Basically, if I have to jump through hoops to tolerate you when your philosophies cry out for the destruction of my friends, I ain’t jumpin’.

AND ANOTHER THING don't worry about the VF paywall, just search "Vanity Fair" on any social media and you'll find pretty much all the photos in all their magnificence.

This is a building full of self-promoting, self-aggrandizing idiots, grifters, and yes-beings who are In Over Their Head (check how much wall height is visible above and behind them). It's a glorious exercise in visual expression. And satire. And sarcasm. And anger. 6/6

Check the rumpledness of the people - the Brobdignadian close-ups on injection sites, botox scars, premature wrinkling and dehydration marks. The choice of unhemmed pants, pretending to button a non-existent coat button on a 1 button coat, the squirrely hair, the unkempt makeup. 2/?

Don't worry about the VF Paywall, just search "Vanity Fair" on any social media site and you'll be able to see pretty much every photo. --- One of the overriding themes in the Vanity Fair photoshoot is how These People Do Not Belong Here and This Place Is Going To Hell. 1/?

She perked right up (“it me!”) looks around for the source of the bellow and saw me. “TOBIAS!!!” “WHERE?!?!??” Laughing and hugs ensued. At Faire, at her request, I am now obligated to greet her with that declaration.

True story: one of my friends transitioned and came to Renfair as a new character. I came to viait, saw her at a table in character, and could not remember her character name. In a mild panic I engaged my diaphragm and bellowed “OI! GIANT WOMAN!!!!”

Acyn (quoting Donald Trump): AOC is Low IQ.  If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard... They're really aptitude coignitive tests.  Let AOC go against Trump.

HAY GUYZ I CAN TUNE THE 20 GAUGE HIGH G TO A LOW G AND IT DOES NOT SUCK

I have had multiple people call me a bard OUTSIDE of a Renfair environment this week, and I am 100% not certain how I feel about that beyond "I ... am RESISTANT to calling myself that"

So now I'm gonna screw around with lowball-tuning the high G string and when I want a low G strung banjolele, I guess I have to use my father's banjolele, which I inherited. Yes, I can say "This is my father's banjolele" which is a phrase almost no one is prepared to hear.

TODAY I LEARNED that since an Banjolele from the Outdoor Ukulele Company of Bend, OR is designed to take a high G (20) string - specifically in the clever slotty thing at the tailpiece - One cannot restring it with a low G (40) string.

This man was the epitome of "gusto" out there. We all wanted to be him, or at least be around him when he was out there in the dust because he was one of The Ones That Made This Faire. An all-around Good Fellow. Tell stories and rile the crowd. He'd love that.

Some people apparently have very strong takes on whether it's required to have a take, and some mean names to go with them. My point is that when everyone else already has a take about something you don't feel like investing your mental energy in, it's cool to sit this one out. Take the day off.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.
