Wardruna - Solringen youtu.be/VJ6NSvs0S1I via @YouTube

oh shit, I got so caught up in *gestures* I didn't listen to the most Solstice (either one) appropriate song out there. So here ya go.

gotta say it's real hard to come up with any enthusiasm for July 4th given the recent big "fuck you yid, we don't want you here in our Christian nation (but we want your money/vote/body in uniform)" vibes.

Images, humanoid characters, implied fantasy violence 

today were about trying to plan out more dramatic lighting and I feel kinda happy about that. Two characters (vengeance oath paladin, dwarf wizard) and a cleric desperately trying to heal a fighter companion, in a tomb, while threatened by a big ogre/goblin type.

gotta remember that the definition of allyship is that sometimes my allies WILL piss me the fuck off, but what we theoretically all want is bigger and more important than me needing to tell them to fuck themselves.

Reading an old Silent Strider tribebook on the pot I find myself inadvertently cranky about some of the book's lore, enough to entrench feelings that Forsaken got tribes rooted in outlook more right than Apocalypse's tribes rooted in ethnicity. I didn't know I had a "cranky Egyptologist" side but apparently I do.

I don't like the heat but having the noise and moving air from the fan is actually comforting.

coyote sing along hour more? 

it's so dreamy
oh fantasy free me
so you can see me
no, not at all
in another dimension
with voyeuristic intention
well-secluded
I see all.
with a mystical mind flip
you're into the time snip
and nothing can ever be the same
yes you start a sensation
like you're under sedation
let's do the time warp again!

sure it's more yell along hour 

THE NATIONAL SECURITY CONCEPT OF COERCION
DON'T LOOK AT ME
DON'T TALK TO ME
I KNOW IT'S AN ILLUSION I CAN'T SEE THROUGH IT!
PROVISION L 3!
PROVISION L 3!
PROVISION L 3!
CULTURE OF SUSPICION!
WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME, WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME?
hands in the air assume the position
WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME WHAT CAN YOU SEE INSIDE OF ME
ev'ryone make their best dead faces!

... I checked and Sabotage/Tire Me isn't a 1:1 mashup - you'd have to fiddle around with the pacing somewhat, despite the songs being the same length and general mood.

re: coyote sing along hour, all caps 

(in a violent time in a violent time in a violent time in a violent)
I wanna be Jackie Onassis!
I wanna wear a pair'a dark sunglasses!
I wanna be Jackie O oh OH OH PLEASE DON'T DIE!

coyote sing along hour, all caps 

Okay, I think I've actually calmed down enough to do this.

CAUSE I CAN'T STAND ROCKIN' WHEN I'M IN THIS PLACE
BECAUSE I FEEL DISGRACE
BECAUSE YOU'RE ALL IN MY FACE
BUT MAKE NO MISTAKES AND SWITCH UP MY CHANNEL
I'M BUDDY RICH WHEN I FLY OFF THE HANDLE

uspol opinion - 

And just as I'm gonna yell more lyrics for "Sabotage," I get recommendations for an New York Times article which reminds me that they're "centrist" collaborator shit who will probably be publishing INSIGHTFUL THINKPIECES™️ softpedaling it to show the OTHER SIDE'S PERSPECTIVE™️​while we're being hauled off in unidentified vans. Thanks.

Oddly this book has photos of a Chasmoporthetes skull and Archaeotherium postcrania!

“Neanderthals! Neanderthals!” I hoot while scratching my armpits furiously, earning me a scowl and melodious high pitched disapproving sounds from the stocky, heavy browed guy at the next table.

One question you ask yourself as a Jewish-American is, if the Third Reich happened again, what would you do, what would your fellow citizens be doing?

And I think one answer is clearly “Democrats would respond by singing Hava Nagila as solidarity, and by reminding us to vote.”

A regret;

My ex had a cat who really, REALLY liked chicken. Like, recognized the word, you could not cook chicken without her yelling at you to give her some.

My ex and I got a cornish game hen and saved it for some special occasion. We were split between "Pepper will have a heart attack over A WHOLE CHICKEN JUST FOR ME" or "I don't know what this is, give me chicken, I can smell it. Smell. Give."

But she was old, and her vision went before she passed away and we never got to try this out.

mh -, journaling, day job 

Part of what really fucked me up in childhood was simply the lack of time and space to explore myself. I went from my parents' home to school and back and if I were really lucky I'd get enough money to go in to Lennox Square or something. Being "stuck, trapped and treading water" isn't a good feeling for someone who nearly died while stuck, trapped and treading water.

I mean, all jobs press "you are stuck, trapped and treading water," and it's especially bad with this job's expectation I'll be there daily basically, but the added expectation that I will dump in a batch of OT at any moment, and Friday it's basically the default, really hits those buttons.

It definitely sets me up for living more often in a state of irritability which I don't like.
