My vote is Shaman ttrpg and, perhaps because of its being set as far from the future as he could go, I think it's largely not depressing

I’m doing research for a project and found out about the “don’t buy where you can’t work” movement during the depression, where Black people boycotted and picketed places that wouldn’t hire us. Shout out to everyone who’s not going back to Target!

<p>“Don’t Buy Where You Can’t Work” campaigns of the 1930s used effective direct-action tactics, such as boycotts and picketing. </p>

Maybe they're just trying to make it seem played out as quickly as possible so that it goes away

Also struck by how, thirty years ago, I could read "September's coming soon" as "summer is drawing to a close" but that's not the likeliest of understandings for a new listener in 2025

On the way to work I was moved to tears by "Nightswimming" (you, I thought you knew me) so that's an auspicious start to November?

The terror of ambiguity is the opposite of a creative impulse. However much this bathroom cost, that money could have paid for finesse or intrigue or daring or hell even comfort. Instead it paid for materials because it indisputably reads as costly

🐐 British zoology..
Warrington, Printed by W. Eyres, for B. White, London, 1776-77..

[Source]

Historical illustration from "British Zoology" (1776-77) depicting a long-haired goat with a thick, wavy coat standing on grass. The goat has large, prominently curved horns that twist backward. Above the goat, a detailed close-up of the horns is shown, highlighting their spiraled texture. The illustration is labeled "GOAT" and includes handwritten annotations and publication information. The style is typical of 18th-century natural history prints, rendered in fine lines and shading.

One thing about me is I will only read something with mostly correct capitalization or absolutely no capitalization

If You Think It's Cool to Capitalize Everything as Though It Were a Title or Something I Will Gloss the Fuck Over Every Single Thing You Write

This has been in my head since I finished Finding Oz yesterday. It's not a super insightful biography of Baum, but it did point out the irony of "There's no place like home" on the lips of a character, and from the pen of a man, who did not stay home

High school in the early 2000s was bizzare. No one I knew was as disturbed over the USA Patriot Act as I was at fifteen, and I can't help feeling like things would be different now if they had been
