This site is a broken spaceship in a deteriorating orbit. Renaming the vessel won’t keep it from burning up in the atmosphere.
It’s a failure and we all need to hit the escape pods.
Me, I’m fine with Instagram. Find me there.

Huh, I can’t see tweets, they won’t load, but before I abandon this broken site, a reminder:

Remember friends, I am on Instagram as laurendangershaw and that’s important because…
Rate limit exceeded? This place! So broken. Needs this gif again.

A few minutes of fighting from Jeff with a cool move at the very end!
Second partisan, rotella, and backup weapon video up! This setup is just so fun to do freeplay with. youtu.be/RBxnofW1ljk

Wild haired warrior woman: a photo from last week.
I still intend to slow down my Twitter use but the odd visit from an odd lady seems alright.

Okay I was going to throw the shade, as the kids say, but I think “musky” is being flagged.
So enjoy some oatmeal pancakes!

Partisan and rotella, aka a spear and shield adventure, brought to us by Jeff! Let’s go watch.
#HEMA #martialarts
First time sparring with partisan and rotella! We may or may not throw the spears. The cinquedea on my hip may or may not come out multiple times as my backup weapon... youtu.be/ZbL7Tr2g7RY

People with money like to rub a dub dub
They gather together to dive in a sub
Caution to the wind, the risk is okay
Until they suffocate so very far away
The hubris they have leads to their end
And our right to schadenfreude we will defend!

And now, the late great Bill Paxton in a photo to summarise how I feel about Twitter these days.
ALT Bill Paxton as Hicks in Aliens, with the caption “we’re on an express elevator to hell. Going down.”

Playing with light and shadow.
I’ll never be the best mini painter but I like what this represents all the same: a journey through darkness, by fire and sword.
Okay, now to do actual work. Booo
#miniatures
In all we do, compassion and consideration for others should be key.
Instead, selfishness abounds.
No one is saying your needs don’t matter. We’re only saying the needs of others and the safety of others share the same importance.
No one has to “lose” to make you a success.

The wildfire smoke in the air is fading!
Time to train and work-in the new Gabriel 2.0 gloves from Spatha.

Jeff has a new video about throwing people around! Because yes, all sword fights lead to wrestling, as the saying goes.

Second installment of my series on Abrazare is up: some basic throws based on the posta descriptions. These are general and based on my own interpretations and experience, but leave room to play with on your own! youtu.be/3HSiJ85HIas

$126 Canadian WITH shipping?
Done.
Today I have received the plate
To protect my legs and improve my fate!
Halloween is going to be fun this year.

Hey. You. It’s June. Pride time. Don’t just say “all are welcome” you have to say “hate not allowed” because let’s face it, we can’t allow the ‘phobes to come to the table.
“But we want their business, too”
No, you don’t. No haters allowed. Let that evil shrivel up in the ditch
I coached my team at a #HEMA tournament yesterday. Silver and bronze in the novice category for our fighters.
I also bought the Gabriel 2.0 gloves. Because why not.
Long, exhausting day but ultimately well worth it. Your old Auntie Danger needs more water and more sleep.
