I think I have decided I am going to join the Freemasons...
Any #Freemasons out there want to have a chat with me please reach out.
@feld Nothing, they just have different bands of color in them which I will wear to match my color (tie/shirt) for the day.
I only have a few rings that mean anything:
Freemason ring - self explanatory
Legend of Zelda ring - self explanatory
Silver ring - Occult symbolism for water/moon
Hemetite ring - Occult symbolism for earth
Gold ring - Occult Symbolism for fire/sun
PELE ring - Supposed ring of solomon according to Enochian tradition, gives one control over demons
A few of the rings above have inner band engravings to symbolize their various nature, usually using a loagath.

> last time I checked Dems aren’t the ones with the racist rhetoric… Just saying 🤷♂️
They literally elected a president currently in office who spent most of his career being racist and literally started his career and made it the focus of his career to keep segregation alive... literally the first president in my lifetime who built a career on pro-segregation... Yea pretty sure the dems are still built on racist rhetoric, if they werent a man like that would have never even been a senator, let alone much more.
@freemo Ironically the Taser is a weapon you shoot at somebody, and the Stungun is something you stab into someone.
Wowowowow...... I just rebuilt a pen i built myself. Basically took a modern pen body, threw away its existing nib and ink feed and replaced it with an ink and nib feed that is 102 years old. Had to modify the size of the feed and use some teflon tape around it to get a good seal so the ink flowed right.... but my god of all my many amazing pens this now out performs them ALL! The nib is soft, has way more range than I thought, and the tip is fine enough for everyday writing too... best of all the modern body is so so sexy.
