Gorgonize [GOR-guh-nahyz]
(v.)
- To have a paralyzing or mesmerizing effect on; to stupefy or petrify.

Used in a sentence:
"The Egyptology professor gorgonized his students with amusing riddles and captivating anecdotes of the ancient kingdoms.”

Happy Birthday, Mr. Vonnegut.

Happy Armistice Day, everyone.
Vonnegut’s text from the end of the preface to Breakfast of Champions: “So this book is a sidewalk strewn with junk, trash which I throw over my shoulders as I travel in time back to November eleventh, nineteen hundred and twenty-two. I will come to a time in my backwards trip when November eleventh, accidentally my birthday, was a sacred day called Armistice Day. When I was a boy, and when Dwayne Hoover was a boy, all the people of all the nations which had fought in the First World War were silent during the eleventh minute of the eleventh hour of Armistice Day, which was the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was during that minute in nineteen hundred and eighteen, that millions upon millions of human beings stopped butchering one another. I have talked to old men who were on battlefields during that minute. They have told me in one way or another that the sudden…” “…silence was the Voice of God. So we still have among us some men who can remember when God spoke clearly to mankind. Armistice Day has become Veterans' Day. Armistice Day was sacred. Veterans' Day is not. So I will throw Veterans' Day over my shoulder. Armistice Day I will keep. I don't want to throw away any sacred things. What else is sacred? Oh, Romeo and Juliet, for instance. And all music is.”

This is a conversation about what sets apart The Chaos Protocol and all of @transplanarrpg.bsky.social's work from most other actual play.

I am the most spoiled person ever to get to work with these brilliant artists, storytellers, and people not just in Chaos, but out into my other projects, too.

Looks like this is real. About 40% of the flight at 8k feet, then bumped up to 10k, and then finally went up higher, but only to 20k feet. Much slower than normal flight and likely burned a lot more fuel. But the view out the window was probably impressive.

Strength training is political. We have a right-wing which has taken over physical fitness spaces, and hijacked “warrior culture”.

We need a muscular progressivist visions. We need to be strong to build the world we want.

a cropped detail of a digital illustration showing a crazed village woman mid-transformation into a corvid demon. the light from the moon is red and she is levitating in a corn field, her body contorting and a crazed smile adorning her face. a digifal illustration depicting a sunlit forest clearing on which a ruined fort stands. its built of white stone with ivy slowly overtaking it a d through out the image, there are a few goblins scattered, patrolling the grounds. the one we see most clearly, on the foreground carries a spear and a grin on his face. portrait of a brown haired pale man done in the style of an old looking oil painting. it is contained on a thin oval frame a d lit by a single point above. it shows a man wringing out his hands on a dirty rag. he is dressed in a worn white shirt, daek waiscoat and a pale yellow necktie. his hair is falling loosely around his face in a messy ponytail and gis face bears marks of decay. his eyes are glazed over like eyes of a corpse and he has the look of tightly concealed anguish on his face. digital illustration depicting riders dressed in decorated, east slavic folklore inspired garb, mounted on giant goats, flying thru the sunset-lit orange sky. they have gleefull expressions on their face and are adorned in many shiny pieces of jewelery.
