also recently I realized (or probably rerealized), that there are a lot of ways to be successful (or failed, and they're not necessarily exclusive); it's just the whole financially well off, has laundry list of big obvious achievements, married with kids is the easiest to *see*, and therefore is portrayed as the only success there *is*.

yesterday's realization that this election pushes some fairly personal buttons;

* people considered to be good seem to get away with anything, as though it's been decided that because they've been the officially good people in the past, that can't change.

* the ADHD/C/PTSD screwed perception of time. I heard about Trump nonstop before 2016, in 2017-2020 even when I was less politically active because I was depressed and sick he was still there, after 2020 he was constantly there thanks to ever-new items of bullshit he'd pulled in office, now it's 2024 and even if he somehow loses I anticipate election denial, possible insurrection, and further new items to mean he's constantly there. To my broken brain all this feels like I've almost never lived and will never live without his constant threat.

so in The Wild Robot, Mark Hammill plays a bear. This gruff, deep voiced character older and crankier than anyone else in the movie. So essentially you've got a movie where Mark Hammill plays Harrison Ford.

imho the point of 40K is that pretty much every faction is right bastards AND anyone can be true heroes.

like; what's ACTUAL heroism if you're an 8' tall superhuman in ceramite casually blasting away with what's normally a squad support weapon? What's heroism if you're merely a normal human in a battlefield full of 8' tall superhumans and somewhat plastered green Arsenal fans in search of cheap kebobs? What's truly heroic to a somewhat plastered green Arsenal fan in search of cheap kebobs?

whoa Coldplay's still around?

leaving "AAAAAAAH! *runs, flails hands in air" as a comment on all early Beatles tracks on YouTube

satanic messages, sure, but did you know when you play The Beatles' "Number 9" backwards, they tell you about "Number 6"? Either that or if you play it while standing on your head, I'm not quite sure.

Here’s a #drawing from Sunday as well!

Today’s being uncomfy, so here’s some fall color photos from Sunday.

and now something nobody asked for

what if FURRY PORN were 90s WARHAMMER ART?

The world has changed. Much that once was, isn’t. It began in the faraway kingdom of Salamasond. But then King Yertle, the King of them all, decided the kingdom he ruled was too small. He ordered all the turtles onto one another’s back. And into this stack he poured his cruelty, his malice, and his will to dominate all life.

Anyway. This weekend was the Antiquarian Book Show, so I went early with my Dad. Not entirely selfless since I haven’t been since 2019 and I thought I’d find something fairly recent but affordable. A lot of valuable stuff was in cases; here’s some of what interested me.

hey it's fox weather!

Hallmark movie where a big city girl is called out to a routine excavation around Christmas and Otzi the Iceman melts her heart with the power of love and also h̶̖͎͒̈ͅa̵̢͔͝l̶̛̥͎̙̥̈́̐͘̕ľ̸͜ụ̶̲̈́̍̐c̵͎̤̽ȋ̴̬̃̂n̸̺̗̲̙̪̆̏̐̆͠o̸̟͇̿̇̌͆͠g̸̝̱̯̗̬͐͐̐̏̿ḙ̷̢̡̪̈́̍̌̔n̷͎͛ḯ̴̭͕̂̊͜c̶͖̬̃̆͆̋͛ ̶̲̎m̶̨̗͎̆̽̿̾u̵̥̲̓̂̇͊ͅs̷͉͓͕̘̎̆̃̒̅h̸̙̑̈́r̷̯̓̒͗̅̀o̵͕̹̓ö̵͔͎͇̪̇̊m̷̛̜̠͚̅s̶͔̝͍̤̑̏̆͌

(we've taken a few liberties with Otzi, hope his descendants aren't furious as that's about half of Europe)

Little cartoon partly done during a talk about collecting pulp magazines. I guess this is a little more 50s Men’s magazine than 30s pulp though.

thrown out of the Warhammer store for loudly declaring BANEBLADE LET IT RIP every time I put my tanks on the table

for the longest time I conflated Seth McFarlane with Todd McFarlane and I was very confused

Todd McFarlane’s “American Dad” *draws like a thousand little crosshatchy lines*

Plato’s allegory of the Man Cave in which the inhabitants perceive reality through the filter of a big screen tv watched with cold beer from a huge comfortable couch. In this analogy it is the philosopher who makes the necessary phone call and orders delivery.

SPICY SZECHUAN STORIES, four issues of sizzling woks and hot peppercorns! Though some folks will denigrate these pulps as just tripe.

Starting to feel that all negative emotions are justified in feeling, they’re just less useful to hang onto, and the big difficulty here is that I feel them because I feel threatened, and it’s a lot harder to accept that I’m not especially in conditions which seem so persistent as to seem permanent.
