This last month has spent realizing that, if I'm around toxic people or events (for instance, thanks to prior terrible shit), terrible shit happening to me is likely thanks to the higher chance of terrible shit happening, not necessarily thanks to my innate flaws or "proper place" in the universe.
I guess the month ending with getting fired, is consistent.

When Germany went fascist they chose a veteran who'd worked as a blue collar, gone to prison, wrote an (incoherent) book. When Americans went fascist we chose a semi-literate television star and landlord who'd never seen anything remotely like hardship, so I think far more highly of Germans.
"Hitler was a better human being than [anyone really]" is not something you usually expect to say when you're a Queer Jewish left-winger, but uh. Yeah.
The adventurers made their way through a dungeon full of foes the likes of Melf’s Minute Minotaurs and deadly Assault Feet, but finally they were faced with Hellastakked the Boobulant, who the DM definitely didn’t draw on graph paper during lunch.
(And I definitely didn’t come up with this after seeing a very generously proportioned dragonborn miniature)

And hearing that THING address, the UN brings me to the ethical issue sooner than I’d like. I think it’s never truly ethical to wish death on somebody but sometimes it’s the most ethical behavior I can choose and since I’m not in a position to either kill or save the people I feel need to die, it’s largely academic.

Were I to take direct action AGAINST anyone from random Cybertrukk drivers to Trump, Vance, Noem or any of the truly awful people, THEN I’d have an ethical dilemma. There is no ethical dilemma in hating people who have done hateful things, OR in opposing them through peaceful means intended to prevent harm.
I think I’m okay in my current milquetoast feeling actions/reactions, even if my crap temper and personal history with bullies means I WANT to lash out.

much as I’d like to love everybody OR be okay with self assured anger, the further I get from the direct instigators the more muddied things get. And ultimately my big take should be “I want these people to stop doing harm” not “I want these people punished” although it is obvious some will not stop doing harm unless dead or otherwise disempowered. I would be ethically wrong to hate all Republicans; I am not ethically wrong to hate the upper echelon or their SS.
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.
