For anyone who missed this week's episode and want to know our thoughts (both positive and negative!) about Through the Omenpaths, go give it a listen! Ambitious projects deserve thoughtful criticism, and thoughtful criticism deserves open ears.

There is no way I'm beating #Digimon Story Time Stranger by the time #Pokemon legends ZA comes out, so I guess I will simply have to play them simultaneously, over clocking my inner child

It's fucked up how you can get distracted and then suddenly it's like a month later & you have no sense of time or how you relate to the world bc some minor issue cascaded into a Zeno's paradox of subissues that totally overtake life & this happens month after month & anyway I turned 32 last week

Update still working on it, been a rough month for a few reasons+ a lot of scope creep because as it turns out everything is connected and all things contain within them all other things.

.... so I need to really pull back and keep it focused

Yep I tend to be very big on the "people I normally see talking about imposter syndrome are demonstrably more accomplished, competent experienced, etc than me,so clearly if that's imposter syndrome then I must actually be an imposter and am only telling myself it's just imposter syndrome to cope"

by age 30 you should have:

* strong opinions about birds
* 12 different "when i get time" projects on indefinite hiatus
* sandwich(es) you fruitlessly yearn to have again
* a growing list of obituaries you're looking forward to reading
* parasocial friendships with other people's pets

Watching now and so far have nothing but praise and one minor note that If it matters to you , the script has a couple phrases that got changed before public release of the set( not done so maybe part of an Endstone revision joke for all I know)

Yeah man he’s a character. He characts, confirmed. He’s developing distinct personality traits and motivations. I’m telling you he’s characting right now. He’s appearing in a work of fiction

I was prepared for it given SDCC coming up but it is still quite frustrating

I feel like they're a lot closer to Thelema:
-"Do what thou wilt" gets quoted near verbatim,
- view true will and fate in terms of stellar gravitation (albeit at a later stage of a stars life cycle)
-there's some argument to be make for entering a black hole as parallel to Crossing the Abyss

It's very fun because we weren't told what the spider man versions of the cards were, but like sometimes it was pretty easy to clock.

I actually love the stylized spelling, but it is funny to me since // has an established meaning in magic card names

Like, notice that Raphaela follows that line by saying she will never recur, versus the endless recursion of a loop mantra, so either she is quoting and refuting a Summist mantra, or contemplating the meaning of a mantra common to both faiths but interpreted differently

I do not believe it's an error that the Summist loop mantra appears in a Monoists Death poem, I think the key is that for Summists it is an endless loop of creation and for Monoists it has been shaped so that it collapses to a single point identical but distinct to the beginning.

I'd better get started on that essay I said I'd do about theology and mysticism in #MTGEternities , shouldn't I?

The Em Dash Responds to the AI Allegations β€œIn recent months, a curious fixation has emerged in corners of academia: the em dash. More specifically, the apparent moral panic around how it is...

"Writers have been using me long before the advent of AI. I am the punctuation equivalent of a cardiganβ€”beloved by MFA grads, used by editors when it’s actually cold, and worn year-round by screenwriters. I am not new here."
