me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
Why is it that in almost every D&D group I’m in, SOMEONE wants to have a joke character. And no, I don’t mean like a choatic neutral bard or something, I mean a goddamn chicken. You wanna be a fucking chicken??? A CHICKEN???
I SPENT SO MANY HOURS CRAFTING HOMEBREW RACES, AND CLASSES AND SHIT AND YOU WANNA BE A NORMAL FUCKING CHICKEN WITH A BIG SWORD??? REALLY???? REALLLLYYYY????
So no, I don’t really mind bards.
Me talking to new player: So what race and class did you decide?
Him: Umm a rouge and uuuuuh bird person.
Me: Oh an Aarakocra?
Him: A what? No, like I’m still small but … like a bird furry.
Me: A small … bird furry
Him: Yeah like a coupla inches tall … but my knives are normal size.
It’s absolutely critical to acknowledge that Texas didn’t just Almost Swing Blue out of nowhere, it was with a progressive Democratic candidate who spent the TIME to campaign and energize voters. I will always have criticisms of democrats and frankly the electoral system in general but I really feel like Beto did this in the best way that he could and it WORKED. Even if he didn’t win, he established a huge blue voter base in a state where voting democrat has felt pointless for years. It’s actually kind of cool.
There’s a lot to unpack here.
+the flexibility to get in that pose
+the balance to stay on the skateboard
+the strength to pull back a bowstring with your toes
+the dexterity to hit a target while moving
+the coordination… not hand-eye, but foot-eye
…I don’t know what to do with these things now that I’ve unpacked them…
every joke about florida in the good place is 100% true. my high school was like two blocks away from a suspicious tourist shop that sells live turtles and my graduation was held in the venue in which hulk hogan betrayed randy savage and formed the NWO
addendum: we just passed a state amendment in florida that bans both offshore oil drilling in state waters, and vaping in indoor workplaces. both things. both of these things together
pour one out for all the people who’s messages went unanswered because i told myself i’d answer them later but when later came around i decided it was Too Late
your votes made a difference, don’t let anyone tell you different!
THIS
People getting out and voting got us back control of the House
YOUR VOTES HELPED WIN VICTORIES
Yes, it would have been awesome to get control of the senate as well but this was still a good night where good was achieved and it was thanks to people getting out and voting
This was a victory
Do not forget that
And remember the power that getting out and voting gives you when the next election comes around as well
