There are so many ways to make moodboards, bookcovers, and icons without plagiarizing! As artists, authors, and other creatives, we need to be especially careful not to use someone else’s work and pass it off as our own.
Please add on if you know any more resources for free images ❤
recently found out about openverse which i think aggregates a bunch of creative commons images from flickr, wikimedia, nasa etc… pretty handy
I’m shocked so many people don’t know about my go to – Morgue File.
It’s full of searchable, rights free images uploaded by photographers.
“Crimes against humanity” does not mean “crimes against homo sapiens” or “crimes committed by human beings against human beings”, it means “crimes committed against basic decency that violate the rights of personhood”.
It is referring to the philosophical concept of humanity, i.e. *being humane*, i.e. acts, not referring to the species.
Because the first thing you do in any genocide is label the other as not human.
Tesla and SpaceX would not exist without massive government spending
Pay attention to the ones who are the real parasites.
SpaceX is the only one musk can actually claim to have founded.
the technology used in the Falcon 9 is based on Strategic Defense Initiative research and a prototype called the DC-X, which was doing backflips in the sky in 1991.
The technology used for the BFR, aka “starship”, was based on Philip Bono’s research team, dating back all the way to the early 60s.
The concepts for the BFR, not even the math, go back as far as the early fifties in science fiction.
This man merely provided some of the funding that congress refused to give to NASA. there was no tech barrier to overcome, simply funding.
Well, at least in return for the $8.60/18 eggs I spent today, I’m getting the core destruction of American government services (no National Park vacation for us this year!), and the alienation of our global friends and allies in favor of murderous, authoritarian regimes. I’d hate to think it was all for nothing.
Why can’t they just let their fellow Americans live in peace. All this Republican hatred began with Newt Gingrich. All at once they were all in Congress yelling insults, shouting people down, and foaming at the mouth on Fox News and talk radio about how the rest of us were demonic enemies that needed to be killed. And that last point tied right in with “Dubya” Bush and Karl Rove paying evangelical ministers to preach Republican values.
Anyone who has worked a real job knows the look of someone standing there looking at something that’s gonna fuck up their afternoon

i could recognize this expression, this stance, the strain in the voice over the phone from a hundred yards away
and if you think that’s not a fair example because firefighters are used to showing up to stuff that fucks up a whole afternoon, consider the full picture
There are so many Republican lies about immigration with most coming from Musk and Trump himself. Trump says undocumented migrants are being housed in NYC luxury hotels. Musk says NYC is paying double the going rate to house them there. Both are lies.
Federal funds were legally dispersed by Congress for emergency migrant housing, under a strict set of guidelines. The hotel is a closed dilapidated building that is undergoing refurbishment. NYC is spending twelve dollars and fifty cents per person to house these people in the dead of winter so they won’t be on the streets straining already taxed social services. $12.50 to keep someone alive in a frigid New York winter.
Trump/Musk/DOGE illegally used a government computer system to pull back the money already deposited in a city bank account. Not only was it illegal but they didn’t inform anyone in NYC they were doing it. City auditors and accountants went to work the next morning to find $80 million mysteriously missing and to also find the city liable for tens of thousands in overdraft fees. Once they traced it back to the federal government they contacted their bank who politely waived the overdraft fees when Trump’s illegal action was explained.
Once Congress authorizes money for something it is against the law to use it for other purposes or to withhold it from its intended purpose. NYC will have to join everyone else in federal court to get it back.
The richest man in the world and his orange billionaire puppet won’t spend $12.50 to keep a human being from freezing to death.
I’m so sick of these heartless Republican monsters.
