It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

I like how the new Genderfluid mini looks a lot more compared to my previous attempt! I got this Genderfluid #Battletech Grizzly repainted!

I love Battletech lore videos because I learn things like the Free Worlds League was in part founded because two of the original 3 founders kept sharing their nerdy ass special interests with one another.

I began painting a Genderfluid Grizzly from #BattleTech but honestly… didn’t like it. I’ve already cleaned and reprimed it so I’m planning on making it better and maybe reusing some ideas, but honestly I wasn’t very happy with it. If y’all got ideas do share!

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

A yellow cardboard carton on a CVS shelf with brightly colored letters that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” and “statue of liberty chicken.” Inside the carton are hot pink, teal, and royal blue rubber chickens with googly eyes rendered like the Statue of Liberty, with their faces distressed and frozen in a shriek. They have tags around their necks that say “squeeze me to hear me scream”

PSA for all YouTubers: they've been pushing auto AI language dubs onto channels recently, and for many viewers it's on by default and some can't even turn it off at all.

While not quite done we have TWO BIG PARTS of #TheWanderingVillage (by @strayfawnstudio.bsky.social) project going strong! The pedestal and villager! I’d like to have it all done this month!

The top of the pedestal will have flock on it later so NO PAINT!
