🧵 Heck, they even now want to make the drive out to see us more often in the future, and have expressed a desire for me to show them more of this weapon on such occasions! I'm honestly feeling so frikkin' proud of myself and the work I've put into the success of this study group. Take that, anxiety!

🧵 However, the fact that our visitors praised my work multiple times and that one of them expressed a desire to train more with the funky weapon involved truly made my day! My aim with them had been to contribute to my club's good name but it seems I shot straight for the stars and succeeded 🤩 🧵

Last night, I led my very first ever HEMA study group with my local club. Not only did we have a great club turnout, we also had 2 visiting veterans from another city's club come to visit! I won't fully believe in the scope of my success until I see next week's turnout because #impostersyndrome. 🧵

“Most queer publishing from the 1960s onward was issued in small, independent presses that have disappeared.” Brooke Palmieri Artist & writer

History isn’t just what survives—it’s what we choose to remember. Too often, queer & trans stories have been erased, forgotten, or hidden away. But archives help reclaim that history, ensuring that future generations can find themselves in the past. blog.archive.org/2025/04/02/v...

A digital drawing reminiscent of a scrapbook or journal, with drawn elements of taped in photos, stickers and text. There are two panels with landscapes inside them, and one with purple flowers and the text "I will remain kindhearted."

YEAH a journaling inspired drawing!!

For what it's worth, Yudkowsky gets thoroughly ridiculed. But yeah, I was kinda surprised I'd never heard of these modern Rationalists before recently. It seems to have taken the Zizians' acts to bring the subject closer to the surface.

ADHD life hack!

Literally just watched a video by Strange Aeons on a "rationalist" HP fanfiction and it's just *chef's kiss*. The video, not the fanfiction. That was cringe AF and may or may not have been used to fund a weird culty rationalist org.

This is me shouting from the rooftops that I am quite proud of myself for sticking with practicing German enough that it's becoming routine despite my rampant ADHD. Yay me!

Funny how the flu encompasses all of my existence when it hits.

In other news, everything hurts and I am made of mucus.

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

I'm currently re-bingeing Midnight Burger! And I may well re-binge Midst next :3

I listen to most of those and a favorite of mine not on your list is The White Vault.

Also, not quite in the same genre, but Midnight Burger is absolutely excellent as well!

How many of these do we have?

Hey, I'm Pat. Technically got the best grade applause but didn't deserve it, *insert bully's name* did.

(Whispered into my ear by my grade 6 teacher who contributed to my being massively bullied in a tiny school.)

More and more I see books used as decor. It is both interesting and unsettling, as if they serve no other purpose.

Hey! You! The writer reading this. You should be writing!

*Looks at self in the mirror*

Yeah. YOU!

if you’re a non-black author who decides to write a black mc, you absolutely need to take responsibility for the gross reception and erasure done to said character from your own reader base and speak tf up. there’s no reason you should let racism and colorism fly within your own fandom.
