This shot could have been waaaay better, but there we go, heh.
Turned into a dirt track road and this jackal buzzard was just trying to take off with a rabbit roadkill. Startled by the car, it flew up and started slowly climbing while I scrambled for my camera, which was off and not set up or anything, so I just flicked it into auto to get a shot before it flew too far away.

@zebratron2084 @KawaSeadrake oh jeez, Take Me Back on the Bad Nostalgia Train, when I was hanging out with a rabid Vampire: The Mopening crowd, and it all just seemed desperately *boring* to me. I played Malkavian for lack of anything better to do, but if I were rustled into a game nowdays I'd definitely play either Brujah or Nosferatu and make myself a *complete* pain in the ass to the Pretty Bloodsuckers. XD
speculative exercise
@starkatt me too, but I could probably walk it! I'll--probably have forgotten this by tomorrow, but if by some chance I remember or am reminded I might be interested next year!
dream
@thefishcrow when I say my breath weapon is sarcasm I'm not entirely joking! XD
@Lanceleoghauni and I have *frequently* appreciated them myself; it's *so nice* to see something behind a CW like "poli" and just think "nope, not gonna look at that right now." XD
@Lanceleoghauni yeah--although I sometimes second-guess myself when posting with a CW, I rarely worry that I'm using CWs *too much*.
it's just a tool. any tool can become a weapon in sufficiently motivated hands. any tool can be dramatically (and sometimes hilariously) misused, sometimes to create interesting or amusing things. it's not inherently bad, or inherently good. it's *just a tool*.
I will use CWs for:
1. things that are triggery for me personally
2. things that are common triggers, insofar as they are known to me
3. things that people ask me to use CWs for
4. really long posts (especially when there's a bunch of posts on the subject)
5. me being socially difficult (snarky/sarcastic/etc)
6. if I damn well feel like it
7. some jokes
I always endeavor to make the point of the CW as plain as possible, because otherwise it's kinda pointless to have one.
