We should always share food, but now more than ever, if we have it to share, we have to share. And we have to respect the dignity of hunger and make people as joyful as possible to come and eat.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.

And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

When I see Cory Booker up there, I think about seniors & disabled & financially disadvantaged folks who can’t stand in line for hours to advocate for themselves.

Cory is putting his body on the line to stand up for those who can’t.

That’s how Congress is supposed to use the power of the people.

Three of Ephilim's Pandaemonium warband from Warhammer Underworlds. One has five arms and is painted red like Elmo (tickle me!), the next is a Big Bird of Change in bright yellow with orange legs, and the last one in Cookie Monster blue has a body lined with teeth. Can you tell me how to get, how to get away from here now?

TFW when you decide on a pretty original-feeling color scheme and then you realize it's just #Animorphs informing every aspect of your being.

Skaeth the Huntsman from Skaeth's Wild Hunt Warhammer Underworlds warband accidentally painted up to look like an Andalite from K.A. Applegate's Animorphs series circa 1995.

I've wanted this team ever since I got into Warhammer Underworlds, and they were a blast to paint! Went a little Red Hulk on one and Punisher/Ghost Rider on another. Can't wait to play them!

These already had a bit of blue when I got them, so I leaned in and decided to try ash bases instead of sand. More monochromatic than I usually go for, but I'm happy with them!

I get the sense that people watched "Legally Blonde" and "The Wedding Singer" and completely missed who the bad guys were, and then voted for them and nominated them for executive branch positions.

I'm realizing that it takes *way* less time to post a painted Warhammer Underworlds warband on BlueSky than it does to paint an unpainted warband...

A reminder to anyone who needs to hear it: "The US experiment has failed" in response to fascists trying to deconstruct democracy is complying in advance. Despair is our opp!

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

It's been a while, but I just finished my Stormcoven band as supervillains! Cheshire, Doom, and Kang! I'm not a comics publisher loyalist, so 🤷🏼

I'm gonna do a thing real quick to illustrate something, so bear with me.

If I were to say "if you're not accommodating people with disabilities, you're an ableist jerk" - what does that stir inside of you?

Especially if you're an organizer, or a boss/manager, a leader of some kind?

Stop mass deportations with this one simple trick: wapo.st/41apYFB (gift link)
Officers have also struggled to meet their quotas because immigrants are refusing to open their doors when ICE officers knock. The enforcement teams generally do not possess criminal arrest warrants that would allow them to force their way into their targets’ homes. ICE officials say they can’t afford to leave teams of officers waiting around for targeted immigrants to exit their homes.

Inspired by a paint job I saw searching for ideas, I am so happy with how this team turned out - even though I can see all the flaws and things that didn't turn out how I pictured.

K, here's my thing about heroes vs. villains. Being good/a hero (and by that I mean, making the best choices one can to help others, do no harm and make shit better) is hard as hell in a world that is often cruel and rewards selfish behavior.

"Good" is a choice you have to make over and over...

Seemed too easy to be accidental. Crosshair was a bit of a stretch, though.

And now on Food Network, the Skinnerkin presented by The Chairman, Guy Fieri, Paula Deen, Alton Brown, and...ManBat?

*this is not an endorsement of any individual, obviously.
Warhammer Underworlds' Skinnerkin warband painted with similar skin tones and clothing aesthetics to very loosely match several 2010's-era Food Network stars, and one that looks like ManBat from Batman.
