GIVING THAT GOOD GOOD FROG ALL THE KISSES

When I tell you I RAN TO MY GAME—

An article about the amazing @arcraiders.bsky.social game, and the spontaneous acts of heroism that you can experience in a genre known for trolling and villainy.

I’ve been enjoying my time teaming up with total strangers to fight back against ARC. I hope others are too.

I need this framed on my wall NOW

Unfortunately my childhood was spent getting it absolutely DRUMMED into my head by my Brooklyn parents that we don’t fuck with parks at night. Alas. Alack.

(Pretty sure the secret is to run in maenad packs)

I want to dance in a field in the night rain and scream into the wet dirt and this is the only problem with living in Queens.

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

I will say there’s nothing in this world like a Covid fever dream. The hole-in-the-wall pizzeria red wine & pizza I dream-ate was god realm apex perfect.

Still mad I asked my doc for the booster in Aug and he said to wait til Oct. It’s me, Boo Boo the Fool for not pushing back.

Hand to God one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes, and probably the reason I latched onto the concept of a Gentle Death as a wee one

"…and Magda Goebbels made a great strudel.”

I have two wolves inside me.

One is BOB’S BURGERS.

The other is RICK & MORTY.

My mom did this for a whole summer in high school in the 70s--she claims because she just LOVED grapefruit so much
and honestly the way she puts away watermelon now I believe she did hit a fruit hyperfixation--but she lost so much weight grandpa banned them. It was 100% a diet fad as well though

gave into temptation and bought a lotto ticket and have been dreaming about the ways I can use that money to help my friends and family.

tell me again how we're the greatest country in the world.

When your brain understands the Maenad need to run in drug induced madness and rip something apart with your bare hands, but because you could NEVER--

You are at home, drinking too much, flexing your hands and wanting to BITE something instead.

Deep cleaning my kitchen it is, I guess.

They ain't coming to save me and that's ok, they have enough shit to deal with, sorry to be a bother.

Spoilers:

I did NOT actually continue answering work emails while RHAPSODY IN BLUE played, but holy cow was it the break I needed.

I would like to thank my playlist shuffle for pulling up RHAPSODY IN BLUE just as I'm staring at another hour of work emails and it's already 8pm.

Big Mood. Ja feel.

This wasn't some fine print in a contract either, this was a clear list of benefits before they picked a level and paid. And they STILL don't understand what they bought.

I am BEGGING you to please completely read and understand what you are buying before you drop hundreds of dollars on a thing.

I'm dealing with folks right now who are making me ECONOMICALLY ANXIOUS with how little they understand what they signed up for.

THEY MUST BE MONSTERS AT TAX SEASON.

Mosquitoes in Queens have hit the August critical mass. I now take a Zyrtec before gardening because no bug spray in the world deters those fuckers and I, a fool, don’t trust the fogging sprays to not kill the bugs I DO want to thrive back there. So, covered in bites that don’t itch it is.

Is there a preferred preorder link? This is the PERFECT present for my wife

I curse the circumstances that led us to meet but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. You are good people and I wish we could spend more time in meat space.

as someone who loves maps, yes.

And likewise Rome didn’t wipe out the people who remained who are being wiped out now

People exist regardless of if they are deemed legit by other states of their nationhood. Nazis stripped people of statehood allowing other “nations” to deny them safety. Fuck nationhood. It’s all smoke and mirrors

I see your point. Just responding to a lot of videos I see claiming nationhood is the end all be all. And that’s fucked among everything else

This for sure! I’m feral for my Israeli friends who understand the difference. The people trying to violently colonize Gaza are lost in the cult

Nationhood does not equal shit because ITS ALL MADE UP. Multiple people can be indigenous to a place over millenniums. The fucked up part is violently displacing and murdering people with their own history to a place.

ISTG every time I see the claim that Palestine was never a nation I look around side eying in Sicilian because Risorgimento was only locked down in 1861. How in the fuck aren’t we all realizing that ALL nations are made up and the points don’t matter?

This show WATSON is going to be my super villain origin story.
