the best anecdote is one in which nothing happens
My workplace is a fairly conservative environment with what we shall politely call "old traditional worldviews". For the most part it never comes up, but sometimes people get into a rant and then I hear some sort of cringy combination of words involving "the gays" and grooming or brainwashing or whatever and it's honestly just so tiresome.

I always feel a bit blue around this time, and the whole pandemic isn't helping. It all kinda boils down to the foundations of my identify.

I hear the road is usually down for repair anyways
Random memory from many many years ago. There were a bunch of us sitting around the lunch table making idle conversations and someone mentions the words treasure trail. One person asks "what's a treasure trail?" which prompts some silly descriptions, and then the conversation turns to what would you call it when someone is particularly hairy. The ( Read more... ) -
the disappearance of fae creatures
You know how in the olden days of yore, we had stories of fae creatures running wild? Of witches and fairies and goblins? Then as the centuries wore on it seems the stories have faded away. Some would say this is due to the simple modernization of the world. As technology and science progresses, as our understanding of the world improves, more and ( Read more... )
