friend's character in my flying circus game (tip o' the cap to @opensketchbook.bsky.social ) just made ace so i found this old (like, 1994) fokker d.viii (or kreuzer skorpion, if you like, which is what they fly) 1:48 model and I'm making the player a little trophy ^_^

(so much superglue & putty)

photo of an incomplete Fokker D.8 model, the D.8 being a late world war 1 armed scout aeroplane, not a biplane like you'd think but a high wing monoplane. the fuselage is about as long as your finger, unpainted gray plastic except for the rotary engine which has been painted a dark iron metallic with a skinny copper stripe up each ridgey cylinder.

Still think Antifa isn't violent? Here's bodycam footage of Antifa founder B.J. Blazkowicz shooting a heroic member of ICE who was just trying to protect this great nation. Thank God we have Blazkowicz's girlfriend in custody.

i've picked up a lot of new followers and i want to direct people toward something i'm working on right now that i'm proud of

Team Butterfly Forever is a serialized novel about what happens when magical girls grow up and drift apart.

🦋 Team Butterfly Forever 🦋 Original - Mature - Novel

Ten years ago, the Butterfly Knights saved the world. That was the easy part. A magical girl story. Crossposted to Scribblehub on a (considerably) delay. Also there's a TV Tropes.

consider perhaps… trans robot….

Erika Chappell 🏳️‍⚧️ Stop Asking For STLs @opensketchbook.bsky.social · 1d

the only solution is to add more trans girls to increase the throughput of bad faith per second so you can redirect it to increased robot production

I don’t believe men should wear ballcaps. Ballcaps are for little boys and lesbians who ghost me

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

Honestly, there's is no big lever, or switch that says "you are living in fascism" vs "you are not" - fascists love to PRETEND there is cause it makes their jobs easier, but fascism is just...a series of things that are done. Each bit of fascism has to be done, by people.

Shawn McCullough @shawnmcc.bsky.social · 5d

So I guess the US was also a fascist country when FDR was putting Japanese Americans in internment camps, right?
