A good musician friend of mine saw this elsewhere and sent it to me saying that they instantly thought of me...Whelp, if the shoe fits, guess I'll wear 'em proudly. "Well, feel something in B-flat, motherfucker." I think this may become my new new catch phrase. I only say it because I care. 🤣🤣🤣

Personally, I think "Stasi" is more appropriate, but "Gestapo" fits well, too. I also think that a more proper spelling of the official organization's name should use "SS" in place of the "C."

New quiver project complete! Made to hold 18 arrows, with 3 carry options: hip, back, or baldric. I'm not in any way a skilled leather worker, but thankfully I am pretty good at making functional stuff. I'm quite pleased with the results on this one. #archery #traditionalarchery

For the archery history nerds, the quiver is my late father's Bear Archery #3250 Mohican, originally purchased in 1969, the year we started the sport (I was 4). Yes, it's still in fantastic shape, and yes, I do still use it. #Archery #BearArchery #TraditionalArchery

First dozen arrows complete! Used real cheap parts to learn on, but these came out, and fly, way better than expected. Bamboo skinned 500 spine carbon shafts cut to 28", 125g target points, 5" feather fletching. They're very heavy at 520g on average, but I like that: I'm weird, I know. #archery
A set of 12 arrows in an old leather quiver, lying on a colorful rug. One of the arrows is outside the quiver resting across it. The arrows are carbon shafts with a bamboo appearance, fletched with red and yellow feathers, and a black steel point.

Patriotism is not just waving a flag. It is fighting for the promise of a country where everyone can live, love, and pursue happiness without asking permission.
It means loving who you love in a country that has tried to legislate you out of existence, and refusing to disappear.
It means voting, protesting, serving, building families, and living openly, even when politicians turn your life into a talking point.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

To elaborate on WHY Bluesky's auto-moderation stuff is disastrous, it's at least partially done by AI, and it flags ENTIRE ACCOUNTS, rather than posts. Someone once posted a lingerie pic two years ago? Sexual! Vanished unless you un-do the spell. Someone was in a bad mood once? Rude flag engaged.
