On the 2nd anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, girls, women, and allies go on strike. Participants do not go to work, do not go to school, and/or do not spend even 1 penny. As our privacy, body autonomy, healthcare, and travel rights are being removed, we remove ourselves for 1 day en masse. We stand together for all Americans to show that the nation needs us.”

HOT HOT TOPICS
– if everyone had an rpg / d&d class in real life, what would yours be, and why? paladin would be my pick. my therapist says I’m a rescuer, and defend my people. but I will choose violence.
– light mode or dark mode
– how interested are you in lost media/internet mysteries, things like what justin whang covers on his youtube channel, like rare songs/parts of songs with no attribution, photos or videos that are from unidentified sources or that show unrecognizable settings, people/artists of note who haven’t been heard from in years, things of legend that haven’t seen the light of day (like “missing episodes” of shows, films/games that were finished but unreleased, etc)?
– have you ever lost something and found it much much later? inspired by the garmin gps that got lost for over 10 years
– for whatever reason, you’re the proud owner of the mystery machine. out of the actors you’ve picked for the podcast movie reviews, who’s in your scooby gang? (in true rahaca fashion, sam rockwell is obviously included by default.)
– do you prefer the poirot-style whodunnit or the columbo-style howcatchem?

Mind Your Own Business

QUICK HITS
caleb had many hot sauces. twinstrumental wanted coke. mari wanted cottage cheese and mustard. rafe delivered. there were some great topics and as always, lovely people in chat. it was a fantastic 450th celebration! Here’s to DOUBLE THAT.

HIGH LOWS
rafe’s high-low
high: friends and family
low: six pounds

caleb’s high-low
high: bro time with army buddy
low: emotional wrecked

HOT HOT TOPICS
– if you want us to mind our own goddamn business, why are you asking the question?
– are there people in your life who only refer to you by your last name—either mr., ms., miss, mx. or by only your last name. I assume that since caleb was in the military, this would happen more with him, but I could be wrong.
– is there such a thing as owning too many dildos or is that none of my business?
– why are the people who want all the goss and don’t mind their own business just the worst?
– I’m from a generation where people kept many of their problems to themselves. one good thing with the covid pandemic was that mental illness and treatment of such was brought to the forefront. one thing that isn’t talked about a lot is eating disorders, specifically in men. as someone who has an eating disorder, I rarely—if ever—hear other men talking about this type of problem. what are your thoughts on this topic?
– when do you step in and stop minding your own business? mine would be anytime I see someone being treated with disrespect or hurt that can’t speak for themselves…. where’s the line?
– I got an award for doing too much at work. it includes even more work. why can’t the administration just mind their own gawddamn business and leave me alone?!? or at least give me a cash award?

– how long should I wait before exercising my right as a historian to speak ill of the dead? ’cause there’s a lot of dead I’m itching to speak ill of.
– what do you consider “living your best life” and why is it “in line at mod pizza in pajama pants waiting to order because the drive thru you went to was no longer accepting cards and you’re not going home without food”
– what do you do if you’re a part of a multi-team effort that doesn’t go well, multiple teams are clearly at fault, and you own up to your team’s part of the fault, but the other teams refuse to take responsibility for their misses? is it burn down the building? because it’s starting to look like a viable solution.
– positive affirmations from a random stranger increase my mood/productivity. positive affirmations from my supervisor make me want to kick his teeth in.
– airplanes not being wheelchair accessible is absolute bullshit. someone fix this shit, this bitch has travel needs
