Living my cozy dream in the woods of Hebden Bridge. Usually found walking the hills with my dog or painting warhammer minis.

Recent hobbying: Trying to paint a dwarf blood bowl team for the local club league starting up next month, but I’m not excited by these models. Maybe because of the recent rules changes? Painted the dank manifestations and rebased 40 goblins instead!

Raiding my childhood to repurpose 4th edition archers/spearmen into 4th edition shootas/stabbas.

#warhammercommunity #ageofsigmar #nerdlings
A wooden table with pile of warhammer miniatures, some roughly painted, most raw plastic. The left pile is night goblin archers, the right pile is goblin spearmen, both from warhammer fantasy battles 4th edition starter set. In front of them is a pile of round bases for the models. Geordi La Forge looking sad, with one hand held out in a “stop” gesture: “spending £100 on 80 gitz”. Geordi La Forge looking impressed, pointing in a “that’s right” gesture: “Spending £9 on round bases”.

My finished entry for @travellingmanuk.bsky.social #ageofpainttober : Tiger Marine stalking the forest. “But where are his stripes?” I didn’t want to risk ruining the best space marine I ever painted 🤷🏻‍♂️

Trying my hand at the @travellingmanuk.bsky.social #ageofpainttober challenge this year and here’s my mystery haul. I got a Space Marine intercessor… built so many of these for my blood angels army 😩 I was really hoping for an #ageofsigmar model!

Finished off my second unit of Rockguts. Inverted the blue/purple from the first unit. I dont think the palette is as good, prefer the higher contrast of the blue ones, but they look pretty neat side by side.

Screen cap from the Teletubbies wiki page that says “Dipsy is 8 feet tall and is green.” “8 feet tall” is highlighted. Screen shot from Veep of Vice President Selina Meyer with the caption “(laughing nervously) what the fuck?”

Lowering the flags on 9/11 at the Guantanamo Bay McDonald's for Charlie Kirk is the most dril tweet thing that's ever happened
carolrosenbergnyt.bsky.social Carol Rosenberg @carolrosenbergnyt.bsky.social · Sep 11
The flags were lowered last night around the base by order of President Trump after the killing of Charlie Kirk and will stay at half-staff on this U.S. outpost in southeast Cuba until sunset on Sunday.

I finished painting my primal manifestations last night. Thought I’d knock these out pretty quickly but I got a bit fixated on the gnashing jaws - already nicknamed “joker teeth” at the lgc

Extremely tired of being bombarded by microsoft’s AI propaganda.
A microsoft windows 10 screensaver image. There is text over a beautiful rocky mountains landscape. The text reads “AI is helping create the ‘library of the future’ in Colorado.

I finished painting these two at the same time a couple of weeks ago. Fungus and Mildew, my Dankhold Troggoths, neither of which is in my current army list! #ageofsigmar #warhammercommunity #gloomspitegitz #miniaturepainting
A warhammer minature Dankhold Troggboss, nicknamed “Fungus”. A giant bright pink troggoth (troll) brandishing a broken off stalagmite club in one hand and crushing a giant centipede with the other.

Lot’s of great jokes about one war criminal nominating another for the peace prize, and I sincerely hope the letter is used for toilet paper, but then you remember that the Nobel Committee previously awarded that prize to Henry Kissinger…

Today I learned (via @jamieloftus.bsky.social ‘s 16th Minute pod) that NewGrounds.com started as a NEO•GEO fanzine in the 90s and suddenly the name makes so much sense.

I think teenage me assumed it started as a genuine dot-com news site???

Finding out for the first time that Studio Ghibli’s Grave of the Fireflies is based on a short story of the same name, which is in turn based on real life experience of the author, who wrote it as a personal apology to his younger sister…

I saw someone making a thread of songs they obsessed over so they could look back over them later, which seemed like a fun idea.

Finding out that I have gallstones 1 month before my 40th birthday is just comically perfect timing. Just “lmao, time for your body to fall apart”.

It’s absolutely criminal that anti-trans bigots are considered “experts on gender dysphoria” but actual trans people, you know, the ones who may actually have gender dysphoria, are “biased” and therefore can’t be consulted or listened to

"Wes Streeting is considering banning cross-sex hormones after two experts on gender dysphoria warned there were severe health risks associated with prescribing the drugs to children." [Times]

Most studies, of course, find that this is complete bullshit.
Streeting may ban teens from receiving cross-sex hormones Sanchez Manning Wes Streeting is considering banning cross-sex hormones after two experts on gender dysphoria warned there were severe health risks associated with prescribing the drugs to children. The health secretary began “actively reviewing” whether the medication should continue to be prescribed to children under 18 after new evidence was presented from leading Finnish and Swedish clinicians, the New Statesman has revealed. Cross-sex hormones are drugs that bring about largely irreversible changes, such as causing females to develop deeper voices and initiating breast growth in males. Last week it was disclosed in a High Court case that the government was reviewing the “next steps”, including potentially banning the prescription of the drugs to young people — similar to the ban on puberty blockers last year. The disclosure came during an attempt to bring a judicial review, which was ultimately rejected, against Streeting’s decision not to ban cross-sex hormones for children at the same time that he banned puberty blockers. Representing Streeting, the barrister Iain Steele said the decision by the government to seek advice from an expert working group set up by NHS England was based on new evidence presented in the case. It has now emerged that this consists of reports by Professor Jovanna Dahlgren, from Sweden, and Professor Riittakerttu Kaltiala, from Finland, who have worked with hundreds of genderquestioning children and outlined concerns about the dangers of the drugs. The Department for Health and Social Care said that “children’s healthcare must always be led by evidence”. It added: “We are continuing our work with the NHS to reform gender services to ensure young people receive timely, holistic care and support, while reviewing the use of cross-sex hormones in line with recommendation eight of the Cass review.” #TransAgendaClips
