“sometimes the waves keep coming in your direction because the phase you’re in is teaching you how to swim; above your fears and insecurities, above opinions or assumptions that don’t belong to you, above everything that suffocates you so you can finally learn how to breathe.”

[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”]
I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware
but!
if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public
it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)
ALSO :
you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

~ Moritz von Schwind (1804–1871), Die Katzensymphonie (The #Cat Symphony), 1868 (Pencil, pen and brush on paper)
The drawing is a violin melody, on which cats are presented instead of notes. The composition can be interpreted as a caricature of Richard Wagner’s music, which the artist did not much appreciate. Schwind gifted the music sheet to one of his friends, the violinist Joseph Joachim. The reason for the gift was Joachim’s appointment as director of the Berlin University of Music. The melody of course was unplayable.
Could be played on the bagpipes.

does anyone have that one painting with the ghosts standing in the water?
like theyre in the water and they’re staring off to the side and there’s something so very wrong about it and they’re bending over and trailing along like deer in the headlights but you can’t see what they’re staring at which might make it even scarier
like this
beach day beach day
by the way, the artist is olivia steen (website linked above) and apparently, her other works are just as breathtakingly eerie
