So I’ve been toying with this idea for a while and now I’ve finally gone ahead and made Taliesin Jaffe (pronounced Ta-LIE-a-sin Ja-fey) into a warlock patron. While the backstory elements that mention The Storyteller are specific to Exandria, that can be switched out for simply making him a very old archfey with no consequence. Have fun with him and using him as your patron.

My favorite thing is that Europe is spooky because it’s old and America is spooky because it’s big

“The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way.” –Earle Hitchner

A fave of mine was always the american tales where people freaked out because ‘someone died in this house’ and all the europeans would go ‘…Yes? That would be pretty much every house over 40 years old.’

‘…My school is older than your entire town.’

‘Sorry, you think *how far* is okay to travel for a shopping trip?’

*American looks up at the beams in a country pub* ‘Uh, this place has woodworm, isn’t that a bit unsafe?’ ‘Eh, the woodworm’s 400 years old, it’s holding those beams together.’

A few years ago when I was in college I did a summer program at Cambridge aimed specifically at Americans and Canadians, and my year it was all Americans and one Australian. We ended the program with a week in Wessex, and on the last day as we all piled onto the bus in Salisbury (or Bath? I can’t remember), the professors went to the front to warn us that we wouldn’t be making any stops unless absolutely necessary. We’re headed to Heathrow to drop off anyone flying off the same day, then back to Cambridge.

“All right, it’s going to be a long bus ride, so make sure you’re prepared for that.”

We all brace ourselves. A long bus ride? How long? We’re Americans; a long bus ride for us is a minimum of six hours with the double digits perfectly plausible. We can handle a twelve hour bus ride as long as we get a bathroom break.

The answer. “Two hours.”

Oh.

English people trying to travel around Australia and wildly underestimating distance are my favourite thing

a tour guide in France told my school group that a particular cathedral wouldn’t interest us much because “it’s not very old; only from the early 1600s”

to which we had to respond that it was still older than the oldest surviving European-style buildings in our country

China is both old and big. I had some Chinese colleagues over; we were discussing whether they wanted to see the Vasa ship (hugely expensive war ship which sank on it’s maiden voyage after 12 min). They asked if it was old, I said “not THAT old” (bearing in mind they were Chinese) “it’s from the 1500s.” To my surprise they still looked impressed, nodding enthusiatically. Then I realised I’d forgotten something: “…I mean it’s from the 1500s AFTER the birth of Christ” and they went “oh, AFTER…”.

My dad’s favorite quote from various tours in Italy was “Pay no attention to the tower – it was a [scornful tone] tenth century addition.”

My last boss was Chinese, and she said when her parents came to visit her from Beijing they pronounced Chicago “A very nice village.”

T-Shirts Being Sold

Hey guys, so I’ve been informed by someone who attended Jack’s Dallas show that there was someone in the crowd outside the Venue who was selling T-shirts with fanart on them. Apparently the person selling them got them from a friend who screen prints clothing, and who simply finds art they like online and makes clothing out of them. My drawing was in the seller’s box of t-shirts.

This possibly means that other artists from Jack’s community could be having their art printed on t-shirts and being sold outside his shows. The person who informed me of this also said that the t-shirt seller was handing out cards containing their etsy shop name/link.

Please keep a lookout for this person, or people selling ‘fanart’ t-shirts; if you can, take one of the cards if they’re handing them out and keep them. If I can find their etsy shop, I can report them; maybe then they’ll stop making clothing with stolen art.

imagine thinking nail polish is a gendered thing. unnecessary shiny adornment has no gender, if anything it’s more crow than human

Do you love Pride?

Do you love your sexuality and want to show off without being too loud about it?

Do you love Armor Inspired Jewelry???

Then boy howdy do I have the shop for you.

Tattooed and Chained on Etsy has dozens of pieces of chain mail and scale mail jewelry for pride, and I need you to go support the hell out of them.

Ace, Pan, Bi, Genderfluid, Trans, Non-Binary, Genderqueer, and plenty of rainbows if you want the broader umbrella. And multiple options across all of them. And a few solo pieces in other sexualities! AND they can do custom pieces! I am delighted and am probably going to need so many of them.

So go! Look! Shop!

Treat yo’self! It’s Pride!

(thank you have a nice day)

when I was 11, my (black) neighbor witnessed my house being broken into. she called the police to report the crime. I came home from school and the robber was still inside. I personally watched as a man I didnt know walked out of my home with our stuff.

the police didnt show up for 3 days.

when they did, they told us there was nothing the could do because we “staged the house”. they claimed we hid our tv’s and valuables to make it look like more was actually stolen. they never asked for a description, never visited the neighbor who saw the break-in, anf as they left, they told us that stolen property is almost never recovered and we should “buy more and get on with [our] lives”.

…

when I was 23, I was dog-sitting for a (white) friend. her neighbor called the police and said there was a strange black man in her yard.

the police showed up in 5 minutes.

6 units, 12 officers, stormed the back yard as I was running around with the dog. some came through the house and I know for a fact that the front door was locked. they damaged around $5000 worth of property, took her dog to the pound, and me to jail.

my friend had to cut her trip short and drive 4 hours back to get me from jail and explain to police in person that she knew me. because “that could be anybody on the phone”. the neighbor was with her when she came. we had met several times before. she was neither embarrassed nor apologetic.

moral of the story?

too many of us have lived this. too many of us didn’t survive.

since making this post I’ve started getting targeted ads for bulletproof vests and security equipment. 🤔
