A tiny town in Southside, Virginia with a population of ~6000 people has contracted with Flock to install 400 always-on cameras to surveil its six-square-mile footprint. That's one camera per 15 residents, or nearly 67 per square mile.
everything is not coming up very jimbo today... missed my med management appointment this morning cause my alarms didn't go off and gotta wait a month for next opening, was really hoping i could get my dosage upped today. also realized i gave myself elbow bursitis from my shitty office chair
Time once again to exonerate themselves and blame their constituents
we have uncovered the soy right face
"Remarkably, the House bill (but not the Senate bill) has a delayed effective date of July 1, 2027, indicating that House leaders are reluctant to slow the data center buildout even to protect the reliability of the electricity supply."
i love the current white house strategy of “daily undeniable evil scandals that make them look evil and insane” i think they should keep this up
trying not to cry as I relate to nearly every single thing in this kid's book, my therapist didn't know I don't make eye contact cause we do virtual only and I have no problem looking at a screen

As Flock cameras and APLRs are abused by law enforcement to spy on people for personal reasons, the only reason why this abuse was published was because the victim was another police officer.

Illustration of Elliot from Stardew Valley, his body close and looming over my farmer Darcy (they/them) in the Stardew Valley Library. He has one arm wrapped around the farmer's body and his other arm is braced against the bookshelf, boxing the smaller framed farmer in with his large body. He's staring down at Darcy with a silty look in his eyes, teasing them for the book that they're holding, which appears to be a smutty harlequin novel called "One Night with the Merman". He's taking the open book from the farmer's grasp, holding it open lazily with his hand. Darcy is looking up at Elliot with a look of surprise, an expression that matched their body language. Their shoulders are up and tight, like Elliot snuck up behind them while they were engrossed in their book.
Art request I did for the lovely @mongoosing.bsky.social ❤️ she wanted to have me draw a scene from one of their Kinktober fics!

An image of Shane doing that one bulge art meme where the subject pulls a pair of jeans up their legs but their bulge and ass are stopping the jeans from being pulled all the way on. Shane is looking down at his waistline with a disgruntled and frustrated look on his face, clearly annoyed that the pants don't fit.
This is the reason why your boy wears cargo shorts year round, jeans don't agree with him 🍆💦

LET'S FUCKING GO
“...Roem continued, “because all the heavy hitters of corporate Virginia hate this bill, and so they don't like it because it will limit their ability to make as much money as possible from sticking these things where they don't belong.”
"A Suffolk man has been charged with multiple felonies after police say he admitted to destroying more than a dozen Flock Safety license-plate reader cameras across North Suffolk between April and October, according to a criminal complaint..."
My farmer Darcy (they/them) sitting cross legged in the grass looking to the side. Jas is sitting in the farmers lap, holding a dandelion in her hands and watching the seeds fly away in the wind.
Sketch of my SDV farmer Darcy and Jas that I drew for an ask I got on Tumblr 💜

Shane is turned to face Jas, who is kneeled down to tie her own shoes. Shane can see her struggling, and sheepishly asks her "hey kiddo, y'need some help tying' your--" Jas interrupts with a loud "HMPH!", stopping Shane mid-sentence. Her expression is exaggeratedly angry and frustrated, her cheeks puffed up with air. It's clear she doesn't want his help and wants to do it on her own. Shane, seeing this, quietly replies to her protest with a "okay, damn"
Jas is standing, body tense and a very serious expression on her face while waiting for her turn to get her picture taken. Both of her tiny fists are balled into fists. Shane is speaking off screen saying "Jas, you're gonna give yourself a headache." Next to Jas is some text, "she's taking this very seriously" with an arrow pointing towards her.
Extra doodles! I think Jas is a kid with VERY big feelings and Shane would look like he was calm outwardly when inside he was also taking picture day very seriously...
A slightly younger Jas from Stardew Valley is looking at the viewer (Shane's POV) slightly leaning over to tie her yellow and pink sneakers, laces tangled in her fingers. The look on her face is as if you broke her out of a deep concentration after grabbing her attention.
Shane with a sleeping Jas up on his shoulders after an emotionally exhausting picture day. Shane is looking up at her, Jas' head slumped on top of his. She's deeply asleep, mouth open and a small dribble of drool.
I wanted to practice drawing children for Stardew Valley reasons and couldn't get the idea of Shane taking Jas to her very first school picture day 🩷

I've been really enjoying journaling and making little collages when I need a creative outlet separate from drawing! It's so fun~ ❤️
A traditional drawing of a raggedy anne-inspired rag doll holding a pocketknife. She's made using markers, pencil, gouache, and colored pencil in bright punchy colors.
little mixed media Sal!
A baby-faced soldier with a funny little mustache crouches in the blackness. He's bloodied and holding an open book which spews glowing red squiggles and stars.

1. Kaine and Warner operate as a single governing unit due to their relationship;
2. Kaine has hinted he won't run in 2030. Expect a hand-picked replacement (like Rep. McClellan) from the Kaine patronage lineage.
3. Primary Mark Warner. The case against him is book length.
ok but the cchinges though...
"Virginia's top state income tax rate has a millionaire and a teacher at the same top state income tax rate, and there's something inherently unfair about that," Soto says. "So, what we're asking is for the ultra-wealthy to finally pay their fair share..."
this sounds about right
