Finally beat the bone hydra in hades and this just mysteriously appeared in my closet

Assistant Professor of Physics Thomas Brennan probably isn't going to get tenure. He's probably not going to get an academic job anywhere.

plurality crosstalk, AO3 project, holidays (and inventing them), D. B. Cooper Day 

🌐 [Frisk] we hit our "Wolfenoot" target, barely. what should be our next one? I wouldn't mind making another AO3 update _today_, honestly...if we could write something every day, that would be nice, although I'll settle for closely spaced holidays as a fall-back position.

🔴 [Chara] well let's see what happened today *looks up* the first entry in the Wikipedia page for 24 November is about Theodosius the Great, how's that for a bad omen? [expletive deleted] Theodosius the Great

🌐 and the Texas Rangers were created on this day? 😑​

🔴 oh wow that's awful. there's gotta be *something* good..."The Origin of the Species" was published today in 1859. that's something.

🌐 "Evolution Day" is a terrible name, though. I am not putting "Evolution Day" in an AO3 piece. it sounds like something a Richard Dawkins fan would coin.

🔴 okay I've got it.

🔴 today is D. B. Cooper Day. Princess, what do you think? should we add that to the list of official Realm of the Monsters holidays

🍀 [Asriel] Chara you'll have to make a better case than that. who is "D. B. Cooper"?

🔴 that's the brilliant bit! he doesn't really exist! all we know is, some dude who was calling himself "Dan Cooper" hijacked a plane flying between Portland and Seattle on 24 November 1971 demanding an enormous ransom. the cops put it together for him and "Cooper" got the hijacked plane to land at SeaTac so he could grab his ransom money, and then he demanded the plane take off again. then at some point he just bailed out, with a parachute, and was never seen again. a tiny amount of the money was recovered somewhere

🔴 his name got reported as "D. B. Cooper" by some sloppy journalist and that's this guy's only name now. nobody's ever found out who he "really" was. maybe he just phased into existence and back out again

🔴 but I can't think of a better reason to celebrate 24 November. hats off to you, D. B. Cooper, whoever or whatever you were

🍀 *sighs* well...I can't ever refuse Chara when they are in one of their more ecstatic moods...D. B. Cooper Day it is then :3

Abysmal for-profit healthcare system imploding, killing hundreds of thousands and enriching health corp execs under pandemic: "There's an app to get poor POC to wait in multi-hour covid test lines for you!" US unfortunately on the fast-track to the cyberpunk hellworld of Neofeud.

It's okay to be vindictive, so long as it doesn't become your master,
it's okay to revel in another's misfortune, when they've been known to be an oathbreaker.
When their foul deeds catch up to them,
schadenfreude is how we shall feel then.

Thinking bout how in drama, an antagonist mistreats a protagonist and never, ever stops doing and says "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have done that and I'll stop" without the protagonist doing something because that's bad story structure

And people have taken that as their cue to never stop bad behavior unless and until the mistreated party stands up for themselves. It's good story structure, but putting the responsibility on the wronged party is shitty

re: its subtooty 

@Kaffe@glaceon.social Oof, I know the feel.

Reviews like this make the blood, sweat and tears working on this adventure game while being an underpaid social worker in the US ghetto worth it. And yeah, let's make cyberpunk PUNK again!

There is something really zen about working on RPGMaker projects :D

Yeah, CWs are important. i can't ever see it being a bad thing.

I hope people who aren't binary are accepted within their communities.

i swear to god if I find out that having something quite urgent and important to do, paralyzing you from even starting the task, and instead do something completely unrelated instead of just starting doing it, is part of the ADHD spectrum, I'm going to get diagnosed

LB, US pol 

LB: Very much this. Enjoy the victory, enjoy the Biden victory and the salt that is pouring out from the fascist roach holes of the internet. We all deserve a break.

Yes, we know Biden is sketchy on his own, and his VP pick isn't exactly great, but you know what? WE GOT FUCKING RID OF THAT CHEETO. We can start worrying about holding Biden's feet to the fire after we're done celebrating.

Which should be around 2 months from now when he gets sworn in. Until then, enjoy your early Christmas present. I know I am loving it.

Not explicitly referring to American politics, but we all know what this is about 

This Tumblr post wasn’t written for mastodon, but it’s sure as hell relevant.

Joy is liberatory and energizing.

Kindness is subversive and revolutionary.

If you only see valid political value in suffering and cruelty you're unlikely to be working toward a very human-friendly world. Also you're probably no fun to be around 😛
