I know Portland is a warzone and all, but it is shocking to read that a *Seattle* polycule has officially signed Sasha Colby. How will PDX ever recover from this?

I wish the headline made clear that she's donating the money which is cool and good and if there's no room for forgiveness then there's no room for people to do better

I'm barely on SocMeeds these days, but on a quiet Sunday, sipping my coffee, it is deeply comforting to see that the NWSL continues to be an absolute Clown Shoe-clad disaster.

The concept of Rapture Day would be way more fun if it weren't for all the religious fundamentalist with a penchant for family annihilation and an over-zealous commitment to the bit.

I mean, you have *time* to relax but your brain needs to have something to work on, so why the hell not?

Plus you have all this inspo to draw on because you just did a thing or had an experience and are wondering where else can I do this thing or try this food/drink, etc.

What how, now? Do you get 10 more years as an XP bonus in life, or did you have to roll for that?

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.
