Today's Pathfinder session is gonna be something... Unrelated what's worse everyone dying 1 by 1 alone or everyone dying together in a TPK? Asking for a friend.

Applying for a job at a museum in Manchester I might just have a shot at... Fingies crossed.

You know what my 'wow weird things make me emotional thinking of home' thing was today? I was thinking about that set of british coins that make the royal arms when u have them all together - collecting weird things is in my future XD

I should start getting my copyedited chapters for my book - finishing it off by November :D AND THEN its finalised :D Should have all the work done before i can move, still have to find the magic words to make parents be supportive alas.

Today is Truth and Reconciliation Day in Canada, or Orange Shirt Day. It commemorates the genocide against indigenous peoples through the residential school system and the children who died in the system. Colonialism is ongoing but only be acknowledging the harm it does can tomorrow be better.

TTRPG brain tonight cos it's going to get very spicy soon. Without giving away too much its very possible a TPK may by on the cards - but unlike a "oops we all died" this would be properly climactic and cool. Let us hope everyone gets what they want!

One day I should get back into Dwarf Fortress but it is hard and I am bad. It is really fun tho. Also I hope next stream my ISP doesn't decide times up :/

Todays random thought is what if I am able to do the move before Christmas? Do I postpone it or just have a weird distance Christmas? My partner and I don't do anything crazy for it anyway so its probably not a big deal.

I finally got some more info! Lots of stuff about working in museums back in the UK and possibly doing another Masters for it. And my friend has even offered to set up a meeting, as well as introduce me to a contact who is a lecturer and works with museums! I see the path now!

I need to socialise more. Specifically with friends. I already have at least 1 invite for when I move to go out for coffee, haha. That's more socialising than I've done in 14 years oof.

More applications submitted and I am writing the final communique to my parents regarding moving. I am still waiting on some information but me telling them might be the last of it (depending on reaction). Needless to say I'm taking the week to get all my thoughts into it.

Have applied for a position at Oxford, its very low grade so maybe we get lucky... I always feel icky applying to Oxford tho, I know it will do wonders for my career but it still feels gross. But gotta think of short term uncomfiness for long term yay.

So if with the possibility of doing museum masters instead of teaching I am pondering which sounds better. One the one hand teaching is simplest, on the other museums lets me continue my research... And I do like my research... *pondering continues*

We wait... In the mean time I found a tutor position to apply to that having taught in Canada might actually help me with. I just need to get my cover letter to say what I want.

More jobs applied more waiting for word. Imagine if I didn't have to do that how much energy I'd have for the other stuff I need to do in life.

Once I move home I am officially going to start having holidays again. I haven't had one since I was 19 (this was a long time ago XD). I will go to Warhammer World :D

This is just a pure joy post: DWARF LAND BOAT AHOY! *Thank you for sharing in this moment*

As moving back to the UK comes closer and actually more of a real thing than a pipe dream its just making me dwell a lot on what home is. There's no conclusion to this thought just introspection *sighs wistfully*

Toronto was swampy as usual - but we got Japanese food which was very delicious as usual. Still waiting on answers the anticipation is killing me XD

Gotta go do stuff in Toronto td bleh. Also have found a job posting to help edit local histories fingers crossed for me!

So chatting with friends back home - museum work might be another direction to teaching. So many options I need more info haha!

Very positive email from back home, going to take a few days for all the info to come back my way but positive first steps! It was a "Where do u see yourself in 5 years" type of deal and I can answer that for the first time since I started Uni 14 years ago...

The big post is done, emails are written and just need to be sent. Also I am doing some Daggerheart TTRPG tomorrow! So its all go in brain land. I wonder what not having to have a busy head feels like XD

In positive news everything going on forced me to do some painting which is nice. Also got everything written on the big post now I just need to make sure I didn't forget anything. Hopefully emailing a few friends and family back in the UK this weekend to get planning moving more!

The trials continue XD got another email today this was a doozy: 50% made up 50% actual easily provable lying. We've gone from stalling to just blocking. Apparently they were mad at my sibling but regardless I am pressing on assuming they won't help now. Which sucks and is rough but we persevere!

Got a response today it was more questions, so they are dutifully answered and we keep going. I want to make sure this move is done right and its not a rash/run away situation. Also trying to word everything about the move in the smallest amount of ledditing is taxing on the brain XD

Well it's now fully in the wild as I announced the big move on stream. Now I just have to type out a full explanation and see if it should be a video or not. (It probably won't be). Still bo response from family..m

So the reason parents haven't given me an answer yet on support is because they have a new dog. This doesn't really explain why they can't answer but it does feel like being stalled. Maybe soon *tm*?

It would be wrong to speculate about the political leanings of those men in black shirts.
