Oppression never lasts. Eventually, creatures will take what they need, by any means necessary. Oppressors are victims of systems that empower them, following incentives like anyone else. How long it lasts though? We're historically getting better at seeing it coming. Develop communities! In person!

Maybe I should start posting the wack whitepaper I'm reading atm with an inscrutable comment? Not a dig, legit thought, I'm still learning how to social media.

I've gotten lots of blades on planes, but I've never documented it. I like this.

True! But I don't like it, lol. I think my way is more hobbity. Jrrt might've not had stuff like kinnikinnick in his headspace, plus he was a big fan of changing shit as his understanding/vibes changed. Just, having seen tobacco crops, I don't see it in the shire.

Pretty sure if he played a ttrpg he'd go full dwemer and zero sum.

Sometimes. More often it works the other way, though that's not the style at many tables.

I can help with this if you like, it's one of of my superpowers I guess?

I have opinions on smokables! I don't think it's tobacco or marijuana. I imagine a small shrub which one could grow in a pot in the kitchen window, perhaps a bit larger if you gave it space. Leaf is ground and dried before use. Every family has a slightly different cultivar, bred over generations.

A local keepass db is the way to go if you give a fuck. Or just trust your browser to do it, if you wanna feel like you're doing the right thing. Anything is better than using the same and/or shitty passwords everywhere.

Maybe it's the tequila, but this hit me hard. One more body amongst foundations and all that. I'm not crying, shut up.

I might have the most batshit take on this, but maybe ttrpgs (or everything) can become more local? LGS becomes more vital and does printing? Or folks get under the table games from their local writer. Dunno if thats just communal fantasy. I also think all available space should be food gardens.

Love the edge coloring and ribbon! Would also love to see a chunky "for dummies" sized paperback.

Had more time to think about it, and I think my take is more that for the settings we think about this occurring in, it mostly didn't emerge from intent. It arose naturally over time, with iteration and time and multiple voices. And the logistics of large projects, over time. Jank creates beauty.
