People would make fun of her in the usual racist way (directly hating blackness) as opposed to what they do now (which is point and stare at the white girl “degrading herself” by acting black). Both racist, slightly different flavors of racist.

Yeah, that makes sense. I could also call it verbal blackface as Poodletime did, to underscore the offensiveness.

Eh. She’s less obnoxious overall because at least she’s not faking anything. Also because she’s a kid and people were just trying to use her for a laugh.

Not seeing LE or criminal injustice is white privilege, yes. A lot of white privilege is not seeing things.

I got the “female rage” phrase from a commenter downthread. I felt it needed to be repeated.

See, I love Dragons, but Baba Yaga is the anti-Trump. She is female rage. She gives no fucks. She pulls no punches. We need this.

Life Goals.

First letter: what does your girlfriend want to do? This is her sister and her family drama. It’s also her wedding, as well as yours.

I hear that. I made the jump to digital, but it helps my conscience that the local comic shop is also a gaming store and still gets my money. I wish you could buy digital from the local stores somehow (and in a way that meaningfully supports them.)

Kelpie on the left, Baba Yaga on the right.

I earnestly want something cool and weird to win.

Ugh yeah. I actually googled it after I posted that because I was worried I got the numbers wrong, and I ended up reading that it has a really old origin as the “ideal” age for a wife, and some people claim that it’s the age difference men naturally prefer.

No, more like a puppy-eyed greasy dude who uses magazine perfume in place of a shower.

I figured golem beauty could do cool stuff with gemstones.

One rule I’ve heard is “half your age plus seven.” In that case the minimum for a 24 year old would be 19.

Eh. Aren’t they probably going to update the 8 sometime next spring?

The main thing I’ve gotten out of all this is that my city needs real Bodegas. Real ones. They sound great.

They just need to make a round Apple Watch. It still looks dumb. It reminds me of those calculator watches from when I was a kid.

Looks like Motel 6 is owned by The Blackstone Group.

This is wonderful. I’ve been listening to the first “Friends at the Table” podcast campaign by Austin Walker, and one of my favorite things about it is the way he will occasionally switch systems for a special event.
