To be honest I'm posting here still on that walk and I honestly did not pay terrible much attention on where I am right now, also it's late and night here, so I hope I find my way back home some day. For now, still enjoying the walk to where ever!

Get home safe and sound, friend.

Made it home safe and sound!! Found a rent-a-bike on my way and turned this four hour walk into a 20 minute bike trip during the night, while whistling with the birds which was a great experience

Apparently 4am is a great time to ride a bike!

I find that really awesome, I have a similar painting that you might not like to look over your sleeping body, too, but I just placed it towards a bookshelf so that I can read with it, but not have to sleep with it.

Thank you for taking care, I couldn't have made it without your energy helping me find the way back!
But there really is, next time I need to remember that my phone has GPS two hours before stubbornly walking in one direction, not even realizing that the street stopped and turned into woods

Safety Confirmation Information: got too high to even post in the in too high to post in byob thread and got lost in the living room for a while. Got lost in my living room for a while, but all good now. Time to continue my sleep shift after getting too high to post again, since there animals are all fed and happy for now.


Goons Are Gifts

Very glad to hear you are also safe and sound, hamjobs. Your babbies need you!


Goons Are Gifts

OK so it's very stormy here and when taking out the trash the wind crashed me towards the wall and then I almost fell on my nose due to it being very strong.

Nevertheless, I think this going to be an amazing day! Stay safe and sound everyone and enjoy your start of the week!

apparently there was a big welsh contingent of Friends (aka quakers) who followed william penn there



ty manifisto

oh btw for anyone who didn't grow up among them, the real name for the quakers is the Society of Friends which is pretty byob

quaker was a derogatory term for them (pacifists, derided as "quaking" with fear) although nowadays they don't really mind it

it was Very Funny to some people at school that we use the Welsh word "cym" (pronounced "cum") to mean a mountainous depression at the top of a glaciated valley or something.

Now my mountainous depression has nothing to do with cum

Maybe it's the lack thereof

The Friends are a neat society, they let women have political sway before any other Americans basically, and their town hall system is surprisingly advanced. They're great cooks and bakers too.

I want to make a Western about a Quaker homesteader family in the continental divide right before the gold rush, like 1842-47ish. Those people went through hell surviving up here by themselves, maintaining a philosophy of peace and charity during it is even more badass.

Big fan of the Society of Friends over here because they not only tolerate my weird pagan beliefs, they accept me warmly and let me be extremely queer and pagan and let me sing No Need to Argue as a hymn.


BoldFrankensteinMir


Very cool. I'm a fan of "A Joy to be Simple", as was Copeland apparently. A very BYOB diddy.

...Quaker songbook thread?

I liked the society of friends ok before sam hyde turned all weird and became a white power icon, he was always an rear end in a top hat jerk but he was at least kind of funny before that started

Yeah, it should also be mentioned the most prominent Quaker of all time was Richard Nixon. No group is without troublemakers.

Everyone should read up on John Woolman, too. Dude was awesome.

Oh no it's finally happening, we're in Tuesday's event horizon...

is the lead-up to Christmas an advent horizon?

Oh wow, thank you for suggesting this, Woolman is indeed an awesome dude. I forget what a minority abolitionists were for so long, it took a lot of guts to stand up against slavery while most of the country associated it with progress and religious duty.

Active in the 1770's, that makes him a vocal peer of John Adams, dang.

the advent horizon is the point at which money and time cannot escape the pull of christmas. this used to be around december 20th but as christmas has continued to conspicuously consume over the years it has crept further forward and is now well into october

you can see the moneytime distortion as you approach the advent horizon, primarily a change in the ambient music of supermarkets in late august

Really recommend The Beautiful Soul of John Woolman, as well as his diary.

BoldFrankensteinMir


Wow, his journal is the second longest published book in American history after the Bible? And it's the life story of a guy who willingly abstained from riding in carriages or wearing dyed cloth? Yeah, I'm definitely in.
