A Husky (she) and a human (he) (who translates her sass) (Parenthetical asides = human) If you're wondering about our politics, let's sum it up: NONE OF US ARE FREE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE FREE (99% of Huskies are anarchists; about 50% of their humans are)

Objectively, making me agree with both Tucker Carlson & Karl Rove in a single day isn't even in the "fifty worst things Trump has done" list, as far as actual damage to society/culture/the planet.

But as far as how icky it makes me feel, it's up there.

It's way fucking up there.

(That's the laziest weasel fight I've seen in years!

I love it!)

Mina the Husky (and her human) @agburanar.bsky.social · 1d

Bold of you to assume I have any insecurities!

Behold, human, I am the peak of canine form! I fear nothing!

(Hides under couch after a distant roll of thunder)

Mina, the Husky, looking especially majestic in front of a... tennis net? I think?

tbh I don't even remember what it was

( I feel conflicted even recommending this, but my SO at the time made me watch "Ferrets: The Pursuit of Excellence" to get a 'proper grounding' on other weasel owners.

Years later, and I still can't tell if they were negging me or preparing me for the horrors still to come.)

(So when I got out, I kept doing that.

I don't build bombs. Or bomb sights, fuzes, INS guidance packages, or even flight control systems for bombers.

I just do engines!

but the tiny anarchist I live with looks at me, goes "Awoo?"...

and I think she's saying "engines for what, human?")

Mina the Husky (and her human) @agburanar.bsky.social · 1d

(I have a conflict of interest in this one.

Since I served in uniform, and used the GI Bill to get a Real Boy Job, I've worked in various facets of the aviation industry.

Uncle Sam taught me to do security, and work on engines.

(Everybody in the CG multi-tasks, it's the ADHD of services.)

(Hey, I'm... well, more than 2 but less than 10 years above that, so... I'm slightly outside the 3rd standard deviation, I guess.)

Mina the Husky (and her human) @agburanar.bsky.social · 1d

(The part of me that got paid by Uncle Sam to take ATFP (Anti-Terrorism Force Protection) courses always looks at oil rigs as "very large attack surfaces".

Especially as people become more and more... unhappy... about the direction things are going, vis a vis the 0.01% getting a bigger slice.)

(It makes me wish I was still Catholic, because then at least I could comfort myself thinking there was a special place in Hell reserved for them, and some devils already dreaming up poetically appropriate justice.)

(I guess I sort of got a tattoo of a Nazi... but it was a comic book one... and he was getting his a** beat by Captain America.

Despite everything, I still like Steve Rogers & Sam Wilson, because they're what this country is supposed to be.

If only we could rid of the damned Nazis.)

A tattoo of Captain America (Steve Rogers version, in the 1943 uniform) knocking out Red Skull (almost in his 1943 uniform... no red armband, as the artist told me "even if they're getting their ass beat I don't think I feel comfortable inking a swastika")

My feelings about my military service are complicated and ever evolving, but one thing that I’m certain of is that my experience of war, of doing violence and having violence done to me, all for no reason whatsoever in the end, has left me with an almost crippling empathy for my fellow human beings.

Bernie's implication that a veteran is just expected and allowed to be awash with toxic masculinity had me thinking today about the time I read @lorencrowe.bsky.social (one of the gayer men [laudatory] I'm aware of)'s jaw-dropping Silver Star citation.

(There were other reasons I got out, yeah.

But I realized I spent my time:

10% actually helping people

75% slightly increasing the street cost of Bolivian Marching Powder

15% making life even worse for the Haitians

That made me feel not so great about my life choices)

(In... 2006, I think it was, he got me a book about Prohibition.

I was reading the section about the USCG's involvement in stopping rum-runners off Florida.

While I was sitting in the helo hangar.

Off the Bahamas.

As our helo was out looking for some cocaine.

Ok... looking for a LOT of cocaine)

A human with their face obscured, holding a sign that says "Merry Christmas! 2006" in front of very large pile of nose candy.

Behind the Bolivian Marching Powder is a USCG helicopter (the frame number is also obscured because one can never be too careful).

(The day it really hit for me was a bit on-the-nose.

So my dad and I had gotten into the habit of buying each other what I'd call "niche history" books for Christmas.

Like, one year I got him a book about the Springfield Armory; one year (before the musical!) he got me a book about Hamilton.)

(Post 9/11, I had a family member who warned me "if you have to enlist, get on a ship".

And the USN recruiter in Raleigh was an ass, so I ended up in the USCG.

So I was involved in both the drug war and immigration enforcement...

And now I'm pro-open borders and pro-legalize everything.

🤔)

(Once I apparently tried to convince a friend to give me a tattoo of "Richard Spencer getting punched in the face", but he refused because:

a.) I was drunk
b.) it would have been a hideous tattoo

Advocating for punching Nazis in the face probably makes me unelectable due to the number of Nazis.)

fun thing: he wasn’t on vacation

(Just to clarify before I start sending the campaign checks; you don't have any flavor of pro-genocide tattoo, right?)

(Any commercial more than 1 db louder than the actual video should be punished by something probably not lethal but extremely unpleasant.

Getting a sunburn over their entire body, or being covered in cod oil and tossed into a pit of ferrets.)

(I would also like to submit Trogdor for consideration into the canon)

Trogdor, the Burninator, now in small shoulder tattoo form.

(Looking at my profile now, I realize that 2 things on there are in-jokes I made over a decade ago, between myself and a couple of now deceased friends. 😬

There really ain't no cavalry coming.)

(I prefer the time-honored method of super steroids and punching.

Er, I mean, super soldier serum and punching.

Six of one, half dozen of the other.)

A tattoo of Captain America punching Red Skull

They are both in their WWII era costumes, although understandably Red Skull has no visible swastika cause, like, even with it being on a comic book character getting knocked out, swastikas as part of a tattoo are no bueno.

Zombie story where the main character has a husky, the entire time he's begging the husky to be quiet and the husky is like I SHALL SING THEM A SONG OF MY PEOPLE

Hey, that's discrimination, it's not like we all sing all the time.

I only do it when I'm bored. Or hungry. Or feel like my human is moving too slow...

Earlier, my human took far too long to get ready for the day's 2nd walk. I protested.

(Exactly.

It's disappointing when people who we (or at least me) have turned into heroes/heroines show they also have failings.

But there's nothing to do but continue on.

The only other option is... quitting everything.

And I'm not there yet. )
