I'm calling the Academy AH-1W finished, I had an absolute blast, especially with the skip eyelets/rotor tie downs and going all in on Abt 502 oils. Its been a while since they were a major part of my weathering, but its starting to work its way back in. #HistScaleModels #scalemodel #buildthestash

And in some more extremely autistic behavior I now present you with: “HOW TO MAKE A PHONE CALL” (A helpful flowchart.)

COMING JULY 30th!! We've immortalized everyone's favorite tiny raccoon as a miniature, capturing all the charm, chub, and snack-stealing energy that made him a viral sensation.  Find him at Gen Con over at Booth 157 or online @ MonsterFightClub.com! https://bit.ly/Shop_MFC  #Jimothy #scalemodel

The ONLY study to EVER allege a connection was found w/falsified data & the lead scientist stood to make like $48 million off of fraudulent "autism testing kits" or some bullshit-- The Trump admin's evil knows no end. Spreading fatal diseases, stigma + lies.

CDC has updated its vaccine safety pages. Now says: "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism." Whoa #EpiSky #pediatrics #NeuroSky #PsychSky

"buried with a powerful arsenal of weapons . . . which archaeologists have continued to dismiss as "purely symbolic" But. . . "evidence the princesses knew how to use them, based on the state of the muscle attachments on their bones, and the signs of injuries" www.sciencealert.com/ancient-egyp...

Bones of Ancient Egyptian Princesses Reveal They Were Kind of Badass

Ancient Egyptian princesses actually knew how to use the weapons they were buried with, according to a new study published in Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology.

And with a quick wipe down of the bench, the Kinetic 1/48 F-5B is done and in the display case. It was a decent build, and served as a base for a dive into oil's (which I haven't seriously used in a while). #HistScaleModels #scalemodel #buildthestash

I've gotten the decals and weathering sorted and done on the 1/48 F-5B, and started the weathering on the 1/35 Academy Whiskey Cobra; which still needs oils done. Next up for the F-5B is the undercarriage. #HistScaleModels #modelkits #buildthestash #scalemodel

1. I have fully read and reported on the SCOTUS anti-trans BPJ ruling today. The decision is very bad, though not as bad as the worst case scenarios. It will still likely lead to mass discrimination in both red and blue states against trans people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The ruling will likely give the Trump administration more ammunition to go after colleges and schools across the country.

I got my Kinetic 1/48 F-5B in and out of the paint booth for the first round of painting, there are a couple spots that need to be redone but I'm loving the post shading. #scalemodel #HistScaleModels #buildthestash #miniatures

Had to make some queer versions for pride

Was struggling through a mechwarror mission when this came to mind

CNN: The last time the SPR had less oil than today was July 1983, when the Reagan administration was filling the reserve for the first time and when the United States had a smaller economy.

Made a start on the decals for the AH-1W and got the Kitty Hawk Twin Huey's cabin together. #HistScaleModels #Buildthestash #Scalemodels

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

This is how the New York Times is now choosing to celebrate the kick off pride month. Fuckin cunts.

Isradecal's T-6 Texan II is off the bench with a small tarmac vignette due to it turning into a tail sitter 🙃🫠🙃 #scalemodels #histscalemodels #buildthestash

This is nothing short of a bombshell. One of the most trusted media groups in Indonesia has released a report on Russian and Chinese influence operations in Indonesian social media, which blamed local protests on deliberate U.S. meddling. 🧵 1/

YOU’RE LISTENING TO SISYPHUS FM, THE HOME OF NON-STOP ROCK

At least you have a chance when your left of center party is willing to fight for your rights. When they come back into power. But when both parties abandon you, you’ve lost for a generation.

"That's what happens when you elect Nigel Farage fans..." @mrjamesob.bsky.social reacts to two new Reform councillors admitting they don't know what they're doing.

I don't think most people have even tried to grasp how it feels for trans people to be segregated, hunted, betrayed by allies, met with silence and neutrality by friends & family, and then wake up every single day to see articles and polls asking if there's a Centrist Solution to the Trans Problem.

A bit of a read, but worth it.

Finally managed to get some paint onto my T-6, a couple touch spots need some TLC but it should be going in for clear coat and decals here soon. #histscalemodels #scalemodel #buildthestash

Hey guys... all done. 😁 #histscalemodels

1. Last week, we reported on an anti-trans conversion therapy panel that was snuck onto the PAS conference, a premier academic pediatric conference. It appears the event was a major flop, with heavy protests and a half empty room. Read the full story here. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trans Youth And Doctors Joined Forces In Protest Of An Anti-Trans Panel At Pediatric Conference

Nearly 100,000 emails condemning the event were sent through a group of young trans organizers—and that was just the beginning.

My T-38 Talon sporting the Gray Greens tri-colour scheme. Still lots to do, but now I can see how it’s going to look 👀 when completed #ModelAircraft #HistScaleModels

Finally got the paint on and the masks off for my Academy AH-1W. #scalemodel #modelkits #histscalemodels

So, the last 24-30 hours (open source): F-15E lost, 1 pilot rescued 2x HH-60W damaged A-10 damaged by Iran, crashes, pilot reported ok F-16 Squawk 7700, Iraq. Landed safely. MQ-9 shot down, Shiraz. +1 possible shot down MQ-9. 2x KC-135 Squawk 7700, Israel. Will come back to this if/when more info.

I'm really starting to fall in love with the green/grey/black AH-1W Cobra paint scheme 😍😀😍 #scalemodel #histscalemodels
