youtu.be/FATrsvKTtV4 is just a song I really like so I figured it was worth sharing rn

today's cheerful thought is "small taqueria" has the same scansion as "Smooth Operator"

no need to ask it's a small taqueria
small taqueria

agua frescas, have some horchata, order more
quesabirria or maybe burritos al pastor

we have just folded space from Ix. Many machines on Ix, new machines, far better than the ones on Richesse.

possibly FA journals weren't a good choice of places to pick fights but frankly I am spoiling for an excuse to at the very least block Nazis.

and of course now I spot the obvious mistakes but ehhh, for a day partly spent profoundly unhappy and partly spent completely furious, I'm gonna count "drew something and can see therefore fix the mistake" as a net win

Okay, I have tea and supermarket sushi as a dumb treat for myself, which is hopefully not too self indulgent during a crisis

OK, I signed myself up for monthly donation to Earthjustice, and wrote both my senators asking them to please protect birthright citizenship.

I finally figured out more about my feelings with what's about to happen.

Theoretically as an anarchist I believe in communities on a small scale but don't expect people necessarily do the right thing on a big, even statewide scale - let alone nationwide.

So why is it still getting to me that these ASSHOLES voted for what they KNOW is going to be a bigoted anti-environment fundie kleptocracy, that they basically signed a death warrant for a whole lot of people and, because we don't know what the next disaster will be which the incoming Administration will mishandle, we don't know who's going to die in this thing; the straightest cis-male WASP is only slightly safer than a wheelchair bound trans Black woman. I don't think I am very likely to survive the next 4 years, but I think Trump will, I think Musk will, I think all these nauseating little pissants will.

And it FINALLY OCCURS TO ME, that's GRIEF. Cycling "I can't believe this horrifying event happened with more to come," "fuck these shit deciding that we can now die instead of actually getting prosperity," "there's gotta be a way to get through this shitty situation," "This saps my will to live" are ALL STAGES OF GRIEF.

I mean, it doesn't help that much but at least now my reaction's understandable to me.

@PlasmaGryphon that'd be really good - just a mix of various social screwups, and then the end of the game is they're too English to bring it up so all of the evidence cards just go into the same little envelope

then someone said "Rivendell wouldn't just have plumbing they'd have bidets" and I'm now imagining the hobbit reaction to Elf Toilet Surprise

Sam would probably immediately recite/compose a poem but would be stymied by trying to come up with a rhyme for "jacksy"

this map of Bag End suddenly has me wondering about whether there's ever been an Unexpected Party version of Clue

I mean, "a sprawling country home with a group of relatives, servants and other guests, each with potential motive to murder the host" sounds very Christie AND very Tolkien.

sooo what you see you might not get
and we can bet
so don't you get souped yet
schemin' on a thing that's a mirage
I'm tryin' t'tell you now it's SABOTAGE!

IIIIIII can't stand it, I know y'planned planned it
I'ma set straight this Watergate
because I can't stand rockin' when I'm in this place
because I feel disgrace because you're all in my face!
so make no mistakes and switch up my channel!
I'm Buddy Rich when I fly off the handle!
what could it be, it's a mirage
you're schemin' on a thing that's SABOTAGE!

Clearly this is the part of Krull where Prince Corwin faces The Wolfen. Earlier in this soundtrack suite was the point in the movie where he met the Rhine maidens.

KRILL! BEYOND OUR TIME, BEYOND OUR UNIVERSE, IS AN OCEAN BESIEGED BY ALIEN WHALES, WHERE A YOUNG COPEPOD MUST RESCUE HIS LOVE FROM wait I’m sorry the movie’s actually called Krull?

@frost that’s them all right! They have a country program I can actually tolerate, an Asian program (they have a Spanish language program too but I don’t like it as much because that DJ talks a LOT), and an additional world music program.
