Another freaked out dude. Enthusiasticly mediocre painter of miniatures. I like Turnip28, Tonks, 5 Leagues from the Borderlands, 5 Parsecs from Home, Burrows and Badgers, Forbidden Psalm, that sort of thing. He/him

Everyone saying Stephen Miller is gross or creepy need to meet him in person. It makes sense, why he has power, once you meet him in person. It'll make sense once you make eye contact, feel a little shock of connection and then you'll know you're just a sun-baked worm who must kill or die for him.

More Pubcrawlers - got the first Whelp done, plus the Lump. Digital kitbash from Wargames Atlantic, Vae Victus, and Duncan Shadow. #turnip28
A digital rendering of a miniature. This is a robed rider with a pointed helmet riding a stocky pony. They are armed with a javelin, and there are spare javelins with various heads in a quiver. A long hood hangs down behind. A digital rendering of miniatures. This is a Lump, a large monstrous brute, alongside a regular footman. The infantry is armed with a caliber and is slouched and robed. The Lump is enormous, a large body without legs, dragging itself forward on large hands. It has a long, blank, beakpointed helmet bolted to its head, and a breastplate with chains strung across it. A digital rendering of a miniature. This is a Lump for Turnip28, showing the large lumpy legless body and dragging robes as it pulls itself along. The helmet bolted to its head emerges as a long, angularly bent tail culminating in a bolted on metal mace head. A digital rendering of a miniature this is a Lump for Turnip28, and its blank, pointed helmet and chain-bedecked breastplate are on display. It has large, meaty hands, and is reaching forward with one while pushing itself with the other. It is wearing heavy robes and a castellated collar

Next Turnip unit in the works, Melee Fodder for a Pubcrawler cult. I'm planning Melee Fodder, BP fodder, missile whelps and a Lump, all in this baggy hooded aesthetic. Multiple source kitbash plus a bunch of original work (I just couldn't find polearms that looked *shabby* enough!) #turnip28
Digital models of 12 28mm miniatures. Slovenly, slumped men with overly large beak pointed helmets and hoods carrying an irregular mix of poorly made polearm weapons A digital image of a 28mm miniature. A foot soldier of the lowest order, in baggy pants and thick hood over a large heavy pointed helmet. They are carrying a clumsily-forged polearm.

My big problem with YA fiction is it's all stories of weird kids being weird and the world changing itself to celebrate and fit their weirdness, instead of genuinely useful advice like how to pretend to be normal so the idiots at school leave you alone.

Played in a Turnip grand battle yesterday, the forces of the Eel King did well in the field, but we brave defenders of Krotz threw them back from our walls. Much blood, much mud, entirely futile. #turnip28
6 foolish frog soldiers attempt to stop a thundering pack of shattered lancers. They did not succeed. At all. Not even a little. Squish. Painted miniatures, 6 armored knights on horses posed on a wooden boardwalk attacking 6 anthropomorphic frogs on foot with shotguns. Frogs peek out past the battered crenellations of Krotz. A painted miniature set of city walls with a ladder leaning against them. Several frog soldiers with shotguns are posed around the battlements, with a tattered flag held high. The flag reads 'LUTO RANAE FUMO' which in Latin reads 'MUD FROGS SMOKE' Shattered knights begin their assault on the walls of Krotz, here defended by Tod. Painted miniature cavalry lined up facing half-ruined walls manned by painted miniature soldiers. The Red Ribbon Society, blinded by the lies of the Eel King, joined in the attack on Krotz, opposing the rocket batteries of St Alamei bravely protecting the walls. Painted miniatures in serried ranks facing a ruined miniature city. There is a skull gate and ruins, and miniature rocket launchers and soldiers on the wall.

As I got closer to 50, I realized I'd started drumming on the steering wheel. Straight up singing along to Lido Shuffle by Boz Scaggs. Fumbling with the CD player because I hadn't yet gotten the Bluetooth to work.
"It'll happen to you!" I yell at cool 20 year olds, "You can't escaaaaaape!"

Change of plans, now I'm going to come up with the second cleverest avatar name on Skycards cuz my man here just set the bar impossibly high.
A user avatar for the game Skycards, with a smirking man in a suit wearing sunglasses. His name is DB Pooper

Florida universities are being told by the Board of Governors that they can no longer use certain words and concepts in classrooms anymore. Words like disparities, racism, sexism. And concepts such as income inequality or cumulative disadvantage. As a medical sociologist, this bothers me. A thread.

The shore detachment of the mud navy is pretty much done. Gonna put some tuft grass on, matte coat them, then paint on some gloss varnish on the liquid mud of their bases. Yes, that flag is just a piece of paper towel. I'll run them as Wigmakers #turnip28 #miniatures
Painted miniature anthropomorphic frogs in British naval uniforms carrying shotguns, one is very large with a cannon in its mouth. A standard bearer carries a flag with the motto 'LUTO RANAE FUMO' which I think translates to 'MUD FROGS SMOKE'

The Justice Department absurdly says that there's no reason to stop its racial profiling program because racially profiled individuals can sue for damages for wrongful CBP/ICE detentions. They are lying! And its citation does not remotely demonstrate it. CBP/ICE acts with near-total impunity.
