A/N: YES, I'm still working on it - slowly but surely!

---

ZIIOONG!

Something zips past you as soon as you enter, only centimeters away from your cheek and you feel the little breeze in its wake.

FUMP!

Something hits your chest.

You have barely time to look around. You don't see Paz but there's something else flying directly towards you.

FUOMP!

It hits your shoulder!

"Fuck! What-"

FOMP!

This time it's your stomach that's being hit and you bend over.

"Paz!" you shriek. "Stop it!"

ZIIIONG!

Another close miss.

You run and dive behind the next best thing and it is some sort of box. You knock on it. It's metal, seems stable enough for now.

"Paz!" you shout. "What the fuck?!"

You hear something crackle above the box and when you take a look you sure as hell get a

- FUMP! -

right in your face!

But what you also got, is a comlink which you put on with trembling hands.

"DUDE! CAN YOU NOT?!"

"I'll stop when you reach the other end of the room."

"What?!"

"You heard me. Now do something."

The box moves on its own will and you lose your cover.

FUMP!

The chest again.

"Having fun?" Paz' amused voice crackles through the com.

"Gar di'kut!"

He only chuckles at this.

There's a rope hanging down not too far away from you, leading up to some sort of haphazard metal platform pathway suspended from the ceiling that is higher than you'd expected. It would be difficult to hit you up there, but there's no way you could get up there. The last time you did climbing ropes was at school, and... well, you don't wanna think about it.

You lay flat on the ground, wishing you had cartoon character strength in your toes and fingers to just diddle-liddle-liddle away. Or one of these convenient buttons that summon anvils falling from the sky.

But as you bemoan, not for the first time in your life, your non-cartoonishness, you look around. The room is much bigger than it looked from the outside. And there's stuff all over the place.

FUMP!

You groan as another thing hits you on your back. While it does sting a little, it's nothing you can't handle. But, knowing yourself and how quickly you bruise, you are very sure, that by the end of the day you'll look like a blueberry muffin.

Great, and now Frank Zappa starts playing in your mind. Thanks, brain.

Do you prefer the major cities all being available as fast travel options from the start of the game, like in Oblivion, or do you prefer having to visit the cities first, like in Skyrim?

Hey everyone, I'm still here. I want to thank you all for continuing to follow me and reaching out with kind words. I'll be taking a somewhat cautious, quiet, journey back into this, but wanted to give you all a heads up that I'm back posting the odd thing here and there. Thank you for being you.

I rather like how this hat turned out! The pattern is the Stevie Beanie by Wish Upon a Hook on Ravelry. I made the brim a bit bigger than called for so it would fit over my ears more loosely. This made me fall in love with linked treble crochet, it's such a wonderfully textured stitch.

via Instagram The youngest member of New Zealand’s parliament, Māori Party MP Hana-Rawhiti Kareariki Maipi-Clarke, started a haka to protest the first vote on a proposed law that would re-interpret New Zealand's founding legal document. The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced by the leader of the libertarian ACT party, David Seymour, and would redefine how New Zealand interprets the Treaty of Waitangi (Te Tiriti o Waitangi), which was signed in 1840 between the British Crown and more than 500 Māori chiefs. Under the proposed changes, the New Zealand government would have "full power to govern" and make laws "in the best interests of everyone", while also promising to "respect and protect" the rights of Māori under the treaty "at the time they signed it". Maipi-Clarke was suspended from parliament and her behaviour was called disrespectful and grossly disorderly by the speaker.

I love not just the open defiance of colonial rhetoric, but the solidarity of her party members and allies in parliament to rise to the occasion and join her. Literally in most cases!

much better footage of the haka that shut down parliament today

"A group of New Zealand MPs broke into a spirited haka in the country's parliament this week, interrupting a vote on a controversial bill in spectacular fashion.

The Treaty Principles Bill, brought by ACT leader David Seymour, seeks to impose a new interpretation of the 1840 Treaty of Waitangi (also known as Te Tiriti), a treaty between Māori chiefs and the British crown that is considered one of the founding documents of New Zealand.

Advocates for the new bill claim it offers equality to all New Zealand citizens and will remove "privileged" treatment for Māori, while opponents say the bill is either too simplistic, or that it further entrenches social barriers and prejudice that Māori face."

Denim Jacket

c.1850

United States

​This jacket would have been worn over a woman’s work dress or blouse, most likely while she labored outdoors. Its construction mimics the fashionable hourglass silhouette of the period, with tucks that cinch at the wrists and natural waistline. Denim is typically thought of as a menswear textile, but it was also common in women’s workwear during the 19th century.

it's been quiet 'round here for all the usual reasons ((side-eyes societal collapse)) but also because I'm making a graphic novel and attending school full-time and making enough soup every Monday to feed 20 hungry art school students and also doing a lot of this🧶
