Can we just start stabbing Julius Caesar now it's been a hard week.

@new-nork

Absolutely horrid that a 10hr sleep does not cure you of all that ails you

it doesn't even cure me of being tired

maybe i like my tech a little bit inconvenient

maybe i like pulling out my debit card instead of using apple pay. maybe i like untangling my wired headphones. maybe i like typing something into the search bar instead of using siri or whatever. maybe i like curating my own social media feeds over an algorithm. i just don’t think everything has to be perfectly streamlined and efficient i like it when things feel tethered to the real world.

I see a lot of nobles out here who think "Well I have a 10,000 square foot castle, surely that's enough space for a knight." WRONG. Knights are WORKING BREEDS, they need to go on regular quests to prove their fealty and come home horribly wounded. I have seen SO MANY adopted knights DESPONDENT because their liege keeps them cooped up in a castle and won't let them go on quests. If you want an armored warrior who will be happy in your castle you need to get a castellan. They're closely related to the knight breed but adapted to the castle environment.

Cooping them up too long is actually how you end up with 60 to 70 thousand dead geese when they finally get out again.

But enough bout that

how is everyone feeling today

imagine if i did my work. if i sat down and Did it. and it was Done. can you even imagine such a thing

Everyone's all "ohhh 2026 bring back physical media" until I start talking illuminated manuscripts and then suddenly we're not on the same page anymore

Well, with illuminated manuscripts it's standard to use foliation rather than pagination, that might explain it

like 40% of english idioms are just Textiles Again
