I’m starting to think that we’re all so loaded up with work above all else, rising costs of living, and negative expectations, that a lot of feeling that you’ve failed utterly and are just waiting for it to end? Is actually just normal right now and you might actually be doing fairly well at living right now. If that makes sense.

40k fan theory; Space Marines aren’t actually towering giants. But they’re well fed, selected for health basics and augmented with CRISPR etc where most citizens of the Imperium are basically feudal. So they’re actually 6’-6’2” where most humans are 5’4”-5’6”.

Fan theory listening to Ep IV soundtrack; Vader couldn’t figure out Leia was his daughter because she so much was. He saw someone so similar to Padme that dealing with her got him completely lost in all sorts of rage and grief and about the last thing he’d think is “hey, force sensitive about as old as my kids would have been.”

Initially I was all stoked about watching The Bad Guys, but the movie theater has one showing of Ponyo, as part of a Ghibli thing. I've only seen bits and pieces of Ponyo as background.

The Northman is still showing, but I'm not feeling up to 85% pretty good, 10% serious squick and 5% TEH BESTEST MOVIE EVAR MADE!!1!

And I blame the political party of organized racism for making this whole thing spiral completely out of control fuck them fuck them and they’re goddamn pretends of religion fuck all of them

I got the news about Buffalo and I’m horrified. I know Masto trends left but this is… fuck it’s 2022, not Georgia a few years before I grew up there. The Civil Rights battles we should be fighting now are the semantics of teaching CRT in high school etc, not whether my fellow citizens have a right to fucking *survive*. I said Kaddish but it doesn’t make me feel better and it doesn’t help anyone. Fuck.

So far older me hates this damn thing so much I’m debating selling it before reading more. The Garou were living avatars of Gaia’s anger facing the world’s end, but the Uratha decided they police the spirit world, miss policing humanity, and are proud of policing their ancestor. It’s like they drive spirit F150s with fetish Punisher skull decals, rather than having angsty lesbo make out sessions.

My folks basically declared I *was* staying for dinner so I’m waiting, reading a used copy I picked up of Werewolf the Forsaken. I wasn’t stoked about the game the first time; maybe older me will like it.

Ohhhhhhh CANTUS LUPUS
AGNES TOTUS
WE ARE THE WEREWOLVES OF ARMENIA
WE ARE THE ARMY OF THE WYLD!

So part of why I moved north was to be available in case medical stuff happened. Right now, I’m at my folks’ place because my mom’s mobility is shot and my Dad has been largely housebound for a month plus, so being here lets him get up to Anacortes. So this is sorta why I’m here, but it’s not a fun Saturday.

“The Marriage of Figaro, Mozart’s musical farce” as opposed to Mozart’s musical farts which is his Lech Mir im Arsch-Kantata.

short story time;

I follow Jeff Laubenstern over on Twitter - he's worked on all kinds of projects but I still associate him with his work on Shadowrun. But my favorite piece *I thought* he did for Shadowrun was an NPC portrait, an undercover policeman with a tribal killer whale tattoo and a mohawk.

So I told him so and it's not actually his art.

However, it's one of *his* favorites, and he owns the original.

Got to see a screenshot of the Blizzard diversity thing using their character Ana as an example. I'm really leery about identifying the "race" of anyone from MENA as "Arab."

oh honey you know that you can (and will) lick my 'do
you know that you can (and will) lick mah big fat 'do
*runs hand over hair*

#drawing today is an undead army crossing a ford! And listening to Juno Reactor!

I AIN'T GONNA WORK FOR MAGGIE'S PA NO MORE
I SAID I AIN'T GONNA WORK FOR MAGGIE'S PA NO MORE!
WELL HE PUTS HIS CIGAR OUT IN YOUR FACE JUST FOR KICKS!
HIS BEDROOM WINDOW, IT IS MADE OUT OF BRICKS!
THE NATIONAL GUARD STANDS OUTSIDE HIS DOOR!
NO I AIN'T GONNA WORK FOR MAGGIE'S PA NO MORE!
#ungh #shit #ThrowSomethingHeavy

Gotta say “my fursuit gives me the confidence I need to promote unionization against a giant company” is a statement from someone whose suit has really good visibility. Maybe they don’t wear glasses either?

What might be an aminita of some sort and red flowers which were all over!

Since I’m feeling kinda run down here are photos from Saturday’s hike! Forest and a view from the summit.

Oh no! I looked briefly at someone’s AD and now I feel AGAIN that other people are having exciting lives getting schtupped in costumes etc, and even though I don’t necessarily want wild sex, most of what I’m doing with my life is being a good employee and a good son.
