"You look sad," the dragon said.
The old knight smiled wanly. "Not sad, exactly. Wistful. I'm nearing the end of my life."
"Any regrets?"
"Some."
"That you won't be remembered as a dragonslayer?"
"No! No, that's a young man's foolish ambition."
"You will be remembered, my love."

It's strange how complaints about "cancel culture" are actually about people refusing to pay money to bigots.

Boomers: Get an entry level job, work your way up, get raises, get promoted, then retire.
Also Boomers:
- make the requirements for all entry level jobs only obtainable with experience entry-level employees dont have
- make pay and raise increments functionally nothing
- hire outside the company when new positions open
- retirement is basically a joke at this point folks
Also Also Boomers: Why do you hate capitalism so much???

Like the year is 2033, and Billionares now have Fursonas, 60% of the world population are furries, and all social status is based on how many artists you're the Patron of.
I feel double out of the main sequence trans experience due to being Plural and keeping my given name.
It's like... Why would I rename the Max Corporation? We were going for non-binary anyhow, this is really more of a brand Reboot.
On top of that, "Being Male" is a lot easier to do now that I don't feel Forced by Biology.
I was seriously bracing for titty skittles to kick harder than this? I have no idea anymore.
Set, Anubis, Ammet, and Cerberus: *hanging out at a psychopomp cafe*
Me: *enters the cafe*
*nymphs and dryads eye me nervously*
Me: *reaches into coat pocket, a low squeaky sound is made*
Set, Anubis, Ammet, and Cerberus: *ears perk up*
A dryad: *glares at me*
Me: *pulls out squeaky toy*
*cafe yells*
Me: *throws the squeaky toy*
Set, Anubis, Ammet, and Cerberus: *run after the toy, they knock over a satyr with a latte*
Me: *makes a break for the Underworld*

I dunno about all y'all, but with everything going to hell all at once, I'm kinda confused on what to do other than Yell at everyone who's Tuned out right now to wake the fuck up and pay attention to Reality.
...And as someone with a disassociative disorder who falls into Fantasies way too easily, I feel I'm qualified to know about Delusions.
The longer folks stay in their fantasies that Everything's Okay, the longer we keep stumbling thru events like an addict who can't admit that their behavior is problematic.
Periodic reminder that "knowing lots of things" does not make you any of the following:
- superior
- a better person
- lovable
Understanding other human and using that knowledge to support them, makes you a better person and lovable.
And just throw the idea of "superiority" out of the window. Nobody fucking needs that one.
