Okay, so I think I've locked in on the ABC acronym, but haven't fully narrowed it down a meaning yet. Right now I'm at

-Arcane Biology Compendium
-Arcane Biology and Civilizations
-Arcane Beasts and Critters (or Creatures)

or some permutation between those. Or the Arcane Beast and Creatures Field Guide or something like that. At least I feel like I have something slightly settled to work off of now instead of the nebulous pile of synonyms I've been mired in for weeks.

I tried looking up synonyms of "race" for something and dang if the thesaurus didn't have some thoughts on the matter

Everything is literally about money to them, it's the only filter they can view the world through. You can't appeal to their morality, you can only threaten their income. https://witches.town/media/So1J6ctAO0GaS-OSskQ

People know Twitter is rancid but they keep on using it. They're upset by whatever DC or Marvel did that week but next Wednesday they still go in and pick up their pull-list. People say they want change but no one is willing to be inconvenienced to achieve it.

Listening to a podcast on the Mongomery bus boycott, and I just still don't know why we aren't actually boycotting things 24/7 right now. When the enemy is all corporate-driven, all they're going to fear is loss of business, and the only you have to do is not do something, so long as we're all not doing it together.

Reverse mycology

Hoped my new bike part would arrive earlier so I could go for a lunch ride but guess I'll just sit here not eating chinese food >:C

How do you make time lapse art videos, can you do something to an existing video or do you have to record specifically for it as you're drawing

Never Not Funny brought on a listener who is a Parkland teacher and the conversation isn't especially rough but still just going into crying jags listening to people talk about these things

Alright, new blood pressure med is: go

It is kind of nuts to me that Black Panther was a more feminist movie than Wonder Woman.

Although it's also interesting that in a movie with so many good roles for women, I'm struggling to remember if it passes the Bechdel test because so much of it was about taking out Klaue or Killmonger or pulling T'challa's ass out of the fire, but in this case I think it speaks more to the test than any specific failings of the movie.

Hodag was the first entry I did for the Compendium, so AO doing a write-up about one as I work on the reboot feels like a good omen. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/the-hodag

Tonight I dreamt of trying to get the last french fry out of a massive, needlessly complicated frier so still stressful but a step up from nuclear war. Also there was some minor flooding.

Woke up this morning after a dream punctuated by nuclear bombs going off in the distance so hoping tonight's programming is a little less bleak and stressful.

It is my permanent headcanon that the Party Rock Anthem video is part of iZombie continuity.

Telebra usually does a few Raids each week, but have been picking one Raid-dropped mount to run on all of my alts. Currently going after the Onyxian drake, because she has always thus far eluded me and she is, if I may be so bold, one of the few drake mounts that doesn't look like ass.

Monster Hunter seems fun on a gameplay level, World seems less inscrutable to me than earlier entries but I don't think I could play one of those games without feeling awful the entire time.

Bayonnaise

I never think to include Bayonetta when I'm thinking of my favorite games but it's probably in the top five. It's so over-the-top and the combat just feels so satisfying.
