I don't know anything about this particular situation, it's purely the headline that's irking me, but if your kids have gone no-contact, maybe they're not the ones who should be feeling guilt or stigma about it.

No one is suggesting the sort of decision Brooklyn made is taken lightly, but support networks and the language of therapy seem to lessen the sting, says Guardian columnist Emma Brockes

Close-to-done WIP of a Yeoman for my #trenchcrusade Prussians. Mostly just the brass buttons on his jacket and pouches to go.

I'm not sure I like the bedroll, though. I wanted to incorporate the same green I used on the Shocktroopers' jackets into the Yeomen, but I don't think it works.

Last of the six #trenchcrusade Prussian Shocktroopers from the two warband boxes I bought.

This one was the biggest conversion, being an amalgamation of Stosstruppen 2's legs, number 3's torso and right arm, and the left arm from trooper 1.

A pair of converted Yeomen for the #trenchcrusade Prussians.

I needed a second rifleman for my planned 700 ducat starter, so I sawed the arms off the rifle body and put them on the shotgun/flamethrower Yeoman.

Pleasingly, the flamethrower then fit on the rifleman's body without much modification.

Couple more #trenchcrusade Prussian Shocktroopers. Light converting on these two to give Mr Cape a submachine gun and replace Helmet's left arm with an axe-wielding one.

when a poor person uses food stamps for a steak or homeless person spends $5 on a beer, it’s seen as proof that all poor people are so bad with money that they shouldn’t be given any, ever, for any reason. $77 billion out the window, and zuck’s legacy as a safe government contract bet is secure.

Cracked into my #trenchcrusade Prussians this evening. Very happy with the kit, easily on the level of GW plastics in terms of detail.

I bought two boxes, since I wanted to build all of the options, which also let me do a quick swap on the Feldkaplan using the spare tank-cutter from my second kit.

If you're a fan of Ann Leckie and/or Arkady Martine (and why wouldn't you be), and/or discussions of empire and imperialism in science fiction, let me point you towards this conversation between the two on that very topic:

Share a TV series you've watched from beginning to end more than once.

Sure, there's only been one season so far, but it still counts.
