Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 09/10/2026That is probably a regional thing, less a generational one. I was in college for the Elizabeth Dole campaign. The president of NOW was advocating for "a woman" being more important than "our values" and that POV shapes the divide for me, as the GenX and back vs Xennial and forward. 010
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 09/10/2026See, this is the part of GenX that doesn't ring true for me, and sets me in the Xennial space. My first 12 years were extremely diverse, but I also saw racism happening in the grownups around me. I would not have considered myself in a primarily white cohort. 220
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Also, the millennials seem to not realize that when they say GenX they are often talking about the very tail end, or Xennials. There are even fewer of us in that category, and we are the most online of the group, bridging the gap between the analog and digital native generations. 160
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Anyway, go listen to River Man, it's even better than Pink Moon. 020
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Remember when VW used Pink Moon in a commercial and everyone remembered Nick Drake? 120
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 01/10/2026It builds up. When I use it regularly I can see an actual decrease in swelling around my knees. 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Think of it this way: the only time you see your face is when you are looking in the mirror or in photos. You see your nails all the time. Prioritize YOUR enjoyment. Not what others might enjoy. 170
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Omg ducks eating pees is one of my favorite things. Here is a picture of a duck! Megaera was very good and sat watching her. 150
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Try Voltaren. It's over the counter, no RX needed. I have been using it for 4 years, and it's amazing. I have arthritis in both my knees, along with several other body parts, and it's due to Voltaren I can keep dancing. 161
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Hello yes this is me in a previous life. 060
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026(PS they didn't even ask for a review, I had to look them up to find out their socials. I am praising from the sincere bottom of my own mostly dead heart!) 230
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026For a non-gamer married to a literal game obsessed guy. RPGs are intimidating, but this whole process has me confident, excited, and ready to play!!!! 121
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026So excited for this game, AND extra pleased because the purchase experience was so friendly, responsive, and easy!!! And the company has everything to do with that. So thank you to Bully Pulpit Games @bullypulpithq.bsky.social for being chill, and making gaming fun and welcoming + 120
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026combined. Then this morning, I got the shipping notification, AND the PDF/digital files for the game. Those of you who know my husband @tsothoga.bsky.social may be surprised to know that this is only the second full RPG I have ever purchased. I am not a huge gamer like he is. But! I am + 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026there were cards, too, so I bought those. I sent an email to see if they would combine shipping (but if not, tbh, it was my mistake so I just figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.) They literally messaged me back within the hour, refunded one shipping cost, and let me know the package would be + 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Bc I'm a big believer in giving props when due, I want to direct your attention to the awesome team at @bullypulpithq.bsky.social I heard about their RPG based on The Night Witches (some of my favorite WW2 history) and was immediately hooked. I bought the book, then realized that + 160
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Because my sister didn't realize, I might need to clarify: this is my cat looking adorable and sweet and completely out of character. This photo is a more accurate representation of her personality. 060
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Awwww, that's so sweet!!! Thank you!!! I wish, I could have skipped that whole thing in 1066. What a mess. 🙄 010
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I mean, I'm a *young* 1209, but once I turn 1210, I'm sure I'm gonna start feeling it. 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Or wait, even better: we put the OLD in COLDFusion. 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Pls excuse my lack of hairstyle, makeup, or quality fashion, I work from home. On the floor. 070
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Oh honey. I am so sorry. I hope that you are ok, and that Tallulah is okay too. You've worked so hard for her. Sending you love!! 1110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Everyone knows that pee is stored in the balls. 094
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The best part is we can all be Grace, and everyone gets to wear an outfit they like. 020
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026My boss at 10:24 am: "hey did you wanna have our meeting at 10 am?" Me: "oh damn I was faffing about research work friendly Halloween costumes." 130
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I don't even wear Halloween costumes, but I am pretty sure I have the best idea for a group Halloween costume this year. And I called dibs on this one: 150
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 16/09/2026They turned out pretty great, overall!! 2141
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I have a little silicone tray for the molds, and the images are not all accurate, mostly flowers. So I tried to make the backs as smooth as I could, and then drew the images with edible markers. 140
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 15/09/2026I'm making cupcakes for a friend's birthday tomorrow, and we'll be celebrating at mahjong. Look at the toppers I made! 1210
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 10/09/2026A faded t shirt, jeans, and a dusty pair of all stars. 100
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 06/09/2026$700 and 3 hours later, UTI confirmed, and someone was a VERY good patient. 190
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Of course we would have a suspicion of a UTI on a holiday weekend when our family vet is closed. 1121
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Have you tried the flocked Bobby pins? They have a velvet coating that is supposed to give a little more grip. I can't use them bc my hair is too textured, but they are popular with the dancers with fine hair. 120
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Yes, I posted this at 3:45 AM. I also am happy to announce that despite living in 4 states (and Colorado since 2001) I still have a solidly Michigan accent according to the other website thing going around. 010
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Omg I forgot about the lip gloss. I think jello is just the wrong texture for pop flavors. I have heard of using a can of Dr Pepper to make chocolate cake, and while I don't like chocolate cake, I can see how that would work. 130
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I was going to take a picture but I don't know where mine are, and I need to find them now. But here's a photo from the googles. I bought mine in a set of 2, before boycotting Target. 220
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Have you ever tried French pins (I think they're called)? I have a few of those to create French twists. I sent a pair to a dance friend living in Paris, for her extremely voluminous hair. The hair guy for one of her shows has been obsessed with them ever since. 120
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026My nose crinkled in delicate disgust when I realized that this was pudding or jello or whatever. And I say that as someone who used to love Dr Pepper gum, the kind with the squishy middle. 130
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Crossed the deserts bare, man I've breathed the mountain air, man Of travel I've had my share, man I've been everywhere 110
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 04/09/2026I love my spin pins. They work even for ballet class, and hold my hair when jumping and turning! 120
Empress of Crows @metasynchronic.bsky.social · 01/09/2026whoever wins gets to pick a sticker (often the sticker matches the tile they won with). We have had some really hilarious moments, resulting in calling our dragons after drugs, and our winds get funny noises when we discard. We are playing tonight, in fact, and I am making a pumpkin dump cake! 130
