31, Here I remain. I paint Warhammer and write in my spare time. Birds are pretty great.

Picked up this wonderfully designed character Ka’estraxx by @cardinalgray.bsky.social , an Ukrainian artist who could really use some help. Check out what they have available! Ka’estraxx has already fired my imagination, so many fun ideas.

Remember this as a bipartisan coalition of folks in Congress tell us over and over again that they're trying to protect children online. Meanwhile the US embassy is saying even kids can't have private social media accounts if they want to visit the US.
One under-appreciated part of this: note the bit below about “and their dependents.”
Under the Trump admin’s new policy, dependent children of visa applicants are not allowed to have their social media set to private during the entire visa process. They MUST make their social media public.

There’s one guy in Northfield that’s gonna be flying the Trump flag from now until eternity though.
But if you drive up over the mountain towards Erving and take a left into the woods, you come into the territory of the Wood Lesbians. He’s surrounded.

I’ve also noticed that for the last 8 months or so, there’s been basically zero MAGA flags on our usual drive from Boston to my partner’s family’s place in Vermont - we’d usually see at least a few.

Important distinction between guilt and shame, too. Guilt is "you should know better". Shame is "why would you even think that?"

I remember being loud & attention-drawing when this guy was beating his GF at a bus stop in broad daylight. Drew the attention of the whole street, kept asking him what she possibly did to warrant that response, got her to GTFO. Let him throw the first punch, asked if he felt like a big man. He ran.
you can very often terrify people trying to break social norms at you by returning the favor even more so
Yes! People who pride themselves on being shameless norm-breakers often depend the most on norms… or, on all the other people nearby being too stunned or norm-compliant to resist.
You have to be as defiant and brazen as they are, but in defense of decency. You can be pleasant but you don’t budge.

Also not to mention that the goal posts have shifted from "the Republicans will never allow a vote" to "the Republicans didn't vote with the Democrats" without acknowledging that we're doing this again in February.

losing half your support on one of your strongest issues after 11 months of doing everything exactly the way you want to do it would give most politicians something to think about, but miller's calling these shots and he's not a politician
New AP poll has Trump's approval on immigration down to an abysmal 38% as he rants psychotically about "shithole countries," smears Somalis, threatens large-scale denaturalization and remigration, and openly pines for more white immigrants and fewer nonwhite ones

A priest, a firefighter and a professor walk into a bar. They spot a queue near the bar & get in line. They look in shock as a barkeep hits a cop, a lawyer and so on.
"Excuse me, isn't this the line for a drink?" asks the priest.
A horse in front of them replies, "Neigh, you're in the punch line."
