Can't get this shot of Gritty in a Philly airport mural out of my mind. He is feeling FINE.

Anyway and overall today I begin serious holiday preparations by making the bread that will become stuffing

Finished Path of Daggers yesterday. Book 8 of wheel of time. counting the prequel I am now over halfway done

@jakebe does he do this just to make dinner conversations awkard?

COVID and its impacts have only been felt for a few years. Lets not compress time.

Humans havent really changed that much as a species in the last 3000 years. Our technology has improved but people are people

My big issue with how people compare the 1918 flu pandemic and COVID is the compression of time. The 1918 pandemic rebounded for over a decade infecting communities. The changes people laud (like improved ventilation and public health) came after several decades of concerted effort. There were hoards of vaccine and plague deniers in 1918 and some of them (Harding in the USA) rose to power due to it.

I am not saying comparison isnt apt. Just saying the 1918 pandemic had decades of known impact

@jakebe right, like 1) what a dumb idea in general but 2) THIS was the bridge too far?

October for some reason felt like q constant stressor and I cant place why which is annoying as I would like November, my favorite month, to not feel that way

Resisting the urge to write a long screed on how my perceptiona of Werewolf the Apocalypse is fundemntally different from others and makes it impossible for me to play the game

Wheel of Time is an interesting read. I still find it flawed but its core ideas of underestimating people, how information travels/becomes confused, and the way cultures misunderstand each other is ambitious. I think the books largely stick the landing there

@jakebe you just woke up and chose violence today

For all the new NSFW artists coming to Mastodon. Remember being elaborate on your content warnings. "NSFW" is just not enough for kinky fetish stuff. Put all of it in the content warnings to prevent unpleasant surprises for other people. Not only helps that filter what people not like, it also helps others who like that stuff find your works.

Guys, maybe just maybe, werewolf the apoclaypse was a delightful and dumb trashfire and trying to change a core setting aspect undercuts the point of the entire game

Watching people get upset at Werewolf the Apocalypse 5th edition and enjoying myself

I am an inherently cruel and mean person. I just try very hard to be pleasant.

I recently fled long-term domestic abuse and I've been struggling a lot to adapt to my situation. As a result, I have no money to buy food and I'm about £200 overdue on various bills. Please help if you can, please boost if you can!

Trying very hard not to be consumed by bile and fury. This is a long term struggle and something I hate about myself
