Today I DMed a game for a group of friends in person for the first time in years, and it was so stinking amazing! They were all newbies, but seemed to really enjoy it. I have been running public dnd games for the last few years now, which I absolutely love, but there’s something so special about playing a game with a group of close friends, and the trust and interaction in those games.
Just finished hamlet & had to share THIS
being an extremely light sleeper who doesn't go to bed until 3-4 am so no matter where i live my roommates & friends say stuff like, "wake us up if the tornado sirens go off, "wake us up if the tsunami sirens go off," "wake us up if that bear comes back by camp,"
when people say these things i can't help but feel i'm satisfying my evolutionary purpose as night guard. it's just easier now than it would've been for me 10,000 years ago bc i have a flashlight and a weather app.
In celebration of pizzamas coming up next month, I present low quality pizza john with pizza potato. I feel like its giving pepa pig for some reason? If I have time i may try to diy a shirt out of it lol. DFTBA
Secret recipes are so silly to me. Someone asking for the recipes for something I’ve cooked is, to me, the highest honor I could receive. To deprive them of that recipe is absurd. If you like my soup so much you want to cook it that is an absolute honor! It almost certainly came from some box clipping anyway. Here, have a list of all the ingredients I used! Riff, remix, mess it up six hundred times before you perfect it I don’t care! Make it your own. To me the sacred part of food is the joy and love it brings, who am as a mere mortal to deprive you of a recipe?
10 year old college humor sketch that i watched at 1am last night and have since watched five more times
There was a time when women did these jobs.
Some of them really liked the work and were keen to continue doing it. But society basically told them to collectively "get back in the kitchen" when the men returned home from war.
The tradition of conditioning women, from birth, to have a distaste for these jobs continued. Young girls are discouraged from even taking an interest in the toys representing these occupations. God forbid they put Barbie in the firetruck.
The truth is, most men do not want women doing these jobs. They complain about how dangerous this work is and use that as a metaphorical bludgeon in debates about equality. But when women actually try to be firefighters and combat infantry, they are told they *can't* do these jobs. They are inferior. Those who are hired have to work twice as hard to get half the respect. They are inundated with sexism and misogyny. And many end up quitting, not because they aren't qualified or they don't like the work, but because their male coworkers make the jobs intolerable.
And instead of fighting to make these occupations safer and valued properly, these men just complain that feminists don't know how hard it is and how they don't understand what it's like to risk their lives for no money or benefits. And then rich assholes like Elon stoke these flames because he doesn't want these men to realize this is a class struggle rather than a culture war. And that feminists and "woke activists" would actually be wonderful allies in helping them get better conditions.
Lastly, there are feminists talking about this. There are plenty of non-men interested in these jobs. But I doubt Elon keeps up with very much feminist discourse other than what he invents in his imagination.
Beyond that, feminists can't seem to prioritize stuff like this in the mainstream because they are too busy trying to regain control of their uteruses.
Did I miss anything?
Oh yeah, fuck Elon and fuck "End Wokeness".
