Instead of having players pick from the standard array of fantasy languages pertaining to the outer planes, have players pick from the kinds of ways people speak to each other within one language
Lawful: The player character is fluent in legalese, unphased by pages of legal wording.
Chaotic: The PC is fluent in tumblrspeak consistently able detect the subtle ways NPC's express their emotions through their words, both said and unsaid
"Good" : The PC is adept at virtue signaling and coming off as an upstanding citizen. To other "upstanding citizens" at least.
"Evil" : The PC is adpet at deciphering when NPC's are being edgy on purpose versus their genuine beliefs.
One of these days I'll actually DM a campaign, and this is going into the world building
I dont think im done grieving my little brother (he's not dead, he's just a stranger now). I don't think I'll ever be done. Its matured from missing the bright little guy he was at age 7 into missing who he could have been at age 17 and now into missing what our family would have been if the whole thing hadn't gone the way it did (7 years of trauma and cyber stalking and court cases and weekly 9 hour drives and... and... and...). My aunt found him on Instagram, but he blocked me after I reached out. I don't think he wants to find us, and I guess that's okay. Its one less thing to look back on, right? I can stop waiting and hoping that he'll come back and let the book close on that chapter of my life. (Let the law textbook close, let the hope die, finally allow myself to accept that he's gone and I'll never see him again, let myself accept that he's alive and thats enough). All I can do is focus on the siblings I still have, focus on wanting to cut my mother off for the right reasons, if I want to cut her off at all (my partner doesn't think I should, I don't know if I can bear either option)

Tis the Season for Goat Watching
Welcome one and all to our yearly watch of the Gävle Goat! The goat will be inaugurated on the first sunday of Advent (this Sunday 11/30) at which point our official watch of the Gävle Goat's fate will begin.
As always, I will post my updates around midnight Swedish time, and I will date my updates. However, I strongly recommend turning on time stamps if you do not have them on already, inevitably old posts about the goat burning will circulate and cause some confusion.
Here is my plug for the Gävle Goat Wikipedia page for those wishing to review past goat antics.
Find the livestream linked here!
And finally, as always, my very best to the arsonists in Gävle!
Livestream linked in the original post and below
This is the reason for the season, yall

"South African entrepreneur Phumla Makhoba is on a mission to solve the “global south housing crisis.” And she’s doing it by using clothing waste.
Her invention, Texiboard, is a material that combines fibers found in textile waste with lime cement to create a durable, affordable, and circular building material.
The result is a textured, white square, almost tile-like, that is created with recycled materials — not emission-generating wood or concrete.
“It can be used to make furniture, flooring, walls, or even your entire home,” Makhoba said in a video for social media account We Got Earth.
The first iterations of the Texiboard included colorful cotton threads that were compressed together, with multiple attempts to remove cracks and seams and perfect the ratios of size, shape, and material mass.
With her design firm, Studio People, Makhoba has been working since 2022 to perfect the TexiBoard.
Makhoba has since created a solid panel, with shredded textile fiber and natural lime cement fully cured. Finally, it can be formed into a full sheet of building material.
Once realized, the Texiboard will confront the estimated 92 million tons of clothing waste generated around the globe each year. But it will also provide safe and stable housing that Makhoba says only 20% of South Africans can afford.
“Growing up, I saw two worlds: one with polished buildings, and one built from scrap,” she said in a video. “I always wondered, why do some people get homes that last and others get homes that leak?”
Now, the Texiboard design is available as an open-source resource, and Makhoba and her team host in-person workshops for locals living in shacks to learn how to build their own supportive and sustainable housing.
“Just having a roof isn’t enough,” Makhoba said. “A real home should protect you from the weather, work for your daily life, and not fall apart in five years.”
Her approach includes a full theory of change. Right now, Studio People is in the input process, building partnerships and funding to scale their operation. From there, they hope to develop a fully sustainable supply chain to manufacture and sell Texiboards and help build affordable housing for people in need.
Once that dream is realized, Makhoba outlines the tangible output of this work: Economically inclusive waste management, circular building materials, green jobs, and a sustainable housing and manufacturing market.
“Informal settlements can be transformed when we all work together,” she shares on the Studio People website. “Texiboard is the seed of innovation that will create updated trade jobs in the innovative building industry.”
Although the Texiboard is still being completely perfected, the goal is to provide a weather-proof, cost-effective, and circular way to house people by democratizing the act of building.
“Our goal is to create an egalitarian and sustainable urban environment, helping shack dwellers and youth out of poverty,” Studio People shared on LinkedIn.
“We empower the underdog, including people and businesses, to co-create solutions in our fight against the housing crisis, unsustainable building materials, and unemployment — one board at a time.”"

This is so cool!!
I watched Your Name with my partner the other day. It was the first time I had seen it since it came out in the states back in 2019(?). I remember sobbing like a baby in the theater, and that it was such a beautiful animation experience, so when I saw it on HBO max, I suggested it to watch together.
Yall, I was NOT prepared.
At first, as the movie continued on i was worried that it wouldnt hit as hard the second time. I should not have been. I sobbed so hard
I dont like the way my brain works.
Im currently unable to speak because im so stressed out that my partner is going to... work out some details about the process of us moving in together???
In my head, I dont know what the big deal is. I already know that I have a lot of stuff and we don't have a lot of space, we're a bit of an odd couple in the classic sense (he's neat, im messy, we're technically queer but nobody's gonna say that outside of the gay community). I've been messy, and when he put stuff out of the way (in a way we discussed and that im not objecting to) i freaked out?????? And so im trying to continue functioning while fighting the notion that he's going to kick me out?????????? WHERE IS THAT COMING FROM??????????
I love this man so much, and he loves me too. He shows me every day how much he cares about me. I work my ass off to do the same for him. He's not acting withdrawn or cold. I know that im reacting to how people have treated me in the past.
Honestly, typing all that out did help me feel better. Im still stressed, but I think im calming down.
This man is one of my best friends, and he would never do anything to hurt me. Equally, I never want to do anything that hurts him, and if my unexamined habits are stressing him out I want to know about it as soon as possible so I can stop doing that!!!!!! Things are operating as planned!!!!!!
And I still went to bed worried that he didnt love me last night. I woke up with that worry and hearing the dreaded "let's plan out some details RE: storage and living arrangements" sent me into a spiral.
I dont love it here.

Nonna Gianna's Best Carbonara
My Nonna Gianna would have turned 99 today. Alas, she is no longer with us. So in honour of her being awesome and fighting fascism* I bring you her authentic Spaghetti Carbonara recipe!**
The recipe can be scaled up depending on the number of people needing to be fed.
A word of warning: This dish is RICH. Pure carbs and fat. It makes my poor fragile IBS gut weep after two mere mouthfuls. It makes grown men lie down for epic naps. It will also make vegans cry, but this recipe is not for them, sorry.***
Per person you‘ll need:
- 1 chicken egg, very fresh
- 100ml heavy cream
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1/4 small onion, finely minced
- 1 generous dash of dry white wine (optional, but enhances the flavour so I suggest to include it)
- 50gr bacon cubes. If you can find Guanciale, go for it!! otherwise regular bacon is okay
- 70-100gr of grated parmesan/pecorino/grana padano (in a pinch you could use other „extra hard italian cheese“ or whatever cheap parmesan copy you find around but original is defo better)
- 100gr spaghetti
1. boil plenty of water for spaghetti and add salt
2. in a small bowl or a measuring cup, mix egg and cream very well- it needs to be homogenous. Add 3/4 of the grated parmesan, a pinch of salt and some black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
3. Heat a Tbsp of olive oil (canola or similar will work in a pinch) in a large frying pan, then gently fry bacon, onion and garlic on medium heat, until golden. Make sure it doesn’t burn. Add dash of white wine and reduce completely. Turn heat down to low.
4. Finish cooking spaghetti. Drain and add them to the frying pan. Toss with the bacon and onion.
NOW COMES THE IMPORTANT PART:
5. Add the cream/egg mixture to the warm pan. Mix everything gently, stirring continuously, until the sauce thickens to a thin custardy consistency and starts sticking to the spaghetti. This may take a couple minutes.
NOW: If it doesn’t thicken, you may increase the heat on your stove a little. Do NOT try and crank the heat up to max or the eggs will curdle!! Scrambled Egg Carbonara is NOT tasty! Medium heat maximum. Keep stirring continuously until thickened, then take pan off the heat immediately.
6. Taste, and add a little more salt if needed. Serve with the rest of the parmesan and some freshly cracked black pepper.
Buon Appetito, and remember to use your newfound energy to punch a fascist in the face.
* Nonna Gianna smuggled weapons for the Italian Partisans during WW2 by carrying them in her mom‘s shopping bag. She also spied on the nazis. Anyone who thinks that is not awesome, get off this blog NOW.
** listen there are a lot of different types of Carbonara recipes around. This might not be the "original" one but who cares, it is tasty!
*** for a vegetarian version, you can sub finely cubed smoked tofu for the bacon, 1:1. It is also possible to add some cooked peas or finely diced broccoli florets right before tossing everything together but ya know.... Carbonara is not supposed to be healthy. This is soul food.

no nuance for the choices, elaborate in the tags. regularly means making an conscious effort to find and listen to songs in a different language of your own volition and not just letting them play on the radio/hearing them at work/other situations where you are not in control of the music
no judgement i’m just interested if that’s a contributing factor to the prev poll
@ prev sure thing o7
I listen to a lot of folk music, which includes folk metal. Also BabyMetal and some Kpop
