Any time there's a false flag anarchy tag slapped up somewhere it makes me nostalgic for 90s Avengers when they all had leather jackets with the A logo on them.
I haven't read (and do not desire at this point to be told) any plot summary or details for the Eternals beyond the casting but I really hope that Black Knight/Sersi is a thing in it.

(This tweet super does not contain a question.)
Sersi was my favorite Avenger for a long time just because I really wanted to be her. Party girl socialite with unlimited wealth, close to omnipotent within a short radius around herself. Scruffy hauntéd/curséd bad boy boyfriend with a hover bike and (at that point) a lightsaber.
...although as much as I liked Dane aesthetically, I usually fell asleep imagining myself being double-teamed by Thunderstrike and Hercules at that point in my adolescence.

I've got a doctor's appointment (fingers crossed for ADHD meds) and really hoping to make $100 today to start my week out. If anyone's got extra to help with that, I appreciate it

My psychiatrist recently ended her practice. My neurologist previously told me he's willing to take over my prescription, but getting ADHD meds is so fraught right now that I think I'm going to be anxious until it actually happens

Aside from getting the prescription, it always seems to be a toss-up whether the pharmacy will have them or I'll be waiting a month or more for them to come in... and my normal ADHD problems with focus and memory are so much worse now.

Hey, everyone. This is a long-overdue life update thread. Don't know how long it's going to go on, but I'd say there's a chance that I come back and add to it later on another day.
I've been trying to be more active here on Twitter in order to be more connected to people and events over here, my supporters and friends and the communities I've interacted with and been a part of.

But it's hard for me to be on here, and probably unhealthy.
I have so much anxiety each time I come here, and when I get past that and start looking around... I mean, we all know this site was designed to get engagement in the worst possible way, even before being run by someone determined to boost the worst possible people.

"How can one person be a they? It doesn't make sense."

Same way one person can be a he or she.

"Those words are singular."

No. Those words, like all words, are shapes and sounds. Words don't make any sense. Words don't do anything.

We make words, and we make sense of them.
There's all kinds of other arguments that favor the validity of singular they, including the fact that even people who claim it's a contradiction use it reflexively when the *only* thing they know about the unknown antecedent is that it's one singular person.
There's the argument about established use, where "they" has been used as a singular pronoun for longer than "you" was standardized as the second person singular; "you" is still grammatically plural, as in "She is one person. He is one person. You ARE one person."

Here's a reason I'm a pro-mockery of the OceanGate fiasco: that whole "regulations stifle innovation" thing that crops up in their PR to present the whole "untested and unlicensed" thing as a feature rather than a bug: people who want us eating heavy metals for breakfast say that
The idea that safety regulations and oversight are anti-business, anti-competition, anti-future, and anti-human survival (because the geniuses who would save us have their hands tied)... that's a huge and consequential part of right-wing/libertarian mythology.
And no, I'm not saying that libertarian and right-wing are the exact same thing. That's why I said both of them. Because they aren't exactly the same thing.

But there's a lot of areas where their goals and methods overlap perfectly, even if their professed beliefs do not.

Don't disagree with Representative Raskin here about the principle, but we all need to be ready for the fact that the GOP attacks on Joe Biden via Hunter aren't likely to stop or even change no matter what he does or does not do.
And counting on the people - even those who aren't specifically part of the right-wing echo chamber - to notice the disconnect and the hypocrisy... well, I mean, a lot counts on the media not blandly reporting/repeating the attacks like they're normal and well-founded.
The idea that is prevalent in so much of the media that the proper thing to do is amplify both sides and if one of them is absurd or dangerous, "the American people will see and decide that for themselves".

But to the extent they trust the news, they trust the news.

Writing this thread yesterday was a huge aid in further clarifying and refining What I'm Doing Here with this TTRPG project.

Today I'm finding that weighing against me a bit, as I remember how much writing the thread felt exciting and like I was doing something...
...and how much more it felt like I was getting something done and communicating ideas clearly in the thread vs. when I try to write even a "gallop draft" or Pratchettian 0th draft of actual mechanics.

So I'm going to give my brain a break by threading about the ideas more.
Two things I mentioned in that thread, about things a Paladin can mostly *just do*, the idea of a Paladin's vow having a supernatural ring of truth that is *just believed* here, and sensing the presence of deceit, are both part of two important aspects.
