Keywords: Railroading, Music, Anthropomorphism, Rarr. Sometimes I do a 📸. Part-time lion named Bora. Too old for this but doing it anyway. He/him, Ace.

I never put my old cat man up on Bluesky on his own. Hmm. I fix. Synas, my Circle of Stars Druid from western Anauroch. He finds himself, decades later, in Neverwinter after his cards lead him to the coast, to be hired to head to Phandalin to help investigate a cave...

Painting of a Leonin Druid, Circle of Stars path, named Synas. A white and black cat with a large black mane, stands amongst the plains, one hand on his hip and holding a massive quarterstaff topped with an antler. He stands amongst a backdrop of stars and an aurora, as his burnt orange eyes look up to the sky.

While I think I’ve done enough lion suiting for the summer, I notice that being out in public with him is the only time I ever get genuine compliments relating to anything about me.

the same people who say that mass surveillance can occasionally save a kidnapped kid and so that justifies its use, full stop, will also say that kids dying every month or so in a school shooting is just the price of liberty child lives are unassailable political talking points... until they aren't

Perhaps the biggest insult made against me while I was terminal manager downtown was when my boss indirectly asked me to “write down my process”; I was posting the best metrics. MF’er you think just anyone can do this job reading a bullet-point list? I took that as a backhanded dismissal of skill.

Concurrent with musings of previous post, I feel I need a refresh of my belongings. New computer, new desk, new desk chair, new bed, new rugs, new couch, new TV, new dinnerware, new dresser…. I even want to get Bora’s head overhauled and other parts upgraded. Lots of $$$$

I think I figured out why I don’t feel good about my current situation. I still *feel* unemployed. How’s that? I was unemployed for over a full year and had grown accustomed to sitting around the house, not doing anything because I had no money to do anything. 1/2
