anyway this might not affect books too bad. it might not be real. but once again i have to wonder if sending the email i was going to send this week is going to shutter my entire business now!

if our country was actually willing to be a leader environmentally and in worker protections we could set and enforce a standard that would make the whole world a better place to live in record time!! but no we are interested in ????? i guess just xenophobia ??

wouldn't it be amazing if america leveraged this kind of pressure to hold companies to higher standards at home and abroad? wouldnt it be neat if we used our wealth and vast population of people who Want Things to improve the standards of workers everywhere? probably not let's ruin everything

it's so funny (derogatory) that europe seems scared to even actually do the renewable paper regulation they've already passed which is good and trump is just like hmmm what if we made life worse in every way for no reason

A big update to the @friends-table.bsky.social Perpetua soundtrack on Bandcamp, with combat themes for indoor scuffles and a boss fight with a sniper added. The big ticket item, though, is Beachminton, a new minigame theme! notquitereal.bandcamp.com/track/beachm...

i read a lot of Water 7 before bed so maybe this was me reacting with deep emotion to Iron Body

usually when i have stress half-dreams keeping me up, they're about real things. last night i was repeatedly awoken by worry about the dozen "level 99" (???) untouchable god-level monsters who i was personally tasked to defeat

A speedy standard deck with sephiroth + amy would be pretty nasty, I think. They play off of each other really well.

Caleb Zane Huett @calebzane.bsky.social · 1d

I won with the Terra deck in two-headed before this, though! With sol ring + another artifact I had 4 mana available turn 1 lol. I've never won with the cloud one, it's just not fast enough! and too variable with what equipment you get. If you don't get the sledge early for trample there's no chance

yesterday while playing magic i had Cloud, Amy Rose, and Sephiroth all on the board. Amy had genova cells added to her. everybody was a Sephiroth clone. i lost

i put off writing the full two-act play i was supposed to write all semester until less than 48 hours before the due date. i got a 100 and then that play got a grant and with redrafts a production and professional reading. that reading got me my book career.

honestly the ballsiest thing I’ve ever done was to turn in a 25 page Milton paper I had started & finished the night before it was due, along with my 2 friends who had done the same, AND submitted our equal-length group chat of running Milton shitposting we’d been doing while writing. we all got As

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

this worked but i didn't write fast enough for exercise. still, we are moving in the right direction. the stars begin to align. the perfect day is attainable

The exact match of juicy content to performance is the real magic, but you can even feel it when she's forced to say something ridiculous and video gamey. When Kreia says "This will increase your chance for a critical hit" I believe critical hits are real

Caleb Zane Huett @calebzane.bsky.social · 2d

the more of KOTOR 2 I see the more I am convinced that Kreia is 1: the best star wars character and 2: the best vocal performance I've ever heard in a video game probably

i want to play commander tonight which means i need to exercise before that so i don't leap out of my seat every turn which means i need to write 1000 words quickly starting now. this logic must be enough to get me through it
