I told my husband where I was in the Eisenhorn omnibus last night and he goes "Okay, you need to draw something," and then described this picture to me. And thus I did. 🎨 #WH40k #Warhammer40k #WarhammerCommunity

I did it. I made a backside. B/c I’m going to get an acrylic charm (or maybe a standee instead) of him made for me. And maybe a few more. Depending on how much it will be. Just a wee little Cherubael with his booty cheeks hanging out. 🎨

Stayed up way too late last night to finish Ravenor Rogue and by the Emperor I want to make a copium fan comic so I can bring Thonius back. Anyway, time to read all the short stories in The Magos omnibus and then read The Magos. Then… maybe The First Heretic I think. Unless I get an e-reader.

My current list of Warhammer books I want. Dark Coil has an asterisk to indicate a “maybe.” I have the first Ciaphus Cain omnibus, Fulgrim, and The First Heretic already waiting in my bookcase. Hoping to get an e-reader eventually so I don’t have to hunt for pricey used copies of things.

I am very excited for @airbubbles.bsky.social to get back to crafting again! We may be creative in different ways, but goddamn, when she’s in her groove, I want to push myself to also be in that groove. She’s very inspiring.

Tom Morello and Rise Against announced "a concert of solidarity & resistance" in Minneapolis this Friday, with all proceeds benefitting Renee Good and Alex Pretti's families.

"Ain’t nobody coming to save us except us and it’s now or never," Morello writes.

Our niece having her K-pop Demon Hunters phase was honestly some fantastic news.
I need everyone to know that my 4 year old niece calls the song “Your Idol” from K-pop Demon Hunters the “Spooky soda pop” song.

The logistical effort it must have taken to develop a stowage plan that allowed for this.

This is dedication.
The ocean freighting industry is woke now (the containers spell Renee, for Renee Good).

Happy birthday to my soul mate, my enabler, my biggest supporter, a big reason I wake up every day ready to meet the horrors of the world, my cosmically aligned other half, @steveglover.bsky.social! May his NIKKE pulls be blessed, and for all his work orders to be filled exactly as he wants them.

I need a sugar daddy so he can buy me these books. And then other Warhammer books. And models. They can also be my husband’s sugar daddy and buy him Warhammer models too. Said sugar daddy will get nothing in return aside from my fangirl screaming about Thonius.

This morning, I recorded a video on TikTok about why DHS’s arguments for the power to enter homes without judicial warrants in immigration cases are bunk.

Nine hours later, TikTok still says my video is “under review,” and can’t be shared.

Well, here’s a link:

I can’t believe Thonius goes from prissy fop to slutty goth and Ravenor is just like “damn, my boy is growing up and gonna be a great inquisitor!” MY GUY. MY DOOD. YOU ARE JUST KINDA OBLIVIOUS HUH.

Along with this, I gotta make a list for Bluesky of my friendos so I can stop missing all y’all’s posts.
This weekend I need to reply to things. DMs here, on Discord, etc. Emails. Texts to my own family members. I gotta get my head outta my ass and get to it.

Ravenor Returned is FIN. still rolling around wailing about Thonius. Also, the last fifth of the book was very silly. Like, I had to put it down and stare at a wall b/c it was just SILLY. Like, Abnett, those were some choices you made. Also also, Ravenor is a terrible inquisitor. He is very stupid.
