The guy is a hero for stepping in, but America is fucking broken.
Adkinson's employer, a small construction company, does not offer health insurance and he makes too much to be eligible for Medicaid or other welfare programs. He was forced to take medical leave, despite not receiving sick pay.

Oooh, I made something of a similar model from scratch last year out of small wooden beads and stuff!
A miniature figure of a demon that looks like a ball of eyes, labelled Blinky.

Managed to get my hands on this last week. 😁 Sadly not done anything with it yet, but I'm really keen to have a crack at the Dominator Engine. Hoping to get it looking like a Fel Reaver, just because.

A picture of the Helsmiths of Hashut Army Box, lying on top of a cardboard box. The Army Box has images of the Helsmiths of Hashut on it - angry dwarves with angular weapons and armour and machines. Screenshots from the "Warhammer Big Summer Preview" of the Dominator Engine. A large mini of a humanoid automata with the head of a bull. In one picture it wields two green-flaming maces. In another its arms are massive cannons. A screenshot from the game World of Warcraft of a Fel Reaver - an immense mechanical war engine, powered by fel magic that has a green glowing chest plate, and huge piston powered fists.

Seeing and hearing @zackpolanski.bsky.social and other Green members speak has finally given me a push in this direction... First time ever signing up for a political party.

It's my birthday and amongst other things I got 5 pairs of socks. Two of each of the capybara ones and then... Well, see the pictures. 😁
A blue such with a capybara on it. It looks like the capybara is swimming in the blue water off the sock. The capybara has an orange fruit on its head and there are other fruits floating by too. Two unopened pairs of socks. The one on the left has a night scene on them, with fire trees under a bright yellow full moon. The moon has "Dragons and Wizards and Shit" written on it. The second pair has two capybara looking like they're kissing on it, with a heart border above and below then. There are birds perching on both capybara's backs.

Bought myself a little treat yesterday. Two out of print #Warhammer #Underworld boxes. 😁 I love indie game shops, you're most likely to find the weird, obscure and old stuff there. I could have spent HUNDREDS in there quite easily.

#MiniaturePainting #Wargaming #WarhammerUnderworld
Two boxes on a white bedsheet. One is the Warhammer Underworld Nethermaze - Hexbane's Hunters box, and the other is the Gnarlwood - Grinkrak's Looncourt box. There's a red mochi wrapper just above the second box.

I think "No Square Enix" would have been truly hardmode. >.>
The box art for the game Chrono Trigger, for the Super Nintendo. This is the North American version of the box art and has Chrono, Marle and Frog performing a triple tech on a monster that looks like Heckran. The splash/logo for the Shadowbringers expansion for Final Fantasy 14. Box art for the Final Fantasy 7 Remake, showing Cloud, from behind, with his buster sword being held behind him, with Midgar looming up in the distance. Box art for Doom Eternal - the Doom Slayer is in the centre of the art - ripping and tearing through the denizens of hell.

While there is probably a bunch more I could do with this, I think I'm going to call it done. 🙂 Gourmet from #ArchonStudios.

A shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, and it's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders with a skull over its sternum. Its right arm is red and has numerous eyes up it to the shoulder. It is wearing just a pair of brown trousers that covers to the knee, while a rope belt has 4 skulls hanging from it. It has a green cloth over the left side of its face, and its mouth is covered in blood. The base is painted to look like dead and cracked earth, with bleached bones in a pile. A second shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature from a different angle. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, and it's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders with a skull over its sternum.

A shot of a large, monstrous, ogre-like miniature from the back. It is carrying a large blade in its left gauntleted fist, which has a red grip. It's wearing a spiked gorget on its shoulders which looks like it is affixed to its back with metal. There is a large growth on its right shoulder that is darker than the rest of its skin, like a birth mark. Its right arm is red and has numerous eyes up it to the shoulder. It is wearing just a pair of brown trousers that covers to the knee, while a rope belt has numerous bones hanging from it. The base is painted to look like dead and cracked earth, with a bleached skeleton having narrowly missed being trampled. Where the creature is standing, the pale earth is scorched.

My purchases. The little plastic bag minis and axolotl were free, the patches are for a friend. :D
I also bought two bags of dice for my neighbour/dogsitter.
A picture of a bunch of purchases from UK Games Expo. It consists of a larger mostly blue box, on which is written Warhammer - The Old World | Kingdom of Bretonnia, Men at Arms. Underneath is a smaller mostly cream coloured box with DEAD ANIMAL BITS written on a strip of brown background. This box has pictures of various plastic bits of dead animal on them. On top of the Men at Arms box is four small bags with OnePageRules Saurian models in them - Aztec-esque lizardmen. There's also a purple/yellow/green 3d printed axolotl, and two black patches, with strange arcane symbols on them.

No, the view that actively harms and tries to eradicate a minority is wrong. Morally, ethically and socially wrong.
Because that is what she is trying to do. That is what people buying Harry Potter tat are doing - actively funding someone trying to eradicate trans people in the UK.

Wrote a 6-sided long letter today as part of a LARP in character penpal exchange thing. My hand aches now, not done this much writing by hand for ages.
Always fun to backstory exposition at a character you've never met IC. 😅
A stack of three sheets of paper, with a handwritten letter for live action roleplay. The first section is in French and begins "Bonjour, Mother Mien'Harel Sheadahl." There is a line halfway down the page and after the line the writing is in English.

Huh. Wasn't really expecting that.
Your Result: Love You create from love. It is an overflowing love that seeps out of your heart and into all you create. You couldn't possibly contain it inside yourself, and so you dedicate yourself to depicting it through everything you make. Your art is a celebration of what you cherish most, a loving tribute to everything that captivates you. There are things too wonderful to be appreciated in silence, and so you sing of your love time and time again. You are determined not to let your vast love go unnoticed or forgotten. That's why your work is a declaration of affection, an expression of fondness for everything that makes your life worth living.

Here's the footprints on my cutting mat, which I'm pretty sure is in cm.

🙂
A half assembled "Watchtower of the Empire" building on a green cutting mat. It's placed on the centimeter measure along the edges and measures about 8cm by 9cm. The tower looks like it's held together with masking tape.

Rough, but I think this'll be the setup. It won't be fixed to the base, so the ground floor will be accessible, the second floor and roof are separate too. I get the feeling it'll be fiddly as heck though. 😅

I did a bunch of gribbly monsters for a Nurgle Warcry warband at the end of last year. 🙂
A miniature of an angry looking fleshy blob with 2 legs and many teeth. It's labelled Pus Chewal. A mini of a gross, disgusting, diseased head. It's on a 32mm base and has "Chuck D" on the rim. The head has one puffy eye and one blind eye, it has tentacles where the neck would be and various pustules and lumps across its forehead. Out of its eyes and bloodied mouth leaks a yellow pus-like liquid. It's very Nurgle-y. A miniature of a gross green blob with claws, tentacles and faces with one large eye on top. Labelled Goobert.

Saw that @dungeondad.bsky.social 's new video is on the Crawling Head, which was the inspiration for this guy when I was building my #Warcry warband. 😁
Sadly, I can't use it in D&D because my world has no undead!
Unless I restat it to be a demon... 🤔

My cat, every time. 😫 Silly little baby.

Pictures for cat tax.
A precious Calico cat called Bramble from the side. She's got her eyes closed as she sits on a brown sofa. She's got a white fluffy nose, chin and chest and lighter brown cheeks and forehead with black fur running through the brown. A precious Calico cat called Bramble from the side. She's lying on her back, looking towards the camera with one eye open and the other half open. You can see her white, fluffy tummy and she has three paws sticking up in the air. The fourth, her front left paw, is bent slightly.

I guess the alternative is just above the bottom brick line, which WOULD open up the basement a bit more, and make it easier to access...

A single piece of the base of the tower. It is on a paint-stained green cutting mat. All pieces of the tower are in plain grey plastic. It has a black line drawn on it just above the bottom brick line and another just above the door stop.

I think the bottom red line would be the cut to be able to put in the first floor. But the problem is my rotary tool would likely chew it up and my saw would take forever. Plus I'd probably make a mess of it especially as it cuts through a bunch of external detail.
Thoughts?
#warhammerterrain
A version of the second picture from the previous post. Two pieces of a terrain piece for wargaming bluetacked together. It is the base and the second floor on top of it. This time it has had two red lines drawn on it, one at the height of the top of the stairs and the other at the top of the base piece.

Decisions, decisions. Here's the tower bluetacked together and now I've gotta figure it how to go about this. If I'm making it fully playable it needs the basement, the first floor, the second floor and then the roof and it's going to involve a lot of cutting... And it's a £40 set.

A snippet I wrote recently of combat between a group of Spellknights from the Mageocracy of Kirinor and the cultists of a dead land known as Verlassen.
#Januwrite 3
#Januwrite Hosted by @VeloraVenn.bksy.social Fri, 3 Share a favorite line or paragraph you've written recently. He started to run, his boots creating small bright discs of golden light several inches above the floor to avoid standing on the ashen, lifeless dirt, propelling him forward much quicker than he could run under his own speed. Part of the conflict drew close - where an outnumbered and beleaguered squad of Spellknights of Kirinor battled cultists of the wastes - and the light of his staff took on a bright green hue, matching the jade colour of his robes. "**Genesis flame!**" he intoned, casting the light from his staff above the amassed block of waste cultists. The creatures were the lowest of creatures, twisted and malevolent humanoids, covered in crude furs and leathers that knew only the basest of desires. Their existence in the Wastes was a mystery, but for every one cut down, there were three to take its place in the deadlands. The mote of light flew into the air, expanding into lines from each of the cardinal points, expanding 15 feet before spinning and creating a disk of green light in the air. With a motion of his staff, the disk flew down to the floor, surrounding a group of the creatures before bursting upwards with brilliant jade flames. There was no time for noise as they were consumed by the eruption, leaving naught but their weapons and a patch of grass and life in the ashen ground of the wastes. The patch of life didn't last long, and whatever had long consumed all life from the Wastes took the small patch of magical life for its own - grass and flowers withering to dust in seconds. The spell was enough to turn the tide though - distracted by the vaporisation of some of their allies, and a renewed assault from the Spellknights - this group of cultists fell back, staring and cursing at the wizard in fear, even as he looped the gem on his staff above his head again, this time the gem filling with an azure glow.
