“Tell me, O revered saint, what utterances have you heard from the lips of Allah?” “Only the last will be of interest to you, Highness. Allah has just whispered in my ear.” “What does He say?” “He just told me to watch what I say so that I may remain in the Paradise He has found for me.”

The Shah of Iran heard that Nasrudin, a saint, was traveling through the land. He sent his scouts to locate the blessed one and bring him to live in splendor at Court. After several months, the Shah visited Nasrudin’s luxurious apartments in the palace.

“How extraordinary it is,” mused Nasrudin, “that my circumstances have not seemed to change, but yours are dramatically altered in the space of a few minutes.”

At that moment the merchant’s musings were interrupted by the arrival of a band of robbers, who yanked him from the saddle, kicked and beat him to the ground and rode off with his cargo and mount.

And yet, we can ride together through this place, I on an Arab stallion, you scrabbling in the sand on a silly little donkey...”

Look at my silk coat with handcrafted buttons and gold thread, and the patched cloak that hangs from your bony shoulders. Here we two are: you with a few measly possessions in your moth-eaten saddlebags, I with spices that will make princes and kings weep with pleasure.

“Is it not so that God rewards riches with riches?” said the merchant to the Mulla. “Look at my ravishing riding boots made with the best leather money can buy, and your holed and tattered sandals. Look at my jeweled turban, and the rags you wear wrapped around your head.

I started out pretty AI neutral, aside from the environmental concerns, but I'm, being pushed into hating it more and more because it keeps making things I care about actively worse, and the results keep speaking for themselves in a really bad shitty way.

it's my first gig playing bass ever, and honestly the amount of confidence it's given me in my bass playing skills is really nice, I've never felt this into playing bass in a good while

I should've gotten the mushi clear by now tbh, but pesky real life has been getting in the way, I've got a really nice festival gig coming up and it's my band's first one so there's been a lot of pressure as it's imo a few of the member's first 'serious' gig

the other day when I streamed mushihimesama I had a really helpful chatter advise on cutbacks and I'm watching my normal eschatos clear I'm realizing how much easier some of those bullet patterns would've been if I knew then what I learned playing mushi lmao
