#open mic time!

[helluvahell]

　" Okay. My turn. "

　Nero leaps up onto the stage with a grin as the music kicks up. Performance may not be his strong suit, but the attention is all he really needs to make his voice rise in his throat.

　" Bring to me your sons and daughters... 'cause absinthe makes the heart grow fonder... No, I don't care what momma says! You'll wind me up or you'll wind up dead! " Music quiets, lights go low, " I don't care what momma says. "

　He twirls with a flourish, detaching the skirt-like train from his waist and sending it cascading into the audience as the music rises again.

　" I don't believe whatever this is! Until you burn all of the witches! I won't believe whatever this is! Whatever they give you, stop drinking it down! " The microphone is pulled from its stand and he trots excitedly into the audience, his gait turning sultry, seductive, as the music winds down again.

　As he continues, Nero pauses at the sides of onlookers, claws caressing cheeks and chins and curling into hair. " If I were you, then I'd stop talking... 'cause soon you'll be a dead man walking. I don't care what momma says! You'll wind me up or you'll wind up dead! " He spots one particular audience member, climbing expertly up to their eye level with the help of one of the tables, and pulls them in close. " I don't care what momma says. "

　A spin, a stomp, hips moving quite purposefully in front of his chosen bystander. " I don't believe whatever this is! Until you burn all of the witches! I won't believe whatever this is! Whatever they give you, stop drinking it down! " When the music slows again, he drops rather precariously down onto his backside, arching his back to sprawl across the table.

　" I hear voices, I see visions. These spirits are your prison. I hear voices, I see visions. These spirits are your prison! " And he's up again, strutting back up through the crowd and back to the stage.

　" I don't believe whatever this is! Until you burn all of the witches! I won't believe whatever this is! Until you burn all of the witches! I don't believe whatever this is... "

　And he ends his performance with a low bow.

IDK about the rest of the Chronic Illness Crowd, but my god. My health is so tenuous under the weight of stress right now. I am fighting tooth and nail to hold onto some hope for the future. Some possibility that there will be a place for me in the world come next year. And I do not, cannot know for sure I will get to be around that long. Most of the reasons as to why are out of my control.

It hurts all the more because my mental health is in a good place. I want to keep living. I want to take part in this big, beautiful world of ours. So why is life so hostile to me being in it?

Tell me a fun Bill and Ted fact? I know nothing about them really

Bill and Ted is such a fascinating franchise to me bc it's Super Obvious that a majority of people's awareness of it begins and ends with the first movie - Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure - and yet there is so much to uncover about these dudes. There are three films, one novelization, like 7 comic series, a cartoon that ran for 2 seasons, a musical, a live action show that ran for 7 (bad) episodes, like 3 video games, and a pretty longstanding run as a Halloween Horror Nights show.

They're also extremely fun characters because there's like, such a prevalent tendency to generalize their character types, but they're actually Super specific personalities. Like, Bill and Ted don't ever use the words 'rad' or 'bro' nor any 'surfer lingo' or 'valley speak', they're not ever sarcastic/ironic they're like Painfully earnest constantly (the writers even specified that Bill and Ted are "these innocents who would wander wide-eyed into any situation and treat everyone exactly the same - completely open, completely friendly" and the Director also refers to the 'Puppy Factor' wrt Bill and Ted, meaning they should both "Be like big Labrador Retrievers who just bounce along and love life",) they Do use the word 'dude' nigh constantly BUT people always underestimate how often they'll use each other's names equally as often, and also they're really not slackers or deliberately dismissive of schooling/education - they are trying really hard, they just genuinely struggle/can't learn things right (you can tell they even kind of Value it because they do make an effort to use like, Expanded Vocabulary, it's just that they don't always fully understand the words so they'll use them wrong on accident) - i just love them so much

idk for me its just the boldness to be like "i support people with stigmatized disorders" and then immediately be like "but also if you guys have any stigmatized disorder at all please stay the fuck away from me, i dont need the goodie points :3" like the cognitive dissonance is crazy

Occasionally have been seeing some people say that they actually did not like the Deadpool and Wolverine movie whatsoever and honestly I understand.

I feel like the movie is Nacho Cheese flavored Doritos with crack cocaine sprinkled on top served at a “strip club” (someone’s basement where it is the stripper version of an open mic, and they are dancing around those support beams like polls).

It’s really fucking out there and most people will only like parts of it, but hate the rest.

Some won’t like any of this and be confused as to why we love this shit show.

Went to FanX all 3 days and it was great!

But there was a panel today and it was so disappointing.

There were these guys doing a panel on celebrating 50 years of dnd and I was excited to go.

It was not a celebration. it was 80% them talking about how much they hate 4e and 20% talking about how 1e and 2e are the best editions and talking about the satanic panic and how it affected them specifically.

I love 4e, I still run it to this day. They literally ended the panel with the sentence "4e sucks. except minions that was the only good thing about 4e."

Okay cool thanks.

On the topic of learning after the election, what I am personally coming to grips with is just how expansive radicalization pipelines have become. Like, we were seeing this in 2020. Part of the work and activism I was doing before needing to retire was outreach. And I am haunted by so many of the interactions I'd been having. How talking to my peers was getting a little harder everyday, and my younger sibling's peers were steadily becoming hostile.

For me, it is also crystal clear that like. Leftists became so comfortable with the idea that radicalization is exclusively a conservative phenomenon, we have collectively failed to discuss intracommunity cooperation or information seriously.

There's a contingent of leftists that has fully bought into the conservative pet talking point of liberal fascists. Leftists ready to blame every Black and brown person as responsible for a lost election. Radfeminism is rampant among the furthest left queer circles, and it is ready to betray every man over. The sheer glee some leftists are expressing over anybody being "taught a lesson" by this election.

We were seeing the outline of this shit in 2020. I inundated my colleagues with what I was seeing, and tried to walk them through deescalating this. It is staggering to me just how much this grew out of control in 4 years.

We as leftists are not immune to propaganda, but my god. We've been fucking acting like we are. What the fuck have we all been doing?
