Four images of someone putting on clown makeup. Text says:

I'm going to play Morrowind

I swear I won't play a dunmer this time

There's a lot of fun builds out there

(With dunmer face) This time will be different I swear

#Cosplay lineup for #LisboaGamesWeek next month: the Flamecraft Witch and Fade. Still working out how to make little holsters for the four dragons I currently have for the game so that I can bring em with.

In Discworld, cities thrive because they welcome dwarfs, trolls, vampires, and humans alike. Ankh-Morpork works because everyone belongs. Funny how fiction can seem more humane than policy sometimes.

Absolutely. I actually make a point of keeping my partner (who's a politically active native) informed about the BS happening, mostly so that he can share it around. We've talked occasionally about maybe having me do a short speech about the situation too, to his groups. Maybe next year.

Honestly though, I mostly wish the news here would cover the horrors that ICE is committing. The latest news from Chicago, for instance, or the video of the delivery biker getting chased. It would probably help pull the rose glasses off for a lot of people.

Oh gods yeah that's so hard to convince. I've had a devil of a time explaining to Indian or Angolan/Cabo-verdiano folks that they really, really do not want to experience being working class in the US. Usually uber drivers.

From talking to the people who say this here in Portugal, a lot of it is that they really, really don't understand how bad things are in the US now. They still see the "American Dream" from movies and TV. And many of the POC that say it have _zero_ idea how bad it's always been.

A photo of a cat in a little superhero costume with the caption, "If you're feeling depressed or overwhelmed today, I just want you to know that David Dastmalchian adopted a stray cat that approached him during the Suicide Squad shoot in Panama. Then the costume designer made her a little Polka dot Man suit."

no #gymposting for most of this past week since I caught a cold or something. After last year's run-in with pneumonia, I'm not risking anything with my health if I can help it. Will hopefully be fully back on sched next week.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

Seth Cotlar @sethcotlar.bsky.social · Aug 1

The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

Can We Spot It?
(Question: How can we identify native American fascists at work? )
An American fascist seeking power would not proclaim that he is a fascist. Fascism always camouflages its plans and purposes. Hitler made demagogic appeals to all groups and swore: "Neither I nor anybody in the National Socialist Party advocates proceeding by anything but Constitutional methods." Any fascist attempt to gain power in America would not use the exact Hitler pattern. It would work under the guise of "super-patriotism" and "super-American-ism." Fascist leaders are neither stupid nor naive.
They know that they must hand out a line that "sells." Huey Long is said to have remarked that if fascism came to America, it would be on a program of "Ameri-canism."
Fascists in America may differ slightly from fascists in other countries, but there are a number of attitudes and practices that they have in common. Following are three. Every person who has one of them is not necessarily a fascist. But he is
