In Case You Were Wondering How It's Going For Us Here. There's Me Absolutely Never Reporting A Hate Crime

An extra feature from after I shut the camera off...

This has to be one of the most awesome things that could be achieved with minecraft

Lego Game of Thrones please!

Daily Discussion: What other movies or franchises would you like to see get the Lego game treatment?

There’s been several Lego Star Wars games, Lego Batman, Lego Indiana Jones, Lego Harry Potter and more. What movie, comic book or other franchise would you like to see as a Lego game?

Seeing reasonable people argue about whether or not a fetus is a person is driving me insane. It doesn't matter. it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

If you don't want to live in a world where the government can strap you down and force you to provide a life-saving organ transplant, you don't want to live in a world where the government can force you to carry a pregnancy to term. A person's right to life does not extend to using another person's body to survive.

I have accepted the lack of internal consistency from conservatives (you have to, to stay sane here), but ffs liberals, shut up about fetal personhood. Stop getting dragged into this debate! It is the wrong framing of the issue and I'm honestly terrified of what any "victory" under it would look like (like, increasing the mainstream acceptability of sentences like "they can't even x, therefore they're obviously not a person!" is chilling, no matter the original context.)

I don't have to donate my liver, I don't have to donate my blood, I don't have to donate my fucking uterus. It's that simple.

(could you imagine the "pro-life" conservatives meltdown if a state tried to institute mandatory blood donation?? I imagine they'd be saying "my body, my choice" pretty fucking quickly... Maybe we should actually do that 🤔)

In Other News:

I've been levelling my Paladin (Lysandre) on WoW recently with Amanda, we've just started doing the Blasted Lands quests after stomping our way through Dustwallow Marsh, Tanaris, Ungoro Crater and the Swamp of Sorrows - With another few hours worth of questing I reckon we'll be in Outlands stomping yet more faces on our way to level 70. Working with another Paladin has been fantastic for levelling - we've not yet found anything we've struggled to kill together and it has impressed me just how competent Amanda has become with her class - she was more than capable of delivering the punishment on multiple opponents when a bug meant that my character was unable to provide any kind of useful support until I logged out and back in again.

Apparently it's the Royal Wedding tomorrow though I've yet to figure out if I actually care... Probably not come to think of it, though at least it's a nice excuse for a bank holiday - not gonna complain on that front.
