This kind of headline is 31 flavors of infuriating.
How many Black men dealing with "personal issues" have been murdered by police for SO MUCH LESS than threatening to bomb the nation's capital.
How many times are we going to humanize racist, fascist terrorists like this?

NEW: CNN reports that MAGA bomber today in DC was dealing with "personal issues”

Holy shit I didn't know this, and man it makes me love Skyrim so much more.
The treasure fox is a neat thing, but the detailed story about how the game is constructed is so so fascinating

Alright, so inspired by @NPurkeypile@twitter.com's bee post yesterday, here is one of my favorite bits of Skyrim oral history - the myth of the treasure fox.
I've told this story before in talks/etc, but I don't think I've shared it with twitter. Here goes.

Dykes To Watch Out For is one hell of a book, and captures the cross-section of a community struggling to keep its head above water, and unite into a force that can even challenge the US state, and petition for equality.
It's a perspective of our history, basically.

Crispy duck breast and wonton noodles in curry-soy sauce. With green beans, wilted spinach, and marinated vegetables.
I think the worst part about dealing with racists as a customer service worker is the disproportionate effect it has on my day. I was humming right along until running into this, and now I really don't want to be at my computer right now. BUT SO MUCH WORK STILL
This is a survey of 1,041 adults. Based on the percentages given, is there any way to find out how many responders were Democrats, Republicans, and Independents?
RT @NumbersMuncher@twitter.com
Axios/Ipsos poll: Overall 69% of Americans support mandatory masking in school, with 44% of Republicans and 92% of Democrats supporting.
This is definitely another one of those 'Twitter isn't real life' data points.

You know what's great, having to write a "customer-friendly" response to dickbag racists upset that we would DARE partner with a non-profit to provide online scholarships to underserved communities, even though everyone can apply.
White fragility is the fucking worst dude
So Ted Lasso has filled the void in my soul that Parks & Recreation and The Good Place left behind, and I couldn't be happier about that <3 <3 <3

I don’t usually share fan art, but here’s a little something I did between commissions to practice a more “painty” look.
Also who doesn’t like Hank McCoy? -w-

When the pieces were uploaded to FA, it was basically her crapping on the characters with other folks in the comments.
I don't try to get art from artists I'm not extremely comfortable with anymore. >.>
I really want to commission more artists for art, but every time I think about it I think about the last time I commissioned an artist I hadn't worked with before.
For both pieces she basically shit all over the characters for traits she didn't like.
Support the con in other ways if you can:
+ Attend panels and events virtually.
+ Donate to causes (or the convention!) to ensure their survival.
+ Recognize con staff as overworked and underappreciated PEOPLE who are VOLUNTEERING for the community.
+ Be kind. Always.
So don't yell at cons if they decide to put on the event this year; there are so many factors unseen by most of us and out of their control that might have gone into that decision.
We should inform ourselves about the risk inherent in going and make the best decision we can.
So many cons are in similar situations, especially in states where public health measures are being vigorously fought by the state's own governors.
Any con in TX and FL likely has to face an impossible choice of moving forward with the con or potentially bankrupting themselves.
