As of this coming November, I’ll have had this blog for five whole years. A pretty damn long time considering that that’s a quarter of my life. I’ve had an (uncomfortably) wide variety of interests over this time, and went through a lot of self discovery. And now here I am! Living in an apartment with friends and studying in university. Shits cool sometimes. 

It’s been a long ride, and its time I get a fresh start. Sort of. Pretty soon, this blog will be an archive, a testament to all we’ve been through, as will Tosh’s aesthetic blog (jedi-code). 

Both of us will still be at the same urls, wei-ning and jedi-code respectively, but you’ll have to refollow. And anyone is welcome to do so! The biggest difference is that we’re making jedi-code the main blog, so when I follow back, it’ll be from there. 

That’s all for now!

A Jew is a Jew is a Jew. This is why we can’t piss and moan amongst ourselves about ‘valid’ conversions and other such nonsense. Gatekeeping in the Jewish community is a shitshow.

It turns out his remarks were badly mistranslated and taken out of context:

I can’t link to the original post because I’m on mobile, sorry.

[wei-ningmoved]

Upon reading this and the original article, it seems to like he was trying to say with his comment that it doesn’t MATTER if it was a synagogue or not. He won’t answer not because he feels one way another, but because he refuses to be pressed and to possibly incite further divide in the community about something that does not need to be and should not be discussed.

That’s a bathtub… This is also definitely not legal and isjjejwks

So glad there are people who don’t give a shit if something’s legal or not. Imagine the suffocating effect and collapse of innovation in society if legality was all anyone cared about.

Bohemian Rhapsody. We Will Rock You. Somebody To Love. All hit singles, and all the direct product of a band that was formed when an astrophysicist and a dentistry major found a new friend in an art college, who then went on to recruit a fourth member from the electronics school. Based on this alliance I propose the rift in society between Arts and STEM students was fabricated to keep us separated so as to dilute our true power - and fabricated by who, you may ask? The business major, the only member of society who reaps no reward from art and science and thus must weaken us so as to stay ahead. In this essay I will

wheres the essay op

[orcishbard]

on the topic of rewriting racist d&d narratives

it takes work, yes!

it’s worth it. for both you and your players, but especially for new players who can see the game in different ways than you

examples I’ve written that you should feel free to use:

-orcs: rather than give in to the weird “tribal savages who fight all the time,” consider connecting orcs and their inate strength/constitution to the earth. in my most recent campaign setting, orcs are descended from a human champion who bested an earth primordial; the primordial, impressed with their strength, blessed them and their descendents with powerful tusks and a greater constitution.

-drow: instead of the entire drow narrative being “they’re dark skinned and bad because they betrayed the fair skinned elves and their gods,” consider playing up their connection to spiders. perhaps they worshiped a spider God who gave them the ability to blend into their darkened surroundings. if you’re married to their current aesthetic appearance, take care to present multiple drow societies that have different outlooks; not a homogenous race of black skinned slavers. consider pigmentless drow, who’ve lost all skin color because they never see the light of day. drow who use echolocation? distancing your drow from the bad connotations carried by the current zeitgeist is a useful endeavor

-include elves of color in your game

-drop the ‘tribal’ aesthetic and the connotations that goblins and other monstrous races have. it’s lazy (note, tribes and other similar social structures are still perfectly valid social structures; but if the only example of them in your game world is the violent, monstrous people who seek to destory “civilized communities” that sends a bad message about real life tribes and their validity

-focus less on race and more on societies; a society can be evil or good, but a race cannot

-consider that fantasy races have no reason to conform to any gendered structures (especially our current human binary). dwarvish societies who express their varied and fluid genders through beard braiding. elvish societies who reproduce asexually. don’t limit yourself to what you can relate to from a 21st century human perspective

it takes a bit of elbow grease to decolonize your d&d, and the process is never done, but in my own experience, it’s only ever lead to more innovative and engaging experiences!

hoenn’s similarities with florida are frighting because 

florida has a tropical climate and many port cities just like hoenn

florida is home to rick scott, who is evil. hoenn has evil teams also

florida is governed by large creatures who are color coded red, blue and green (mickey mouse, shamu and shrek) who are in constant war with each other over territory and power in the region 

florida has orbs that hold great significance (oranges)

in college there are only two moods:

1. i can do this! after outlining everything i need to do, it doesn’t seem so bad. in fact it’s very methodical and easy to follow and i can do it.

2. oh my god its happening. its the end for me. i might as well be dead. everything is due now. i was put on this earth to suffer. i have two essays due in 45 seconds and all ive eaten today is half a goldfish cracker. i can only feel pain

also these moods go back and forth every hour

Hey so fun fact, my dad is good friends the woman who currently has this job and she told him that Trump’s admin is trying to force her out. They started advertising the job before they actually told her they were transferring her so she’d have to reapply.

Her name is Catherine (Cassie) Conley, and she’s a badass MIT grad that works as NASA’s planetary protection officer, which sounds super cool (though she says not as cool as the galactic administrator). The job is basically the only one in xenobiology (space life) and it’s her life’s work. She’s been doing this job for over 10 years and now Trump wants her out.

I’m beyond pissed that this keeps going around. I know it sounds like a joke job, but it’s a legitimate career that’s being taken away from literally one of the most intelligent women in the country by this asscactus of a presidency.

If ya’ll could signal boost this that’d be much appreciated. They need to know that this kind of bullshit isn’t acceptable

[gigi-tastic]

I was actually reading about this job in an NPR article and it sounds REALLY important. the job basically means you make sure we don’t contaminate any planets and anything we bring back like rocks or soil, etc doesn’t do the same here.
