So, I've got a theory about what Delta Rune is really about. (Credit to lots of people online whose stuff I've read that helped me crystallize this, and whose theory this probably originally is.) Delta Rune is about how a player possesses a character, and how that takes away their free will.

Sent my last texts before my shuttle gets in to work... now I can just wait. See you all after the workday when I'll check on what happened.

Better people than I have been fighting for civil rights for decades and centuries; worse people have been fighting against them for even longer. Progress is measured in generations, and the social forces involved are bigger than any one person, and even bigger than any one country.

All we can do is make our time, our place, just a little bit better with our involvement.

Tomorrow we need to take a few days off. Rest. Either mourn or celebrate. And then remember that the fight continues. If we win, we can't get cocky; it only takes one election to change course. If we lose, we can't give up; same reason.

Well, today's an election. Vote, if you haven't yet.

I don't know what's gonna happen today. Anyone who claims confidence is overconfident. If Democrats overperform polls by 2-3 percent, they can take house and senate; if Republicans outdo polls by 2-3 percent, they do. And a few percent is well within normal polling error. Regional differences matter too. So who knows.

But what I do know is what we need to do tomorrow. (1/n)

Played #deltarune ! (Chapter 1). It was very engaging. Reading all the commentary on it is fascinating too.

Too bad it sounds like we'll have to wait a very long time to get the rest of it.

I've been slowly doing a bit of textbanking. Gotta do at least something, and textbanking is the kind of thing I can do in small chunks in spare time and still feel like I'm contributing...
