So the Made To Do It exchange revealed like. A few hours after my last post. Oh well! Candy hearts is out of anon now also. So here's a bit of writing reveals! I'm really all over the place with these - I also need to reply to comments at some point:

And now - more of a rant? Maybe a couple of interrelated rants, IDK. Today my loan hold came on in Robin Wall Kimmerer's The Serviceberry, and since it was only 2 hours and it was a shortened loan (onluy 7 days), I figured I'd just blow through it in basically a day and like one scheduled listening session. I'm also working on World War Z by Max Brooks. It's a strange juxtposition, but reading WWZ in a post-covid, second Trump presidency is already a bit of a wild ride, as I think I already mentioned, but there's a lot kin there about communities and economic stuff and survival and I'm just like. Hmmm. You know what this book is missing? Indigenous perspective. of course there are a LOT of perspectives that are in the book, though I'm not in love with all of the interpretations, it is at least interesting. Anyway. This conjunction made me think of another thing as well. I have been watching the anime called Dr. Stone, which has some pretty nonsense bit but is essentially about a teen genius scientist who wakes up thousands of years after everyone on earth was turned to stone, and how he reinvents all the science on a condensed timeline to revive technology for the other people he brings back. Sometimes it is very clever and sometimes it is really insulting even if you are willing to accept the general premise and that there is no timeline for a lot of it so it could be taking years.... until it clearly isn't. Anyway in the season I'm watching now they decide to go to North America so they can get corn for ethanol production. Sure whatever except that corn is a highly domesticated plant - without people its just gonna be grass again. Corn needs people to be corn. Anyway, it turns out there are people, but it is another supergenius scientist and he's got basically a modern farm set up and like. That's not the best way to corn. Anyway. There is a lot about that show that stretches my suspension of disbelief but the two things that have really got me were a: pottery and b: corn. oh maybe also glass... anyway. It is mostly fun. But corn.
That is not what I was going to rant about, but I ran out of brain (can you tell) and I will maybe save it - but the tl;dr version is that listening to The Serviceberry has helped me articulate to myself a bit better why I am not really comfortable with the whole 'paid GM' thing in gaming - it just changes the relationship too significantly for me. Keep the hustle out of your hobbies. Game with people whose participation and presence reward your efforts. But mostly if you are gonna charge people to play with you don't pretend like you are inviting them into a community. I don't like that - it feels predatory, especially when you are targeting queer groups. Even if you are yourself part of *that* community.
...okay maybe I didn't save it but I also don't have brains to edit or make it more coherent. So it is what it is, but I can maybe elaborate more in comments if anyone wants.

Princess Who Should Have Specified "Human" In Rules/Monsters Competing To Win Her Hand
Arabelle thinks she probably should have put a FEW stipulations on the competition for her hand in marriage... but since she didn't she'll just have to make the best of things. Maybe it won't be so bad!
