Reading Pema Chodron talking about being in the present with one's discomfort resonated with my experience of self-hate as a distraction (with other benefits, like being inwardly directed anger that therefore couldn't be spotted and punished).That got me to; distraction from discomfort can be a valid coping mechanism, so the nigh continuous discomfort of the first part of my life meant distracting myself made it possible to cope with whatever bullshit happened next, *and* that I literally had no energy to discover other distractions or coping mechanisms.

the older I get, the more I think the best places to live were imperialistic enough to wind up in the global north but not imperialist enough to be completely impoverished dumps desperately spewing rhetoric about how they're still on top.

If a wizard casts magic missile, he throws 1-4 magical energy bolts which automatically hit.

If a cleric casts magic missal, he’s throwing a book of key passages and prayers.

That minotaur pic looks a little too light so after posting I went back and fiddled with the values, and I feel pretty good about catching that.

#coloring more flats today to fiddle with color schemes, varying success. Two of these drawings are *ancient*! Fantasy creatures, undead, eye contact.

Victims, aren't we all?

Is [TTRPG product] disinteresting to read because aging means my interests are changing, because stress means I'm losing interest in what used to be my hobbies, because it's a little too much wall-of-text hold my interest, or because it gets kinda trite and repetitive?

"Artoo, that rear deflectional stabilizer's broken loose again! See if you can lock it down."
"Dweeeet."

"urethral swab" sounds like something very Gay pirates might say.

"Arrr, be ready to receive boarders, ye urethral swabs! Make fast the mainsail an' give 'em a whiff of chain shot, if you know what I mean!" #crass

have you considered;

Luke staring off into the twin sunsets dreaming of adventure and Rey looking off to the distance after scavenging follow the same pattern as Belle singing about how she wants adventure in the great wide somewhere, and Ariel singing about wanting to explore the surface world from which she's collected so much stuff

therefore, we can conclude both Belle and Ariel are Force-sensitive

@DrSagan so a friend pointed this out and naturally I thought of you

hey, you're not gonna believe this, but I'm pissed off about how much rent is in this shitty overpriced city again

Dude! Trader Joe’s sells toum as “garlic dip” now. Which I didn’t get cause I already impulse-bought prosciutto, goat brie and oat milk ice cream in a new flavor when I was there to buy joyless salad for my joyless lunch breaks!

One end result of a particularly rough few years after a really rough start is that things look consistently bleaker than they actually are (and oof, it doesn’t stack well with the cold weather!).

HEY JOHNNY COPE ARE YE WAUKIN' YET
OR ARE YOUR DRUMS A BEATIN' YET
IF I WERE WAUKIN' I WOULD WAIT
TAE GANG TAE THE COALS IN THE MORNING!

Okay, cranked the math and sent in the money for my taxes. This is way more of an anxiety spike than is probably warranted.

Also, I'm just saying The Clique's "Superman" (covered by REM) really needs a mariachi cover.

last weekend I got a used Pathfinder #5 and have been steadily reading away. I got to the section about Lamashtu and the "ugly/scarred/disabled is evil also wild animals are evil also they sacrifice children" takes me from "dude, awesome dungeon!" to "thinking of selling this."

greaaaat, now I'm sad about corgi puppies.
