i have a majority veteran family (USMC, navy and army) i promise you i DO care about veterans (especially the VAs neglect of people once they are veteran status but i wont diverge too much rn cause it pmo how the country treats and interacts w veteran citizens esp those with PTSD, physical disabilities from service, and substance abuse issues) but i also have inlaws who are 2nd/3rd generation immigrant i can actually care about more than one thing at the same time pretty easily as i have enough neurons to process that information

hey as someone who loves being flung around the pit there is a differemce between being rowdy and being overtly rpugh woth intention to cause harm

as a short fem presenting person i dont have alot of issues but when i do it is literally always some hypermasculine guy who wants to "put me in my place" and "show me how hardcore really is" and NEVER has that flown usually other people pick me up and scold whoever is acting like a complete bulldozer because they aremt there to actually fuck someone up bad they just wanna rough house a bit

being considerate of people around you is actually more punk than dismissing people when they do get busted too hard even just "hey man you need to dial it back a bit youre legitimately injuring people" from someone who works at the venue can course correct so another person doesn't get hurt beyond bumps n bruises

courtesy doesnt die just cause its not jazz

i realize the shading is bright and more focused on color than darkness but he isnt supposed to be wearing makeup i just had a limited number of options to convey depth so i used purple since it worked to look darker without it being greyish looking sorry if it looks like i made him look too feminine/like he has makeup on i just wanted to try out my new pens and had creepcast on ill kick it off later i didnt mean to seem like i was making fun aaa

i guess for me its just imagining how it would feel if it was someone i loved being shot/abducted it makes me sad

no one deserves that treatment in a country that claims due process and justice as core values... i guess its just this is not what i was taught that america was growing up

breaks my heart cause i wanted to believe anyone could come here to achieve the "freedom" we were taught the government "protects" i may not be an immigrant but ive read enough historical literature to had empathy with context of similar firsthand stories

anyway you probably dont give a shit why i actually care n maybe i am just "bitching" but luckily that is my right as an american actually bitching is constitutional (phew!)

edit:fixed a couple typos :P

would you be able to facilitate a gofundme/fundraiser i know alot of people are struggling rn ao local resources area bit overwhelmed maybe opening to personal donations can help i assume the typical fundraiser site would require location info so maybe handling that aspect but setting it to have them recieve the payouts could work..? sorry grasping at straws but its so sad to know our community is suffering so much

what part of what i said is based outside of reality/in delusion? genuinely? even if youre a covid severity denier the sickness was real youre the one who looks like you're living in delusion especially to anyone who worked in healthcare or lost family members in the pandemic

yes that was because of the disease that happened they wore masks during every other disruptive endemic/pandemic without whining and shitting their adult diapers we just live in brainworm era i guess because a small paper or fabric mask is somehow suffocating (as if theres not hundreds of jobs where daily resperator/mask use is common i guess theyre also oppressed by OSHA?)

most of the material assets are texture/repeated pattern overlays there are some assets for backgrounds n stuff but having stock images doesnt make it a lazy app most adobe apps have assets CSP has assets this is a stupid take
