KAEPERNICK: The part that I hope people take away in this moment is what Robert Kraft and what they’re saying by denying Macklemore is they are openly colluding. They also want people to know that if you take an action that they don’t agree with, they will come for you.

Played Ilium: A Game of Heroes today, w/ new scenario of my own creation; The Burning of the Ships, from a scene in the Iliad where the Trojans storm the Greek camp, trying to burn them back into the Sea! An excellent game, despite a victory for Troy! #Iliumagameofheroes @irregularwars.bsky.social

To save my sanity (or push me over the edge, once and for all!), I've signed up to run 6(!) Pirate Borg events in September. It's my main source of fun these days, so it's time to lean in. Who doesn't like some swashbuckling every now and then? (Plus Parrots!) @limithron.bsky.social ##ttrpg

My favorite castings from adaptations of Homer. Note the conspicuous absence of Matt Damon, who seems like a super cool guy, but is no Odysseus. I'm still mulling over my feelings about the movie. A lot of Meh, some very good bits, and entirely too much WTF?

It has been criminally underreported but Kelsey Pfendler has just rowed solo across the Pacific Ocean from the US coast to Hawaii in record time. A 2,400-mile unsupported journey in 43 days, 17 hours, and 55 minutes. Notably beating the Men’s record by 9 whole days.

I've had a pretty varied 'career': care work, youth work, homeless hostel work, bar, cabinet making, learning support, amateur musician, teacher, miniature painter. I've returned to study several times. I value all of these experiences and some I occasionally revisit. Who knows what's next? 🙂

A screenshot of a Tumblr post from brightwanderer:

'I think a lot about how we as a culture have turned “forever” into the only acceptable definition of success.

Like… if you open a coffee shop and run it for a while and it makes you happy but then stuff gets too expensive and stressful and you want to do something else so you close it, it’s a “failed” business. If you write a book or two, then decide that you don’t actually want to keep doing that, you’re a “failed” writer. If you marry someone, and that marriage is good for a while, and then stops working and you get divorced, it’s a “failed” marriage.

The only acceptable “win condition” is “you keep doing that thing forever”. A friendship that lasts for a few years but then its time is done and you move on is considered less valuable or not a “real” friendship. A hobby that you do for a while and then are done with is a “phase” - or, alternatively, a “pity” that you don’t do that thing any more. A fandom is “dying” because people have had a lot of fun with it but are now moving on to other things.

I just think that something can be good, and also end, and that thing was still good. And it’s okay to be sad that it ended, too. But the idea that anything that ends is automatically less than this hypothetical eternal state of success… I don’t think that’s doing us any good at all.'
