The paradox of tolerance; if Theseus is in a deep cave, watching projections on the wall, and then over time the cave changes and the projections are legit fascists, is it still the Twitter account Theseus signed up for?

uh I think I’m remembering it wrong somewhere

it's just amazing how many things which upset me no end either don't persist for that long, or they're not really crucial, but childhood messages persist;

it's quite possible the stuff that upset me as a kid wasn't really that big either, but when I was small I didn't know that my every possible mistake or display of crankiness *wasn''t* going to become some huge screaming tirade about how worthless or stupid I was, or hours, days of ridicule. And I didn't have a distinctly long life telling me that whatever disaster I'd run into *wasn't* the rest of my then-very short life.

This of course is complicated by how I didn't know that I *didn't* deserve the mistreatment. (At least I'm *probably* past that set of assumptions.)

the insomnia fairy is visiting again

so hey, if you played a monk subclass deeply linked to the Elemental Plane of Water

would they be a Water Monk-ee, or would they be a Deep Friar?

#drawing - the centaur is from earlier, and Harkon Lukas (from Ravenloft, canonically though he’s a violinist I think?) from today. Not fantastic but drawing past an art block (lots of earlier unfinished stuff not shown).

listened to The Sorcerer's Apprentice, but since that's from the third best sequence in Fantasia, I am currently listening to the music from the BEST part of Fantasia.

Snow meant bailing out on my parents early, but my dad got a windfall of shittakes… which he doesn’t like, so I got a windfall of shittakes. I used them to make mushroom gravy for some meatballs I’d made and needed to use up. I also started marinading pork, made green borscht with sorrel, and made skordalia so I can have it over fried cod later this week.

Watched Alexander Nevsky enough times to quote the movie along with the soundtrack *except* the point at which I go into “Thripshaw’s Disease discovered by me, E Henry Thripshaw! I’ll show them at the Royal College of Surgeons!”

There's so much I don't know about how to make pictures, I'm having one of those simultaneously inspired but intimidated moments about that.

Need a nap again/still probably related to The Eternal Night of Seattle. Is it 1700? Is it 0200? How can you tell?

club soda, which does 1d6 bludgeoning damage compared to a greatclub soda, which does 1d10

Trying very hard not to blurt out DO Y’ALL EAT VEGETABLES OR FRUIT LIKE EVER? at this table. Okay we’re talking about pasta sauce now, that’s a vegetable kinda.

wait, how was there a censored version of We Are the League? If you bleep out the swears it's like five minutes of lyrics and 30 minutes of bleeping

oh wow Operation Coup de Main (it's not actually Operation Dead Stick which was my original search string!) - ridiculous good luck; the bridges were held in part by ex-Sov/Polish/French troops under German leadership who probably didn't want to be there and when the German general called for tank support he couldn't as tanks couldn't be moved without Hitler's direct order (and nobody wanted to wake Hitler up for this).

When German tanks arrived a Gammon bomb took out the lead and blocked their column; and an attempt to bomb the bridge while the Brits were taking it fizzled. A close thing.

Like most things around Juno/Sword/Gold beaches, and the aftermath in Operations Goodwood and Cobra, nobody ever bothered telling me about this.

#drawing tonight turned out to be playing with big black shapes and listening to The Anti-Nowhere League. Black dragon breathes a stream of acid on a hapless opponent!

received in the mail the same "oh hi renew your lease in June" they'd taped to my front door last week.

look m8 this place wasn't worth what you were charging when I moved in, it's not worth $70/month more now, it's definitely not going to be fucking worth $150/month more in June, get stuffed

trying to get “Holly Jolly Christmas” out of my head by thinking about Takemitsu Toru’s “Hell Picture Scroll,” and it’s making some nightmarish hybrid of the two

Weirdly it took this long for me to lose the Little Drummer Boy challenge. Btw, hate the song like I hate most of this shitty holiday.

Does anyone else want to treat me like I’m stupid or annoying today? Because a few more isn’t gonna make much difference.
