I'M INFERIOR?
WHO'S INFERIOR?
YEAH YOU BETTER CHECK THE INTERIOR OF THE SYSTEM WHICH CARES ABOUT ONLY ONE CULTURE AND THAT
IS WHY WE GOTTA TAKE THE POWER BACK!

There's only so many ways you can ensure that a "democracy" only votes for you and understands your point of view, so of *course* the Republicans are doing what the Nazis did. Possibly the most superficial resemblance between the two parties.

YES I KNOW MY ENEMIES!
THEY'RE THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT ME!
COMPROMISE
CONFORMITY
ASSIMILATION
SUBMISSION
IGNORANCE
HYPOCRISY
BRUTALITY
THE ELITE

Compare trans folks complaining about being targeted by legislation and hate crimes, which is true, to the sheer volume of harassment, threat, self-righteous gatekeeping, lies, convenient statistics, and victimhood which transphobes drop at a moment's notice.

Even if I were the cissest cis male who ever cissed a cis, even if I had no trans friends, I'd still be southern and Jewish enough to bristle at folks who have goddamn everything but who are obsessed with how they've been harmed, eagerly looking for reasons to dump venom and winning the suffering Olympics on total strangers online. And I'd still be Queer and old enough to remember the sheer glee of rightwingers talking about how happy they were AIDS was killing people.

It's my profound hope that even cis straights who find the idea of transitioning to be weird, pick up on that difference in rhetoric too, and can understand who the real villains are versus who's just trying to survive.

Created a kitsune rogue for PF2e! *draws back lips enough to get the li’l Errol Flynn fang gleam* I am trained in stuff like Diplomacy, Deception, Stealth, and Actually Able to Move in these Fabulous Boots. My friend’s making a dwarf war-bard.

Out of fucks? Plant empty fields with plants that have fuck fixing bacteria, like beans, or peanuts. This is the origin of things “meaning peanuts to you!”

I spent way too much on a bowl of menudo and they gave me flour tortillas instead of corn but, I feel a little better and I like flour tortillas enough to eat all of them.

a Mexican standoff is like a regular standoff but you get beans, rice, and li'l slices of radish

and when I'm sipping on a Perrier
on some cafe in St Tropez
it's hard to keep the fans at bay!
they say "sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?
"sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?"
POODLE. POODLE.

Entre-nous, it's very true
the room temperature is higher than my IQ
but they like me more than Gerard Depardieu!

The upshot of rereading a big chunk of PF2e rules book yesterday is today's Hot D&D Take; PF2e is basically a successful 4e. You can play anything; feats are how you do multiclassing; there are no dead levels or obviously underpowered class benefits.

But using different feats to benefit more generalized situations feels like something you can play without being linked to a map and keeps bonuses for players from being the ginormous sprawl of 4e abilities.

leaving "I saw a fire bright in a rich man's hearth/with a cold corpse outside the door/it's better to be alive/the living can keep a cow" as a comment on every version of "No Quarter" until either they ban me from YouTube or challenge me to holmganga, whichever one

how have I been chased for so long
how long
how long
every time my heart beats I grow strong
so strong
so strong
all these things are brought up to me
head on
right on
all these things are brought up to me
right on
bright on

NOTHING can stop the DUKE OF EARL

the jungle thought to be impenetrable cannot stop him
the scattered defenders cannot stop him
NOTHING STOPS HIM

man Dancing Days is such a GOOD track

also King Animal is a great album and much as I liked Bones of Birds it really gets interesting after Taree

I woke up with my feet nailed down
and my head movin' the speed of sound
had a dream I was caught in a maze and I couldn't find my way back out
some were born to move mountains around
and some to rot away in jail
I get an itch and when I am scratching
everything can go to Hell!
And how long is halfway there?
I didn't see you on the trail
I've almost become good enough
should the good life be so hard won?
is that what our dreams have become?

sometimes when you shoot an arrow
it can fly across the sky so proud
I would go all the way to the sun if I didn't have to come back down
And how long is halfway there?

oh man this cover of Misirlou makes me wish I had some cigs, some mint tea and some date mahmoul like a civilized person.

No mint tea but it turns out I have genmaicha left so I'm starting water boiling.

"but y'know what the funniest thing about Pathfinder is? It's the little differences."
"Example."
"You can play a spider person. And I don't mean no drow elf, I mean a muthafuckin' 8 eyed arachnid. And in PF2e? You can play an android. You know what they call a paladin in PF2e?"
"They don't call it a paladin?"
"No man, they got 3 actions per round, they don't know what the fuck a paladin is. They call it a champion."
"Heh. Une championne. What do they call an Occult Herbmaster?"
"I dunno, I didn't go into Mork Borg."
