it's crazy to be this high at the grocery store and realize you're not even the highest in your aisle. [next to me one arm hugging a carton of ice cream and chips against his chest as he open mouth stares at the garbanzo beans like they're fruit

the early sesame Street animations were so cool and unique, so captivating, my first graders will get engrossed and be excited like out loud when they come on during lunch. they don't do it like that anymore

had a first grader who's usually just the most difficult and rude kid on the whole floor spend 80% of today not wanting me to put her down so now I have two things - finally got her to get some work done so we have data for intervention - and sore shoulders

How would Abrahamic religion be different if Abraham had not been stopped from sacrificing Isaac, and there was no lamb nearby, and the command was seen through?

there's an essay to be written about goblins and how they've been humanized in fiction and ttrpgs that leans toward the fact that it actually seems more offensive than the semi-sentient evil ones.

If I didn't have a bunch of big projects already I'd teach myself to mod BG3. It would be really cool to try to do a little module, flex the storytelling muscles and try to land myself a game design job, but I gotta finish my short story collection, novel, @spiritoriginrpg.bsky.social all that

this playthrough of BG3 has simultaneously reminded me what a masterpiece it is and reminded me how deeply flawed d&d 5e is, even with their tweaks. mechanically there's just so little juice to 90% of bonuses just doing advantage. but also, the interactivity with environments and jump, push. so good

also kind of annoying the most "bit by the muse" pushed by an outside force to write this thing that just wouldn't leave my mind that I had to make beautiful was this goddamn poem about weed bsky.app/profile/tito...

one of the great pleasures of listening to music in foreign languages is how many languages have an assonance and ease of rhyme especially when a gendered language that English doesn't have and it removes the obstruction of meaning from hearing the sounds the language makes

a symptom of the type of mods that would be into their subreddit going that way drove everyone away because they're also always the Reddit Moderator (TM) who is a complete fascist with their rule. Therefore the still living subreddits lean in the opposite direction on both counts

You know it's winter and its affecting me because I've read 4 books in the past two weeks and played a ton of Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous and BG3 rather than actually being creative and working on my projects. Got like, a page of my next short story done in that time smh

friend who keeps encouraging me to read Red Rising said he's never heard of Annihilation or Neuromancer. where could you possibly be getting your sci Fi recommendations? what corner of the book world does he exist in?

finally started Annihilation and nobody warned me this is basically a horror book wtf. halfway through in my first sitting

we told these kindergarteners if they argued they would have to sit part of recess. Two started yelling at each other, both cried being sent to sit. I told them to grab books and work on sounding words out (their teacher normally doesn't) now they're giggling swapping books. feud solved

Transmutation is about changing your or someone else's body in some way. There are a few different uses. There are the general Stat buffs you can give, giving an animal part to aide in some skill or multiple (monkey tail for climbing etc.) or things to help against the environment #gamedesign #ttrpg

it's funny after work I took a nap then felt like I'd wasted the rest of my day. suddenly at midnight I had a surge and unstuck myself on both the poetry I'm writing and the RPG stuff

insane how many people talk about their fascinating not baseline high fantasy settings and ttrpg games and then they're like "we run it in 5e" why? half of your prep is adapting the rules or home brewing janky rules for levels of tech. just find a new system that does what you want!

just finished Neuromancer (good ending but still only ended 2/5 stars for me, would be 2.5 if Goodreads would allow) and am going to read Annihilation next. man, Gardens of the Moon is staring me in the face from my shelf but that series is so long...

Been reading Neuromancer and I'm determined to finish and I'll give it atmosphere and innovative and a lot of great ideas but also it kind of sucks? Just got to the Rasta men and wow Gibson just keeps hammering down on the The Writer is Clearly a Giant Loser button

haul away fee didn't go through for my new oven, really didn't want to have to take the old oven to the dump myself so I paid the workers the fee in cash to haul it away anyway. everyone's happy and they get to keep the cash themselves

rewatched Gladiator last night because I'm seeing 2 next week and my god is that a top tier movie. the performances costumes everything. the back to back scenes of Maximus's and Claudius' conversations with Caesar is in the running for best stretch in any movie. Richard Harris is so fucking good

Phish only b/c I was in a music league o them, I normally never listen on my own. can't believe it, I diversified my classical listening so much this year none made my leaderboard, but there's no way my most listened to playlist wasn't my classical violin @leyawn.bsky.social shoutout to you my boy.
