  • Man, if you knew how many falls that having learned how to fall safely in jujutsu kept me free from injury, you’d sign up for classes tomorrow.

    I swear to gods, just this past year, I took five falls that I’m sure would have broken something if I hadn’t slapped right. Plus several that would have been more achy and bruisey without those years of practice hitting the ground.

    I’m glad you’re okay :)


  • Well, I gotta say that seeing a Monet in person wrecked my brain.

    But my favorite painter is van Gogh, which I guess is pretty fucking common; and my favorite sculptor is Rodin. I’ve never seen anything of theirs in person.

    I don’t know if it would have that same consciousness altering effect because I’ve not only already been exposed to art, but art like theirs, and even reproductions of them. But I sure as fuck wish I could travel and find out.

    It’s one of those curses where I could never afford to take off of work to see them, even if they’d been close enough I could afford to get there. Now that I’m disabled, I have the time, but even less money. But, even if I saved, I can’t really travel far at all. Even a day’s drive is murder that takes days to recover from.

    I keep my eye out, though. I hope one of the museums I can reach will have access, or something like that.






  • Well, considering the stupidity you were spouting in public, on a website that can be (and seems to be) viewed by government actors, and I’m talking about that, what the fuck do you think? Do you think? Are you dense enough to think that I’m going to spell anything more than that out considering I’m telling you to show some fucking sense and keep your mouth shut?

    Or are you just some fucking edge lord looking for attention rather than actually advocating for change via direct action?

    I’ll say it again shut the fuck up about it, get armed, be ready, or at least stop being so obvious about it


  • Strangely, very relaxed.

    Rooster has been unusually friendly and eager for pets, but not batshit crazy.

    Hen has been adorable as always, and responding nicely to irregular schedules due to weather.

    The only minor occurrence has been with the volunteer hen.

    And it is pretty minor. She’s a bit of a pisser. See, because we can’t keep her isolated or even in our yard since she’s got a band on and can escape the yard easily, we can’t let her stay in the chicken run.

    You don’t introduce a strange bird to your flock without an isolation period, and with her not being ours, and having started as someone’s, we can’t just crate her on the porch or anything like that. So she’s free to go wherever she wants, which means she’s a constant exposure threat. Which is bad enough through the wire of the run, but we’re not risking more contact than that unless we can get her through a quarantine period where she doesn’t leave the yard.

    Not a big deal. Except… when one of us is out there, giving treats, checking the water, that kind of thing, she gets super jealous of our hen. She sees the treats in the run and wants them too. She gets treats, none of us are going to be mean enough to run her off, so she gets some too.

    But she wants allllllll the treats. Which means she’s fluffing up all tough and squawking through the mesh. Our hen is about twice the volunteer’s size since the volunteer is a bantam, so she’s nonplussed about it. Not that our hen is huge, she’s a marans, and they’re on the small side. So the marans is happily gobbling things up, trilling and purring and clucking while the rooster tuk-tuks around. The volunteer is stomping and acting badass while being essentially ignored.

    It’s utterly hilarious to see a bird that could comfortably nestle into my hand (I have big hands, she isn’t tiny) with just fluff hanging off trying to act like a cartoon character doing the whole “put ‘em up, put em’ up” routine.

    Yo, no bullshit, my hen that sometimes rides on my shoulder catches shit I’d never notice.

    Mind you, it isn’t armed enemies or anything, but those fucking squirrels are plottin on me.

    And the rooster, that crazy bastard would rip a shotgun out of my hands amd shove it up the ass of a coyote. My feathered homie goes hard on predators


  • Flags are a pain in the ass.

    My grandfather had a pole in his front yard. Every bloody day it was acceptable, the US and US naval flag were up. Made him happy, having been career navy, but the amount of work involved in maintaining the pole can fuck right off for me, even if I gave a damn about flags.

    And that’s not including maintaining the flags, nor the extra bullshit about how you handle the flags when they’re governmental.

    Most I’m willing to deal with is a rainbow sticker, or one of the various related flags in sticker form so folks know they aren’t alone, that they have people that care about them and their rights. Even that, I’m not dealing with an actual flag for.


  • I mean, you didn’t provide context, so someone else did it for you.

    What you provided just makes you look like a jerk.

    The context makes you look stupid for shooting your mouth off when you should be making plans and organizing instead of giving any fucking sign at all that lemmy might be a source of resistance before a resistance is ready.

    Maybe, instead of trying to swing dick at a mod doing their job, you should take the as a wake up call.

    If you really feel that strongly about it, shut the fuck up, get armed, and be ready for when people with sense need cannon fodder







  • First, never take internet answers as fact, because skipping talking to a lawyer can end up making you need a lawyer.

    That being said, while Florida has switched to no permit needed in state, as long as you carry and present on demand a legal ID, that does not extend out of state. You still need that permit for reciprocity.

    I had heard that the backlog of old applications was moving along better there because there’s less applications now, leaving more manpower to handle things.

    However, if you’re fucking with cops, you’re going to get fucked by cops. Remember, open carry is still illegal, and you must present ID on demand if carrying concealed. Just the permit isn’t enough. Iirc, you also have a duty to notify when carrying, so it isn’t like you only have to deal with it if they ask if you’re armed.
