Hi all my new followers, it’s been a crazy week
I imagine most of you know me from the ‘other place’
But if not I’m Kara, and I typically post about Star Trek and other fun nerdy stuff
I also make costumes and props and I’m part of a Ghostbusters group that raises money for children’s hospitals

Picture collage of Kara as Supergirl, also in a Ghostbusters jumpsuit and Proton pack standing in front of the ECTO-1, and as Starbuck from Battlestar Galactica. Also has pictures of props she made, some Star Trek PADDs and isolinear rods in multiple colors

Hey, you. You're finally awake...
I sold a Skyrim carve within the 1st hour of the 1st day of the Renfaire this year. However, after employing my "hydra head" method of inventory management, the two carvings did not sell.

So now they're available: ko-fi.com/builtbybittl...

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Do you really have any rights if they are openly saying they will just make up reasons to detain you?

thematthill.bsky.social @thematthill.bsky.social · 3d

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.
