Friendly reminder that guillotines aren't particularly difficult to make.

The tricky part is getting the bad people in there. Time to start practicing my shibari.

Do you need help practicing uwu

You don't even need to make a guillotine. People made do with axes for hundreds of years. Or nooses.

What's a guillotine if not an axe put on rails and dropped from the heavens

An axe is really just a mobile guillotine if you think about it.

Especially if you’re a tree.

I’m gonna call my axe a treeotine from now on btw.

There is power in symbolism ; I think if it became fashionable to have jewelry and logos featuring these, it would help. It would remind people, on all sides.

Our sides need boosts to morale, which is probably just as important as organization. Such fashion trends using this and other things might have an outsized impact. No need to actually use the real thing. Although I think it would be helpful too, but only within the law

Don't forget rusty spoons
