The Republicans have decided we no longer need bees and are defunding the USGS Bee Lab. Please tell your friends, your representatives, local beekeepers, crafting clubs, your classmates, and everyone who has ever seen a bee that this is happening and that the Republicans are behind it. Scream about this. We in the professional bug world make fun of the bee people for having some of the only consistent funding and support in the whole field, but now even that is going away. Write it on your car. Tell someone at the store. Email your professor. Make a tiktok. Draw it on the sidewalk. Do NOT let them sneak this by.

Oh oh! Do you have other ideas/plans for merch? Like clothing, hoodies, etc?? A Wally Darling inspired hoodie would look super fire đĽ
Hello! Thank you so much for asking!!
Yes, we have already begun planning what will arrive next! (Clothes have been on the table, although I can't say much beyond that!) However- It can only come to fruition if we are successful with this first shop run! With that said, the final day for the shop before it is taken down will be May 10th at 11:59 PM PST!
If we are successful with our sales and if the shop proves to be popular, we will be able to re-open with our original four plushes (Wally, Barnaby, Julie, and Frank) as evergreen products (Meaning they will not go away!) and with more on the way! (Not just plushes either!)
Thank you for your ask!
It was the final one of our big Q&A Ask-travaganza!

I've been watching European news channels, and there's been a massive power outage across Spain, Portugal, and southern France. The only reason some stations were even able to report on it was because they had generators to keep their broadcasts running and update the public. No one knows the cause yet â some suspect a cyberattack, while others believe it could be a climatological event.
Restoring electricity is the top priority, since nearly everything depends on it.
Cell phones aren't working, not even landlines, and there's no Wi-Fi either. There are no traffic lights, no trains, and no metro service. People have been trapped for hours in elevators and on trains. Hospitals are struggling to keep their backup generators running. Airports are at a standstill, and travelers can't even book hotels, leaving them stranded.
Nearly all the stores are closed because cash registers (and security system) won't work without electricity, so people can't buy food, candles, batteries, or even gasoline. Some people can't even access ATMs, and without cash on hand, they're fucked. And of course, food is spoiling in homes, stores, and restaurants, and with no way to heat it, many are being forced to eat it cold.
I can only imagine how much worse it would be if this had happened during extreme winter or summer temperatures, when staying warm or cool would be critical.
This situation really shows how unprepared most people are if something even worse were to happen. It's not a big deal if the power is out for an hour or two, but 10+ hours? That's a different story. This is why it's so important to have an emergency bag or stash. Make sure it includes a first-aid kit, flashlights, candles, fire starters, blankets, canned food, and water â along with a portable radio, ideally one that charges by solar power or a hand crank instead of batteries.
Seriously, it's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
One more thing! I am happy to announce that the Welcome Home website will reopen on: April 11 !!
We are decorating this Home to the best of our ability and hope it will be fun to peruse once our spring cleaning is through! (Spring drawing, spring typing, spring website maintenance, etc!)
One more more thing!- We are also happy to announce... We are getting our very own array of merchandise! (Julie and Frank... Julie and Frank...) Designed by both Huck and Myself! It's been a labor of love we've been working on behind-the-scenes and I am so, so pleased with how they look thanks to those who are helping us- I hope you folks will really like what comes out too!
Welp! Until all of this is revealed in a month or so, I will be gone! So I will see you then! (Or Wally will, I should say- You know how it goes, haha) But have a good day! Remember to wave up high! Even if it's raining!
Tfw when men do that thing where they pretend they have no control over their temper. LOL Itâs so funny like am I supposed to pretend that I donât know youâre completely self-aware and present during this rage performance. Or should I pretend youâre the tortured hero in a movie, possessed by a series of fabricated flashbacks of the war and your father

So today I watched this interview with the Star Trek: The Next Generation cast and they demonstrate the phenomenon "space ship acting"

Ramadan has come to us again. This is the second Ramadan that has come to us during the war. This is very difficult.
Today is also the last day of the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement. Israel refuses to negotiate the second phase of the deal as was agreed on, since this phase guarantees the definitive end of the war. Instead, Israel is now proposing that it wants to extend the first phase of the deal, which Hamas is obviously going to reject (and that's exactly what the media is hyper-fixated on rn).
Israel was supposed to start withdrawing from certain positions in Gaza today but it has not done so, which is in violation of the agreement of course, but who's counting? The second phase was supposed to start tomorrow (Sunday, March 2), but with Israel refusing to negotiate the implementation of this phase, no one knows what this means for Gaza.
In short: Israel is threatening to restart the "war" on Gaza if Hamas doesn't agree on Israel's violation of the already agreed upon deal in January. Is there a crazier example that shows the asymmetry of power between the occupier and the occupied? I don't think so.
Today in Queer Black History Month, I'm celebrating early 19th century transgender sex worker, pickpocketer, and master scammer Mary Jones who made a healthy living fleecing wealthy white johns who never reported the thefts because they didnât want their conservative peers to know they had a fetish for black trans women. She was eventually charged with grand larceny when someone turned her in to the police. The anti-abolitionist media mocked and humiliated her during her trial. But Jones appeared in the NY courtroom âneatly dressed in female attire, elegant, and in perfect style," and completely unbothered in a voluminous white dress, snow-white earrings, and a gold-gilded comb, despite the hordes who waited in the courtroom to jeer and prod her. When asked why she dressed in women's clothing by the court, Jones replied because she looked good in them and because her community had always accepted her that way â Mary Jones, y'all, making them eat it, all the way back in 1836. Jones was convicted of grand larceny and released after five years in prison, at which point she was arrested again for dressing as a woman. She served an additional five months. Upon her release this time she disappeared from recorded history. đłď¸âđ

No one wants to leave the country they grew up in, but news like this shows how difficult it is to live in Gaza with homes, schools and hospitals destroyed.
So I hope you can help me evacuate my family from Gaza so that my father can get treatment abroad. I beg everyone who sees this to either donate or participate so that we can get out of this nightmare.
How itâs going:

Yes I like fictional characters a very normal amount. Donât look at my blog.
Hello! It has been a minute! Thank you all so much for your patience! I hope the holidays were really wonderful and I hope things keep getting better. I am happy to say we have been working on the next update! Itâs very exciting, I feel as though things are coming together and the direction we are going will pave the way for our collection of future updates. (My plan, my plan, haha!) Much of last year was spent building our character bible, voice acting, and layout, all of which has now been completed!) We have also completed a great number of other items that weâll give an update on the closer we get to our drop date!
I will say, as a preview, we intend to spring, sprang, sprung, by springtime!
Until then, we will take care to update us all weekly with artwork and previews of what is being worked on! Keep an eye out every Friday or so on Ko-fi!Â
Huck, the artist of this picture, has a good descriptor of it;
âThis is Julieâs signature Chesskers move:GDG (Gigantic Dino-Gambit!)â
As always, thank you so much for supporting us! Donât forget to wave up high!Â
Itâs uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. Theyâre drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. Weâre no longer part of WHO and there wonât be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. Weâre being censored and the news canât be trusted. Thousands of Americans didnât know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaidâs Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to whatâs going on right now.
According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.
Iâm exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
may the fourth be with you
[id: itâs a drawing of Luke and Leia, both depicted as Blasian with brown skin, based off the Hildebrant poster. Vaderâs mask, which is done in a blue hue, is in the background along with the vast expanse of space and stars, and a large star is reflected in one of his helmetâs lenses. Luke is holding Anakinâs ignited lightsaber above his head, illuminating both him and his sister, and he is wearing his white tunic and grey pants from a New Hope. His hair is brown, curly, and sun bleached. Leia stands just beneath him, wearing her white dress and holding a blaster pistol in one hand. She is depicted as hijabi with her white hijab being done in buns on the side of her head. /end id]
Hey, so TERRIBLE timing, but I've just had some news dropped on me that something FUCKING AWFUL has happened, and now my status as a housed person is QUESTIONABLE Please, if you can, take a read and support! Even sharing around will help!
Hey there.
I'm Synth, or Harper, I'm an Oregon based Voice Actor who's been slowly making my way into the field professionally. I've been struggling most of my life in poverty, and only recently started to get a foothold on my life, the problem is, just as I'm about to round a corner on things, my father, who's been neglectful for years, didn't pay child support when my family seperated, and then paying practically nothing all, despite my mother raising me and my sister.
My mother finally convinced him to do something for us several years ago, making a place where we could get our grounding and be safe.
He has, JUST today, New years eve. Revealed that he has now, completely changed his mind, lied when he made the commitment to help and is now kicking us out of the home.
This is a terrifying moment in my life, and now I only really have the thought of I need to get the hell out of this terrible situation.
He's demanding a rent I can't possibly pay, kicking my mother out of the house, and leaving my sister and I with no possible chance to figure things out.
I hate to ask for support, I don't like feeling like a leech, but I have no other options I can think of... Please, I'm asking for your help. I'm scared and want to move out of this situation, and 30,000 is the only number I can think of that will let me uproot everything and establish myself somewhere new, with some time to get my barings, even a dollar donation is appreciated.

warning: possible st5 spoilers ahead!
this is a simple post I've put together to keep track of what each character wears throughout the show so no one has to rummage through various social media posts to find them. (that, and, the artist in me needed a place to get references of their outfits) most of them are put in the order that they've been revealed to us in!
because of tumblr's image limit, I've had to divide this into three different posts. this one features the party!
if i missed anything, or mixed up any of the outfits, feel free to let me know! i'm trying to make this navigational hub as accurate as possible

Abled gays celebrating marriage equality: well we sure do have nowhere to go from here when it comes to marriage rights. Gay rights!
Me, a disabled lesbian trying to get on ssi thinking about how I will not be able to marry my girlfriend if I do because I can't have more than $2000 to my name at a time and they count a spouse's income towards that: wow .. gay rights ...
