Some days my brain just ends up coming back to the lightning in a bottle which was Mage: the Ascension. It was an impossible game, truly terrible and wonderful, emergent in a way that feels like it could never have been entirely deliberate in its construction.

When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men conspire to preserve an unjust status quo, good men must unite to bring about the birth of a society undergirded by justice.

Martin Luther King Jr facing a political moment not unlike ours:
“In several Southern states men long regarded as political clowns had become governors or only narrowly missed election, their magic achieved with a “witches’” brew of bigotry, prejudice, half-truths and whole lies.”
