The real question about Star Trek II is whether they're burying Spock to "The Yellow Rose of Texas" or the theme tune for Gilligan's Island.

it's only when you try to listen to the most thoughtful, inward-looking or actively sad songs by Stone Temple Pilots that you notice just how many there are

sir, Commander Starfleet on emergency channel. He orders you to surrender this WESSEL.

Listening to the soundtrack I am reminded of how awesome Star Trek II was and how it made so little sense. A parasitoid which does something devastating to its host - but whose life cycle isn't connected to the host falling prey to anything. Big spaceships lumbering into broadside range like it's Trafalgar. Handwavey science remakes a disabled spaceship and a chunk of nebula into a planet. The Enterprise has this super-deadly antimatter port etc in a glass cabinet in the middle of engineering.

#drawings today- a ranger with a light crossbow and a coati animal companion about to ambush a troll. Two rogues, a drow swashbuckler and a halfling gambler.

I'M INFERIOR?
WHO'S INFERIOR?
YEAH YOU BETTER CHECK THE INTERIOR OF THE SYSTEM WHICH CARES ABOUT ONLY ONE CULTURE AND THAT
IS WHY WE GOTTA TAKE THE POWER BACK!

There's only so many ways you can ensure that a "democracy" only votes for you and understands your point of view, so of *course* the Republicans are doing what the Nazis did. Possibly the most superficial resemblance between the two parties.

YES I KNOW MY ENEMIES!
THEY'RE THE TEACHERS WHO TAUGHT ME TO FIGHT ME!
COMPROMISE
CONFORMITY
ASSIMILATION
SUBMISSION
IGNORANCE
HYPOCRISY
BRUTALITY
THE ELITE

Compare trans folks complaining about being targeted by legislation and hate crimes, which is true, to the sheer volume of harassment, threat, self-righteous gatekeeping, lies, convenient statistics, and victimhood which transphobes drop at a moment's notice.

Even if I were the cissest cis male who ever cissed a cis, even if I had no trans friends, I'd still be southern and Jewish enough to bristle at folks who have goddamn everything but who are obsessed with how they've been harmed, eagerly looking for reasons to dump venom and winning the suffering Olympics on total strangers online. And I'd still be Queer and old enough to remember the sheer glee of rightwingers talking about how happy they were AIDS was killing people.

It's my profound hope that even cis straights who find the idea of transitioning to be weird, pick up on that difference in rhetoric too, and can understand who the real villains are versus who's just trying to survive.

Created a kitsune rogue for PF2e! *draws back lips enough to get the li’l Errol Flynn fang gleam* I am trained in stuff like Diplomacy, Deception, Stealth, and Actually Able to Move in these Fabulous Boots. My friend’s making a dwarf war-bard.

Out of fucks? Plant empty fields with plants that have fuck fixing bacteria, like beans, or peanuts. This is the origin of things “meaning peanuts to you!”

I spent way too much on a bowl of menudo and they gave me flour tortillas instead of corn but, I feel a little better and I like flour tortillas enough to eat all of them.

a Mexican standoff is like a regular standoff but you get beans, rice, and li'l slices of radish

and when I'm sipping on a Perrier
on some cafe in St Tropez
it's hard to keep the fans at bay!
they say "sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?
"sign my poodle, s'il-vous plait?"
POODLE. POODLE.

Entre-nous, it's very true
the room temperature is higher than my IQ
but they like me more than Gerard Depardieu!

The upshot of rereading a big chunk of PF2e rules book yesterday is today's Hot D&D Take; PF2e is basically a successful 4e. You can play anything; feats are how you do multiclassing; there are no dead levels or obviously underpowered class benefits.

But using different feats to benefit more generalized situations feels like something you can play without being linked to a map and keeps bonuses for players from being the ginormous sprawl of 4e abilities.
