I have to go to work and I do not want to. No one understands my pain.

This weekend's mech project! The paint pens aren't quite as nice as a proper paint brush and palate, but as far as ease of use they cant be beat. Not much of a story for these particular mecha blorbos. So uhh, they're all gay and kiss and stuff.

Strawberry economics

Not seeing much truth in the headlines this morning. No freedom to be found, and justice is just gone. Hell, even love feels unreasonably priced in 2026... but fuck it all. I got me soft boiled eggs.

It's Train Day at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center! Behold: SPS 700 in all her resplendent strength.

People who refuse to acknowledge that Edelgard was objectively correct about everything are the real problem.

This was absolutely my experience and I HATE/love it

Out fundraising for Oregon Public Broadcasting, and a woman offered to set me up with her daughter. I had not considered the "Lesbian Meet Cute" angle of this job.

I have a Fishmonger now.

Moments before Catastrophe (2026, colorized)

Officially a Portlander!

Any and all scientists and engineers that built the running robot: I curse you. May the bread you eat taste as ashes in your mouths

there's an asymmetry of violence where if someone spends billions of dollars changing laws that end up killing me they get invited to galas but if I show up at their house with a brick I go to jail

In the deep there is movement. Slowly it stirs. Scales of lime and apathy falls from Her flanks as She stirs once more. There is a beat. It sounds like drums. And hope.

So turns out Mt. Tabor is super extra pretty.

A surprise to no one who knows me, I'm now officially volunteering at the Oregon Rail Heritage Center. It's nothing fancy for now, but it's forward momentum.

Forward Momentum.

Fine I’ll post it again

In the episode of Andor where Mon Mothma dances at her daughter's wedding, when her world is falling apart and her relationships are burning and her future is either damned or doomed and there's nothing she can do but surrender to the chaos of motion. How am I? I feel Niamos (Chandrilla Club Remix.)

Mountains rise and fall, and under them the Turtle swims onward. Men live and die, and the Turtle Moves. Empires grow and crumble, and the Turtle Moves. Gods come and go, and still the Turtle Moves. The Turtle Moves. #GNUSTP

NIAMOS!

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

So, I know I don’t post here very often, or really talk about much beyond reposting political stuff and some Warhammer painting, but on March 19th my father passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. We are trying to raise funds to help with expenses in this time. Thank you for any and all help.

I have never been interested in athletics and am far too old for this specific restriction to constrain my choices It is still one more rivet, one more part in the machine that is being built to kill me and people like me.

The feminine urge to weave a sling, drive off into the desert, and hurl rocks real far...

Every once in a while the blaseballer in me stirs.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Putting in your ear buds and cranking the volume on Warriors by Too Many Zooz probably isn't a good long term solution but it sure helps in the moment. Sorry did you say something?

BEGONE THOT

Better every day.

Hey blusky I know not many people see these but I'm gonna want a timeline someday so here ya go.

So the Algorithm pushed this on me and it's so incredibly charming. Might be the second best thing from 1988.

The Night Train to South Salish.

Keziah Sky was fuckin' ROBBED tonight in the NHRL.

@shamtex9009.bsky.social Did you hear that we have 20 days to stop our forests from being destroyed? morethanjustparks.substack.com/p/blm-announ... it's... Not great... I'm trying to make sure I tell every PNW person I know, so that we can stand a chance against this thing...

I was not prepared for Scrubs 2026 to be good.

It's trans women all the way down.

This is not the Nostalgia Trip we asked for.

Jesus fuck.

Sir Terry Pratchett had the right of things. These old locomotives are about the closest things we have to Small Gods. Put a kettle on for Iron Girder.

Another Locomotive for the pile!

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

One must imagine the itsy bitsy spider happy

....I'm not plotting out rail lines for the CR&NC.
