This is one of the show’s most-impressive feats, period. How does he do it?
In costume, he hovers a full foot off the ground, bobbing up and down as if he were genuinely levitating.
From a standing position, he can take off and quickly gain (and maintain) momentum.
He can fly steadily for hundreds of yards, not losing a single inch of height.
Hmm.
Getting a good look at his costume, there’s little to be seen. Nothing on his feet, and no indication of wires… though to be fair, he would have nothing to hang from, using said wires outside.
Here, he passes over the sled by mereinches, further discounting any sort of extra objects attached to his feet.
Oh! Oh! They caught him! Here we go!
Lemme try to guess… well, in order for him to:
Hover, standing, a foot above the ground
Initiate horizontal flight instantly
Fly for several hundred yards or more
Maintain height indefinitely without descending
It would have to be… some form of zero-gravity invention, with hyper-precise movement, controlled by telepathy since he doesn’t move externally?
Maybe an invisible, silent, undetectable helicopter flown by an accomplice, suspending him via wires that are also somehow invisible? What is it?!
Velma: “It was simple! Transparent plastic skis!”

…no.
No.
This is not ok.
YOU CAN’T JUST ACT LIKE SLIGHTLY-TRANSLUCENT SKIS GIVE PEOPLE THE POWER OF LEVITATION
Australia’s only sexual assault network specifically for Aboriginal women has run out of money.
Hey Sis, We’ve Got Your Back is a groundbreaking program that has been working to combat sexual violence against Indigenous women.
The program receives no government funding.
Up until now it has relied on private donations but the money has finally run out.
The first Indigenous woman elected to the New South Wales Parliament, Linda Burney, said it was astounding that the organisation was not getting the support it needed.
“The ‘Hey Sis’ program is absolutely what you need in Aboriginal communities, it’s Aboriginal-owned, Aboriginal-run, run by women who have walked in the shoes of the women that they’re working with,” she said.
Dixie Link Gordon and Ashlee Donahue are the co-creators of Hey Sis and both are survivors of domestic violence themselves.
These women suffer in silence because there’s nothing else for them. They don’t have a way out. She’ll probably go to hospital more times than not, that’s why the statistics are so high. Melissa Wellington The program works by identifying the trusted aunty figures, who are the go-to people for women in their communities suffering sexual assault and violence.
“In every town and every community, there’s an aunty that everyone will run to,” Ms Donahue said.
“There’s one family or one person where they say on a Saturday our lounge room will be full of young people and that’s who I run to, Aunty Beryl over there, you know.”
Hey Sis provides a support network for these aunties and offers them training and mentoring.
In two years, they held 10 forums in communities around NSW and built up a network of 200 aunties.
The program costs $250,000 a year to run.
BOOST indigenous women are at the highest risk of violence of literally anyone else in this whole country I cannot believe there is only one support group and it has no funding.
Please if you have the money, give a little to Hey Sis. This is so important that indigenous women have a safe space and support since anti-indiginous racism is so predominant and is heavy on the victim blaming.
it’s absolutely disgusting that the government will not fund this!!!
it was apparently incorporated in 2016 and received an investment of $500k on may 11th of this year but nobody noticed what was going on until a deviantart user found the sec filing about a week ago – people on 4chan have only just jumped on it over the past several hours, but we dont know anything other than whats in the sec form
hussie is listed as ceo, the form also lists somebody named cynthia dominiguez as cfo
its address is near what pumpkin hq in miami, about 10 minutes away
I’m laughing as hard as heck reading this MSPA Wiki page. It describes that in Homestuck, there are four types of immortality; conditional immortality, conditional mortality, unconditional immortality, and the fourth type, which the wiki terms “inability to keep down the clown”.
