This is exactly what Lyse asked of me, and I think I delivered~ And she brought in M'naago for good measure!

It gave me the chance to finally meet @lyses-good-boy.bsky.social. 12/10 would tease again~

Good lord, M’naago, do you have those weapons registered with the proper authorities??

I’m with you on that, I just hope we can get a candidate who wants more than just to go “back to normal” because I do think Obama and Biden at least kinda fucked us over by letting “bygones be bygones” and trying to “heal” rather than bring the hammer down on the endless crimes party, heh

The one in three of our neighbors who voted for Trump because I think leftists and centrists endlessly spinning our wheels at each other ignores the people who actually deserve our wrath.

I think both of those points are unequivocally true, yeah, but I also don’t blame anyone who couldn’t square their conscience with voting for Harris when she wouldn’t give a straight answer about the genocide. I’d much rather work together with moderates on what to do about-

Moderates like to call it “purity testing” and that grinds my gears so much because I think people should be allowed to have solid boundaries without being accused of aiding the Nazis. Sorry if I came off rude earlier or anything, I’m also perfectly fine with disagreeing respectfully 😅

I don’t think Harris supporters are pro-genocide or Newsom supporters are anti-trans by default, it just gets frustrating when people yell at anyone who criticized Harris or Newsom on those perfectly valid points and accuses them of basically supporting Trump.

I hear you, that’s why people are pushing back now against what looks like a fairly clear push from moderate Dems for the last year-plus to put him at the head of the pack

Started Hellsguard because I’m a big guy and Roes are Big Guy: The Race, played with canonically retiring him after Endwalker and played a Lost Hrothgar for Dawntrail MSQ, but ultimately couldn’t keep the big man down so I switched back to Roe and relegated the tiger man to retainer duty!

Oooh, she’s gorgeous! I love the top/bra combo too, that’s such a stylish look

I love her outfit here! What a killer look

We don’t really need to argue about Trump at this point because he and his administration are going in a series of holes and I think that’s generally agreed upon. Everyone knows he’s evil, we’re trying to get a Dem who isn’t also evil, and that’s sure not Newsom.

Telling you now, Newsom will lose. Find someone else. You have 2 years.

Oh I do like the Ishgardian bald eagle griffins a lot too, dang; I’ll have to look into that! I was just stoked to have Ala Mhigo’s national symbol as a mount to put on my MNK hotbar haha

The way it sounds like they were SURPRISED that the real actors sound better than Basically Siri is fucking BLEAK. GenAI tech is like, 2 years old and known dogshit and they’ve still managed to trick themselves into thinking it’s been here forever

Oh my god please do and post it the SECOND you do, I adore that art

Ox needs a true griffin, I lost my mind when I found out it was a second Ananta society mount, partly because Ala Mhigan, partly because roegadyn look ridiculous on way too many mounts, but the griffin is so huge it looks right proportionally

Eventually folks are going to have to grapple with the fact that a lot of our neighbors are mouth-breathing bigots who love fascism and that’s gonna have to be addressed beyond “look what Trump turned this country into”

Fucking wild that people are still trying to act like Trump caused all our problems and they will be solved the second he’s out of office; for one thing it’s been a decade now, and also, the last time he got out of office he never went away and things only got worse.

White boys working for DOGE did not get indoctrinated into white supremacy for their boss’s purposes. They were suited to the work for being white supremacists. Trump did not make his cult racist. He exploited white America’s preexisting racism. We’re not infantilizing white supremacists.

my other hot take on birth rate discourse is that I really really don’t much care for seeing specifically *cis men* casually chatter about it.

Probably would have if we’d gotten to have a primary but instead Biden decided he was gonna run again and then decided he wasn’t so Harris just got coronated as the nominee instead

you can't be mad at trans people for not trusting democrats when close to half a million of us were forced to flee our homes while biden was still president and did nothing to protect us in red states.

you can't be mad at college kids for not doing as many mass protests right now after you cheered for them being beaten, kidnapped, arrested, and harassed when they protested under biden. you wanted anti-insurrection tactics used on them and you got it.

you can not blame leftists and anti-genocide protesters for kamala's loss without first explaining why asking them to stop arming and protecting a genocide was not a reasonable request.

The Torna battle theme has been my wake-up alarm since the OST came out on iTunes and it almost certainly isn’t changing anytime soon

They always frame objectively good and rad ideas as bad somehow
