Took another 20 minutes for me to stop scrolling tumblr and grab the headache medicine out of the cabinet right behind me.

Hope it’s not that kind of day. I have Things to do

Fuck! I came to the kitchen an hour ago to make a cup of tea and take headache medicine

I drank half a cup of tea (now it’s bitter and over steeped) and Still. Haven’t. Taken. Headache. Medicine.

I feel like getting newborn Ciri from Pavetta would give AWAU Geralt a different perspective on his own mother giving him up.

Like, he doesn’t know what was going on with Visenna at the time or why she abandoned him, but clearly she had a reason to do it that she found sufficiently compelling.

And whatever her logic, he has a great life with friends and family and beloveds, so he can give himself that closure without her.

In AWAU, did Geralt ever get to meet Visenna? I know in the books, he only meets his mom because she’s healing people near Sodden where he got injured coincidentally around the time that the North was fighting off Nilfgaard, but if Nilfgaard didn't invade when Ciri was like 8, did Geralt ever get the closure of being able to tell the woman who abandoned him that his family was at Kaer Morhen? Did he ever get to look at her and realize that to him, she was pretty much a druidess like any other, and didn't feel important to him like he thought she might?

In the AWAU, Geralt has not at this point met Visenna. I suppose that could change during the Progress, if it seems appropriate to the story, but I don't currently have a bunny.

the problem i have with the whole "humans and nature as opposed and mutually exclusive forces" style of environmentalism is that it discourages people from a sustainable, mutualistic relationship with the ecosystems around them, because getting resources from an ecosystem is Bad. Therefore it requires you to think that parts of Earth that provide resources are not ecosystems.

this is where you get unbelievably stupid crap like the "half earth" project that proposes "protecting" half of Earth's land mass as nature preserves, never mind how we choose what half or what happens to the other half.

this type of environmentalism literally encourages people to think of their own presence as excluding or cancelling out "Nature."

And so people think of their lawns as Not Ecosystems, as Not Nature, so they cannot think "How do i live in right relationship with my ecosystem, as its caretaker?" This is death to ecological thinking.

The lawn was consciously created by intention and design, with heavy machinery that was manufactured, sold, and operated, it is not spontaneously created by fumes that the human body gives off.

You act upon the land, now time to learn what you are doing, and who you are doing it to.

I know what you look like, but I’m imagining you with turn-of-the-century-Justin Timberlake hair and I gotta say Nah.

If you want to go lighter, Rick Moranis brown is your sweet spot.

Do you think I'd look good blond? Not gonna post a pic. If you don't know what I look like, imagine what you think I look like based on my cyber aura (can't be a guy who's already blond) and now imagine that guy blond and let me know if he looks good.

My coworker has been talking up the place his wife works for ages and someone finally said “We should all go eat there together”

Which you *would think* was what coworker had been going for, but he immediately said that if [our small group] showed up all at once, it would take [unreasonably long time] to get food.

Then he got more specific and talked up their catering, so I guess maybe he thinks it’s good food with slow service, but it really didn’t make me want to eat there.

As a disabled person who's loved LEVERAGE and LEVERAGE REDEMPTION since the beginning - for the characters but also the whole ethos of performing acts that help people against crap systems, it's wonderful to be reminded that it springs from reality.
