Keep seeing canadians going 'rule of law' or indigenous tweep referencing them doing it and, like

if the canadians cared about rule of law they wouldn't be claiming land that wasn't theirs???
'Rule of Law' appears to be the fucking canadian equivalent to the US 'freedom' buzzword. Where it means something completely different than it is.

Announcing Hellraver (2020)

I am so pleased that this mostly came out the way I wanted it to the first go round. There are tweaks I want to make, and I still have to make a jig to actually permanently affix the sides together, but goddamn. Sometimes a dumb idea works out almost exactly how you envisioned it.

It does my heart good to know that this is published in a peer reviewed medical journal
