These are the brush settings I have found and adjusted myself over the years. I’m pretty sure that the sketch one is just a modified version of makanidotdot’s. I can’t take full credit for them, but I hope they are useful all the same!

(also the paint brush works best for me at a smaller size, and on S-4 in the stabilizer. I usually sketch on a lower setting like 15.)

yall know why the moonligth boys dont have a fan base, or fanpages dedicated to them like cmbyn or love simon? because their black. And yall exclude moonlight from absolutely everything because yall find it unrealistic to have a gay ship that consists of dark skinned black guys. Ashton sanders should of gotten the same hype timothee chalamet got. He should have the same amount of instagram followers and even more. The amount of emotion he put into that performance is insane. He cried just like yall precious elio did, he kissed another boy just like elio did as well. But nope, timothee chalamet cried in front of a fire place so he is THIS GENERATIONS ACTOR. And Jarell jerome was payed DUST! He was absolutely incredible for a first time film actor. the lgbtq wants rep only if its white boys making out. As long as straight girls can swoon over at least one of the actors, the film will prosper. I know i’ve posted something similar to this, but yall are actually terrible. especially tumblr. Moonligth won a whole oscar for crying out loud. and Ashton is only in talks for one film, while timothee chalamet literally got casted for THREE more upcoming films. THREE! you see how POC have to do double the work white actors have to do?? Am i mad? Yes. Also i hope the cmbyn sequel flops. good bye. aristotle and dante is coming for everyones wig

I really can’t stop thinking about this post. Just for context, with $65.3m Moonlight earned more money at the box office than Call Me By Your Name ($41.3m) and Love, Simon ($64.8m).

Moonlight also garnered more accolades, with 279 nominations and winning 155 awards than Call Me By Your Name (235 nominations, 106 awards) and Love, Simon (13 nominations, 4 awards). Also, it’ s worth remembering that Moonlight won the Academy Award for Best Film. 

All the people associated with this film should be in demand. Moonlight should have garnered the same kind of social media attention as those other films. Black people really aren’t exaggerating when they say you have to do twice as much for half the reward.

The GOP tax bill—the amount of money that was given to corporations and the rich would have paid for Medicare for all and healthcare for every man, woman, and child in this country for the next five years. So it’s there. And additionally, we added several hundred billion dollars additionally to our military spending, when the military didn’t even ask for it. They didn’t even want that additional spending, but we lopped it on there—and that could have financed public college tuition for years as well. So we actually have the money for these things.

We actually have the money for these things.

It’s not “ponies and unicorns”

It’s not “pie in the sky”

It’s not “unrealistic”

It’s not “too expensive”

It’s all about who has the courage to change the status quo and realign our priorities

We actually have the money for these things.

Now here is some ding-danged useful information! Another user pointed out that over half of small debt collectors lack this information because they buy their debts in bulk for cheap and in return get really disorganized paperwork. They encourage folks to look up “debt validation letter” online to get more information on this.

My disdain for cops is institutional, not individual. Just because you may have a positive personal relationship with someone who is a cop doesn’t change the fact that the law enforcement system in this country is rooted in white supremacy and is used to repress and control the working class while protecting the elite.

All cops have signed up to enforce a system which is oppressing marginalized people in this country on a daily basis. Your personal relationship with an agent of oppression does not change this fact.

I’m bedridden with CRPS.  The gov. is depriving me of the home care that provides food/water to my bed.  

I COULD DIE OF DEHYDRATION.

Jan 21: ONLY 35 MINUTES LEFT to raise $1578  *$1498*  for disability care. Non-payment could terminate my care - I SIMPLY WOULDN’T SURVIVE.

Only $80 raised so far. ONLY 35 minutes LEFT to raise $1498!!!! If this continues it will be EXTREMELY UNLIKELY to reach the goal on time. Non-payment would put MY LIFE AT RISK. PLEASE, PLEASE DONATE.

  1. My CRPS leaves me permanently bedbound, unable to even walk to food/water
  2. Without paid carers, I’d literally STARVE AND DEHYDRATE.
  3. Despite medical evidence, the government has now refused me care (deprivation is widespread: [1] [2] [3] [4])
  4. Raising enough donations for my care is now A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH.
  5. Lack of paid cleaning could breach my lease and get me PERMANENTLY BANNED from rental subsidies. Being BEDBOUND, HOMELESSNESS COULD KILL ME.
  6. $1635 in care fees must be raised within the next 2 days. Without payment, my care can be terminated, with potentially FATAL RESULTS.
  7. $25k+ care debts must be paid gradually, incl. $1550 to be raised now.
  8. RECURRING DONATIONS (monthly/weekly/etc) ARE ESP. APPRECIATED. They could guarantee my ongoing care and would PREVENT CONSTANT FEARS FOR MY LIFE

I’m bedbound. Without compensation to fund my care, I risk FATAL DEHYDRATION & HOMELESSNESS

Updated: ONLY 20 MINUTES LEFT to raise another $1772  ***$983*** to fund medicolegal fees etc. Any delays could destroy my court case & risk DANGEROUS NEGLECT.

  • An accident left me permanently bedbound and in need of 24-hour care  [Medical reports]. 
  • Compensation is my ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME chance to guarantee healthcare and escape neglect
  • Otherwise, I could be deprived of life-sustaining care
    • I could be killed by dehydration alone if carers don’t provide food/water to my bed
    • I could be evicted and left to face deadly homelessness, unless cleaning is done by carers
  • My compensation outcome will depend on the medicolegal assessments.
  • ONLY 2 DAYS left to raise the remaining $2232 by Jan 3 (ET) via short term goals. I also need $600 for urgent dental treatment 
  • Delays could lead to: breaching court mandated evidence service deadlines, losing the compensation claim, and paying OVER $20,000 in Defendant’s legal costs.

when i was in middle school, i got bullied for being a black fall out boy fan.

literally almost every day of my life these idiots would trash my interests and my personality because of my race.

all because “emo music is white culture”.

if you’re a person of color who’s bullied for their “white” interests, i raise my glass to you and wish you have an amazing day. it will get better, you rule.

if you’re white, you can and are encouraged to reblog this. thank you for being kind and wonderful to kids of color.

I say this every time I argue for raising the minimum wage. I never hear anyone else say it and I’m glad I found this.

If you build your business and your bonus on the backs of others who you don’t pay a living wage you don’t deserve to be in business.

this is making capitalists bleed from the ears keep reblogging it

Since I tend to get into this with people who argue that robots will replace minimum wage workers if they get too expensive, I like to lean into the robot metaphor.

If you have a machine performing a valuable talk for your company, the upkeep of that machine is part of your operating cost. You have to pay to power it, to upgrade it, to fix it when it breaks. And if you can’t afford the machine, the manufacturer doesn’t have to do business with you. They’re free to take their service somewhere else where they think the price is fair.

For humans, a living wage is the operating cost. If you can’t afford to pay your worker enough to live nearby, feed themselves, and get basic health care - all of which are things they need in order to be able to work for you - you’re failing to pay for the cost of their service. 

The difference is that humans have to eat, like, all the time, so they often don’t have the option of taking their business somewhere else if the price isn’t fair - even insufficient food and shelter is better then starving on the street. But that means those people are not really able to act as agents in a free market, and it’s easy to exploit them under the guise of “the market setting the price.” People can’t act like reasonable economic agents when they’re desperate. As for as I can tell, that’s the whole point of having a minimum wage. 

Keep reblogging this, it’s making capitalists mad
and reaching out to the working class
