TBH if you're being selected against by height, those people are shitty people in the first place and they're doing you a favor staying away.

You'd have better luck checking the pokemon center website or Etsy.

Hey there's this podcast by anti-fascist journalist Molly Conger. She has been awesome on Twitter for a long time, but this podcast is well-produced and interesting. Each episode profiles the life of a Nazi criminal.

CW for the show and title follow. Please read content warnings before listening and there may be more content warnings I missed!

spoilerWeird Little Guys has descriptions of sexual/racial harassment (that are most often psychosexual in nature), bomb threats, pedophilia, physical and mental abuse, and more. Probably don't listen if you have triggers along those lines.

I knew the rules from osmosis cause my sister played in early 2000s. I had heard of planeswalkers but I didn't know how it worked.

They only play commander AFAIK.

My deck is kinda funny, I bestow menace & goad all over the place and then when people take damage, I draw and sometimes get treasure.

Friends got me into playing mtg commander and I have now spent $50 total on a precon + upgrade single cards. No single card costs more than $1.

Surely I won't be spending any more money than that ever again.

Its probably healthiest to go between, honestly. Make sure you take short breaks to stretch.

It stopped because the word stop was in the reply

 

Femi Kuti - Africa Will Be Great Again lyrics

{Verse} Can you believe there was a time in Nigeria, the exchange was 2 Dollars to one Naira? (Can you believe?) Cost of living was cheap, education at all level was also free (Can you believe?) That time one Naira na plenty money, one thousand go make you feel like king (Can you believe?) Two hundred and fifty naira go fly you out of the country (Can you believe?) Nigerians were profiting from the oil, many jubilating on the dance floor (Can you believe?) Our father “Fela” cited corruption and wonder case economy destruction (Can you believe?) Say with all our Oil money, too many Nigerians were suffering and poor (Can you believe?) instead make our leaders listen, them beat am and lock am for prison (Can you believe?) Using austerity and inflation to cover corruption and stealing (Can you believe?) Political criminals walk around free, living the Country easy (Can you believe?) {Chorus} Africa will be great again, where peace and love will reign (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again when corruption stops and our Country politicians stop to dey chop (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again when we have first class institutions, infrastructures and not political destruction (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again na (Africa will be great again) (?) (Africa will be great again) Stronger and greater Africa (Africa will be great again) be inspired, don’t be tired (Africa will be great again) Don’t be tired, be inspired (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) (?) (Africa will be great again) Stronger and greater Africa (Africa will be great again) be inspired, don’t be tired (Africa will be great again) Don’t be tired, be inspired (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again (Africa will be great again) Africa will be great again

Thinking it over, I think the third YouTube link labeled Hadestown 2019 is the best because perfect subtitles is really important for some viewers.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=u-LzVEOPD7E - best visuals, bad sound, no subtitles

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Aj4nmgRVRKo - okay visuals, has spotty subtitles (like 70% of the time)

https://youtube.com/watch?v=QG2NY6s3WtI - great visuals, decent sound, has human written subtitles.

https://linktr.ee/htbootlegs - downloadable from mega, the Broadway one is second row so that would be my vote for which one to use… best sound quality, however there are no subtitles and the spotlights are very washed out (pretty bad visuals). And I know some comrades won’t be able to do without subtitles so…

 

Highly recommend this album. The topic is

CW medical misogyny, horrible illness, chronic painshe had post-pregnancy osteoporosis (undiagnosed) with exquisite pain and her doctors wouldn't fucking believe her and LITERALLY called her hysterical. She asked for an MRI and they refused and then she paid for her own and guess what? She had 10 fractured vertebrae.

Aside from the powerful topic, the album is all in the same key and has like 10 distinct, amazing grooves on similar chords. This plus the addition of several interludes gives the impression that it isn't just a few songs, but it's actually all part of one longer work. Lucy's voice is amazing, and her piano arrangements are KILLER.

The audio production (especially creative techniques) are to die for as well. Excitingly beautiful reverb, and on the track Dusty Frames there is this warbly effect on the piano that sounds like it was badly compressed to MP3 which brings back major nostalgia for me.

You can listen on Bandcamp for free, but 8 pounds/10 USD is a steal for this record.

I wanted to buy the signed vinyl but shipping is over $20 to the US. The album cover is CLASSIC style, though.

Favorite Tracks: Over When It's Over, Dusty Frames

 

This Next Fest is the best I've seen yet! List any cool game demos or trailers here.

My standouts:

Berserk Boy - Mega-Man trope game that looks to have great platforming and run + gun gameplay and pixel art.
Death of the Reprobate - Midieval art collage point and click game.
Bride Into the Cave - Horror puzzle game about a minority girl in ancient China trying to save herself, and a myth about an cave that houses a deity who names a girl and her soul disappears from the the mortal realm. The trailer music was incredible and the art was also stunning.
Hauntii - Monochromatic (or sometimes a few shades of the same color) game in which you play a ghost and you possess various objects and animals to make progress. Casual / Adventure
Chasing the Unseen - Shadow of the colossus type game where you climb impossibly massive animals like snakes and Octopi in a surreal world.
Ultros - Psychedelic Metroidvania with an unbelievable 2d art style where you "wake up stranded on The Sarcophagus, a Cosmic uterus holding an ancient demonic being.
