@Ailantd happy rotation around Stardew
prejudice in America
it's like;
they hate Blacks, because at some level Blacks were "supposed to" always be convenient labor, then convenient labor who were also convenient markets, and how dare Black people want something even mildly INconvenient to capitalism like being free, being successful when they weren't "supposed to" be successful, or wanting bussing, affordable housing, a chance at college education.
they hate Queers and trans people especially as the ultimate in xenophobia; Queers demonstrate that the world can be just fine without it being exactly what we're handed as objective truth, and that's scary.
but US? We no longer are the convenience to power we were in medieval Europe; we don't even have the numbers to be sweatshop workers or a good marketing demographic. It's like anti-semitism exists almost entirely as its own convenience and the actual existence of Jewish people who get hit by it, is purely incidental.
@frost weird pacing. The second movie is either fightey or talky but never at the same time. The third puts an interesting story about Neo and Trinity on hold for stuff with Zion then forgets about Zion to do Neo stuff. All a contrast with how well crafted a story Matrix is.
@Oneironott but why NOT? Other than like February definitely doesn’t work and April is weird
@Oneironott coyotember
@LexYeen * continues on about WEG's d6 Star Wars until people get sick of it * there's a chunk of the WEG Star Wars rulesbook where they talk about how the SWverse is a huge place and outdated stuff is still in use in some parts of the galaxy (I forget what the firearms skill was called; there's an Archaic Starship Piloting skill)
further navel-gazing
and I'm now thinking of transience, how the random unfairness of the world is its joy as well, the world is changed in ways I couldn't have imagined as a kid so far away and so long ago.
Some of what seems scary is merely unfamiliar and new, what's really scary now was already unbearably old when Reagan was in office, when Isabella expelled my ancestors from Spain, when Duke William starved the north of England into submission.
And while my childhood held joys and wonders that my friends will never know, I will never know what it's like growing up with the internet unfolding or being a teenager posting to DeviantArt and Elfwood, or any number of things; any more than I will now what it's like to sit in wonder at the flickering black and white screen showing the first steps on the moon, hear this new band The Beatles who aren't like anything else I'd heard before, etc etc.
And that's okay too.
@Cheff Trust me, anyone encouraging ME to join THEIR faith is top-down propaganda with an ulterior motive.
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.
