My Special Hobby AH-1 Tzefa has made its first major trip into the paint booth, its turned out quite well. I changed up my post-shading for the fuselage, which I did after the stub wings, so those will need some touch up work.

So, naval blockades of nearby rich but militarily weak countries by local hegemonic powers are very cool and very legal now, are they?

This was recently posted through China's government, this may give you a warm fuzzy feeling.

It's always the most obsessed anti trans people who get caught with CSAM.
1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care.

A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn.

The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased.

Our latest wild story.

Last week Dr. Ryan McDonough was arrested on ten counts of possession of child sexual abuse material. Over the weekend, his family home went up in flames.

Needs a few touch ups and a final wash but the Skyraider is otherwise finished.

The way this is being reported is extremely irresponsible.

There is a hole in the containment structure, about 10 feet across. No other damage is reported. That hole can allow some of the dusty radioactive material to escape.

That is what "can no longer do its job of containment" means.

This Trans Day of Remembrance, my heart hurts thinking of all the people we couldn't carry through to the other side of this moment in history.

Amidst all the fighting we've done for our community, amidst the unshakeable belief that we will win in the end, grief still takes hold.

Today is an absolute rebuke of anti-transgender politics, and a real sign that the anti-trans panic is fading.

From VA Gov to Loudoun County to New Jersey to New York City and Pennsylvania, anti-trans Republicans are falling left and right.
Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.

If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.

Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

As you know I paint freehands on cloaks of my miniatures from time to time, and I started doing that many years ago. This is for example a freehand that I painted on the cloak of Torquemada Coteaz back in 2015 so quite a while ago 🙂 #warhammer #warhammercommunity #warhammer40000 #acrylicpainting

1. 4 months ago, The Supreme Court gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education in schools.

Now, in Montgomery County, Maryland, where the case originated, the results are in.

Only 43 families out of 160,000 students have exercised that new right.

Scenario.

U.S. war of choice in Venezuela gets bogged down, strikes become limited invasion, become forever counter insurgency war….

U.S. less able to come to Taiwan’s aid (which is questionable anyway)… China wins big

How many people in USA care about Venezuela?!?!

1. A day after the Michigan church shooting, Republicans are silent after learning the shooter was a MAGA extremist.

No investigations of Trump supporters as terrorists. No national conversations about the rights of cisgender men.

The silence is deafening.
