He/him. DSA Birmingham, Alabama. HEMA, hiking, caving, tabletops.
So I went to a local vendor fair today and ran across a guy who does custom etching/engraving and I happened to have my feder in my car. I will admit the metaphor is a bit more blunt on a sword instead of a guitar.

I know fewer local people on here but if you live in Alabama and in particular are in driving distance to Birmingham, the APT board of directors is meeting to decide whether to cut PBS, if you can make it out on Tuesday to show them how important PBS is to you it would be very helpful.

Finally got the HEMA jacket I ordered back in July, just in time for it to start getting cold enough that I won't die of heat stroke outside

DSA feed is always a joy to follow because these days it's a mix of DSA people posting cool positive stuff and the weirdest anti-DSA people with grievances and lore about the org that are at least 70% made up. I learned today that apparently Bernie Sanders is a member (?) and AOC was but left(??)

One of our regulars got some rapiers and parrying daggers in and we've had a blast with them despite the fact that none of us know how to use the damn things. Keeping track of two hands still perplexes me. #hema

Check it out, they're apparently filming a movie downtown (not something that happens often here) and my partner found some fake movie money that I guess flew away from the set.

would you be surprised to learn that when this guy isn't wilding out that modern historiography doesn't conform to his decades out of date ideas he's also complaining about declining white birth rates
