““I curse in the name of the Lord this new Barbie movie that has been released full of transsexual, and transgender, and homosexuality,” said Christmas, in footage from his sermon posted on Twitter. “The Barbie film has not yet been released and the plot has been kept tightly under wraps,” noted Jake McKee for PinkNews. “More specifically, it’s not clear if the film is actually ‘full of transsexual, and transgender, and homosexuality’, as Christmas claimed. The film’s tagline is: 'If you love Barbie, this movie is for you. If you hate Barbie, this movie is for you.’””

The Rainbow Guard of King Renly Baratheon, First of His Name
“Winter will never come for the likes of us. Should we die in battle, they will surely sing of us, and it’s always summer in the songs. In the songs all knights are gallant, all maids are beautiful, and the sun is always shining.”
Finally, the Rainbow Guard in all their glory. I love how they look with the bright colours capturing Renly's very vibrant court of the south, but do still come across as professional killers outfitted for war.
I'm also really happy with the basing here. They're on the original trays for the war game, which usually leaves quite noticeable rings around each figure, but I've gone for very lush grass and foliage and they blend very nicely while still being removable. I wanted to capture Renly's place as a mix of Reach and Stormlands, so there's some rugged rock and pine, and some glorious flower fields.
More patriotic than the national anthem. Happy July 4th!
me: “yeah I dated a guy in high school who came out as gay. it was before i knew i was a boy so needless to say it didn’t work out”
coworker: “damn dude was preordering”
other things this coworker (who is a cis guy) has done/said:
—got confused about why I’d never been a boy scout because he forgot i was trans
—told me he was gonna get top surgery scar tattoos to match me after i get mine
—laughs at all my trans jokes, even if they’re supremely unfunny
—calls me big dog (and him little dog) even though he is about as tall as two of me
— “I can’t believe she would say that transphobic thing to you. In June? Pride month?”
Once I said "My gender is whatever's funniest at the time" and my coworker stops dead in his tracks, turns slowly and says "So are your pronouns honk/honk?" killing me instantly
Sculptor, chess enthusiast, and Barsoom/Edgar Rice Burroughs fan James Killian Spratt, created a unique hand made version of Jetan, or a Martian Chess Set.
In the novel, the Chessmen of Mars, a barbaric nation on Barsoom played a living game of chess where people dueled and died for real. Actual rules for the game of Martian Chess, which could be played with labeled checker pieces, were included in the back of the book.
As both an Edgar Rice Burroughs fan and a lover of chess, I’ve found that I had to modify the rules of Jetan somewhat to make it playable, since the overwhelming outcome of nearly all Jetan games as is, is a tie. It was after all, originally created to fit an adventure story.
ppl are like “yeah society hates when women do unwomenly things” and youre like “yeah like being a man” and theyre like “well no actually theyre ok with that :)”
