🌟 Rock Readings (it's free!) 🌟

Alright fuck it. We're doing rock readings.

Send me an ask or a direct message with the kinds of questions you'd ask a tarot reader and on Saturday (PST), I'll throw some rocks around and answer them.

Personal questions are great. Silly questions are great. Anonymous is a-okay. (Also feel free to ask me questions about rock readings if you want, lol.)

My one request is please no questions about world or national events (or how events would affect you, etc.) My (lack of) accuracy doesn't justify it and my heart can't take it. Thanks!!

Feel free to reblog if you want to spread the word!

Also my tag will be "rock readings" if you want to mute it!

I like a lot of the rookie quarterbacks this year. Unfortunately one of them is Drake Maye. 😔Sorry about your bad team, buddy.

But yeah, good QB year all around. Bo's got a good future.

I'm happy for Bo Nix, he seems nice

ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD

GETTING FROM THERE TO HERE

okay so I'm just now FINALLY watching the ONLY trek I've never seen a single episode of and don't know many characters from -- Enterprise. Here is an exhaustive list of things I knew about Enterprise before starting it: - Captain Archer is a guy - T'Pol is a Vulcan - It's post Star Fleet but pre Federation - 9/11 That's it. So now that I'm a couple episodes in, here are some off the cuff observations of the only Star Trek I don't already know: Love the lo-fi tech stuff! When some basic, classic Trek tech doesn't work right. The way the med bay feels like a abattoir. The ship doesn't even have shields. Three tries at firing a photon torpedo and all three failed. Brilliant. Giving Archer that beagle was the best call ever, because he's kind of a dick but then he picks up that tiny dog and I am just filled with patience for him. No one who loves a dog that tiny can actually be a POS. I turned to my wife at the start of episode 4 to shake my head and sigh that I kinda hated Trip Tucker, only for him to spend the entire episode trembling and sweating and shouting and tripping balls. Then spend the first half of the episode after THAT... trembling and sweating and crying and tripping balls, before coming down and immediately getting pregnant. So okay, Trip Tucker, you know what? You can stay if this is what they're write for you. T'Pol is a Vulcan! I haven't much to say about her but I do have stuff to say about the Vulcans. Mostly that I imagined this show would be about how the humans need to grow to catch up to the Vulcans, and instead it's more about how they need each other to challenge their ideas and grow. I like that. There's a certain irony inherent to a prequel imo and here a lot of the good stuff comes from knowing that these judgey space guys who think each other are weird and gross end up becoming BFFs who found the ultimate BFF club. My wife says that this doctor is a Tuvix of Neelix and the Doctor. She was correct and also I love her for talking VOY to me.

I really like Hoshi so far, and I've gotten some really interesting conversations/thoughts about the role of the comms officer on the bridge of a starship and how interesting the surrounding history is. Hoshi is one of the most crucial members of the ENT crew, but in 200 years, her job will be so automated by the Universal Translator that fuckin Worf will do most of it. Not entirely -- those duties are actually spread between Captains, counselors, ops, and security, but it's definitely different! It's interesting seeing Hoshi build the UT. Does she know it'll eventually replace linguistics? How would she feel about that? Or how would Uhura feel about it, for that matter?? That generic british white guy who is the security chief sure is a security chief, isn't he?? Got me thinking about the inherent conservatism of the security chief, how the security chief tends to be the least 'evolved' person on a starship capable of seeing the least nuance. Maybe that type of person is cool if they're tempered and not in charge? Maybe a tiny little dose of fascism is good because order can be good??? God I fear a Captain who came up through security tho! Also, they tend to be some of my faves lol... Odo, La'an, Tuvok... sigh. They're always there stubbornly advising we shoot it and always learning you don't always have to shoot it. I have definitely noticed these guys seem a lot more flawed than the VOY or TNG crew -- more than DS9 too, I guess. Like, less likeable? But I think it's on purpose. T'Pol and Archer and Trip are all kind of awful to each other. Hoshi is scared shitless. British White Guy seems like a real dick. I think it works for me because I honestly just like unlikeable characters lol, but I hope it's in service of GROWTH. It excites me to imagine them coming to see how they're wrong. It excites me to imagine these NASA ass motherfuckers becoming the Federation. I hope I get to see it, and the coming 9/11 doesn't completely derail these arcs and the show doesn't become 24.

Is this worth committing to paper? Maybe. I wrote it anyway!

this is one of the most chilling scenes in jurassic park, wherein, rather than showing us the brutality on screen, the movie uses sound effects to imply the gruesome violence as the cow beats the shit out of a bunch of velociraptors

This one against the 49ers is a pretty good showing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VZTB-KIGNaU

To be fair, they have like a couple of good players, and absolutely no roster depth at all. They got an extremely good QB draft pick in Kyler Murray, but with not much for him to work with he has struggled his first couple of years. So the general course of a Cardinals game is they go on hard offense immediately and score as many points as they can, and they often lose in the second half when they're out of steam and the defense can't hold up.

But THIS YEAR the tactic started working for them. So many teams are just banged up, so many teams are on the back foot, and they've been playing from the back foot for years, they're used to it, so they are eeking out wins they wouldn't get in other years, and if they can just win a few more games they're going to turn this into a divisional win. And they don't have a particularly rough schedule from here either.

to finally answer the question i KNOW you've been dying to get an answer for

S-Tier (MY teams):

Kansas City Chiefs (I'm from Missouri, Patrick is the Greatest to ever play the game, die mad about it folks)

Detroit Lions (JARED GOFF 💗 AMON RA 💗)

A-Tier (enjoy watching them, like the team):

Philadelphia Eagles

Baltimore Ravens

B-Tier (interesting teams I'll watch if no one else is on):

Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Washington Commanders, Minnesota Vikings, Miami Dolphins

C-Tier (the Apathy Tier, I don't care):

Cardinals, Falcons, Panthers, Browns, Texans, Colts, Rams, Saints, Chargers, Broncos, Jaguars, Giants, Patriots, Seahawks, Titans

D-Tier (Rivals that I RESPECT):

Buffalo Bills (have you SEEN Allen run???)

San Fran 49ers (massive respect for Brock Purdy, fuck his organization)

Tampa Bay Buccaneers (great team, infuriatingly good)

Bengals (January 29, 2023, a day that will live in infamy)

Fuck You-Tier (Open Hatred Tier, Fuck These Teams):

Las Vegas Raiders (they think they're our nemesis, it is ENTIRELY one-sided and they're actually assholes)

New York Jets (CRYPTOFASCIST MCGEE, RETIRE BITCH)

Dallas Cowboys (JUST SHUT UP. SHUP UP.)

That Allen Big Man Football move last night was some of the most Sports things I have seen.

I am rooting for the Cardinals to take their division even if they don't get anywhere else just because I think it would be a fun and silly thing to happen. Every other team they're up against was expected to do better, and they're out here fighting for their lives, and it's working.

It's gonna be a Chiefs v Lions Superbowl imo. (I say that now, and some bullshit is gonna happen in the playoffs lmao.)
