the reason you can only play as a boy in the original pocket monsters games is that girls don't have pockets

mel, mel, mel
mel is probably either artificial intelligence, endurance, fear, shapeshifting, or endurance, fertility, journeying, sun. we might be able to narrow this one down more, but we don't really want to

our dear little cain is....predictable enough. deception, fire, and peak human are the most fitting

crows: birds, engineering, luck, theft. exactly what you'd expect

alkali, probably artifice, health, and journeying, if we had to pick three. artifice is a bit clunky for what we're trying for here, but intoxication is the only other close option and that's definitely not right

knives—cities, protection, and, since we're not sure exactly what's what of these three, one of either murder, sword, or vengeance

nima was pretty obvious. sorcery and time, of course, and given cer more futuristic associations network made sense as well

kai, on the other hand, fit half a dozen. desire, shapeshifting, dance, even journeying....
we settled on artificial intelligence, faerie queen, luck, music, and passion. kind of a lot for one person to bind, but any less feels like something is missing
we could probably drop music and be fine, though. kai is more of the musician than kai is

Being able to say 'yeah and?' When your opponent is trying to deligitmize you unfairly is such a power move. It also shows that your movement is at least mostly honest about its goals. If even the warped version of the goals your opponent spits back at you seem reasonable, that's a great sign. It makes you seem reasonable.

moriel's first two words were simple: night and knowledge. we already knew that. it was tougher finding a fitting third, but fate worked out surprisingly well

using the words from the core book + the lexicon of the throne, we're trying to stat out various system members

Fash-right: Antifa is Gay, protesters want death to america, millenials just want free everything, trans people will steal your gender, and here's a meme about that.
Rad-left: you're right. Thanks for the meme.

@AudreyJune this is exactly what I mean when I make the lightning bolt analogy

lightning doesn't get it right on the first try, instead forking off this way and that, trying out various possible paths, but eventually all that forking about finds the path most suited to the lightning bolt, then it commits

the forked paths don't lead all the way to the ground, but that's fine, those were there to find the path that not only did, but did so in the best way

the lightning bolt discovers itself by continuous experimentation

Caption reads: The world is not divided into east and west. You are American, I am Iranian. We don't know each other, but we speak and can understand one another perfectly.

The difference between you and your government is much different than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much more than the difference between you and me.

And our governments are quite the same.

international solidarity 

No matter where we live, working people have the same enemy: a ruling class that starves, abuses, exploits, neglects us and sends us to die in their ridiculous wars that have nothing to do with us.

I have more in common with any given clock-punching Iranian than I do with the bloodless creeps who run our foreign policy death cult. They're not my "team."

police sirens are a reminder that there are still people to free from slavery

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but if you are struggling with your transition I highly recommend the vague but great advice of “Just try things.”

Do lots of different things and take stock of how you feel. And then do more things. Listen to yourself. Trust your own psychological and emotional responses. Some things won’t work, they won’t work at all. Stop doing those things

And when you find things you like, do them more. Find more things that give you that positive feeling.

Just, don’t ever give up doing shit.
