Y'wanna know the wildest part of Jewish conspiracy theory? Wilder than how there are nearly none of us left, with nearly no money?
It's how they chose THE group which is TERRIBLE about agreeing on ANYTHING. Trust me, if there were a Jewish conspiracy it'd last for five minutes before it fragmented or we'd get into a screamingly loud argument about something mindbogglingly pointless.
Now noticing that like Ep IV, "Conan the Barbarian" is distinguished by a real slow build. We know about his world of different ethnic groups, elaborate myths, fairly good metallurgy, sorcery and slavery long before the movie tells you he's a badass. I like that a lot more than the Jason Momoa one where little Conan was a one-man-SEAL-team before he could shave.
Something I’m sure I’ve hit before, with being heterodox for the holiday, is realizing that doing nothing other than praying all day isn’t punitive, it’s meditative. As soon as I stop, it’s very hard to get back in the groove; of course given my ADHD and childhood, it always *came across* as some sort of punishment.
if you were curious about a jazz cover of the theme to Lawrence of Arabia, I've discovered one I like WAY more than the original track
holy SHIT I just discovered Savana Funk while searching to see if anyone had done a funk cover of the Lawrence of Arabia theme (no, but there are jazz covers)

This book I’m going through riffs off a several generations long feud to talk about 9th-11th century England in general. So far the really neat thing has been a discussion of how coinage worked after Alfred and how there sure seems to be a ton of silver coin circulating England as indicator of why folks like Duke William or the Great Pagan Army would be that interested in the place.
I'm reminded that growing up steeped in the idea that I'm am innately terrible person who invariably fucks up, is NOT a good match for an internet in which any opinion once expressed can be promptly condemned as an indication that I'm an innately terrible person fucking up. Time to remember boundary setting a little more.
Oh yes I forgot to tell you. The Spice is found on only one planet in the Known Universe. The planet is Arrakis, also known as… Dune.

Lots of random gunk, but some drawings and cooking talk too. Obsesses about DnD and related topics. Left-leaning/profoundly frustrated politics. Black lives matter; trans rights are human rights.
