The rules of our lives are changing. We are not in charge of it but we are participating in it whether we like it or not. I hope we do well this time.

Human/magnet hybrids are cool

Upon meeting other Lightbringers: Good greetings in ill times, Friends! No person can risk the world alone. Join others you can share with, They need not be like you. If any of the Priests or Lords among those met are hungry or thirsty or in need of healing the Wind Lord must help them. If the people were unfairly treated it is the duty of the Orlanth Wind Lord to investigate, though definitions of this task are intentionally vague.

Re-reading the classic RuneQuest 2e #TTRPG for the first time in decades. I love the Orlanthi Wind Lords’ ritual greetings and obligations.

@jilllightner.bsky.social Childhood MASH exposure is a healthy alternative

Some advice:

- be kind
- tip well
- stay weird
- festoon your antlers with moss & wildflowers
- disappear into a malevolent fog at least once a month
- become a haunted horror at the dark heart of the forest

Your rhyming is incorrect

Bare room with pink walls and grey curtains giving a serious "death room" vibe

Once upon a time a copywriter could just say "It's Lymon!" and go to happy hour.

My diet can best be described as "fear of missing gout"

Apologies in advance

Hundreds of pictures of 1970 Paris seems like it may be of interest to a few of you, notably @jilllightner.bsky.social

Benoit Blanc and Philomena Cunk independently investigate the same murder and come to the same correct conclusion for vastly different reasons

There's a massive anti-AI bot network that triggers any time there's a post with slight positive sentiment towards AI. If one of those bots attaches to your post, you're hosed.

It sucks and it makes any sort of normal, substantive AI discourse nearly impossible to exist here.

My county's public health dept put out their annual toilet rat PSA, which means that once again I'm just a girl, standing in front of my toilet, hoping that a rat appears in it.

MY 4-YEAR OLD: *calmly, while coloring a picture of the Grinch* If baby grinches die, we can eat them. If they’re clean. That’s ok

I would say my holiday cheer is hovering somewhere between 'about to steal the joy from Whoville' and 'about to be visited by three Muppet ghosts'

Frankincense is the doctor, Myrrh is the stupid sound the monster makes, Kevin.

The world is composed mostly of confident assertions

Late capitalism - Wikipedia

This year marks the centennial of late-stage capitalism, suggesting that maybe it's poorly named:

That one supplement (Champions 3, IIRC), and honestly that one page you shared, introduced me to min-maxing, for better or worse.

VIP heaven populated entirely by cats who lived with human children

The image is of a comic. Panel one depicts a young girl in bed. She hears "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises. Panel two depicts the same girl with an excited expression. She thinks, "That must be santa on the roof!" Panel three depicts the girl smiling. Panel four depicts a possum on the roof in heels making the "CLOP CLOP CLOP" noises.

A white long-haired cat sitting proudly in a litterbox that looks like a space shuttle.

Searching for a new litterbox and dying laughing at this cat who looks like a toilet astronaut.

Bronze plaque saying "A Letter to the Future. Ok is the first Icelandic glacier to lose its status as a glacier. In the next 200 years all our glaciers are expected to follow the same path. This monument is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it. August 2019. 415ppm CO2"

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

My cat is a cozy mystery
