my fic for the 2k18 capri big bang

Damianos, Captain of The Egeria and the Ellosean Sea.

Damen was a steadfast pirate with as much heart as devotion, as dedicated to his cause as he was to the sea. He was stronger than most, more loyal than any, and each new voyage filled him with something inimitable that no one else could understand, aside for perhaps his crew.

Every expedition was different, varying in length and difficulty, never to be predetermined. At the end of each there was time to recuperate, a chance for everyone to spend it as they saw fit before returning to reality. For Damen there was his private area on the rocks by the water where he found quiet, serenity, and a way to always be close to the ocean.

Until one night, he found something else, something new. An unearthly creature unlike any other, with a beauty that rivaled anything he had ever seen.

It would appear that mermaids were more than just a myth.

If you are a writer and you cannot attend protests

The best thing you can do is construct fill-in-the-blanks for letters for people to contact their representatives. Many people want to contact their legislators, but do not know how to make their voice heard in letter form. 

You can help.

Research who the leaders in your area are and what their contact info is.

Form a letter that is coherent, explicit in its demands and does not include emotional language, name-calling or swearing. (these are often tossed in the garbage and considered harassment)

Post this letter online and allow people to download it, fill in their names and send it.

Almost close #wip

Also feet #studies #doodle

I need to not draw so late at night but I could not resist the siren call of 'draw your asshole OC in clothes you/your friends wore in high school.' What a cringe inducing exercise.

At #realmscon all weekends! Come see us at table 27! @jesibeans @decemberbellz #artistalley #artistsontumblr #artistsoninstagram

How to Safely and Ethically Film Police Misconduct

Know your rights.

While people are inclined to whip out their phones and film when they see something alarming happening, those videos are not always recorded in a way that can be used as evidence in a legal proceeding or to support advocacy tactics.

At the human rights organization WITNESS, where I work as the senior U.S. program coordinator, we’ve learned that video has a greater chance of making an impact when it’s filmed ethically and strategically, and released in coordination with advocacy and legal efforts. Using the camera in your pocket can be a valuable way to ensure the world bears witness to abusive policing and systemic racism, help hold authorities accountable, and advocate for the real safety of our communities.
