If people make cutesy posts about growing food and herb spirals and composting but never talk about stuff like preventing and getting rid of rats in a garden, I get this suspision that they either haven't actually gardened much or they're more interested in presenting an aesthetically pleasing image than in actually preparing people to deal with a garden.

To my fellow US Americans: If you are planning on arming yourselves because of the election results and what might be on the horizons, I urge you to be a responsible gun owner.

Take as many classes as you can. Get certified in gun safety, even if it's not required to own a gun in your state. Get a gun safe. A good gun safe. Lock your gun up. Don't leave it armed. Don't wave your guns or gun-owning status around and don't pose with guns like they're toys. I'd say not to make gun buying an impulse purchase, either. You are investing in something that holds great potential risk to yourself and others - treat it like a responsibility.

I'm not here to argue about if Americans ought to exercise the second amendment in the way it currently exists. That's not the point - we have always had the second amendment, and I doubt it's going anywhere. I am more interested in making sure we don't see a surge in accidental, negligent gun ownership.

As a queer person in the US, I can understand the mindset behind people's spiked interest in arming themselves. I'm not arguing against that. As a child of gun owners, I know just how huge a responsibility it is to own a gun, and I hate the general attitude we Americans have about guns. Please don't contribute to that. If you own a gun, it is you inherent responsibility to take care of that gun (which is why I can't own a gun yet - I don't have the resources to pour into proper ownership).

When an important person in the Navy dies in office (as in, still in the position they held, not necessarily in the actual office), it's tradicional to fly a U.S. flag half-staff from the base that person served in at time of death. The more important the person, the more bases and vessels affected.

Ice died in office as the Commander of the Pacific Fleet. There's no doubt that at least his home base (I'm assuming Miramar, but officially it should be Pearl Harbor-Hickam) flew half-staff for at least the day and the day after. But he was Commander of the Pacific Fleet. That's an entire fucking FLEET under his control.

I haven't been able to find any occasion in the Pacific Fleet History where a Commander of the Fleet died in office (specifically Pacific, I did find Atlantic Fleet and Chief of Naval Operations), but I trust that it's a big fucking thing.

When I was FINALLY able to find what would be the protocol on this shit, it said that 'all ships present, not underway, and by naval stations in the vicinity should fly the National Ensign Half-Mast'. From the time off death until sunset of the day of funeral.

What If they let it fly for longer? I mean, Iceman was a big fucking thing. One more star and all of the Navy would be affected. What if they let it fly half-staff a little longer, to honor the man that died?

Just imagine Mav coming back from that mission, happy to have his son back, only to be faced with a half-staff flag flowing in the wind.

Honestly despite my feelings about how the last arc of MHA went down I really love Deku and his story.

I just feel like a lot of the time we get these protagonists whose whole philosophy is it doesn’t matter what you were born as everyone can achieve greatness. But then the series goes on and it turns out that actually it DOES matter because the protagonist has this really great lineage and these really great powers you can only have through birth they were actually born born, predestined if you will, to do this.

But MHA actually sticks to its guns. Midoriya wasn’t revealed to have some great connection to all might that the universe had put in place. He wasn’t defended from some great lineage that makes him uniquely suited to this. Hell All for one didn’t even turn out to be his father, there was no hidden powerful quirk he was always meant to have. He was just Midoriya Izuku a boy who was in the right place at the right time and simply decided to act while the world did nothing. And that’s what really made him a hero.

I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but I believe him a bit more when he goes anybody can be a hero if you just decide to act

it felt like it had been a while since I wrote any action and since I'd played around with the Dreaming, so I started writing this fic where the Dreaming gets struck by a plague that forces it to follow logic and Dream and Hob have to fight it off 😂

Neither Dream nor Hob are particularly great at accepting logical outcomes so it's basically just shenanigans.

--

He had gotten decently good, over time, at manipulating the immediate dream space around him—making doors open where he needed them to go, summoning tea for Dream when they sat together in bed, just small things—and so he reached out a hand, expecting a sword to fall into it. He hadn’t fought with a sword in centuries but it always felt more right in the Dreaming. Nowadays it was like a fantasy weapon, something out of a story, and the Dreaming so easily latched onto stories; the more fantastical the resonance, the easier it was to get the Dreaming to follow what he asked. But nothing appeared in his palm. Fuck. The logic. Okay, so a fantasy sword wasn’t logical. He could make it logical? “Hob fought plenty of bloody wars with a broadsword and then stashed it away over the years and so has a sword now,” he said out loud, as if he could argue the Dreaming into believing the story. Dream watched him quizzically. And nothing appeared. Ughhh, fine. No swords. Hob still wanted a weapon. “Fine, Hob changed lives too many times to hang onto a sword but always knew the value of self-defense especially after the godforsaken 1600s and now has an illegal Glock 19 hidden under his baseboards,” he said, then reached down, pried up a loose board that was now evident in the floor of the throne room, and picked up the gun. “Do you actually have that?” said Matthew. “Of course I do,” said Hob, “it’s only logical.”

if we get top gun 3 and rooster has a random female love interest with 0 personality and no romantic chemistry i’m going to shoot someone

[toskarin]

speaking of luuga, I don't think I ever posted the shitposty alt where she has a tiny magical underbarrel shotgun on her staff

in the end, I couldn't find a good compromise between getting across "this is just bolted onto her staff" and getting across "this could actually fire" without reworking the entire composition, hence why I didn't finish it lol
