part of me was thinking this idea is really good, you know there should be a way for people to actually ask questions and then get real answers from other people, and then I remembered we had that, it was called the internet and then Sam Altman stole all of it and then sells it to people but wronger

Once everything is over, they catch their breath.

The Rebel base on Yavin 4 is alive with chatter, surviving pilots congratulating the new recruits and each other on their victory. A feeling of relief fills the space, light and bright and full of possibility. The Rebellion has a future once more.

They are right to celebrate, thinks Leia, who has made her way to a secluded spot in the corner after giving the proper congratulations and kudos and thank yous. They have served an undeniable blow to the Empire. Many systems will heed the call of the Rebellion with lessened fear. This is a win for the people of the galaxy.

And yet.

it’s also all related. the men who traffic children with impunity are the same ones who start wars, bomb schools, support genocide, ignore laws, shirk taxes, beat their wives and children, and steal every dollar they can from the people. it’s all an expression of the same belief: no one else matters

i think i would tell baby 19-20 year old riley that the space is much smaller and less powerful than it feels like from your current position and all those arguments you're gonna get into are not that serious, but on the other hand, people do take it personally. so just, take a step back.

it literally just came up in conversation a few years ago. he was an obgyn at vanderbilt for his whole medical career & his colleague started a gender reassignment clinic (one of the first/only in the us at the time) & asked him to be part of it. he would’ve been a republican at the time, too

Harvest by gamesfromthewildwood A bloody folk gothic RPG of tradition, necessity, and sacrifice

hi can I interest you in a blessed paradise whose hunger only sacrifice can appease? a desperate community insisting on ancient tradition & terrible necessity? a game played without dice or a GM, driven by a bloody oracle deck & a biting token economy?

anyway if you like the wicker man play HARVEST
