Is it #Caturday already? Here's Pepper at the shelter, telling me she wanted to be my kitten.

It's #FortressFriday In Relicbreach, we conquered the elves, and breached many obsidian vaults in the caverns. Nothing special was discovered. Then we attacked a different goblin civilization. The rhythm of life became raid-raid-raid-defend from siege-raid-raid. Very monotonous. #dwarffortress

It's #FortressFriday The Sensitive Waxes are an elven civilization. They brought us exotic animals and fruits for trade for more than 30 years, but after we conquered the goblins of the Evil of Gifting, they decided to go to war with us, but didn't bother to tell us first. #dwarffortress

It's #FortressFriday We created four militia squads and they took turns drilling into the pits of the Evil of Gifting, a local goblin civilization. One pair of squads would attack two sites, then when they returned the other pair of squads would raid the same two sites. #dwarffortress

Welcome to #FortressFriday Not much happened this week! We finished our obsidian towers, and then started to say hello to our neighbors. Our neighbors considerately returned the greeting, and were subsequently baptized into the Holy Church of Armok. #dwarffortress
A long, underground switchback passageway, with green glass screw pumps at the bottom and fortifications all the way up. The passageway is dotted with a few specks of yet-to-dry magma, and iron goblinite.

It's #FortressFriday After giving up (temporarily!) on the caverns, we decided to build an above-ground tower complex. Why? Why ask why. We're building it out of obsidian, of course, and therefore needed large quantities of obsidian. #dwarffortress

It's #fortressfriday Poor Vabok was a young woodcutter in the fortress of Relicbreach. While chipping mushrooms in the second cavern layer, to provide materials to wall it off, Vabok was crushed and killed by a falling mushroom. Our third loss. #dwarffortress

To save the US (and the world) we need to delete companies' fiduciary responsibility toward their shareholders. Make them instead responsible to customers, or the Earth's environment, or anything except the blind and mindless pursuit of money for money's sake.

Imma go ahead and take a stand: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion are not dirty words. And they shouldn't be limited to gender, sexual and racial minorities. We should be inclusive of everyone, including the neurodiverse and mentally diverse, as we are also part of "everyone."

Why are we calling the guy who shot the UHC CEO an "assassin?" We don't call other muderers of citizens by that term. Is it because oligarchs are a special part of the ruling class and not ordinary citizens?

REALLY IMPORTANT UPDATE PLEASE SHARE #ASafeChoice physicians WILL prescribe medication abortion via telehealth FOR WOMEN WHO ANTICIPATE NEEDING THIS MEDICATION. REPEAT: You do NOT need to be currently pregnant to get this prescription. In an era of potentially draconian abortion bans, take note!

It's #fortressfriday After spending a couple of years building a trap corridor for the forgotten beasts in the first cavern layer, we entered the cavern properly. Only to have the beasts refuse to enter the corridor. Our military was forced to engage. #dwarffortress

FYI: there's no "war on Christmas" and literally nobody cares if you say Merry Christmas or any other holiday wish. This "war" is an invented one, designed to make conservatives feel the persecution they so desperately crave.
A screenshot from Nextdoor saying MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone. Is it still okay to say this. Thoughts!?

When I'm on my deathbed and reminiscing about my life, "creating shareholder value" won't be on the list. So I'm not doing it. If I can't reflect happily on my actions in the future, why do them now?

This is my first foray into bronchitis since COVID; prior to 2020, I got it at least once a year. Thanks, coworkers, for not masking when you had the creeping crud! But bronchitis won't stop me from streaming today, because that's better than shopping on Black Friday. #fortressfriday #dwarffortress

It's Fortress Friday. Relicbreach, with our kiddos reaching the age of maturity and grabbing picks, finally built the defense it deserves: the magma tunnel. Enemies enter, find a long switchback, are locked in, and are given a toasty welcome.

Hot take: worshiping a deity is the same as propitiating the deity. You worship (i.e.) the sun because not doing so leads to bad outcomes (maybe the sun doesn't come up tomorrow, or it scorches your crops, or whatever). It's all about propitiation, avoiding the bad outcomes. Nothing more.

It's Fortress Friday. The fortress of Relicbreach was founded by seven hardy souls, three married couples and one singleton, all good friends. In the past 10 years they were fruitful and multiplied, and the fortress is now almost 50 strong, mostly children. #dwarffortress #fortressfriday
