My workday was very frustrating. Time to hide in a blanket fort. #PlushieLife

Scenes from Shadowrun:

GM: "So is anyone getting in the windowless white van with all the 'yotes inside?"

The phrase "Divine phylogeny recapitulates ontology" just popped into my head when talking about some spirituality topics and DANG that sounds like something someone from that universe would say.

(important ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recapitulation_theory)

@howlingalice oh good it's not just me. ^.^ (In my case I'm okay with it from intimate partners too actually, but, sounds relatable!)

Yay, out-of-nowhere anxiety attack. >.<

So does anyone else have a thing when their anxiety is spiking and hearing "everything is okay" makes things feel worse because you're NOT okay and you're part of "everything"?

I dunno if this is some sort of spectrumy literal-mindedness thing or what but it sucks. Makes me lash out at people who I ordinarily like who are trying to help me and ugh. :(

@KawaSeadrake This is actually my experience with otter-entities too; aside from the day I got sorta forcibly otterized, the otter influence in me has been pretty laid-back/quiet most times.

@emanate @Jacel
Yeah, f nothing else I can help you pull known-working versions off of PFMuck (Which is FB6)

Also, what're you seeing that's 'broken'? If it's complaining about undefined macros, that's annoyingly common but fixable, I had to track down a ton of those myself.

I feel like all we can do now is remember them well. We'll be keeping the wood. They deserve better than to be carted off and mulched or something. I'm going to get better at carving, so we'll always have something of them around. And we'll be remembering them at our offering fires for a long time to come, I hope.

And the stump is staying, if I have anything to say about it. One never knows what can regrow from those.

I hope all that is enough. I wish I'd been able to do more.

The wind on Friday broke some of their branches, which fell and knocked out power to the house. Everyone else is fine (electrician bill aside) but it seems like it's definitely time, now.

I feel pretty terrible. They deserved better. It's not even a good place for a birch tree. They should be in woods, near running water. Someone 66 years ago thought their yard needed a big impressive tree, and now this. I wish any number of folks had known better how to handle them, us included.

The birch tree in our front yard (they/them) has been dying since we moved into this house. I didn't realize it at first, and by the time we thought to call someone to look at it, it was too late, and may have been too late even when we first moved in.

We've been putting off calling someone to take them down for almost a year, now. Despite the tree's current state, it just seemed too hard, too harsh, to have them cut down. And maybe I still hoped they.d recover somehow.

Guess who just grapple-gunned onto a Tie Fighter, then threw a thermal detonator as they lept off, awesomely landing on a tiny platform above a lava lake!

THIS space otter. ^.^
