@blubfeesh Sympathy. I really worry about some stuff, but there's not much I can say that'd actually help.

I can’t talk freely about it, but don’t think my silence means I’m NOT still angry about it.

I will not play “Guillotine” to;
* hum La Marseillaise off key
* hum Berlioz’s “March to the Scaffold” off key
* loudly declare LIBERTE FRATERNITE EGALITE!
* loudly declare LE FONTAINE DES SANG! if that card shows up

Shoutout to the weeping dude and the blanket-wrapped homeless dude outside the bookstore. Whoever you are, thank you for reminding me I’m not the only one feeling bad in what seemed like a sea of happy prosperous folks. I hope all of us have things better soon.

Gee, let’s try to make up for our country’s historical failings by unsubtly forcing the “everything’s great land of opportunity” party line that worked so great in the past. ‘Course like anything else rightwingers shit up, maybe you don’t care cause by the time fallout gets nasty you HAVE your money?

#drawing so far today, dwarf war priest with frost hammer and dwarf with repeating light crossbow vs owlbear.

@Kyresti definitely "comfort food at 0200" stuff - *everything* has sugar or at least sweet notes.

driving yesterday, I misread "Sushi Bento" or possibly "Sushi and Bento" and now "Bushi Bento" is going to be a chain of cheap, not particularly Japanese restaurants in any cyberpunk game I run. What's more Seattle than teriyaki chicken?

@anthracite @mawr probably says something that the Bay Area had the only BDSM coffeeshop, and Seattle has the only furry bar.

let’s stare dazedly at the produce as though, were I but to buy the right veggies, suddenly summer would be a blissful haze of shared salads and talk until the sunlight fades

I like how as hobby interests, the model magazines are right next to the weed magazines. “WHOA dude. This is how I did a fuckton of chronic and modified a Gloster Gladiator specific to Britain’s campaign in Iraq. Duuuuude.”

@Yotenotes aww what sweethearts! Hopefully someone takes them in soon.

as I come to the close of Chodron's "Comfortable with Uncertainty" one takeaway is;

life is full of loss, pain, sickness, threat. But life isn't ABOUT loss, pain, sickness, threat (or anything else for that matter). And if I spend all my time trying to fight off, mollify or avoid that loss, pain, sickness, and threat - that's not really the same as joy. That's granting these things way more importance than simply things that happen sometimes.

@Kyresti I feel that I'm very much wired to have faith - less "there IS a spiritual side to the world" but more "no matter how the world actually works, my brain is set up to be religious" if that makes sense.

Which stacks badly with growing up in Judaism practiced out of tradition and the die-hard believers being the really toxic form of Christianity. And of course the punishment, morality-tripping, worth focused very real authorities in childhood. So even as an animist, as a not-really-Buddhist, I can get drawn into this idea that something big will go after me - probably deservedly.

Usually I think; there's a lot of different aspects of the spiritual world out there, and the ones I *want* to honor are the supportive, accepting, nurturing ones, which will reflect in *me*. But sometimes I think, look, maybe if I accepted there were nothing, I'd be kinder to myself and by extension to the world around me, which is *way* more important than a spirtuality imho.

Want to run a D&D game based in opposing People of the Black Blood and the cult of Malar, but everyone I’d game with would want their characters to become lycanthropes and I’m unsure how to handle that.

Ever feel like you should be an atheist, not because you don’t believe in the divine but more because you’re so heavily indoctrinated that Someone Big Unchallegeable and Powerful is going to punish you, that you now can’t be religious without trying to turn it into some form of maltheism?

Okay at North Kitsap Heritage Park. There’s like no parking. There’s supposedly 60 miles of trail stashed in here.
