Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near
And have you considered becoming
An ornithologist

Lord Elfmullet, a 5/3/5th level Ranger/Druid/Thief, and his enchanted bokken, "Morning Wood" (+2, +3 vs cold-using)

(this came out of thumbnailing a very uh, 80s looking elf and then snickering at the name "Lord Elfmullet")

yes I know

we kill small children <strike>to make matzoh</strike>

I've heard it before.

whoops.

That's not a friend, I guess.

also, it's not only Crow-soundtrack-listening-season here in Seattle, it's Bladerunner-soundtrack-listening-season

chummer

I might have an overnight guest this weekend, and I suck at housekeeping, so I figured before I ran out of spoons I'd do some cleaning.

I cleaned the toilet, tub, sink/counter in the bathroom, the stovetop and microwave in the kitchen, got rid of some fridge fossils, took out trash, and made a pot of kinda dilute curry.

This is not exactly "Beowulf LET Breca beat him in swimming the Baltic because he was busy trashing sea monsters" bragging but it's something.

Short rant: I know what side I’m required to/supposed to take, I know what side I’m biased towards, and I also DON’T want to take sides. Dead, traumatized or unhoused aren’t national or ethnic identities. I’m sure someone will tell me I’m the oppressor for my desired neutrality here. How about maybe I’m not a fan of war if any larger than 1/36th scale or outside historical reenactment?

I keep having to remind myself that SW means sex workers and not Star Wars and I was real confused for a while.

<Luke>I just wanna go home and masturbate and get high and read whatever I can find about Mawangdui </Luke>

Admittedly not all at the same time, that’s disturbing.

@Bwee thanks Bwee! Hope you’re doing okay. *hugs*

Oh man between dreams about needing to pee and getting up to pee (and drink water. Maybe there’s a connection) my kidneys are in GREAT shape this morning.

@amaranth@weirder.earth had asked about werewolves yesterday. I have this theory that most shapechanger stories solve towards canines, since we're looking for animals that might scavenge close to human habitation and get spotted - foxes, wolves, coyotes, though hyenas and even (if you're at sea enough) sharks. In the preindustrial world, in the dim light between houses, you can't be sure if the animal you see out there in the dark is your neighbor.

Managed to make myself draw today. #drawings

@CoyoteTraveller the impression I’d gotten from online, from friends and my participation in protesting the Iraq war was that the *correct* left wing line was Israel was an illegitimate terrorist ethnostate etc etc which needs to be completely destroyed, that only Israel was responsible for keeping the conflict going, and no deviation from that view was acceptable.

@GraySpots the article mentions a velcro jacket, which is good, cause the plunger is kinda gross and if it COULD work it'd be a great gag

About the situation I don't usually feel comfortable talking about;

I'd gotten the impression that because I support a "two state solution" that makes me incredibly right leaning by comparison to what's usually very left leaning politics. I think I should be up front about this and if people want to block me, at least that way I'm being honest.

@sev IMHO 1936 Arab Revolt. Arab attacks on Jewish settlements, British support for Jewish settlements as proxy forces to keep the area, the resulting loss of Palestinian leadership who could have influenced the coming agreement, and the resulting Arab support for the Nazis, directly influenced how bad it was to go down.

Honestly I feel like the Brits especially and the UN in general intentionally failed to set things up to be a stable situation; I think if you read between the lines Israel was supposed to be spectacularly wiped out in 1948 and wasn't; I feel like the people ultimately responsible were neither Israeli nor Palestinian and are never going to have to even acknowledge that they set up a mess.

another Jew says "look, this is shit, I don't support it, I hate it" look we're Jews we're NOT gonna agree with each other necessarily and also a fairly important part here is that this is shit, I don't support it, I hate it

an Arab goes off and that is fucking 300% understandable, I get it, this is shit,

a nice American leftist with no fucking personal connection to this says Free Palestine etc and all I hear is yet another gentile screaming kill the yids
