Dybbuks & Davening, my Jewish themed one page TTRPG! It’s one page because the rules are entirely “Being from the group that’s always made either invisible or villains sucks big red baboon ass. Let’s go play Pathfinder instead.” On the upside, it’s free and easy to learn!

do you REALLY hate Halloween being over, or do you just hate being stuck with going into the darkness and literally the worst holiday humanity has ever invented?

trying to stave off the depression with the Cutthroat Island and the Adventures of Don Juan soundtracks

fuck, I miss fencing. FUCK.

Apparently it's being the sort of time period that a real specific part of the Jaws soundtrack prompts a tiny crying jag. Seriously I can explain.

every time I think "what if I tried went to seminary and got ordained" I get some sort of reminder that I would NOT be good at it and that's one of those professions like nuclear reactor technician or grade/high school teacher you do NOT want to do badly.

time to pause the Jaws soundtrack to listen to "Eggman" again

saw a convertible drivin' by
loaded up a slingshot, let one fly!

... oh crap, it's time for High Plains Drifter again, isn't it?

oh yeah John Williams' stirring "March of the Thyreophorans"!

so let's see furries really go for fantasies about animal people from D&D. Kobolds do the draconic-cat-submissive fantasy thing. Gnolls do the himbo AND potentially trans icon thing. Now if only I could figure out the next D&D monster to get big as a slutty art icon, I could *really* clean up.

I know! It's locathah, isn't it?

Honestly rate yourself!

@jupitersigh Not board game per se but I really like https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/760/battle-line

Everyone in this movie has fake Bela Lugosi accents like an Eastern European version of everyone learning their Australian accents secondhandby watching Outback Steakhouse ads.

Today’s #drawings

Chips and salsa and mead. Pork rinds and mead, just to be ultra ghetto.

@Kusimanse I think it’s my parents so the world is X and therefore even Y and Z is a stretch, plus it’s up against ME trying to say anything to them.

@frost on the other hand this is a little less emotional tangle than started yesterday off and way better than Friday, so.

really, I don't think you should be following me, I'm obviously a bad person.

Finally finished The Cult Places of the Aegean. My big criticisms are it's basically The Cult Places of Crete and Maybe a Little Greece as a Treat and there's a time scale referenced but not given anywhere, which doesn't quite match the "Helladic chronology" I can find. (It's very much assumed you research Mycenaeans for a living.) That said it's basically everything you might possibly wondered about this topic, the wildest speculation is pretty plausible (Mycenaeans remained basically an agrarian civilization with shrines out there in farmland long after they became urbanized and therefore obvious temples in towns are slow to crop up). The last interesting part in the book was a (believable but I wish better substantiated) contention that the eruption at Santorini really screwed with these dudes' take on the world because suddenly there's lots of activity at cave sites and less activity at official shrines.

@Kusimanse We did.

My Dad's former employee, a family friend *way* more extroverted than I am, somehow convinced them to get a phone on her plan for emergency use, which they promptly leave at home. She's been trying to convince them that it has a camera if they need one, no luck.

Nothing I've said to them gets through, which isn't particularly surprising. The real irony is "look up what might be interesting nearby when we're out" is SUCH my Dad's thing.

Really hate hypervigilance. My day was full of sunlight, walking, friends, and reading, but all it takes is running into some stuff online that presses buttons and it all gets forgotten for a few minutes to hours. If stuff hits bad enough, I wind up being back at the point I was before I did all of the therapy and reading etc for hours, *days*.
