“Is the seafood you just bought RUSSIAN?” Check for signs like baritone choral singing. I’d say watch for fish driving really badly but that’s more of an international problem.

Consequences of antisemitism are felt by Jews, not by antisemites. And if I were okay drinking tonight, I would drink until I forgot that.

there are basically two types of people who listen to Siegfried's Death and Funeral March, Nazis or fans of "Excalibur."

gah! I didn't explain the little derro wizard dude. My man's keeping some sort of deific/fiendish fetus in a covered cage, and uncovers it to flash opponents with blazingly intense light.

My politics have shifted from despair to hatred again, but that never lasts long.

When I give money to someone’s emergency, something else is also vital and at some point I have to roll with “saying no lets me contribute to further emergencies in the future.” Now I am trying to think the mindset of wanting to help moves us closer to a (unattainable) Tikkun Olam, even when I see myself as merely trying to keep things from getting worse. And of course; if I throw $25 at something it’s big, throwing $100 is beyond possible, but that’s nothing for the folks causing the problems.

Realizing that like everyone else I’ll want to follow more proficient artists, which solves towards more technical skill and professional status, which could become reasons to beat myself up.

Oh and there’s more and more I keep forgetting like how I lost a friend in June, how my mother is probably on her way out, etc. 2023 hasn’t been one of my easiest years, at least not yet.

I don’t especially see myself as fey, despite having played a selchi online and unrelatedly used “Vodyanoi” for a different character, but the pronouns fae/faer really appeal to me at some level and I kinda want to try them sometime.

okay, apparently I am pretty stressed at a consistent low level - which tallies with unemployment, family stuff, new temp job, recently raised rent, record heat as an indicator of climate change, my dreams of professional art vanishing more than usual, and the omnipresent threat of the right/far right.

Pretty much everyone I know comments on how we were "supposed to" get more conservative as we aged but went the other direction.

What I find ironic is the stereotypical old guy is supposed to be profoundly pissed off the world moved left, thanks to The Kids. I find I have stereotypical unresolved anger because the world has moved RIGHT- practicality and decency suggests changes further left of *me*, and yet The Rich decided that the world needs to be even more their profit machine and made everything so much worse.

I went around to the side, and I peeked through the crack
I thought I saw an old man lying flat on his back
if old man Mose was dead or asleep, I did not know;
but after one lookin' through that window, ugh!
I ain't gonna do it no more

for the things in the chair were THE FACE AND HANDS OF HENRY WENTWORTH AKELEY!

now on some dark and stormy night
while the tempest blows
if someone whistles
well that's Mysterious Mose
AND PRAY YOU DO NOT MEET HIM IN ANY OF HIS OTHER THOUSAND FORMS
FOR HE IS NYARLATHOTEP
THE CRAWLING CHAOS

it's practically about to be Halloween, you say?

with his long white beard and a crooked staff
he walks all 'round while the folks all laugh
with a twinkle in his eye he will pass them by
AND PRAY YOU DO NOT MEET HIM IN ANY OF HIS OTHER THOUSAND FORMS
FOR HE IS NYARLATHOTEP
THE CRAWLING CHAOS

My BALLS feel like a pair of maracas
My BALLS feel like a pair of maracas
I probably got the
gono-cocco-coccus
My BALLS feel like a pair of maracas, ay yi yi!
WHY does it
WHY does it
WHY does it
HURT!
WHEN!
I!
PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
