Rachel from Blade Runner (1982) brings a cigarette to her lips and takes a drag. Smoke floats up to cover half her face. Her eyes reflect eerily, like a cats.

Haha turns out I was the problem the whole time. I completely dropped the ball on this one. We Do This 'Til We Free Us by Mariame Kaba This book is on my digital bookshelf and it was so inspiring and made me feel like change was possible and within reach. I would recommend it to literally anyone.

"We Do This 'Til We Free Us, Abolitionist Organizing and Transforming Justice" book cover.

Some Annaka coded characters.

Hecate from Lore Olympus. She's rolling her eyes in a really classy black blazer with silver shoulder accents. She has a severe bob cut with straight bangs but like in a classy badass way.

Ida from Owl House. Witch lady with big white hair and one gold canine tooth. Sitting in a rocking chair with a skeptical look on her face holding a mug that says "#1 bad girl".

Louise Belcher making an annoyed and disgusted face. Signature pink bunny ears are present.

Mermista from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. She looks like she's laughing in a really sarcastic way.

I know the world is on fire and everything is bad but if you need some whimsy in your life to recharge, I beg you to watch the movie Legend (1985). The proto monster romance influence is unreal. Tim Curry as 10 ft demon. Goth princess is S tier. Omg ✨glitter✨ I feel nothing for bb Tom Cruise.

Tim Curry as a giant red demon with 3 foot tall horns an endless billowing cape, and an even taller scepter.

Goth princess. Pale skin, intense widows peak, giant lace headdress, largest standing dress collar you've ever seen. Black lipstick, curled tendrils gelled to hell and back.

A very young Tom Cruise in a giant sequinesque gold chain mail, and an extremely mirrored gold shield.

Just finished When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill. The perfect book to get through the first week of this gd circus. Sometimes all we have energy for is ourselves. Sometimes we can change the world. Our power is always greater than we remember when we're ready to use it. 💙📚 #nostarreviews

When Women Were Dragons. Author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon. Kelly Barnhill. Dragons hidden amongst foliage and purple flowers. The crescent moon is barely visible in the corner.

There are 6 teams of 6 players each and the branding for each of the teams is A+. The teams are not representing any geographic region, so you can pick on vibes alone. I mean look at these logos!

All 6 team logos arranged in a row 3 across and 2 columns down.
Top left is Laces. A salmon colored background with a mint and white emblem of a basketball. A stylized shoe lace weaves through the emblem to make an loopy "L" shape.
Top center: Lunar Owls. Plum colored background. In the center in white with purple lettering is "Lunar Owls Basketball Club" surrounding a stylized purple owl on a branch against a yellow background.
Top right: Mist BC (basketball club) light blue background. A simple outline of an emblem with the word "Mist" appears to be rising above pillowy clouds of mist, trees, and mountains.
Bottom left: Rose. Leafy green background. At the center is a light pink stylized rose bloom. In a white circle outline and "Rose Basketball Club".
Middle bottom: Phantom BC. A black background. At the center is the outline of a basketball in white. Over that basketball is a white blobby ghost shape. In squiggly letters it says "Phantom BC" below the ghosts eyes.
Bottom right: Vinyl. Background is a maroon. A blue circle outline surrounds the emblem of block letters "Vinyl Basketball Club" around a blue and white basketball illustration.

The merch is really stylish (imo) and you know I got a Founding Fan tee. It's literally their first season so it's a great time to start watching. The production value is extremely high. It streams on Max.

Black tshirt back. In cyan letters "Founding Fan" the word "founding" is the same width as "fan" so fan is huge and founding is smaller. And there's three crown logos underneath and something else that's too small to read in the pic.

For a guy that loves guns, Sylus has terrible muzzle awareness. It still has the magazine in it. And he didn't take it apart. Sir, you're very cute but what are you doing? #loveanddeepspace #sylus

As a treat for finishing my short story I downloaded Love and Deep Space onto my iPad. There are about 50 different currencies, 10 million game mechanics and idk what I'm doing but I finally met Silas. Babes, let me tell you, he's the perfect trigger for your white lace front wig syndrome. 👀

Silas. White/grey hair, blood splattered on his face, and black button up shirt. A raven sits on his shoulder under a cloudy night sky. He's looking down at the viewer.
