The amount of people I have known who try to pass off extensive and expensive training as raw talent and unguided practice is baffling.

There are many ‘feral’ talents who are uniquely privileged in that they could afford and focus on professional training in adjacent fields.

The official “residuum” dice from CR was too expensive for me to justify and not quite what I’d always pictured. So I went on the hunt and found these sharp-edge resin at a convention.

Working with Canadian Privacy Law gives you a lot of understanding when companies actively choose to violate that for no reason other than they want to.

The wonders of competent kickstarters distribution:
Eldermancy/Ghostfire Gaming- sends invalid tracking, no movement in over a month.

Hitpoint Press- sends tracking, 12 hours later there notice of clearing customs and transit to a Canadian courier.

Sure, customs into Canada is the problem.

Still no movement on the Eldermancy kickstarter book after a month of no valid tracking, no movement, no updates. Last contact with @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social was 8 days ago where they were “waiting to hear back” for Canadian shipments.

For reference, the invalid tracking was received on July 17

And into the final blocking to straighten the nearly 9ft shoulder edge.

40+ hours of work, approx 1770 yards of yarn. But ready for autumn when it gets here.

Well, live and learn. Never back kickstarters from Eldermancy despite the connection to @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social if there’s hope of getting a physical item set.

A month of alleged shipping in Canada and no update, movement, or confirmed tracking.

Expensive PDF only at this rate.

You know summer’s over when it’s 5am and the sun isn’t up yet.

Joined a book club. Looking for a tai chi group. Looking into other local groups.

Possibly a dog.

Took 20 years and a good therapist to get me accepting that there was nothing wrong with writing down or processing my failing mental health in journals and under otherwise anonymous media. That venting in a manner I best associated with was a normal, healthy, coping strategy I needed at the time.

Spent the day moving furniture around only to give up on the plan and reset everything instead. Looks like I might try again but mostly focus on decluttering.

Happy ‘we once overthrew a madman and tyrannical hold on our country’ day to my American friends.

Good luck.

There’s something cathartic about spending a morning listening to Linkin Park scream in my ear.

Woke up stuffed up and sneezing? Found a dusting of pollen on my balcony.

Well. That explains it.
