thou hast done well in defeating the red slime they/them

it's genuinely evil for a newspaper to take a local argument about a struggling small town business and hold it up for national ridicule and red meat for bigots it is, tangentially, also kinda sad to admit the best numbers your newspaper has done in a decade were for a mediocre Bar Rescue episode

for some reason I always envisioned "the city" in welcome to the black parade to be chicago. I guess it's probably supposed to be new york since mcr are from new jersey, but it is chicago to me

talking about ADHD online is impossible because on one side you have people who think that ADHD is fake and on the other side you have people who think that their self-diagnosed ADHD entitles them to be unapologetically selfish at all times

discovered tonight that I can paint two einhyr hearthguard in the same amount of time it takes to paint one of any other infantry model and gained a real understanding of why space marines and necrons are two of the most popular armies for beginners

I started reading the leagues of votann 40k novel (the high kâhl's oath) and it's really funny how often it calls out specific pieces of wargear by the name they have on unit datasheets. it's all like "she heard the sound of the HYLas Rotary Cannon™"

every football season I'm like "why the fuck does louisville media cover the colts instead of the bengals when cincinnati is closer than indianapolis" and then I remember that indiana is literally right on the other side of the river

also bears mentioning that it doesn't matter much to these guys that polling shows this isn't a pressing issue for voters. it's not really *for* voters. "demonstrating seriousness" is an impulse aimed at impressing the political press, and transphobia is maybe the #1 journalist-led cause out there

I'm not going to make any blanket statements about generational cohorts or The Youth, but this discourse about appropriate behavior during job interviews is revealing that a lot of people believe that they have a fundamental right to do whatever they want whenever they want with zero consequences

how it feels watching space marine players talk about their new codex knowing that leagues of votann are probably going to be one of the last factions to get an 11th ed. codex because our 10th ed. codex just came out last year

painting miniatures is a process of agonizing over tiny flaws that are completely imperceptible as soon as you aren't holding the mini 4 inches from your face under a very bright light

a few months ago I asked mara if she wanted to go see gorillaz with me and she said yes. last week I learned that she knows nothing about gorillaz get you a girl who will spend a weekend flying to another city to see a band she thinks she has never heard before
