So it's Autism Acceptance Month. Please accept me! I'm autistic. 😬
I had a BEEFY update in a game yesterday before the bonus/make up stream. Want to find out what it was?

Penelope (an orange & white tabby cat) is loafed inside her carrier, very nervous about her vet visit.
Can we let Penelope know that she's a good, brave girl for going to the vet today? 😽
Penelope (an orange & white tabby cat with pink paw pads/toe beans) is sleeping in a fluffy crocheted blanket (white with green & yellow speckles).
I finally finished this pet blanket for Penelope & it makes me so happy to know that she loves it! 🥰
I've learned the basics of crochet over the past...maybe couple of years (give or take). This is the first blanket for me & I think it came out okay. It was a good challenge for me!
Gonna yap a lil bit, then go back to Silksong before people start watching the big sportsball game today.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.) If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.
A desperate plea sent to me by a Minneapolis resident who's been on the front lines since the beginning of the ICE occupation:
Penelope (a female orange tabby cat with white paws) is curled up on a crocheted white (with green & yellow speckles) fluffy blanket in progress.
I've been working on Penelope's blanket for a while & as I was continuing with some more of it, I just watched her "make biscuits" on it before curling up like this. I think she likes it! ☺️
Not planning to be live for very long or making any huge progress. This is mainly going to be farming. But feel free to hang out if you want!

Avatar luulapants 1d If you're in the US, now is a great time to talk to the young people in your life about the US military:
The recruiter is not your friend. The military employs child psychologists to learn how to make you think the recruiter is your friend. The recruiter is allowed to lie to you and makes more money if they do. The recruiter is paid a commission to groom children into cannon fodder. The recruiter will tell you you're special and will go into special smart soldier programs instead of combat. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you they can tell if someone can get PTSD or not and only recruit people like you, who won't. They're lying. The recruiter may tell you you'll be too busy attending free college (!!) to go overseas. They're lying. The recruiter may ask what countries you want to travel to and promise you bougie placements on military bases in those countries. They're lying.
Even "It's just four years!" is a lie - the government is allowed to hold you past your enlistment period with a stop-loss order. The recruiter actually has zero power to decide anything that happens to you after you enlist and they more importantly don't care what happens to you. If you enlist, you will be brainwashed to make you willing to do things to other humans that you would never be willing to do today. You will be ordered to do things that will kill children. And you'll do them. The military is not the only way or even the best way for you to go to college or start a career.
Military brainwashing will actually make you into a terrible university student because it degrades your ability to think critically and question your sources. Having PTSD and/or a TBI will make it harder to be a student and keep a job. Veterans' benefits suck these days. Being a veteran drastically increases your risk of homelessness, suicide, alcohol and drug dependence, prison time, and becoming an abuser to your loved ones. The military will expose you to chemicals that will drastically increase your chances of developing cancer. The military will withhold information about your rights to conscientiously object after enlisting. A lot can change in four years.
If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.
...huh?
