Veterans: Breaking the Stigma & Recognizing Their Strengths

Just Because Training… What is it like to be a dangerous person? Civilians often think that because military veterans are oftentimes trained to kill and/or be killed, they are dangerous. In the military, most branches learn to shoot real guns, with real bullets, with very real consequences. We have all seen the movies where the basic trainee becomes irrational and kills the drill sergeant. This…

Pride month may be over, but that doesn't mean support for the community isn't still needed.

Here’s a list of a few resources you can use to help the LGBTQ+ community this month and for as long as it takes to rid the world of bigotry.

The Pride Foundation

The Equality Federation

Trans Veterans

The LGBT Aging Center

If you know of other trusted groups, please feel free to leave recommendations in the comments section. :)

Lots of love and well wishes to you all.

❤️ 🧡 💛 💚 💙 💜

A  huge shout out to my wonderful crew Abie Eke, Calla  Parmly, Dawn Vice, Josephine Chang, Lexi the First, Rae, Taze Campbell, and Xero Nazarova, for being such amazing Pride Knights! ❤️

The dollar collapse is happening NOW!"

The Storm is coming sooner than expected. All financial systems controlled by the corrupt government will collapse.

This crash will be felt on a global level, and many currencies, especially the USD, will be worthless.

Fiat accounts, savings and retirement accounts, mortgage, e.t.c will crash down and wipe off from the system once this event happens, Quantum Financial System is the savior.!!!

Convert every money in your possession to digital gold & silver backed coins and move them into the QFS ledger for safety . There will be a Global Reset. All banks and fiat exchanges will be closed, and there will be a lot of uncertainty & confusion. Cash will be worthless and outdated, and all bank accounts will be closed and crash to zero .

All cabal public banks will be confiscated, and foreclosures will be frozen, as will all public and private dept(mortgage,loans, credit, and debit cards).

Don't let republicans fool you with their national populism cause they do not give a single care for veterans who died and suffered for America. They would hollow out the VA and fill it corporate and political stooges who would blindly follow the GOP's bidding. Our government doesn't care enough for veterans and here we have Republicans confirming it, remember it was Biden who passed the CARE act. So remember a future where our soldiers suffer more than they already do is what the Republicans want.

hi gold how does one get into mcsr

OH HELLO ANON! OH BOY DO I GOT SOMETHING TO TELL YOU.

for starters, thank you for taking your time to get into mcsr.. very small community I think, i havent been here long.. HOWEVER! I WILL DO MY BEST TO TELL YOU HOW I GOT INTO IT :] more under the cut.

mcsrblr PELASE do not pelt rocks at me, I am probably sure that there's better and different ways to get into mcsr.. I'm just giving my experience. thank u. godbless. yall are super nice. :')

first, I got introduced to mcsr because of a fanfic called dolorem, which is written by my good friend alyx vibesoda :]

you don't need to know all the characters and speedrunners in here, I walked into this fic COMPLETELY blind. however, if you want to do background check, this is where my second piece of advice comes in!!!

(ps, if you do read it, and if you do finish dolorem, there's a sequel fic alyx is writing on ao3 called iterum which you should read ONLY UNLESS YOU HAVE READ DOLOREM.)

second, recommended from a friend, a few mcsrs you can watch are couriway, feinberg or fulham for proper videos on mcsr or on Minecraft speedrunners.

(ps, WATCH COURIS HOUSE OF NIGHTMARES VIDEO. it was a great way for me to get into silverrruns and talkingmime :3)

for clips (which are a lot easier to find), I recommend the talkingmimefunny, silverrrunsfunny, feinbergfunny or feinberg rocks, vice president poundcake, hackingnoises funny, HBG highlights, HBG lowlights (tho there's only one video), or HBG clips.

if you have time for vods, theres feinberg's vod channel, couriway's vod channel, silverrruns' vod channel and respective twitch channels for most mcsrs, like talkingmime!

lastly, I heard the mcsr community on both tumblr and Twitter do NOT bite, and are extremely welcoming in terms of new fans. make a couple of friends i guess. lol. if you are a lifesteal watcher who may be interested in fein because of him being vip on lifesteal, read this post! and keep in mind that mcsr works kind of differently from lifesteal.

in conclusion, it's really all up to you to find out which speedrunners you really enjoy, whether it be by fics, clips, or videos. it's all exploration and finding friends who can recommend you their silly guys.

anyway rant over. big big mongey

The Chaos Space Marine lineup doesn't really need a lot right now, unless you're holding out for a new Defiler or updated tanks, so I'm not at all surprised to see that the forthcoming Codex is launching with an HQ update and not much else.

What did surprise me was that both the lord on foot and lord with jump pack are getting revamps - I would have figured one or the other for a generic CSM character, but it's always nice to have options. Between this and the new Kill Team upgrade sprue, it should be a great time for Night Lords players.

The battleforce boxes in which they'll first appear have the potential to be a pretty significant savings if you're just getting started with the traitor legions - but it's a lot of models most CSM players probably already have and I worry that it'll struggle to move as a result.

Pointing out that the military industrial complex grooms children into it is good but you can't say that everytime a person from a country your nation has bombed complains about military personnel. Y'all know that a ton of people in the military enjoy killing right.

community college is so funny because half of the teachers are like "For this class you need to use lockdown browser for all quizzes and tests. You need to buy this 70 dollar textbook, and all papers turned in must be in APA format with a title page even if they're only 500 words long. I will not accept late assignments. Also you have a minimum of 4 assignments a week." and the other half are like "you don't need proctoring for the final exam I trust you. here's a download link to a pirated copy of the textbook. as long as your writing is coherent and demonstrates an understanding of the material I literally could not care less what format you use. I can't figure out how canvas works so I'm not giving you due dates, just make sure it's turned in before the grading period ends. your only weekly assignment is a forum post with a minimum of 100 words."

[vt-scribbles]

Really wish younger fandom kids/adults would be aware that if a community gets big enough, there's /always/ going to be problematic people/content in it. Like.

If you have more than 1000 people in a group, you're gonna have racists, pedos, etc. There's always gonna be shitty people in the mix. But that doesn't mean the community at-large is bad if the focus of the community is something unrelated to these harmful people.

I've seen 'this fandom/community is toxic' more times than I can count, when in the end, every fandom/community has toxic parts. Every single one. To reduce a community's whole down to one of its parts is reductive and harmful, and often chases out the good people because they feel guilty by association.

Anyways. Be kind to your communities. Allow them to grow up. Be the good parts you apparently want to see in it. But don't go tearing apart the chicken coop because of a few bad eggs.

Community Service

Rex, during the commute back to Coruscant: It's so quiet without the 105th troopers around... Jesse: You're saying that like it's a bad thing? Rex: Hm? Oh, no not at all. I just... Got used to expecting even more trouble than usual is all... Jesse: Well, once we get to Coruscant we'll know how they've been getting along with their 'community service' assignment. Rex: Yeah... Fox is keeping tabs on that while also keeping tabs on when we'll finally be able to pick up a massiff for them. I'm a little nervous to find out what the boys have been up to.

-Several Hours after Touch Down on Triple Zero-

Fox, via holocall: Still no word on the massiff pup, Rex. Rex: Oh, yeah I know. You'd leave a message if you had anything new on that front. I just uh, wanted to check on how the 105th veterans were dealing with their current assignment. Fox: ...Well they haven't set the Madam's brothel on fire, if that is what you're worried about. Rex: Fox: They're doing ok Rex. I have some of my boys keeping tabs on the 105th men, and they're excellent as security detail. Seem to be receptive to the Madam's crew, since they're the least threatening people on Coruscant. Rex: And they haven't been... Instigating fights? Fox: Negative. All is well... Although I do hope the 'breeder' comes through soon, because while they seem to be more comfortable with the Madam's crew, I've been informed that they still seem to have issues trusting each other. A pet project like training their own therapy animal should help them bond more readily. Rex: I hope so too... Vode that can't trust other vode are a risk to themselves and others. And after everything they've been through, they deserve to at least be able to trust that they have each other's backs. Fox, somewhat melancholic: Yeah...

Deity Discernment: Trickster Deities

For today's Apollo + Hermes Tumblr devotional act I will be covering trickster deity discernment as best as possible! I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal of the Eora Nation, the traditional custodians of this land and pay my respects to the Elders past, present and emerging. I acknowledge that Aboriginal sovereignty has not been ceded.

FoR: I was a Loki devotee for a few years or so prior to relocating to a Greek community & drawing the attention of Hellenic gods, after a period of worshipping Hermes I became a Hermes Devotee and so I am blessed to have had some experience with Trickster deities in a devotional way. I am also a Neopagan, not a reconstructionist so I won't be covering pagan reconstructionist approaches here.

This does not mean that I have been immune to trickster fuckery as I had Hermes admit to me that he "cosplayed" as other deities a while ago however his reasoning as follows: "As a messenger god I am often tasked with delivering messages between gods and mortals and sometimes the messages from the gods are best received with the wrapping of the god who has sent the message rather than from me. People will occasionally think it's directly from the god who sent the message, which I'm fine with so long as the message is being received as effectively as possible. However I'm not responsible for people's discernment skill-issue making them think that I'm another god." - Hermes when I asked about him coming across as other deities. Note that this is really a thing with people who casually worship gods rather than devotees since devotees actually have a strong relationship with their god/s.

So, how does one ID a deity?

Rule out mundane causes such as lack of sleep, interrupted sleep etc.

Deity identification tarot readings (I'll link a post below)

Pay someone with a good reputation for deity identification to do this for you if possible (I am wary of "free" services) to gain an external perspective

Pay attention to signs, omens & synchronicities (log them somewhere)

Research the deity you think it is: How have they traditionally appeared to others? How do modern pagans perceive them? Are there signs or synchronicities that seem "off" or not aligned with the deity you think is reaching out?

Spiritually cleanse your home in whichever way aligns with your practice.

Ask a messenger or oracular deity from your pantheon to help guide your discernment.

Work with your strongest clairsense and maintain your clairs. E.g. I am claircognizant so I maintain that with exercises when possible to strengthen my discernment.

Work on improving your connection with your Higher Self as that is essentially the antenna between your mundane-self and the spiritual realm. The stronger your connection with your Higher Self the less likely a trickster deity may pull one on you and/or the less likely you'll encounter miscommunication issues due to a "fuzzy" connection (Hermes' term).

Optional: Perform an egg cleanse to remove any bad mojo from others.

Bonus tip: I am being reminded by Apollo to create my dark/trickster Book of Shadows (on my growing devotional to-do list) but even dedicating a section of your regular BoS to trickster deities from your pantheon can help. Now I did tell anon in the linked ask that I'd do the following:

- Adequately addressing Dionysus specific aspects

- Addressing common traits among some of the various trickster deities

- Research various tips to strengthen discernment skills.

- Reasons why deity identification can be confusing, especially with trickster gods. However, Apollo is guiding me to create a more general post that can be used with almost any Pantheon, to better help a wider audience so I apologise to Anon for not addressing the points that I said I would.

I hope this helps.

Beautiful art of a Vietnam veteran!!

[titanomancy]

No further surprises with the updated Command Squad or Sternguard Veterans. Models all track closely with their discontinued Firstborn counterparts, aside from the typical Primaris detailing common to all modern Mk.X Space Marines.

I don't know that the range is really enhanced by the inclusion of a heavier heavy flamer, but there's no unringing that particular bell.
