Sometimes I remember worrying that I was embarrassing when I started sharing my fanart. I fell so hard & so fast for our pirates. Then a pro comic artist I really look up to just out of the blue told me my OFMD stuff was "beautiful work". It was like he knew I needed to hear it right at that moment.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable

You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Seen a bunch of “where are the 2A types now to fight the tyrannical govt?” replies, so want to add this.

It’s not inconsistent that they aren’t fighting, bc there are two definitions of “freedom” here, and they are thinking of the other one.

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · Jun 10

"Where is the NRA now" posts are, I think, useful frames for noting the key insight of Cowie's Freedom's Dominion:

There are two types of freedom:

1. FROM oppression.
2. TO oppress.

And (2) has always been what the NRA types embraced.

So Trump IS LIBERATORY for them.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

a black and white photo of a man in a pinstripe worsted suit, white shirt, and textured necktie. the tie has a nice dimple under the knot.

By the morals of their times,

Slavers were hated by those they enslaved
Rapists by those who they raped
Murderers by the survivors

The morals of the past are the same as today. Assholes are assholes

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Yes! Lots of motifs to explore! I’m aware of several of these that I want to fully document and make a video about. Available time is very much an issue. I will get there eventually.

Spenglernot @spenglernot.bsky.social · 21h

I’ll be better equipped to do that when I finish documenting all the S1 music, which will take me some serious time, sadly. Doing some other non-work projects right now and then there’s the continual fighting fascism to tend to.
