So he's threatening to put HIS people in air traffic control towers? I would suggest that no one flies for a long time because we know how he loves putting HIGHLY incompetent people in positions they have no right being in.

Looking a little rough as I use foam clay around edges to smooth them and fix seams and nicks. Then I'll have to sand it after it dries. This is the time-consuming stuff. #commandershepard #masseffect #cosplay #foam #foamsmith #videogames

I miss writing about video games, but I don't miss the nasty comments, the sexist a-holes, and the general misogyny that is somehow even worse now. I lived through Gamergate as a woman who covered video games, though.

So basically, the shutdown accomplished nothing because those who were supposedly fighting for us are just cowards. Let's make sure to vote the lot of them out.

The plot thickens...and gets SO much better.

Been having some Internet issues the past few days and thought it was down for good this morning. Except I noticed there were no lights on the modem because the cats somehow managed to turn off the power strip the modem and router are plugged into. 🤦

The whole idea of borders is just kind of stupid. "Hey, we own this land and you own the land across this arbitrary invisible make-believe line."
It's the equivalent of two people who share a room splitting that room down the middle and making each stay on their side of the room. It's just STUPID.

So the idiot in charge now wants to send the subsidies directly to the people to buy health insurance instead of giving the insurance companies the money directly? But then it all goes to the insurance companies anyway?
Make it make sense. My head hurts.

I wish I had a Commander Shepard cosplay update photo to share for N7 Day, but I'm just filling in seams and doing boring stuff with the breastplate right now. I'm letting foam clay dry and then doing some sanding, but maybe I'll start working on that collar on my next day off.
