The demon looked around. There was a summoning sigil drawn in the ruddy sand, but nobody... It shifted its perception to the spiritual plane. Ah. A dust devil.
"Why hast thou-"
"A battery."
"A battery?" The demon looked around. "What need for a battery on Mars?"
"For our friend."

"So this is it? The Token of Power?"
"Yes. Whoever holds it has the Ultimate Power in the kingdom."
"No wonder wars have been fought over it. Stand aside."
She hefted her war axe.
"What are you-"
The Token shattered under her blow.
"Give everyone a piece."
"Everyone?"
"Everyone."

"Fear not, fair maiden," the knight said, "I shall free you."
"Go away," said the woman, "I'm bait."
"What?"
"This is the dragon's clever plan to meet you."
"Meet me?"
"Yes, he saw you fight someone and was smitten."
"He did? I mean, he was?"
"Go!"
"This dragon, is he handsome?"

It looked like just another quest notice.
DEFEAT DRAGON
WIN PERMISSION TO WOO DAUGHTER
"There's a princess?" one knight said.
"No," said another, "it's not from the king."
"Then who?"
"The dragon's daughter."
"Hmm..."
"Really?"
"She shouldn't need permission."
"Fine. Let's go."

I was out walking, lost in thought, and paid little attention to where I was going. Imagine my surprise when I found myself in the Library of Unwritten Books.
I wasn't allowed to read any of my own unwritten books, but I read one of yours.
It was really good. You should write it.

re: Unpopular US Political Opinion 

@mawr I still maintain that people who advocate for totally disarmament come from a place of extreme privilege that they are not aware of or feel they will benefit directly from the disarmament of the general populous.

Both groups in power have pushed extreme amounts of propaganda into the public eye.

Anecdotally I'll point out politicians like Leeland Yee. A California state senator who was perhaps one of the most virulent and egregious anti-gunners in the state for decades.. and is now sitting in a federal prison after getting nailed in a RICO case involving... gun running and not just civilian sporting weapons to but rather selling machine guns and rpgs to right wing extremist organizations, known terrorist groups and the Triads.

The more naive group pushing for disarmament are perhaps heavily biased by American Exceptionalism and seem to think we somehow have a semi-functional justice system in the US or honestly seem completely unaware or willingly unaware how much our governments fail our citizenry by design.

Ultimately the real heart of the issue is that is easier to talk about banning firearms than it is to talk about solving all of the issues that lead to violence in the first place and the people in power benefit far more from taking one of these actions rather than the massive revolutionary effort it would take to build a better future for everyone.

Unpopular US Political Opinion 

"The war on guns" will be twice as expensive and every bit as effective as "the war on drugs" has been.

What we need is a political party that gives a shit about the future, so people feel like there's something worth working toward.

What we have right now is a brewing cold civil war with one side who's been stockpiling weapons and ammo for decades, and the other who wants their side to DISARM.

And who is it that takes the weapons away?

ACAB. Don't fall for it.

I had my mind fucking blown in a bad way a couple of days ago after a roomie asked for some canned soup for quick meals and fucking progresso soups are $5 a can now at our local safeway.

Tina's frozen burritos? Up to 75 cents each from 25.

@mawr

Shit has not changed since Obama's first year in office. Tipped federal minimum wage is still $2.15/h.

What the actual fuck.

Then again my household can't afford to buy a house anywhere we could safely live and work with two six figure incomes D:

Price increases are crazy bad here on food stuffs. Average cost of my household grocery orders which account for cooking 4-5 meals for 4 people with leftovers to cover at least 1 meal the following day each are up 40% in the last six months.

Any semblance of sanity if you try to eat out here even like... fast casual or formerly cheap things like.. Lee's are.. basically $10-15 USD for a meal.

Thankfully working from home makes cooking more viable but I'm literally cooking like my parents did when we were broke as a child. Buy meat only when it is on sale, cook large pot meals (jambalaya, creole, soups, curry) with lots of rice or tri tip when it is on sale and shred it for sandwiches over the next couple of days.

A spaceship landed, and an alien emerged.
"We have heard of the wonders of Earth," the alien said, "so have come to experience..."
They began reading off a list.
"Chocolate. Chilis. Coffee. Cats. Cinnamon. Cloudberries."
"We have things that start with other letters too."
"What?"

Good morning! I wish all queer people a lovely day today and all cops a sharp and hard-flung brick to the face ❤️

Otherwise seems like a solid list!

Grump... so much sleepy grump.

Didn't get a lot of sleep this week... on pto today and tomorrow so... yesss can sleep in. Alarm set for 11:30am. Went to bed at 3ish am. Natural dragon sleepy cycle time.

Phone call from my mom at 10:30am. Just talked to her yesterday.. so must be emergency or something bad. It was.. not great news, cousin I had a lot chat with recently because of queer stuff and coming out to his parents going -badly- is in the ICU and having a heart balloon installed. sigh.

Image, fantasy creatures, SFW 

today, a kobold war band. Mostly spears and ranged support. I figure the sorcerers have way more draconic looks.

re: DOOM 2016, some thoughts 

@Draekos DOOM Eternal embraced the crazy arena fight stuff to an extreme but did it much better. It is a dramatically more fluid and better game in my opinion. Even if it is incredibly intense and I could only play it a few hours at a time and even then it basically drained every drop of focus and mental energy I had.

Which was a shame because it was really fucking fun.
