i am supposed to be ringing a quarter of Cambridge and Bourne Surprise Minor tomorrow evening (in like 19 hours)

i have rung a HALF peal of Cambridge Major, but minor is so much fasterβ€½

and i have rung one (1) plain course of Bourne Minor. i did not get through it without making a mistake.

it's for my girlfriend's birthday the following day. last year, we failed to get a quarter of Grandsire Doubles for her birthday. i do not want a recurring failure to be the marker of her birthday???

*screaming*

okay so we did it

just about

i would not say i rang well, but i sure did ring i guess, and it did come round

It came round!

This was very fun! There are a surprising number of these in fiction (and even more that we thought would be funny!)

He doesn’t even know, and he doesn’t want to.

I don't go here but I feel like "It's a metaphor. Don't force it to do the work of a fact." is a great statement about literature and fan-content in general.

i love truck stops in winter bc i love a little good old fashioned reconnaissance. i’m at a wyoming truck stop eating taco bell with a bunch of random truckers discussing road conditions like we’re in a high fantasy tavern & inn and we’re warning each other about monsters and highway men. everyone talking about where we’re coming from and going to and how bad it’ll be getting there.

THE tallest man i’ve ever seen in real life just stopped me in the hallway by the coin operated laundry apropos of nothing and asked β€œwhich direction are you going?” i said east and he said β€œgood” and walked away.

i caught up with him and asked why and he said β€œwest’s no good right now. i just came from there.”

apparently a truck jackknifed and has traffic backed up ten miles but he sounded for all the world like he just found his village raised to the ground by an evil mage’s army

...it's super cool in a 'historian with goosebumps' kind of way that this whole experience is essentially timeless.

As long as we've had ROADS or even game trails this

very scene

has played out in brush shelters, shrines, taverns, inns, post stations, and hotel lobbies.

Humans, out upon the Ways, where danger may be, sharing information because we live when we cooperate and share and we all know it out there.

arguing with a "the bible is all fake" person is so exhausting. "book of fairy tales!!!" well yeah it's the oral tradition passed down to us by our ancestors with the goal of teaching our children life lessons about how to live in the world. like every folktale. including fairy tales. "b b but its not true!!!!" yeah i know thats why i go to shul early on saturday mornings for torah study to sit down with my community and see what truths we can find in our traditional stories. "but somebody made it up!!!!!!" yeah, our ancestors did, to teach us how to live by our culture's laws and values. "but it didn't happen!!!!!!!!!!" no but what did happen is our ancestors cherished and protected and passed along these stories because the lessons they teach are so important to our culture so if you'd step aside please i'd like to continue studying what my predecessors worked so hard for me to have

A thing can be accurate in all its details and not say anything True about life and living. A thing can be unverifiable in its particulars and teach a deeper Truth. Not understanding this is a failure of imagination and critical thinking. Go read some Discworld and get back to me when you understand the importance of telling stories.
