Apiary

I am currently manufacturing an entire winter’s worth of vitamin D.

It’s me in an extremely fancy costume. I am standing in front of a mirror in the hotel lobby. I’m in the middle of a photoshoot, but the photographer is out of frame

This was my first trip to katsucon, and my two takeaways are:
A) the con goers are mostly in their 20s. And I was happy to be there with some friends my own age.
B) katsu loves a fancy costume. The more fancy, the more love. Congoers do not need to recognize it, as long as it’s fancy.

Yeah, the only thing I wasn’t sure on was rheir exact death years. But they were both on this planet causing statues to eventually be made at the same time.

It’s me dressed as an anime sword boy shaking a statue of Abe Lincoln’s hand.

Managed a cosplay this weekend

600 -700ish+ nuclear warheads on missiles ready to fly 24/7/365 & Trump has virtually unrestricted launch authority.

Protest, mass & other remains necessary.

Contacting Congress—toadying wretches that most of them are—remains necessary.

A diversity of tactics is necessary.

I really wish I could see the per customer spend graph of online fabric stores. Based on their email advertising, I think they make most of their money from fabric hoarding whales.

A screenshot of a Facebook post where a person named Andy ask the Well now “What the hell is transgender?” The Royal Canadian Air Force account response with “That’s a pretty big question asked in a pretty small way, Andy. ‘Transgender’ putting describes someone whose gender – who they know themselves to be – doesn’t match the sex they were assigned at birth. It’s not new, and it’s certainly not a fad. People have lived this experience for as long as people have existed; we’re just finally talking about it openly. You don’t have to fully understand it right away, most learning takes time, but we can always start from a place of respect. That’s how decent folks handle things they’re still getting used to.”

Massive shoutout out to whoever handles the Royal Canadian Air Force’s social media account. They responded to every single comment on their already very solid Trans Day of Remembrance post and they responded like this…

"So that’s why, every year on the day before the last day of Autumn, the town commemorates him with a Bloody Fire Social. Pray Lord Scholar He watch over us and kill all the villains.”

Day 30 - Spooky/Character in Costume

Happy Halloween from Mikkabochan (I know, I know, that was bad). Inspired by some delightful fanart on Twitter - x.com/siokaze58/st... - and my desire to have my own Date Masamune jack-o-lantern. (1/2) #cosplay #costober #刀剣乱舞 #燭台切光忠

Black men legally carrying guns had them so shook that Governor Ronald Reagan signed California's first gun control law in 1967.

Day 15! Something that isn't a reblog! Favorite prop is...

The anchor. Look, it's not often you make something you like so much that you eventually get a tintype taken with it.

That was so much fun.

Day 14 - Smile

Ryukyu trio, AKA forcing @pinnedtogether.bsky.social and @ap1ary.bsky.social to take cute summer photos with me.

Hall cosplay photo, featuring (L to R) Shinsengumi Majima, Original Flavor Majima, Pirate Majima, and the JJBA 'menacing' sound effect. A person dressed as the JJBA 'To Be Cont' sign is laying on the floor in front of them.

Day 13 - Meme

I think the combo of JJBA and Majima Everywhere is like, double-meme. Featuring @pinnedtogether.bsky.social as Pirate Majima, @ap1ary.bsky.social as Shinsengumi Majima, and two very fun strangers we met at D*C dressed as the JJBA sign and sound effects. #cosplay #costober

For those blissfully unfamiliar with Touken Ranbu I feel I should let you know that one of the artifact spirits of a sword manifested as a human being feels that swords are obsolete and carries a gun.

A lot of these dresses were draped over a fairly structured inner layer. It might make some sort of sense to do a chiffon draped suit jacket.

Will Riker wearing a v neck that goes almost down to his dick

thanks, I hate it.

The tag line for every data scoop

Sounds like torture.

This is great, can you use alt text going forward?
