Just a weird neurodivergent lefty nerd trying to be a decent human being and make, modify & fix things. What kinda things? More or less anything. Art, models, games, cars, society. You know, things. He/him/his (mostly).

Oh wow, 200 followers! Hi!
I like to make, fix & modify things.
I'm gonna be a posting lot of #Warhammer, #BattlefleetGothic and #Gaslands stuff but I hope you'll come along for the ride when I do my #sculpting, #art and #automotive works too!
Bit of a #Nerdling. LGBTQIA+ safe, far as I can be.

We’re not allowed to be angry; then we’re threatening.
We’re not allowed to be clocky; it means we’re just men.
We’re not allowed to be attractive; then it’s deception.

The post I was replying to was deleted but I figure this is an important point to make regardless, and as good a time as any to make it.
This is why I specifically seek out the perspectives of transgender people, disability activists and black women. We need to build community with those worst off.

Sad fact is a lot of the online "left" is white, male and concerned with class politics only to the point where they get their bag personally (to the point of not even being particularly lowkey about misogygy, transphobia & racism).

So, Jesus said there will always be poor people (Matthew 26:11).
He also said (everywhere!) look after the poor.
The fact that there will always be poor people means Christians will always have an obligation to look after them.
Any other view is a form of Christianity that doesn't follow Christ.

For the people blinking at the back, 'biological sex' isn't a thing. We're a bunch of genetic accidents that mostly but not always coalesce vaguely around some kind of functionally fertile guess at how to get the next generation started.

Been trying to think of a thing to say today, to mark #TransDayOfRemembrance.
It's hard to communicate what I want to say on a platform like this. There's too much.
Anyway, this thread is cool & says a lot of the things I like to think I'd have thought of if my brain wasn't fogged up.

It's #TransDayOfRemembrance and despite not knowing that at the start of the week I still sent a 600 word email to Private Eye to moan about the TERFy bias in a recent article.
I got an 11 word reply. (Slightly more than i got for a similar email I sent in 2019)

This is a seriously cool opportunity to paint a historic piece. If the modelling repair daunts you, talk to me; I'm interested in helping with that.
Also I can't emphasise enough how much sharing posts from @prideonparade.bsky.social helps and I want to encourage you to look at the minis available.

Another classic #OldHammer mini from our library!
This classic 1987 (I think?) Heinrich Kimmler, courtesy of @brickie78.bsky.social, is a fantastic opportunity to paint a real piece of #Warhammer history! The end of his staff is missing, which could be a fun challenge for an aspiring modeller.

Just to put it out there... when right-wing politicians are fighting amongst themselves, you don't have to pick a side.
The best case scenario is it disorganises the movement enough that they can't hurt people as easily, not that one of them "wins".

Th world would be an immeasurably better place if hoarding wealth made you sick & eventually killed you.
Like, if your net worth goes over a million you have a constant cold, ten million and your bones hurt, a hundred million and you're bedridden in an iron lung; a billion is instantly fatal.

"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

You can have your Golden Demon winners as far as I'm concerned, this is the kind of model painting that gets me going: done with love, meaning and personal enthusiasm rather than as a purely technical exercise.
I love it :)
