🗣️YOU CAN FIND ME IN THE CLUB 🤺

Took the fresh fit to the club and had a few dances with my buddy Alex.

Full gear sparring is so different but so fun!?

I need to drill more, so many things I know what TO do but I was to busy thinking and not DOING.

Clipped this plant yesterday again to make 4 new top buds.

When it calms down and fluffs up after the stress of pruning I may do this one more time

I lost almost every duel but I won a lot of respect, comradarie and friendship.

Especially when they found out it was my first time with a rapier lmfao 🤺

I’ve posted a lot of action shots but this one by far is the most action shot ever lmfao

The only way I was beating these Mexican fencers was by using Fabris 😭🤌🏻

If you don’t know what I’m setting up, the next picture will show you.

Also I’m stripping all foliage and buds from the stems as they grow out so they focus on other shit instead of bad bud spots, lollipoping is a common term for this.

Can’t wait to open the tent up tonight when I get home and see how they are all doing

This is insane. Also, it's absurd that WotC doesn't somehow officially recognize Scryfall and keeps pretending people actually use gatherer (lol). Honestly they should just give the Scryfall devs money.

Depending on the quality of the hotdog, I might kill a man for one of these.

And if I was stoned, there's not a number of men alive that could stop me from eating 2 of these

one of the big issues with AI summaries is giving people the idea that they are getting sufficient conceptual coverage. writing must always have a perspective. asking for a “neutral” summary of a complex topic will only get you one perspective, not an approximation of the “true” perspective.

Getting insane growth right now after setting my grow tent on a 20/4.

Right now is all about training and pruning and getting some good vegetation on before reducing the daylight hours to 18/6 for a week or two to prepare them for the 12/12 flowering stage.

I’m somewhere between abject disgust and if a joint hit me the right way I’d fuck a plate of these monsters up
I think I may have discovered the bane of @gailsimone.bsky.social.

All that is anathema to her power.

Well, milled an opponent out with The Cabbage Merchant. That was fun.

After a few weeks of daily bending, the plant has started to thicken the joints which means I’m going to start softly training the branches down and out so I can make a more even canopy in my grow space.
Bending also helps me make use of more vertical space when I tuck her under a trellis.

Tonight we're aiming for particularly janky fun and I'm loving it.

EDH the way it was meant to be played :)

It's Trans Day of Remembrance.

They won't ever be able to get rid of us, no matter what. No amount of hateful legislation can change the fact of our existence.

PAXU is tomorrow. Here's your reminder from aunt Val to TAKE PICTURES WITH YOUR FRIENDS.

I'm not longer asking, or explaining. Just take the damn pictures.

I'll be there to. I'll take the pictures for you if you want, whatever.

“Criticism”?

Why is this asshole still President? Can’t even his most ardent suckups see that he is astonishingly out of control and unfit?

Or is that what they like about him? He’s their public id.

At risk of sounding like a token record.

It’s a complete system so the ideas flow between weapon sets so you get to build on fundamental ideas.

Aye Nathan I'm looking to start my HEMA journey within the next couple of months. I'm specifically interested in an end goal of polearm forms.

Do you have any good recs on where to pick up a practice staff/spear?
