Gluten free drop biscuits evaded me twice this morning. First on the right with cubed butter, and second on the left with grated butter.

Should have refrigerated the dough for 15 minutes I think.

And now everyone on the house is pissed because "Dad and AJ woke us up yelling". Because *I* am trying to keep him from going to *motherfucking jail*.

Really tired of trying to do the right thing and getting shit on for it.

17yo had from mid-June to Dec 15th to get 15 hours of community service done, in 2-hour blocks.

His first shift was at 9 this morning. He didn't set his alarms and cancelled his shift when I woke him up to leave.

Somehow I think I willed this into being joking about it yesterday.

I have 5 Red Frames already (and a Blue Frame!), might as well put a 6th one on the shelf.

MG Astray Red Frame is coming, specifically from the SEED FREEDOM Astray Manga!

And if brake cleaner doesn't work, 99% isopropyl alcohol will. Bonus points for also being rocket fuel.

Always pleasantly surprised when my heavily curated Fall Out Boy/My Chemical Romance-based radio station spits out "You Belong With Me" by Taylor Swift.

No idea how it got in there, but I always end up singing.

Working on decals and detailing. Still blows my mind that the swords are big enough to be medium daggers IRL.

Please be an MG Calibarn, please be an MG Calibarn.

I'll take anything from WFM but please be an MG Calibarn.

Or another Astray, I've run out of MG variants of those.

I love posts like this where I don't even need to translate to know exactly what it says based on icon alone

Playing *extreme* devil's advocate here, there's an entire subset of the extremely online left that has been taunted by conservatives with not-very-ambiguous white supremacist language and symbology, that they're pre-conditioned to find it everywhere.

And it's in a lot of fucking places.

Getting a federal court, let alone the appeals court, to even politely say that you are full of shit is a pretty rare event.

Doubly so when they're accusing the government in general, and the President in specifics, of being full of shit.

More of this please.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois.

"We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

Just once I want a lawyer to ask those assholes "what would happen to your life if you were detained without charge for 3 days?" and demand an answer as to whether they think that's ok.

Unfortunately, they almost definitely do.

“If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States they promptly let the individual go.”

-Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh, is allowing ICE to use "being brown" as probable cause for a detention.

"Promptly." Yeah sure.

BREAKING from PP

We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens*

The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied:

Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer

More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

He still thinks his 32 ACT with a 2.1 GPA is going to get him into a 4-year college on an ROTC scholarship, despite both his 1st Sgt and his guidance counselor telling him he *has* to have a 2.5, and the only way to get a 2.5 at this point was to all-A his entire senior year.

Oh well.

CommanderApaul @commanderapaul.com · 4d

New quarter, same problems. He's on medication, we have a 504 plan in place, and he's at vocational school.

Still won't use his planner, do homework, or complete in-class work he didn't finish.

"Everything is turned in I'm just waiting for it to be graded."

Yeah, just like every other quarter.

As tall as a 16oz soda can. Decals took me 3 days to finish.

Every spot of gold is either a decal or a hand-painted molded recess in the model.

I think this is a new size record for decals. I ordered a gold foil set for the Banshee and there are some no shit 1x1mm decals to apply. I'm using a scalpel tip to set them
