I like a lot of things. But there's usually magic involved in the things I like.
Cushings disease is terrible. But what's worse is after months of my wife trying to get a diagnosis it's 40000 dollars for THREE months of medication that will change her life. Fuck this shit. Deny. Defend. Depose.

Billionaires claiming to have earned their money on their own through sheer skill, willpower and hard work is the divine right of kings for the modern era.

Do you have to pick a lane on this app? Or work on being entertaining? Because I'm getting little interaction and honestly, it's making me sad. I thought I'd try to reach the world with my interests but it's not really going anywhere.

Reading The Qabbalistic Tarot by Robert Wang. Feeling right at home as a philosophy text. Very interesting articulations on the connections between the empirical and the intuitive in regards to academic texts. I'm excited to dive deeper.

I've started a new fashion habit due to my daughter. If she's JUST. DONE. With her headband I take it from her and put it on my wrist. It feels special.

Does anyone know the origins of these symbols if they're based on anything or just made up for Mage: The Ascension?

What's your gender when you feel fine. Good even. When you're male, but shape changing is your #1 or 2 super power wish (the ability to create multiples of yourself is the other contender) because fuck me having Freedom is above all things. Freedom of mind body and space.

Right now, I'm all emotion. Mental health and a wife with her own mental health issues is making me feel Primal. I'm using that word differently than I usually see it used, but it feels right.

I loved The Illuminatus! Trilogy. Best self help books ever. Really helped me when I was younger. Part of me is reading through mage the ascension 20 as a self help guide book.

If you think about someone. Reach out to them and let them know you're thinking about them. It could have a wonderful effect. Insert mental health rainbow hands here.

I love the tarot theme in mage. It makes me wanna start reading my fortune again. You know, even if I can't get in line with synchronicity or empathically/psychically connect to others, back when I made magic a bigger part of my life, it felt more magical.

My family is really connected empathically. I was just thinking about calling my mom to see how she was when 20 seconds later my 3yo said she wanted to talk to grandma and grandpa. So I call my mom and she told me she had just picked up her phone to call me. I want more of this, constantly.

When I first played unknown armies in college I was fresh off of dnd 3.0. We played Bill in Three Persons as the opening to a longer game. We weren't allowed to look at the rulebook and had things drip fed to us. I'm thinking about doing something like that with my wife mage: the ascension.

So after reading 60 or so pages from the mage: the ascension 20th book, I took off my parachute and oriented head first down the rabbit hole. I ordered the newest editions of vampire and werewolf.

Going back to the World of Darkness after such a long time is crazy. I'm a completely different person than who I was in college and have twice as much life experience to look at mage in a new and exciting ways. Definitely going down a rabbit hole.

You have to be okay with feeling uncomfortable. From my wife, when I said I love to tell stories but I'm afraid to tell bad stories. Good GOD I'm my own worst critic.

I have ideas for a story. That's why I'm reading TTRPG books that focus on magic. I want to write a story about magic that's out in the open and I want to create this feeling that magic is there for everyone. But there's so much I don't know yet I'm feeling overwhelmed. But this feels good.

I used to play a lot of the new world of darkness games back when nWoD came out and for a while thereafter. So I wanted to get back into the world of darkness with mage. Let me tell you: figuring out which version of mage I'd like to get into most was some work! I chose Mage: The Ascension 20th

Visiting in-laws. I was worried the wife was going to cut them off because they were being bastards, but they came back in the end to be... somewhat decent. I'm happy for my wife. I didn't want her to go no contact with her parents, but she was ready to. And I'll support her no matter what.

Haven't painted as much as I want to in a long time, but getting back into it with kill team hivestorm. Pretty happy with 90 minutes of work. Not as happy with the white, but I'll watch some videos as I move through the 11 models for the Stingwings. Miniature painting hooray!
