@teamlabouruk.bsky.social ...You guys DO remember the lesson of Neville Chamberlain, right? Goosy goosy gander, and all that? Because this cowardice and bending over for that orange nonce is unbecoming.

They show up in plainclothes with no warrant and drag away dissidents and racial others" who then get transported to camps. *are* the fucking gestapo.

It is fucking BONKERS to me, that the American people aren't in full blown riots right now. "We can't fight the government!" Y'all. Y'ALL. You're ALREADY in the fight! They have camps. They're picking you off in batches, so that there won't be enough of you to fight together. NOW's the time.

Things that happen when you stare at/draw a word for DAYS... the pun stage... dad jokes incoming... What do you say when you're unimpressed with your magical friend? "AbracadaBRUH." We all know about Gandalf the Wizard's pipe... but have you seen his AbracaDabRig?

My dudes, It's not just about whether or not her bigoted message will sneak in, or not. It's about the fact that every dollar that goes to her comforts and aids her in spreading her bullshit. Besides, her racism is *already* present in the canon. She's a shit sandwich, and we're not biting.

More Destreza art

Junkyard Monk @junkyardmonk.bsky.social · 02/05/2025
Some of my Destreza art. folks who know me from real life or other platforms will have seen these, but others might not have, and I'm proud of this work, so I figured I'd share.
A simple version of the more elaborate "Universal Demonstration" diagram- containing mnemonic devices to encode the entirety of Destreza's governing philosophy and empirical geometric foundations.My version of the "Universal Demonstration"- an attempt to capture as much of the theory and praxis of my version/understanding of Destreza, in as little space as possible by encoding data using mnemonic devices similar to those used not only in the historical corpus of the system, but also in other related disciplines of the time period during which Destreza was developed.  Starting from the bottom up, the diagram covers the footwork of the system; then the lines and planes of the human body, as well as explanations of the biomechanics and geometry that govern it; Then descriptions of the movements of the sword and the actions one can take with a blade; and finally the noetic theory that drives the system in regards to timing, offense, defense, and tactical thinking.   Around the diagrams representing the body are set 5 smaller circles- four marked with the classical elements (Earth, Air, Fire, Water) representing physical discipline and holistic fitness: static strength, cardio conditioning, plyometric strength, and flexibility respectively.  The fifth elemental circle sits between the body (the head, specifically) and the theory, inscribed with the symbol for the 5th element: quintessence, mind, spirit.. seen here with the butterfly wings of the goddess Psyche.The bodily proportions of the famous Circle used in the Renaissance Spanish fencing system known as Destreza, here projected onto an isometric squareThe "inferior plane" of Destreza- the most famous aspect of the system- is an imaginary circular diagram projected onto the ground to describe the fight-space in geometric terms.  Seen here projected inside an isometric square.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Lock in a formal coalition, give the NDP two cabinet positions (bring back the women and gender equality office, and the DEI office). Hell, I'd say bring the Greens in too. If PP runs in Edmonton, run only one party in opposition, do not split the vote.

Sketching new ideas. Getting back to my Destreza art, too, but I needed something more experimental to do in the in-between moments. Probably end up doing a series of these. Gonna dial in/practice the components (eyes, wings, faces), then I can plot out large-scale versions

I don't understand how Canadians are not concerned with CONS being members of the IDU, led by Harper, that helps authoritarian dictorships get into power. Don't be naive and don't think that it won't happen here in Canada. The US is falling into an authoritarian dictorship right before our eyes

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.
A tweet by Sarah Longwell (@SarahLongwell25
) reads: "He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. Don’t you see what’s happening here?"

Yeah, let's not forget Kevin was the first person from Canada that went down to try and talk annexation. He's a goddamned traitor and a fascist. If they come over the border, he gets the wall.

When Trump says he wants to move Chinese manufacturing jobs to the US, what he means is that he wants desperate, impoverished Americans working in sweatshop conditions, in factories that have to have suicide nets on the windows.

Harper: a racist authoritarian who renamed the government "the Harper Government" at a cost of millions of taxpayer dollars, tanked the economy, slashed services, & burned climate data to protect his oil buddies. Also, he's a treasonous fanboy of the US alt-right Never again.

Before you go parroting cynical right-wing exhortations that "violence is never the answer" you need to examine what claim you're actually making, and why. First, this is a standard the right sets for the left ONLY - it was never intended to be applied to the right. 1/22

Immediately suspicious of all the New-Agey accounts suddenly telling women to give up hormonal contraception in favor of the rhythm method. In a time when access to abortion is being threatened, anyone who tells you to rely only on the rhythm method is either an idiot or wants you to get pregnant

Of course Poilievre is standing by a candidate who made despicable comments about Indigenous people. When people show you who they really are, believe them.

Remember when Trump screamed at Biden, at the debate, to "Let [Israel] finish the job!"...? Glad so many of my fellow leftists got on their high horses about Biden and Harris' seeming support of the genocide, because Trump is SO much better, right? Morons. By abstaining, you voted for this.
