Post rant edit: I realized in rereading my rant that I apparently accidentally deleted part of it, but I am so heated I have no idea wtf is missing. Oh well.

End of fucking rant.

You wanna know why I own a fucking gun? Because I will never be a victim to the worst of society EVER AGAIN and I REFUSE to let those I love suffer the same fate!

After everything I've survived, all I've ever wanted was to live a quiet life with the people I love and to be left alone. Yet it seems no matter where I go, no matter how good things get, there is always the threat of violence against me and mine looming on the horizon. I'm fucking tired.

Hell, there was talk recently about Trans people being barred from owning guns. I'm not some sicko who wants to shot up a school or use violence to solve my problems like the vermin who used violence against me.

I've lost people I cherish from those same kinds of people. I'm all for gun control, I'm unbelievably pro mental health, but I am 100% against getting my 2A rights taken away because bad people do bad things.

I grew up in poverty in a VERY violent and crime ridden small town outside a city that (at the time) had one of the highest crime rates in the country. I've been shot, I've been stabbed, I have scars all over my body from people wanting to assert their dominance over me with violence.

I didn't think it was that bad. Better that Dominion and Fallen Kingdom in my book. I did find it funny that they basically had a plot that could have let them run wild with wacky designs, and outside the movies everything looked fairy "normal."

I often use the phrase "I'm held together by duct tape and spite," when life gets... Lifey, l so this is definitely going to be the next piece I get. Also, please make it a t-shirt as well!

Got paid and ordered my print today! Now I just gotta grab a frame and find a spot in the office for it!

With Dilophosaurus being my favorite dinosaur, I have been waiting for this piece to be done and it's so GOOD!

I've been reading MTG novels for 20 years, and when they stopped making them I started reading their online stories. The only time I would think "a movie over a TV show" is if it's a climax to a multi-series event. War of the Spark can be a movie. All the Bolas up to that point can be a show.

BattleTech was one of the franchises that got me into Sci-Fi. I recently came back to it after decades away (a story for another time) and as a trans woman, I am so happy to see such support. To instantly know a community is welcoming really helps with diving back into it.
