Apparently today is #unhingedpit and I'm coming a little late to the game, but I had fun making these. I've got character theme songs, an AITA pitch, and the comps I *wish* I could use while querying 😅 (and for those who want a whole metalhead romantasy playlist, I got you) #a #q #f #romantasy

As the daughter of the wealthiest khan in the north, Aylin knew she could never be a real apothecary. She earned her degree anyway. Now she’s a licensed chemist, engaged to a widowed khan...and in love with his children’s caretaker. Steeped in Turkic Mythology and folklore. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF

Exactly this. As a veteran who studied international relations and deployed twice, exactly this.

The founders never intended for the commander-in-chief to micromanage recruitment/ retention/ readiness issues, so the WH is NOT owed deference in this. What POTUS is supposed to do as CIC is direct the strategic protection of the nation, the thing at which Trump is failing most egregiously.

The DEI caused the plane crash narrative is a distraction. The tariffs are a distraction. Whatever insane nonsense Trump spews that the media will chase like cats chasing a laser light is a distraction. The only story that counts right now is the wholesale hijacking of control of the US government.

A bit late, but words come when they will: Blessed Brigid, Lady of Fire, Forge in me the strength to be a light in this time of shadows.

Trump is considering executive action to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education

Trump issued a memorandum invalidating government labor contracts finalized in the 30 days before his presidential inauguration. This action is not legal and will not hold up in court.

To my sisters still serving in the US military, now subject to the worst possible SecDef: I am so, so sorry. I will continue to be loud on your behalf. To my sisters considering joining: Maybe don’t. It’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better again.

In other words, a whopping three Republican senators have spines. Thank you to Murkowski, Collins, & McConnell for doing the right thing in the face of overwhelming party pressure.

Mitch McConnell joins Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins in voting against Pete Hegseth

Gonna pull a quote (completely out of context) from Oderus of GWAR, because I can think of no better description of the current administration and it is bringing me a measure of joy amid all the miserable absurdity: “Confused and poorly conceived spectacle of mediocrity.”

I find it interesting that this sudden surge for "masculine energy" is coming from Nerd Kings who seem to be acting out a teenage fantasy now they're rich.

I’ve had the same thoughts. As an elder millennial I’ve never had a TikTok and don’t quite *get it* but banning it at the federal level seems like a whole lot of effort for not a lot of payoff. We have bigger fish to fry.

Just Jack@just-jack-1.bsky.social · 2y ago

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Treat artists like humans. If you're commissioning artists, communicate with them about your expectations and questions. Keep in mind that one month is a FAST turnaround with how much work artists do outside of drawing the art, and the lives and struggles we have outside of our jobs.

I’m considering titling my dissertation, which is about the legacy of ancient Scythian warrior women in medieval literature & folklore, “Fight Me, Hegseth.” Women have always, ALWAYS been on the battlefield, as casualties and combatants. And we always will be. May as well let us have a weapon.

Ok can we just acknowledge the absolute absurdity of the US president elect talking about invading Greenland? Like once, ok, sure, he’s a clown but…buckling down on the idea of actually deploying the military to do it? Wtf HOW DID THIS IDIOT WIN

Everything stated in this post is a provable fact. You are entitled to your own opinion. You are not entitled to your own facts. Looking at YOU, 2020 election-deniers.

Pretty soon the only users on X will be Russian bots and die hard Elon fans who are obviously Elon.

The Russians have shot down another commercial airliner, Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8432, killing 38 passengers on board. The Russians also launched a massive missile and drone attack on Christmas day to maximize the level of suffering for Ukrainian civilians on Christmas. youtu.be/V0thKAhdWh8?...

Russia Shot Down a Passenger Airliner... Again...

Browsing the news this morning, shocked to discover DJT and I actually agree on something: daylight savings time is irrelevant for our present civilization and, in short, sucks. Who’d’ve thought he actually had a reasonable idea? Huh.

If Hegseth gets confirmed as Sec Def I’m gonna riot. Ok, so not literally riot because how does one even start a riot? but I am definitely gonna burn something. Ok, so just candles. But like…really angry candles. With hexes. Except I don’t do hexes. …time to write more angry song lyrics, I guess.

Picture 1 is what it looked like when Ukraine liberated the city of Kherson from the Russians. Picture 2 is what it looked like when Russia "liberated" the city of Bakhmut from the Ukrainians. It is subtle, but see if you can spot the difference.

For my inaugural post (no pressure, right?), how about a selfie from when I got to see none other than Iron Maiden with the fam? 🤘 #metalhead
