Take my money!!

Alright. I managed to get my wife something for her birthday. Supernatural complete series on Blu-Ray it is. 12 y/o started watching the series together. The first season without the licensed CLASSIC RAWK just doesn’t hit the same. Blu-Ray, baby!

Scrawling windows on this Galaxy saucer is making it feel more alive already. Scrapped the first base color. This feels closer to shooting model. Then to try out the paneling color(s).

I can’t say it any better.

There are a slew of Ship builders I’m following that have inspired me to get back to it. In my wildest dreams, I can make like this. Let me just get on years (decades, even) of training and expert refinement. This ship is my fave of the Picard S3 bunch. Everything from Bill is breathtaking.

Oh - one of the things I most want to do is some starship kit bashing. This makes it look easy! (I don’t think it is)

I want this diorama. Wow.

Day 2 progress on and unnamed Galaxy-Class 1:1400. Comes with Syracuse as well as the Ent-D. The color I tried tonight feels like a direction I can build on. But, darn I did like that subtle blue green.

Experimenting with colors here. I know it’s my ship, ultimately I can do what I want. I kinda like the green-blue but en masse it might be a bit much.

Star Trek VI: The Racism Our worst selves are reflected as much as our greatest possibilities. Have never been able to conclude if my favorite is VI or II.

I know that, as the adult I am the problem. I am NOT feeling the whole parenting thing right now. My neurospiciness + my kids’ inheritance and manifestation of it just mean I’m exhausted and semi-catatonic at 7:30 AM. And without a physical realm social group, the isolation feels super, too!

Every time I log in, I do so with a wonder if I’ll see an ‘in memorian.’ Heck, maybe several of them.

Hopescrolling. Hits different. Good morning.

Take tonight my friends. Take heart and let this fuel us all. There IS hope, proven beyond repudiation tonight. And now, to The Undiscovered Country.

Bronchitis cough hurts like hell, but the cocktail of Zyrtec, random kids’ cough syrup, Advil, mucinex and melatonin might finally be kicking in. Please let sweet sleep take me for a full 5 hours at least. Excited for the pharmacy to open tomorrow so actual RXs can be collected. Good night!

I would like to take a drain weasel and place it down my throat to get whatever feels like razor blades clear from it.

Anyone happen to have any Thalaron Radiation?

Echoing others, I’ve been so angry about the vilification of trans individuals and erosion of their rights. The mistreatment of people who look like ‘immigrants.’ And so many other corrosive elements of the regime. Seeing the destruction of the White House…. It’s as if it were struck by a jet.

@wtopnews.bsky.social just as I like to be accurate - this is your homepage at least as appears on my phone screen. Why is the destruction of the White House buried? Trump was right about one thing. Mainstream media news is absolute garbage. Journalists have abandoned America.

Even if you can’t join-solo dad’ng today-drive by, honk, thank the people there. Say hello to the Antifa Amphibians. You WILL feel better.

They feed on our engagement. Like the assholes I knew in high school, they stuff their face holes with your passion, and vomit back nothing but rehearsed, smug one-liners.

Plugged the pedals in and dialed in the tone I played so many songs through. Ibanez Tubescreamer through a Fender Blues Deluxe. Simple, clear, powerful. Felt good to get lost in some jammage for a little bit, at least. I find myself wanting to scratch that itch more. It’s been a long time.

Just gonna mute Kegstand as a term. One thing about this fascism, these fuckers are incredibly idiotic and pathetically weak. Let anyone stand up to this drunk mother fucker and watch him fold like an old lawn chair…. ….that Vance probably put his peen in.

If I won the lottery, there would definitely be signs.

Totes bout to stick it to the man by sticking a needle in my arm. Fight the power mofos

Thinking about how there could hopefully be a noble captain amongst the chaos, willing to risk themselves against Conspiracy. Certainly, a possible outcome. And as Captain Walker of The Horatio, smart enough to use the most highly secure of communication channels.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov @govwesmoore.bsky.social - I am so grateful for the health alliance. Now, I pose an educational alliance. As the performative Nazi Miller spouts off greatest hits of Red-Scare propoganda, I propose we establish our power in guaranteeing our progeny’s access to knowledge.

Like i knew that fascists were pissbaby cowards who are so scared that their tissue paper lies and propaganda won't hold up that they try to wipe out anything that breathes at them but WOW, these pissbaby cowards really take the pissbaby coward award huh Pissbaby cowards of the century

Wondering aloud while watching Star Trek as a kid / “Why do they all play classical? Why are holodeck programs knock-offs… Well, it seems we had to reinvent our entertainment during the Fascist Republican takeover in 2025. I can tell it may be hard to put my money where my mouth is… but shit.

Not sure if I’m more saddened that ‘the video’ was shown to my child on the school bus OR the fact that she has no way to comprehend the reality of ‘the video.’ Dropped non-chalantly at dinner. I hate smartphones. Kids have no need for untethered devices. There are other ways to stay in contact.

Heck yeah this has been great.

There is sooo much going wrong, and no excuse for so many things. BUT if you want to feel some good vibes, get on Twitch, follow the GamesDoneQuick page and enjoy the inclusive, positive, geosocial impact Gamers can make. I lucked out being sick this week. Benefits Malala Fdtn. The gals are aces

Is it too much to want a household where a guy with a cold can turn off every light and just sit in silence for 17 hours until bedtime

Can’t take credit for this #shiptember post. My 12 y/o joined me in drawing some spaceships.

If you fell down that first hole in Hollow Knight Silksong that took you back to the beginning, you have to repost this. That’s the rule.

I’m contemplating getting sick song this morning.

I’m sad I never made it to Disney World. And I feel for those with the bad luck of living in the regressive land of Florida. Disneyland is still an option, I suppose.

Sometimes, the chaos my family/home life has become overshadows the chaos of the outside world. And, for a moment, I forget what’s going on out there. Toddler screaming, 10 year-old yelling because she pushed a button on a controller, me intervening, allowing the dinner to broil into oblivion…

Pray for IT.

Some light morning research on what happens to a cult when its leader dies. According to my research, collapse isn’t immediate, but effectiveness of the cult’s mission is greatly diminished without the personality that built it.

Got up to pee and now I just don’t know with clearly something happening if I can go back to sleep. So many cryptic posts about a big event. It’s like waiting for Halo 2 to be announced. Something cool must be going on! Maybe?

Jurassic World Rebirth. Finished; had to avoid watching with the toddler around. Took a while. Nothing will match the OG JP. Rebirth was enjoyable. Rebirth features Lincoln Lawyer. Felt slow at times, and I believe that a plus. Lots of space for Dino-moments to shine. Hybrid-time minimal.

The beginning of this school year so far feels very positive. No noticeable difference between this and others. That we are 15 miles from DC and all is business as usual makes me feel odd. It’s as if ‘something’ is always slightly out of place.

Back to school/work tomorrow. Summer break ends. Summer break is not great for us anxious folk. Transitions suck. The fact that the school systems, schools, etc. treat it like a reason to make so many changes doesn’t help for sure. I guess I should check my e-mail today….

Bonanza! DK! I can’t believe they did that!!

So tired this morning. Life’s draw distance is borked. Lots of pop-in.

It’s almost curfew D.C. what is the angry old dad getting up to? Took fascism to drive me to music again. It’s been a long time. But let’s fucking go.

Damn. No on told me Lincoln Lawyer was in Jurassic World: Rebirth. An hour in; I like this far better than any of the previous ‘World’ entries.

Looking forward to Teaching for Social Justice this school year. Truth is not indoctrination; truth leads to progress. Truth is not propaganda. I will die on that hill.
