A couple more personal observations;
* part of why con drop is going from work (and possibly travel) to desired high activity to work. It’s like how drawing, much as it helps me recharge, is still work and still eats energy.
* being stomped on incidentally can look a lot like willful, malicious intent, especially because being stomped on for someone else’s convenience is sorta abusive *anyway*. And my childhood had relatively few actual bullies but lots of self absorbed folks and coerced dogma.
@Deglassco I mean, any history provided in public schools is going to be an oversimplification convenient to those in power, and revisionism is pushing back right now, but you grow up surrounded by reminders of the ACW, Jim Crow and the Civil Rights Movement, and you go “what happened has to be more complex than evil carpetbaggers and a very very cleaned up version of sharecropping.”

#drawings today - Kemetic jackal warrior and some sort of orcish undead. Fennec fox anthro drinks tea but a wereshark apparently disapproves.
@wyrmchain That's ridiculously cool, and I didn't know either 1) you'd lived in NYC or 2) you'd been to Europe!

@pandora_parrot geez, I hope he’ll be all right
@Yotenotes ooh! You’re right by the railroad museum too!

Last, because you knew it was coming. Selfie time! With Trus the raven griffin, with an otter and with a JP velociraptor.

Non fursuit photos; dealer’s den, the holiday lights on the street outside, and some of the view from the scary 7th floor balcony!

A rufous lemur, a couple of tigers… and Ash Coyote getting more documentary footage using her ridiculously awesome steadycam rig.

Riptide the energy-drink-loving “caprigon,” a blue “velociraptor” and her JP handler, and another dromaeosaur!

Mulligan the sleepy/clown kitty; a sprinkles themed critter; and a Citipati/Oviraptor!
@Kusimanse have decided I’ll use the spinach for sigumchi namul, and augment the noodle salad. There’s some waste but it’s a good dinner.
@Deglassco thank you! As a southerner I always knew I was being lied to, but it’s useful to actually have a grasp on just how badly.
The Reconstruction Era: When America Had a Chance

For a brief period during Reconstruction, there was a chance to build a better, more inclusive America.m—-a nation that lived up to those lofty words of its founding documents.

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
