Okay, this is interesting

Sometimes I impress myself. I made for the very 1st time: black bean burgers! Very hearty, very filling, very healthy and a very fart filled afternoon. Sometimes you just have to blow it out your ass 💨. All in all, I needed less gluten free bread crumbs and it needed more salt and I should’ve have made the patties smaller in size. I smoked them at 375F. for approx.12-15 minutes on parchment paper, with a decoration of Traegers Veggie Rub. I will make these again and even substitute the black beans for chickpeas. #veggieburgers #blackbeanburgers #organic #onions #garlic #peppers #salt #glutenfree #breadcrumbs #eggs #vegetarian #vegan #veggie #healthy #traeger #traegergrills #burgers #hamburgers #notbad #tryit #proudmoment #makeithappen #tasty #grill #bbq #barbecue #beans (at Wasaga Beach, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCkEvpahEH6/?igshid=cmoaaewluedy

Ok so i have a question about Spotify,, if anyone else has noticed this problem pls let me know

I’m admittedly obsessive about music so I noticed right away when there was “new” Kajagoogoo singles…. That were blatantly NOT kajagoogoo. Nobody ever said anything, band clearly didn’t reform.. one day there were just new singles. All (5? I think?) songs were instrumental and vague, but very clearly not even the same style or vibe. It was removed within a month each time, but this has happened at least 3 times now.

My question is… has this been happening a lot? Or is it just someone fucking around with Kajagoogoo specifically?? And if so.. wtf? Lol

"Bursting the Bubble Between Good & Bad"

When we come into a new situation, in most cases we have some preconceptions and expectations about it. We imagine what the new experience will be, maybe even rehearse what we’ll say and project what someone else might say in return. Whether it’s going to work or meeting a Zen Master, we have expectations, some more grandiose than others.

When we encounter reality, the bubble of expectations is burst. We’re left standing on the ledge, maybe a tiger below and a killer behind, or something more benign than that, but still on the precipice of a new experience. It’s so new an experience that never in the history of the universe has this experience ever been experienced. 

With a mirror, white comes, white is reflected. Red comes, red is reflected. We can embrace this, rejecting nothing, or struggle against it because  reality doesn’t match the story we’ve invented, and we want that story to be true. Reality includes the suffering of others, which our story may not have recognized. Our own suffering exists, but maybe not in our story, and it’s something we try to hide from the mirror.

But reality has this nasty habit of coming out on top when pitted against a story, and this is something to reflect upon. We can observe our creation of a story, and not make good and bad out of having created it. We can embrace reality, reject noting, reflect everything, and do this not only for ourselves, but for the benefit of all beings. The direct experience of reality and helping others is our practice.

Open Positions {Jess & Wendy}

In Which Jess helps Wendy outsmart Nimble.

@notbad-justsungthatway

Read It From The Start:

Challenge 1. Challenge 2. Clever Whispers (Hatter & Wendy) Challenge 3.

WENDY

Wendy had lost.

She had tried her best, she had even played dirty and she still lost.

Turning to look around the Court she cursed at herself again. She would have to quit. There was no way around that fact. She would be bound by the deal of the Fae.

SARINA 

Sarina though was bound by no such deal and ducked into Jess' office first.

"Hey we have a problem. I think Wendy got herself into a bad situation. "

JESSICA

Jessica was inside the office she still thought of as Roscoe’s looking through some paperwork. It had been a relatively slow night, so after her performance she had decided to see if she could finish getting some acts lined up for the next few months. 

But as Sarina burst into the office, Jessica looked up with a start, immediately standing up and starting to move towards the door. “What happened?”

SARINA 

Sarina shrugged though she glanced back out to check on Wendy and see if she was making her way in.

She wasn't yet. So they were good.

"You know that creepy guy that comes in once in awhile. Looks super polished but it just makes every hair on your neck stand up?" Sarina didn't wait for Jess to respond they were on a timelimit.

"I think they made some sort of deal. I couldn't hear what it was but he cheated so I cheated for her but she lost and it doesn't look good."

JESSICA

Jessica knew exactly who Sarina was talking about, both of them knowing each other and knowing the clientele as well as they did. Nathaniel. He hadn’t ever been overtly threatening, but if he was messing with her staff, he wasn’t welcome. That was the first rule of the Court. 

She’d wait to hear what Wendy said and then she’d have a talk with Des. While typically she waited for one of the staff to say something as she wanted to give them control over that, if even Sarina was concerned it had gone too far. 

“Thank you for doing that. We’ll have to find out what this deal is, but either way, we’ll figure this out. No one plays with the Court and wins. Do you want to stay for this, or do you want to make sure Nathaniel isn’t anywhere on the premises any longer? Feel free to get creative with how you ensure that.” 

SARINA 

Sarina grinned with the permission, if there was one good thing about Jess taking a bigger role, Sarina didn't care to keep her Magick low key.

Holding up her hand it glowed bright green. "Don't worry I can be really creative."

WENDY

Wendy passed Sarina on her way out raising an eyebrow at the grin of the other girl before she knocked on Jess' door and waiting to be let in.

"Do you have a moment I need to talk to you about something."

JESSICA

Jessica probably shouldn’t enjoy the sight of Sarina showing off her magic as much as she did. Then again, with Nathaniel’s own open displays of magic, really all that did was even the playing field and keep her safer. That mattered much more to her. 

But with the warning in mind, she waited for the knock she knew would come, opening the door for Wendy to come in. 

“Of course. Please, come in and let me know what’s on your mind.” 

WENDY

Wendy slipped in moving the sit across from Jess. She wasn't too sure how much she should say. How much she wanted to say. 

She could loophole the fact Nimble hadn't given her a date but she still had to quit.

Sighing Wendy looked up at Jess, defeat clear as her shoulders slumped. "I have to quit."

JESSICA

If Jessica hadn’t been prepped by Sarina that something was wrong, that statement probably would have shocked her more. Wendy wasn’t one of the more outgoing members of the Court, but she’d slid into the group and become a steady rock for them all. Jessica had watched as she’d slowly relaxed around them,smiling and performing more and finding a place for herself. Leaving was shocking. 

But the body language was already telling her that more was going on. She ‘had’ to quit. Not that she wanted to or that something had happened. 

So Jessica crossed her hands and kept her voice steady as she sat beside the desk. “I see. I’m sorry to hear that as you’re an excellent bartender and an exceptional performer. Did something happen that prompted this?”

WENDY

Wendy sighed, she didn't want to get Jess involved. She didn't want to get anyone in trouble. Especially not as everyone struggled to help her.

"I got myself into a situation and unfortunately the only course of action is to quit." Wendy stated though each of her words were slow to come out as if she was thinking of each before she could say it.

JESSICA

For a moment, Jessica was silent as she turned the words over in her mind. Sarina’s mention of a deal, the continued use of ‘situation’, and the wording. Wendy had to quit. 

But she had made no such deal. If there was one thing living in Swynlake had taught her, it was that words were important. She was careful with her own, until she made the choice to be deliberately careless. 

At the end of the day, the Court stood by its own, and she wouldn’t let Wendy stand alone. 

“Very well. I understand that you are quitting your current role to support yourself.” She paused for a moment before tilting her head. “Incidentally, I just had an opening for a regular performer and a bartender. Winter is a slow time, so it is difficult to get new employees. Would you be interested in this position?”

WENDY

Wendy stared at Jess for a couple moments. Sure in the last little while she had watched Jess become more deliberate with her words. But she hadn't realized just how deliberate Jess had become.

The laugh just bubbled out of her after that fact settled in Wendy's system. Pressing her hand against her mouth she nodded, not having words for a moment to even say yes.

Wendy had been trying to figure out loopholes with every step as she walked into Jess' office she hadn't expected Jess to be the other to offer the perfect loophole.

Wendy had quit.

Nimble never said she couldn't be rehired.

Mortals were so much more resilient then Nimble gave them credit for and a fact Wendy would be ever thankful for.

The stress of leaving quickly took the form of tears that she tried to hold back.

"That would be lovely." And even though a Fae or a Human who grew up in Elfhame should never say it.

"Thank you."

JESSICA

As soon as Jessica saw the hint of tears, she was out of her chair and around the desk so she could wrap an arm around Wendy. As strong as the woman often tried to be, she was clearly caught up in something much bigger than Jess knew. The least she could do was give her a place to lean for a little while. 

“Welcome to the Court of Miracles. If you need anything - anything at all - just ask. I don’t need to know why. But whatever is going on, we’re here for you.” 

For all the care of her moment before, this was one of those times where a promise like that to the wrong person would be reckless. But that was the thing about Jessica - when she was loyal, there weren’t limits. Wendy was one of her people. For her, it was that simple. She knew what she was saying. 

“I should give you fair warning that I told Sarina she was allowed to get creative with ensuring a recent customer Nathaniel was not anywhere on the premises. I’ve received several reports of him making staff and customers uncomfortable, so I’ll be speaking to Des about him as well.”

WENDY

Wendy didn’t mind leaning on Jess, It wasn’t often the girl was vulnerable infront of others but it felt right. Just for that moment and then Nimble’s name came up.

“You can not.” Wendy was quick to pull away her eyes spinning to Jess’. “He is not someone to treat lightly, he is more powerful than Sarina and no offense to her much smarter it is better that everyone stays clear of him. Especially Des.” Especially any mortal. At least a Magick might be able to throw him for a loop.

JESSICA

Jessica paused. She wasn’t sure this was an area she wanted to bend on. After all, as a business they could choose who to serve and she felt very strongly about the ability for people to feel safe within these walls. That included Wendy. 

But choice was equally important to her. So she let out a small sigh. “If you’re certain, I will wait. I’m not treating this lightly, but the perks of being a private business is that we can ban whoever we wish. If I do hear of him causing any other trouble here, I will ban him regardless for the safety of the staff and the customers.” It was a compromise and a warning together. She hoped it was enough. 

WENDY

“For the safety of the staff and the customers? They are only safe because his focus is on me! He is sadistic and will play with everyone in this building if he thinks they have slighted them. Even now, even rehiring me is pushing him, showing him we are able to out smart him. He will make your life a living hell if he thinks for a moment you have slighted him.” Wendy’s voice grew shrill as she panicked the glass of water shattering from the pitch and emotion of her voice and while Wendy flinched she took a step back and a breath to calm herself.

“It is better for everyone if he continues to focus only on me, you can not ban him from here.”

JESSICA

The glass shattering caused Jessica to flinch slightly in surprise, but it was only a small flinch in reaction. Most of her focus stayed steadily on Wendy, trying to understand the best path forward. She had a feeling saying that she wouldn’t care about dealing with hell if it took the pressure off of Wendy wouldn’t help in this case. Even if it was true.

“If you’re right that his focus is only on you, then you have nothing to worry about. He’s already played his game here, and I’m guessing he’s not the kind of person to do the same thing twice. I won’t be reckless, I promise.”

WENDY

Nimble might not, he had tried and he would learn he failed, he wouldn’t try in the same regard but that didn’t mean that he wasn’t going to try again. Wendy would just need to be more aware. She needed to make sure this home stayed safe.

Letting out a sigh she nodded. Even if she didn’t think Jess knew what she was promising.

Brushing her hair back Wendy nodded. “We will see then. If I am ever worried about it harming you here I will quit.” That was a promise.

JESSICA

The last thing Jessica wanted was for Wendy to quit, but she had a feeling this was as close to a compromise as the two of them would be able to manage. After all, they were both the type to worry more about others than themselves. She would just have to hope it wouldn’t need to be tested.

“We’ll take it one day at a time and see how it goes,” Jessica smiled softly. “Now why don’t you head home. It’s been a full day for you.”

WENDY

Wendy sighed again but she nodded, She didn’t really feel like sticking around and if she didn’t then Nimble would think that he won for a little longer and that would at least give Wendy some more time to figure everything out.

“I’ll see you later Jess.” Wendy stood and moved to leave, nodding once at Sarina on the way out.

Elliot nodded, he was thankful he had someone who was able to do this, someone who was willing to do so without asking too much.

Who was letting him retreat completely.
