🚨NEW: @cbsnews.com reports ICE is arresting people who can't even legally be deported and holding them without enough food or water in a federal building BASEMENT in Los Angeles. Families dutifully attending check-ins with ICE are being arrested and held for days, forced to sleep on the floor.

These are concentration camps on US soil and we need to start treating them as such really, really fast.

#Char_Roleplay 6/6 Lynn: Ugh, I miss having nice things~ Let me tell you--it's no fun dying. I have literally nothing, and do you know how boring it gets? Sau: ...I think 'boring' is the last consideration on anyone's mind when they think about dying. We just so happen to be an exception. (1/6)

I've been saying this, and friends/family just respond with "I only use it to make my emails sounds more professional." Aggravating that people are cool with destroying the environment and using a plagiarism machine just to avoid learning proper grammar.

I can't believe any Democrat would THINK of allying with Elon Musk. I won't take money from the guy who does a Hitler salute. It's really that simple.

I don't want to 'utilize' AI. I don't want to become 'more efficient'. I don't want to outsource the process of actual thought to a machine. I want to struggle with my words and chip away at my own soul until something shining and glorious and mundane and fucking human emerges. That's being alive.

What an extraordinary, beautiful thing. Sometimes the only sensible response to scientific discovery is wonderment and awe.

Today is Naksa Day, a day of commemoration for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes 58 years ago. Lasting peace means acknowledging atrocities. By carrying our ancestors’ stories and pain, we can strive for a better future for our descendants.

#Char_Roleplay 6/5 Lodiel: Greetings, Sakris. I wasn't expecting to work with you on this. Sakris: Lord Orkus needed a break this month, so I agreed to step in. Lodiel: I thank you for that. Now then, for the question, I'm all too familiar with harsh criticism. (1/5)

Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

Hey~ I'm Niki, and I'm a huge anime fan/gamer who writes YA sci-fi/fantasy~ And sometimes I draw my characters and then use what pictures I have a ton of times. >.>'' I'm also hoping to get into voice acting once I get my technical problems all figured out 😭 I also hate gen AI, so yeah~

Me: I'm not good with horror. Also me: *picks an evil character from a horror game as the main script to work with in my voiceover class tonight* But in my defense, she seems so fun to voice DX''~

#Tropes101 My least favorite genre to experience is horror. DX' I don't do well with being scared, or anything gorey... but at the same time, I have fun when I do a more horror-inspired section in my writing?? I'd probably never write a full horror, though. I just stick to little horror-ish arcs.

#Tropes101 day 3 I'm finding I really like supernatural stuff, especially when mixed in with mystery. 💕 I've been reading the manga for Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, and the supernatural elements mixed with the heart-wrenching mysteries and silly comedy is sooo good~

#Tropes101 day 2 I answered this with my last one, really, but I love fantasy. Especially epic fantasy. Not so much a reading example, but RPGs like the Tales series, Kingdom Hearts, and Final Fantasy really cemented the types of adventures I like 💕

#Tropes101 day 1 Just saw this, so I'm late to the class! But hi, I'm Niki, and I write YA sci-fi/fantasy--heavier on the fantasy side. I'm pretty consistent with preferring fantasy works too, though Apothecary Diaries has me in a choke hold right now despite not being fantasy XD'

From a short story showing how Ifalde and Thavus met that I really want to clean up and share one day~ They're married by the time the books start, and make their debut in book 2.

#Char_Roleplay 6/4 Meri: So it's our turn, huh? Time to show off our sibling power! Mark: o.o' Don't we need Marty for that? Meri: True... I know she's running the show in the background, but she needs to get on camera too! Geez... We'll have to drag her into one later. (1/10)

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

#Char_Roleplay 6/3 Seth: Isn't this the third month in a row I'm doing this? Rota: W-well, you are our captain... Seth: That doesn't mean I have to do *everything*... Who's even in charge of this? Rota: I... think Marty is now. Seth: . . . . . >.>'' So then, what's the question? (1/5)

I've always had a bad habit of favoring Sau and Lynn out of the half-valkyrie group >.>'' So you know what? It's time to draw Kal... and maybe I'll even attempt Curt later, we'll see~
