The next #ArcticCheetah bolsters my #ClanWolf forces. Yes, I know the flamer is on the other side, but to me, the sculpt ahas always looked like the electronics package is on the opposite side.

Hey folks, tomorrow's the day. If I can't raise at least $800 just for rent, then I'm out at the end of the month. My list of currently-available miniatures are below, and if you want to donate directly, you can use my Paypal. It's a really bad month for me in general, and I need help. #MutualAid

I wake up
I spend 8 hours demolishing my own appartment to ensure everyone knows I'm woke enough to go to the antifa party
I spend 8 hours working with the construction crew at my address to pay my rent.
When I finish repainting my bedroom I go to sleep in the fumes

It turns out "normal guy who tries to reach you where you are" is a winning message next to "freak (crystals)", "freak (berret)", and "freak (killed your grandma)"

The idea that America can't be better is a luxury belief you can only have if you think the fascists can't get you. It can be and it needs to be or we're all fucked.

A lot of veterans that fought in integrated units or commands came home with very different ideas about their fellow Americans than they left with. The US also did desegregate the army prior to the civil rights act because it turns out institutional racism is kind of a waste of materiel

Yes, a lot of the higher ups and the general structure of the military were incredibly exclusionary and racist. There are incredibly shameful things this country has done to non-white service members. However there's very little that punches through bigotry faster than taking fire with someone.

Last semester I took a class on black civil rights between the civil war and the civil rights act and the parts on the military were especially interesting.

Battletech House Davion - 1st Kestrel Grenadiers - Blood Asp Prime

The Blood Asp is easily one of my favorite mechs. Stomping around in Mech Assault with this guy was always a blast

My Davion 350 pt. Army for this weekend is finished
