I have had more than one session devolve (evolve?) into a 3-hour fully role-played shopping trip.

I figure, if the players are having fun, plot can wait.

I’m not a big food person. I plan to finish my 50K words on my novel draft over the long weekend (yes, I’m a NaNoWriMo person) and we’re going to see the new Knives Out movie in the theater on Thursday.

For me, it’s accepting that even one small change would have a huge chance of me not sitting where I am right now. And I’m pretty okay with where I’m sitting right now.

(How’s that for radical acceptance?)

Call for Schumer to step down, or we’ll know you cared more about getting home for Thanksgiving on time than for our healthcare.

I don’t know the stats on ballots postmarked at the last minute, but I suppose they’re out there….

We always go to a drop box. Then we have ice cream.

Ballots dropped in mailboxes (not drop boxes) TODAY may not count - USPS is saying they will no longer guarantee same-day postmark.

My dream is to run a campaign that is basically just … the entire plot line of the Marvel comics run, minus the movie adaptation issues.

Yes, including the 7 ft tall bipedal rabbit.

She was the best.

“Wade Garrett’s the best.”

Wade Garrett’s getting old.

Pelikan Hub this evening (worldwide gatherings of fountain pen fans sponsored by Pelikan pens), followed by my usual Friday late-night @ Denny’s writing get-together, with a Daggerheart charity one-shot run by my wife tomorrow morning.

This. Tall, hot, intelligent, take no shit, female.

Finished up a 6-week online writing workshop last week, so now my Saturdays are free for movies again. Going to see “One Battle After Another” today.

Probably play “Ghost of Yōtei” the rest of the afternoon.

Something something “paradox of tolerance.”

I’m with you. Some ideologies are so vile that they must be stamped out with extreme prejudice every time they try to rear their ugly heads.

Anything that denies the humanity of another person absolutely falls into that category.

Tax the rich, Bob. That’s what your bosses have been telling you to do ever since you were elected.

I hear you. I was there on Opening Day in 2011 when Josh Lueke was announced as part of the Mariners’ lineup.

Mariners GM said “We’d have stopped the trade if we’d known.”

Mariners pitching coach - “I told you about it, you lying liar.”

And the Rays took the SOB in trade later that same year.

I mean, they’ve gotta do SOMETHING with all that Omegaverse stuff they scraped, right?

Yuuuuuup.

We had a whole discussion in my writing group’s Discord server about the fact that there is simply NO sexy word for “balls.”

Just corroborating your point, and affirming that this is why, while I like READING spicy scenes, the ones I write are all pretty much fade-to-black. It is NOT for the timid.

That’s the fun part about military contracts - the only party ACTUALLY bound by them is the service member.
