I’m sorry but what in the late stage capitalism is this?? My AITA chisme and video game strategy app is trying to goad me *owl style* into maintaining a streak. girl I barely do the dishes every dang day why would I want another thing in my life to become a chore? Strive less, please.

Attended my first city council meeting today and boy was my district counselor embarrassing. Zimmerman used bad faith arguments to slow down justice for renters. I’d ask how he sleeps at night but I’m sure it’s on high thread count sheets and a mattress that cost even more than rent in Portland.

Co-GMing is where it’s at!! We ran a witch’s road inspired scenario for a player (actually my husband) using a groundhogs day mechanic. In order to progress and leave the loop, the character had to learn to *be vulnerable* and *ask for help*. 🧵

I have such a niche YouTube algorithm: (white) women living in cozy spaces — a bus in the UK, a capsule apartment in Tokyo, a narrow boat (also) in the UK, a cabin in arctic Svalbard, and various cruise ship berths. Do I crave a nomadic tiny home on wheels water or tundra? 🧐 …No. Definitely not.

From a colleague: 2 funding opportunities that prioritized fire resilience and workforce training/public education have been cut in the last wk, likely due to general agency confusion and reluctance to do *anything* just now. So when they say OR didn’t prepare for the next wildfire, this is why.

Book club tonight. We ate cheese and talked about Frozen River and the horror that is this timeline, we had wine and shared self care tips, we enthused about the eggplant dip and contemplated the fall of democracy. Sometimes we just fell silent. Book club.
