Not only does ICE need to be abolished, but there should be publically aired tribunals for as long as it takes to hold every last one of these thugs accountable. No one, not even the people who file paperwork or handle payroll, should be immune from prosecution.

An outfit reference chart for my OC Elaine. She tends to wear plain, "outdoorsy" clothes in cool colors and a lot of grays and blacks. She has an orange high-vis vest for fieldwork that she hates. Her pajamas consist of old novelty nature shirts, here she is shown with a shorebirds graphic shirt. Her hair can be tied up or down, but her undercut is always just a bit overgrown. She has a lot of scars and bruises.

An outfit chart for my OC Reid, who is tall, has some stubble growing in, and has thin long reddish hair that is graying at the bangs and temples. She wears a lot of earth tones that are comfortable and loose, and usually prefers more coverage even in the summer (other than shorts). Due to her height, her pants are always just a little too short. Really enjoys layering with scarves, hats, jackets. Sometimes uses a cane for joint paint flareups. Pajamas consist of comfy old hoodies and flannel pants, and is always wearing glasses.

Some outfit refs for art fight (artfight.net/~taxon) that ended up being much more detailed than I expected lol • #ocs #art

for sure!!! I'm currently in "waiting mode" too for when I can move abroad and I fall into the idea often that I'm not truly "living" until that happens... which is incorrect and I try to catch myself in those patterns and remember my life rn is absolutely still valuable and NOT stalled. ily dude! 💚

I've spent a lot of my life being miserable in "waiting mode" and feeling like I couldn't truly live until a certain far-off event happens (even now I fall into this trap). but you owe it to yourself to improve your circumstances as they are now, even if it seems daunting 🫶
