Sent off for boss sign off on company letterhead. Anxious they'll sign off on it. I need it to apply to take the test and then again to apply for the license itself. A lot of doors can open if I get this.

Im trying painting lately!
This fight is winnable. The extreme backlash from companies like Paypal is wild, but it's also them overplaying their hand, and it's proof that they are genuinely mad at us. They know how we're protesting, and they hate it. That makes it a good protest. So if they ramp up the pressure, we do to.
We keep trying to grow community in soil that has been strip mined and salted by capitalism and then blame ourselves when nothing takes root. You're not a failure, you're fighting a system designed to seperate us. keep fighting. however you can.
Some of us can skeet both, Holly. XD
I have one from both Ural and Honda I enjoy wearing. I think they're the only two corporate logo type shirts I have. XD

All set up at dragon con!! Hope we all have a great day today :)
Typing up my work experience for my Maryland HVAC Master license application and it's wild to think how far I've come in 11 years.
Obligatory holiday weekend BBQ post.
Yet here we skeet, and skeet again. Till all skeet skeet skeet skeet, goddamn.
Skeet and reskeet.
In a lot of ways it's easier. The devil you know, etc.
Anybody recognize this public servant violating 1st amendment rights?
Happy labor day, beskies. Go listen to some Woody Guthrie, eat a hot dog, and throw a rock at a Pinkerton.
Happy Labor Day, comrades 🫡
A real treat today, Alex Szekely’s 1935 album of drawings telling of an unexpected but delicious encounter with a young women who is more than willing to explore the depths of shared intimacy. Important drawings from one of our favourite artists – all at honesterotica.com/portfolios/5....
Yes that's by design, thank you for noticing.
We have a show toniiiiiiiiiiiiight
Happy Labor Day, my fellow workers! To celebrate I'm home in the backyard in this perfect weather and... What's that? ... ...I'm laboring?! Sonofa ..
Oligarchs own the newspapers and television and radio and now social media we rely on for information. Oligarchs gonna oligarch. Same as it ever was.
Here in the DC area I went from $50k to 100 by joining the union. It was the only way we had any hope of having a child. With a Goblin and the price increases it feels as tight again as it did before.
Happy Labor Day 🙂
Is this a ferry terminal? Do you have to tie your bikes down on the ferry or they park just fine?
Happy Halloween Eve!
It's true. I'm always happy to see other motorcycles, no matter how big or small, and I don't mind cyclists as long as they follow the same traffic rules I do. Cars suck.
What are those gloves? I like the look.

Nobody healthy wants violence but self-defense is a human right. The 2nd Amendment isn't about hunting. Exercise your rights before you give them away. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLAH...
"The Republican Party wants to pull YOUR teenage daughter's pants down in the middle of gym class if they think she's too good at lacrosse, this is vile and depraved and only the start of their intrusive government overreach" should be the party line and I don't think it's a heavy lift
Again, we apologize to the river witch for accidentally using her cauldron for the Sunday brunch lobster bisque. Please turn our chef back into a human.
Nobody healthy wants violence but self-defense is a human right. Arm yourself and train your community. Not to invite violence but make it too costly to be a target. We keep us safe.
Nothing of value was lost.
an illustration i've made for the "Dark Fairies" zine! 🦋
Jokes aside, US Parks Police is notorious in DC for being especially brutal. They terrorize unhoused neighbors, trashing their belongings if they try to set up a tent & constantly waking up anyone trying to catch some sleep on a bench.
If I had $2k to spend I would have come home with this.
ICYMI, there's never been a better time to dive into the All My Fantasy Children podcast🎃 Live show tomorrow on the @moonshotpods.bsky.social stream? Yerp New episodes starting September? Gyyyerp A lore refresher for new and olde listeners of AMFC? YUUUUUUUUUUP WE BACK
Residents are finding all sorts of ways to fight ICE: They're recording and reporting. They're wheatpasting and sharing know-your-rights materials. And they're stepping up to care for each other, from delivering groceries to walking kids to school. 51st.news/dc-residents...
I waited hours for this cloud to come near the lake #lightning strike reflection.
Go get some of that good good heat from @soltian.bsky.social and tell em Bobcat sentcha!
Current office view. Among my people.
Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑
Just what I was thinking.
And they're also just a super nice and cool person. You should definitely support their wonderful art.
They want to bring this back but are too shy to admit it. youtu.be/TLlCUPm5jP4?...
I used to and really enjoyed it when it was mostly just picking rocks and flowers. They forced in a lot more combat which isn't what I was looking for.
The Free State of Florida is now trying to ban *sidewalk chalking*
Oligarchs gonna oligarch. Same as it ever was.
I cannot overstate just how awful this stupid fucking bill proposal is - adding backdoors into encryption on OS level - "sniff" every single message before it gets encrypted AND SAVE IT CENTRALLY - let a goddamn hallucinating "AI" mark people as criminals it needs to be stopped, post haste
Ten Individual First Aid Kits (IFAKs) & extra wound packing gauze has arrived. We’re getting these out to folks hitting the ground protecting our community & documenting the violence of the federal occupation. Thank you to all who have donated & made this possible. We keep us safe.
Me on The Rumors,
“An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.” This is amazing! They love Ai so much, it’s funny to see Ai backfire! 🥳🎉
Bucee becomes an insurgent leader. We are all eager beavers.
Always open to new ideas.
Me at work.
Fuck Newsome. Won't get my vote. If you are okay with Death Marches, fuck you too.
The Death Marches will continue until the aesthetics of poverty improves.
Inshallah!
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”
As an HVAC guy who just tries to survive the summers, this is paradise. I still get sweaty but I'm not in as much danger. XD
Nice catch!
@capitalweather.bsky.social Beautiful sunrise over Alexandria this morning 🌅
Oh my heart! <3
I love how you use light in your work. Thank you for sharing.
Hell yeah. You want to help? Be loud.
NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...
Don't think you can come for me unless you make shrimp risotto from shrimp stock of boiled heads from bulk buys. Unless it has a bit of sour cream and chipotle hot sauce don't even try. Don't even try.
What if it all works out today?
Calling victims of domestic violence, of hate crimes, the elderly and vulnerable, that they're gun nut wannabe murderers because they chose to defend themselves with a firearm but you might forgive them in the moment? GTFO soggy breadbowl soaked with privilege. Magical Thinking is real.
We're all somewhere on the "First they came for..." list. They could be tyrants in a nice suit and corner office downtown or in a ratty outfit hanging out on the corner in your neighborhood. Magical Thinking won't suddenly change that. Self defense is a human right.
I wish the world was different but it's not and no amount of magical thinking will make it suddenly better. If you're not responsible for your safety and you trust the cops to protect you, that's a nice comfy position to be in. I can't, so I'm keeping mine. Muting you. Good luck with all that.
Who says I don't? Options are just options. You're saying everyone who defends themselves against attackers, where the person committing the crime happened to die, a murderer. Elderly folks, victims of domestic violence and hate crimes? That's nuts to me.
No, I don't want murder and that's a wild assumption. I just want to defend myself, family and community the best way I can from immediate threats. Actual systemic and cultural change takes time. Threats exist here and now, and vulnerable people have the same right of self-defense as the powerful.
Who wants murder? Nobody healthy wants violence. Assuming the vast majority of people just trying to defend themselves actually want to kill anyone is nuts. Also assuming we don't do things to for our community, or support systemic change is nuts. I can't fight for shit and guns exist so I carry.
"Shouldn't have to" do a lot of things, but the world is what it is and magical thinking won't change it. People want to hurt folks like me and my family for reasons, so I'm keeping mine to defend myself, family and community. Most folks with guns think the same. Magical thinking is what's nuts.
All My Fantasy Children LIVE on 9/1!?!? YES INDEED!!! @jeffstormer.gobirds.online and I will be creating an entirely new princess character on the spot! Joiiiiiin uuuuus 🎃
"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.
Sex work is 1000% more honorable and socially beneficial than working as an ICE agent.
No, really? You going to arm up and help? Going to organize range days for your community? Help your neighbors get their wear and carry permits?
I love both of you.
Don't believe what you see, only believe what the Dear Leader says is true. Trump Administration Celebrates Successes for America’s Workers – The White House share.google/nOQQQ25tKC4v...
What do you want? More violence? I just want to keep my family and community safe.
I love my job. I will not quit. I love my job. I will not quit. I love my job. I will not quit. I love my job. I will not quit. I love my job. I will not quit. I love my job. I will not quit.
Your state may vary. In Maryland it absolutely is.
It is, at least in Maryland. I've not had required classes for permission to vote and a background check for every vote and I can't get my guns by mail.

This imagery is the kind of thing you see in video games to let you know you’re in a totalitarian city or country.
We saw you use "ewok" in your Starwars text. It looks like you are trying to hide use of the prohibited idea of "woke" and Freedom Enforcement has been notified and is on the way.
