Tacticool Girlfriend

I'm thankful to have seen as much from my end with a slew of new people excited to find less alienating inroads towards their interest in firearms - the entire reason I ever agree to engage with the media in the first place.

of what is novel and a loss of a deeper meaning around the motivations around why so many of us arm and train as we do.

On a more positive note, and the one I was really holding out for since this article was pitched, was the directing of more newcomers seeking out less toxic resources and events

competitors, highlighting polyamory and kink of all things, both of which have absolutely nothing to do with the event itself. None of those things are found at the crux what it even largely means to be marginalized in our society, let alone an armed minority. It certainly can read as a flattening

this is an article written by a large tech publication that will inevitably suffer from some degree of outsider blind spots as well as a drive to sell the story with some degree of sensation. I do think there was a pretty baffling fixation on surface-level lifestyle characterizations of some of the

Some additional thoughts on the Wired article, spurred by A Better Way 2A's post elsewhere about this (thank you):

I certainly had some mixed feelings about certain aspects of the article, but think the impact is largely positive. That said, I also tried to set some realistic expectations -

They have been for a very long time, but we aren't going anywhere.

What a time to be at the intersection of all these matters, and yet here we are, thriving! Community is everything, and I'm forever grateful for the opportunities and the people to build more and more of it with. 🙏

Sadly, not this time. Hoping for a big foot ewok combo encounter next round.

Yep, he is stepping away to focus more on his family, which is incredibly understandable. He issued a statement here: www.instagram.com/p/DQVA61DEdn_/

“You are welcome here” - The Advent of Marginalized Gun Culture in the U.S. — The Madison Journal of Literary Criticism One day in the fall of 2024, I was forced to reckon with how I, and many of my peers, understand gun ownership in the United States. In a class discussion about police shootings, the professor challen...

Ronan Piontek interviewed both Jordan (formerly from A Better Way 2A) and I about our perspectives on self defense and carving out space away from mainstream gun culture, especially for minorities and others who have conventionally felt left out. Give it a read!

That said, it's a lot of weight on an already heavy helmet with your counterweight and night vision. This stuff is simply not good for your cervical spine. I only have a helmet as a mounting solution for my night vision, but your mileage may vary.

It depends entirely on your use case, if you feel you need a ballistic helmet or not. Personally, I opt not to.. those are generally intended for protection against shrapnel from things like mortar rounds, grenades, etc.. but often have a 3A rating if you're worried about handgun rounds.

I've spoke to folks going to Myanmar about this. Visual concealment is a lot easier, thermals is when it gets weird. But simple things like carrying an umbrella will at least mask your thermal signature from overhead. No doubt, tunneling is only going to become a more common form of avoidance.

I love Civ Div! Drones weren't permitted in the SOP for this event (many other milsim events are the same). That certainly would change the dynamic though, and it's interesting to game this out. Being autumn, certain areas had more cover than others but there certainly are areas of good concealment.

It's so good! Glad you found such a treasure.

I've got yet another compilation of airsoft event footage up, complete with woods, bunkers, a coastal artillery battery, grenades, night vision, and an enemy team getting rolled. This was a fun one, check it out!

Just a lil' airsoft battle.

My sincerest apologies to the dude in this room. A compilation of more footage from this event to drop soon, stand by.

I have a few first cousins once removed that live there still, but thankfully it seems they're alright, thank you.

This may also be a good time to take notes and apply some of these concepts to clothing donations for your local unhoused population.

I can't tell you how many people I've known who own a closet full of rifle builds but couldn't even survive a day in their own backyard in the cold months. This is a highly underrated topic, far more practical than any firearm, and this video addresses it eloquently.

Amazing, thank you for sharing this!

My bad. I had it set to remind me before posting if I hadn't entered alt text, but that feature doesn't seem to be working anymore.

A gift from elders that I will always cherish, this refreshing book is incredibly difficult to put down and will certainly be picked back up when the mood strikes again.

It was nearly impossible to choose excerpts to share here - I would post the whole book if I could. Every passage is a mountain of wisdom playfully told, a timeless and colorful quilt woven by queer survival and breaking free that rings powerfully true from its era to ever more relevant today.
