A "roll of arms," a grid of heraldric shields showing various crests and patterns.

In traditional European heraldry, there are colors and metals (silver/white, gold/yellow). The rule is you never put a metal on a metal, or a color on a color.

It's a rule for readability reasons - you want contrast. You want to be able to read it clearly on a battlefield. That said, it's a rule.

We forgot the reality of innocent until PROVEN guilty. When it’s really guilty until proven innocent UNLESS you have money then yes

We don't talk enough about how any contact at all with the criminal punishment system can destroy your life. The arrest, the court dates, missing work and other associated costs etc... People who aren't proximate to this really have no idea.

I just want to know where these ppl think ChatGPT got the em dash

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

extremely noticeable that I have seen exactly zero black DC residents asked to write about how they feel about Trump's occupation and/or DC's crime.

So I know I’ve been slacking off on posting here recently but I have news. 😉 ALPHA AND I GOT MARRIED IN DECEMBER!!! 🥰🥰🥰

if they want to go back to the 1950s, we’re bringing the cuisine back to the 1950s too. you put me in the kitchen, I will spend 100% of my time in there finding how much horseradish and shrimp I can put in Jello before God personally comes down here to stop me.

YouTube video by FuckYeahGoodOmens Terry Pratchett about writing near 75% of Good Omens (from ArmadaCon III, 1991)

Was recently pointed out to this video of Sir Terry Pratchett saying that he wrote 75% of Good Omens

Thought it'd be of interest to the TL

I’m slowly going through and changing my username on all of my socials. It’s time for an overhaul and rebrand - especially now that I’ve gotten married & changed my actual name too. 😉🤘🏻

The only emoji that should be associated with AI is 🤖, though personally I go with 🤮

Maybe now that more of my usual circle of friends are moving over here I’ll actually use it more 😅😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Me in a black T shirt, the front print reads YOU WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH ME in trans pride colours

Me in a black T shirt with the front print TRANS RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS in trans pride colours

Me in a black T shirt, the front print is of a T Rex with the words BIGOTS GET THE BITEY all in trans pride colours

In #TransAwarenessWeek (every week!) a reminder that allies are everywhere, listening, believing, speaking up - but not over - and resisting ✊

The Tshirt in pic 1 is by @steviebees.bsky.social

Ugh… my fiancé and I successfully avoided the plague for almost 4 years… only to get it now. We’re on day 6 since diagnosis and we still haven’t got much energy.
The worst part? We were in the process of scheduling our new COVID boosters when we got it 😓😓

Which has saved my bacon more than once when I had cell service turned off but was still able to use iMessages to keep in contact with my family members.

My cat, Jack Sparrow, occasionally plays fetch. 😅🤣

This. Yes, it is Trans Awareness Week. But honestly, I don't need awareness, sometimes, things would be easier if people were less aware of me.

What we actually need is legislation. Legal recognition. Protection. Affirmative healthcare.
And maybe a different society.

I’m right there with said people in wondering WTF got Wishbone cancelled?! 😭😭😭

There's nothing like major home repair to make me feel like I'm just six little goblins in a trenchcoat loudly arguing over how to correctly approximate a grown human's actions.

This can't be fooling anyone?!

...and yet, somehow I'm allowed to write checks.

Joe Manchin Privately Told Colleagues Parents Use Child Tax Credit Money On Drugs The West Virginia senator just killed Democrats' agenda. In private negotiations, he questioned whether the poorest Americans would spend financial aid wisely.

In honor of Joe Manchin retiring, let’s remember the fact that he single-handedly ended the Child Tax Credit, one of the most effective anti-poverty pieces of legislation in recent history, because he thought parents would use that money for drugs.

Omg I’m so excited!!!!!!!! *squee!!!*

Yes, but I’m specifically asking about the Great Salt Lake Desert for a reason. I was born and raised in SE Idaho, in the northern part of said desert (the town of which falls under the Snake River Plain.) I’m not a native Oregonian.

Off the top of my head & in no particular order - @seananmcguire.bsky.social , @tkingfisher.bsky.social (under both names - T. Kingfisher and Ursula Vernon), J.D. Robb, Anne Bishop, @kbspangler.com , Patricia Briggs, and Ilona Andrews. Yes, there’s definitely a bit of a pattern here 😅🤷🏻‍♀️

Hence why in the program passed out when you first came in it was listed like so:

THE LORD’S PRAYER
DOXOLOGY

Or so:

THE LORD’S PRAYER/DOXOLOGY

😅🤷🏻‍♀️

But most people don’t realize that they’re 2 different things. Because they’re said all together, and try as I might, I can’t say them separately. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Great Basin includes the Salt Lake Desert region right?

No wonder most of us vets despise the VA and/or give up on ever being able to actually get the help we need for our health care. I’ve been waiting for months now to do the exam, and now it’s going to be phone tag forever probably 🥺😔

*sigh* I get to deal with the hell that is the provider the VA outsourced my disability claim to in order to ATTEMPT to get my required VA physical done-the last time I attempted to call this place I was on hold for 21 minutes before I couldn’t stand the repetitive high pitched hold music & hung up
