Fuck Kiera Knightley and her LOL-ing, anti-trans crap. Respectfully eat my shit, i hope the stink of this clings to her career & she looks back at this moment with bitter, searing regret for the rest of her days.

To people suggesting I'm taking her out of context the clip is even worse when she seems to just laugh at the idea of caring about other people's human rights

LOL noticed an error in my own writing so I'm posting this again: I was working on this yesterday 🥩 #Pathfinder2e #MeatCircusJam

Medium Rare [reaction] Trigger The skittering steak takes fire damage; Effect The steak sizzles and cooks, releasing a tantalizing aroma. All enemies within 30 feet must attempt a DC XX Will saving throw. On a failure, a creature is exposed to meat temptation.

For a hundred bucks I'd risk it. Not that my faulty risk assessment should be a guide for anyone else, but really the only red flag I see is that, for $100 it can't be that solidly made; I don't want it to fall apart while I'm running from dinosaurs or robbing a noble.

genocide of people will continue to happen if the genocide of animal life, sea life, and plant life continues as well.

we are interconnected. exterminating life is exterminating life.

we cannot fix one without fixing the other.

start by lessening the harm of your current extermination.
