Cards Against Humanity purchases border territory to stop Trump’s wall, gets legal advice and builds trebuchet, to make it stick

mostlysignssomeportents:

This year’s Cards Against Humanity secret Xmas surprise has begun, and on day one, they’ve delighted buyers (I’m one!) by sending us a share certificatefor an infinitesimal fraction of a stretch of US/Mexican borderlands, along with details of their plans to keep the land secure from Trump’s attempts to seize it and build a stupid wall on it.

The first line of defense is a pack of rabid attack lawyers from the firm of Graves, Dougherty, Hearon, & Moody, who’ve penned a letter vowing to fight any eminent domain seizure with everything they have, running out the clock on the Trump administration before any wall can be built.

The second line of defense is much more direct: Cards Against Humanity have built a 30’ trebuchet, a medieval siege engine used to knock down walls since the 12th century, as an object lesson in just how far behind the times Donald Trump’s mentality is. The have paid 300 gold to increase its attack damage, so it’s very powerful.

Today’s package also included an awesome Dungeons and Dragons style map of the USA and Mexico, a cover letter and some Trumpwall-themed expansion cards for CAH. I can’t wait for day two!

This mask- pretty much doubles as a kokoshnik- started off as the Sun but became more generally about fire (even though stars are plasma not fire; but who’s counting).

(note that I did not embroider the entirety of the wide ribbon thing; that would have shaved further months from my life. I used the trim from a gorgeous vintage saree)

“They fought the fight of fights, the motliest band of savages to have ever sailed the high seas. It was a battle like no other, the very last of mankind, with only one mission in mind. Eat, Drink, F*ck and be Merry!! So the story goes.

This sculpture has been the most time consuming and intricate piece I have completed to date. I am happy that she is finished and am really happy with the finished product.She stands 8ft tall on custom built display table 7 ½ ft in length and about 2 ½ ft wide.” – Jason Stieva
