why not celebrate with Girl Violence?
I write a lot of Girl Violence :3

important note: this is more or less the backstory for EVERY 'High Elf' character, though the pre-Last Alliance specifics would change

My LotRO character is Rogwaen of Gondolin, who survived the Fall, the War of Wrath, of Sauron and the Elves, and then got stabbed by the Witch-King during the Siege of Barad-Dur and slept for 3000 years until just before the War of the Ring

the chicken hearts is how I went vegetarian (briefly), and the sheep was my Junior year (equiv, I think?) biology. We were dissecting lungs, and they come from the works with the heart

I'm a big "They're not warcrimes, they're crimes against humanity" guy (for my sins), and when doing that sort of semi-pedantry its SO important to foreground the "And that does not make it better" part

Sand - Hugh Howey, 2014. Howey is very good at crafting interesting, internally consistent post-disaster worlds. While i felt like it took a while to get to the big stuff in the moment, the climactic moments needed all the buildup he put in, and it all paid off.

It's not a bad policy, but its not inspiring to make your flagship policy promise As An Incumbent With A Historic Majority "We will reduce a small part of your grocery bill by 15%", not when you literally have the power That Moment to, fr example, remove GST from All Groceries or something

Like. The reason I endlessly go back to "Removing GST from fruit and vegetables" as my example of The Whole Problem isn't because I think its insufficiently Marxist-Leninist-Michael Joseph Savageist, its because its a policy that ALREADY concedes its scope to the 'realistic' and 'fiscally safe'
