  • Oh yeah! Soooo many of the things that make Cat cool she learned as the Squire to the Black Knight. I love his worldview, his genre-savy and blunt pragmatism.

    His little speech of why he chose Catherine over Akua is just Chef’s kiss

    I chose you Catherine Foundling, because I remember what it’s like… that feeling in your stomach when you look at the world around you and you know you could do better.

    The things Heiress knows, you can learn. Will learn.
    But that indignation you have boiling under your skin?
    That is not something that can be taught.
    And that is exactly why, when the time comes… you will beat her.



  • Catherine Foundling, the Protagonist of A Practical Guide to Evil.

    But I don’t know if this counts. Catherine has only the best intentions and many Heros are kinda Dicks in PGtE. She definitely causes a lot of (what she considers) necessary suffering to end unnecessary suffering. And in-universe she undeniably is a Villain, but as the villain protagonist it’s hard to argue that she’s on the same page as villain antagonists.











  • Dark Gods! My cast Iron cookware and my carbon steel pan have gotten me in the habit of doing dishes directly, because those motherfuckers will rust like a cybertruck when I let them sit three to four days. But on the plus side, I can mostly just use a paper towel or for harder stuff hot water and a brush and they are so very nice again. Dry and oil them after and they’ll remain good for months and the seasoning only gets better with every use. (Except if I do something with tomatos or vinegar, the seasoning really doesn’t like acid)




  • The people who manufacture the drugs that make you go peacefully have embargoed the USA, because they don’t want their drugs used for state sanctioned murder.

    • Manufacturer Bans: Pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Baxter International, B. Braun Medical, Fresenius Kabi, and Johnson & Johnson, have established policies to stop their products from being used in capital punishment.

    • EU Export Restrictions: In 2011, the European Union passed anti-torture measures that prohibit the trade of goods used for capital punishment.


  • When France and Germany did not follow the US under G. W. Bush into Iraq in 2003, the language used did not differ significantly from the language about not following the US into the Straight of Hormuz.

    Obama had SOOO MUCH to make up for and wasn’t able to rehabilitate the image of the US… and then everything got EVEN WORSE!

    You’ve been like this AT LEAST since Regan. Trump is not the cause, he is a SYMPTOM of a sickness that has festered for AT LEAST 45 years, not only in your politics but in american society.

    I imagine it’ll take about the same amount of time to change the american people back into a nation that can be respected instead of feared and loathed.

    Trump is nothing, he’s unimportant in the grand scheme of things. The real enemy is the mindset of a majority (republican or democrat) of americans.
