Asexuality doesn’t have anything to do with the color of your skin!
I wanted to do this piece for two reasons; One, honestly, I saw a post about different eye types, and I really wanted to explore that and that created an urge to draw people of different ethnicities.
But the big reason is that in the ace community, people tend to associate it with white people. There’s a lot of racism and aphobia that goes into this too, like, saying that it’s a “white person’s thing”, and it isn’t. Anybody of any race or religion or gender can be asexual. It isn’t like, a “white person thing”. And I know a lot of POC feel excluded due to all of the overbearing whiteness in the ace community. I really??? Wanted to try to make people feel okay you know??? Shoot. Like, I couldn’t draw too many face types, but- I really– really want more representation for ace people of colour.
Anyway, please take care.
So cute!

What they really need is some small dogs. A pack of IGs could take care of that problem easily!
You have the right to vote safely! If you have been avoiding registering to vote in the US due to domestic violence or threat of violence, please check out the resources for your state. In Wisconsin, this includes threats to someone in your household, as well as yourself and your child/ward.
[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying
“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]
If you’re in the US, see if your local library has Hoopla! They carry all five seasons of Leverage with no ads.
Hoopla is an online service libraries can provide. The library pays for each thing people check out on Hoopla, so there is a limit to how much you can check out each month. It’s completely free to you with no ads though. You can watch on your browser or through Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, or a bunch of other devices.
If you’re willing to go with physical media, your local library may have Leverage DVDs that you can check out, if they don’t have Hoopla or you want to binge faster.
Any chance you know where I can watch the first season of leverage? i know its on hulu but i really cant afford to drop the money it wants for the subscription, and im having no luck finding working streams for some reason. I really want to get into it
It used to be on Netflix but then it disappeared... It is on Amazon, but it’s only free with ads if you have Amazon Prime. And there are...captioning issues... But! If captioning isn’t a concern and you have Amazon Prime, you can watch it on there, which is what I did (though captions were definitely a concern and I sent a lot of peeved complaints in).
Aside from that, tubi appears to have Leverage available to watch free? I swear I saw a post going around a while ago where folks could watch Leverage free and with bonus stuff from the creators... But I don’t know where I saw it and who reblogged it...
Anyone else have advice as to where to watch Leverage? Help an anon get into this absolutely amazing show!!
Please remember that you CANNOT rely on rulings like this. A conservative administration could force the FDA to change its ruling, with little or no warning. The only way to protect access to abortion in the US is by voting out anti-abortion politicians at all levels.
Don’t get me wrong -- I think this is a great move by the FDA! Despite the headline, though, there is no guarantee that everyone in the US will always be able to get abortion pills by mail.
Finally, some good news.
