@rosecreepystump ...run ads on the video themselves, and i had never made any money on it. so i put it here and you can download it as an old music practice sample: https://t.co/8YGRhm17kg

@rosecreepystump it disappeared because the people managing the copyright for that particular instrumental decided to block views just about everywhere in the world iirc. not a choice on my end, just someone somewhere deciding no fun allowed, even though they had the option at that point to...

@DumbsYT what kind of parody is it? i'm interested, i did a dj sona lyric-cover back in the day that went well, but i don't usually do funny parodies, just more serious ones.

@1stSpikeNip @Ukaraiah @ellegist i hope this helps!

@1stSpikeNip @Ukaraiah @ellegist it's sarcasm and sibling rivalry, for anyone who doesn't get the joke. not actually a person calling their brother a dick for making the presents look gorgeous. the juxtapositioning of positive descriptions and insults are a good way to show jealousy in a self-effacing manner

Sadly, his friend grew up with guns, went to the shooting range all the time and had just taken the NRA safety course and his friend still took his father’s loaded unsecured gun, raised it up and shot my son in the head. And don’t worry I blame myself everyday it was my job to protect Ethan and I failed. You don’t need to pile on. I hope and pray you don’t ever have to bury a child. Merry Christmas.

[Kristin Song @kristinsong3]

My name is Kristin Song.

On January 31, 2018, my son Ethan was shot in the head in his best friend's house. The father/gun owner stored 3 handguns and ammunition in a shoebox. Ethan's friend had been accessing the guns for over 6 months.

At the hospital, the ER doctor slid down the wall, put his head in his hands, and whispered, "Your son is gone." At that instant, all I knew, loved and trusted was imploded into a million tiny pieces.

I begged to say goodbye to my beautiful boy. I wanted to kiss his forehead, tell him how cherished he was, and tuck him in one last time. But the doctor begged me to remember Ethan as he was, you see, he was unrecognizable even to my eyes.

The day before Thanksgiving in 2018, the prosecutor told me she would not charge the negligent gun owner, and if I wanted negligent gun owners to be held accountable, I would have to change the law.

So I did.

6 months later, Connecticut passed Ethan's Law, which requires gun owners to secure their weapons if children can gain access.

Then, I learned that so many states stood silent on this issue, so in 2019, I turned my attention to passing Ethan's Law nationally. I met with over 400 congressional offices, 130 of them Republican.

In 2022, Ethan's Law was passed in the House of Representatives as part of the Safer Communities Act. Sadly, it was not picked up in the final package.

When the Democrats lost the House of Representatives in 2023, I pivoted to passing safe gun storage laws in the States. As a result, Michigan, New Mexico, and Maryland passed safe storage laws.

Currently, I am working with 5 states to pass Ethan's Law.

I am emotionally and mentally exhausted, but I will not stop until there is a cultural shift in this country where it becomes second nature to secure your weapons around unsupervised children.

If you believe in protecting children from gun violence, please follow and repost.

i wanna sing with @AURORAmusic one day...... will post here again when it happens. gotta get her book first to see the thought process. so curious about that, i wonder if i guessed right >:)

[horizon / OPHELIA ANADYOMENE @ohanadyomene]

@g1ghada1 @michaelsheen @WCKitchen anyways. i pray to any god listening for world peace with harm to none.

[horizon / OPHELIA ANADYOMENE @ohanadyomene]

@g1ghada1 @michaelsheen @WCKitchen is so important to me. they focus on what can be done, not lofty goals that could result in the destruction of humanity.

"even WWIII" would be a horrific thing to place as a burden onto the children caught in this war.

[horizon / OPHELIA ANADYOMENE @ohanadyomene]

in a very important way many of us are just elsas that got stuck in the dungeon listening to the call

[horizon / OPHELIA ANADYOMENE @ohanadyomene]

@michaelsheen @WCKitchen they are actively still helping with the hurricane in Mexico as well as assisting anyone relocating, fleeing, or affected israel and palestine. they distribute food, either in the form of hot meals or meal kits, to anyone in need. this is the kind of stuff i prefer to focus on

[horizon / OPHELIA ANADYOMENE @ohanadyomene]

@michaelsheen on the bright side @WCKitchen is doing a great job of feeding any families impacted by this. they are stationed around Gaza and have on-the-ground resources within to help get meal kits and more to the place. it's a good thing to donate to if you'd like something that helps all.

i am not back in the saddle. i am NEAR the horse and we are taking a break

@homestuck are you guys ok, and what happened to the other team? are they good too? just worried on my end mostly, it's been silent until we got the update and even then it was just a switch of hands mostly.
