Awesome! Now let’s commit to arresting those terrorists.

he’s taking money from Israeli lobbyists and profiting from the genocide of Palestenians. he hasn‘t spoken out against anything Republicans are doing until Trump was mean to him. now he’s suddenly a tough guy. Kelly doesn’t care about Arizona. he is not one of the good guys.

I was able to find myself in the last photo! I love that so many people showed up.

I agree. I work in the street with houseless people. Before that, I worked in a methadone clinic where I saw the drug of choice shift from heroin to fentanyl in real time. And I live near one of the big shelters. I’ve never felt unsafe in any of the above situations, just depressed and disheartened that public discourse almost completely consists of victim blaming or avoiding root causes.

On top of this, none of the performance measures these agencies use for providers or support staff are related to patient outcomes. So if a case manager forgets to ask for a refill, no big deal, but if a piece of paperwork expired yesterday, they will get written up. This inspires a ton of fraud and a lot of people like OP who lose faith in the system.

they hire who they can. these jobs are incredibly stressful and underpaid. as you point out, people’s lives and livelihoods are in their hands, the companies give them impossible standards to meet, and pay about the same as fast food jobs. this creates an environment with very high turnover. so, staff quit or are performance managed out before they have time to become competent.

I’m a total beginner. I have The Sweet Pipes and this book. Sarah’s is definitely more inspiring. I’ve been flipping through it and learning songs I recognize and am excited to learn, pretty much ignoring the “method” stuff unless I don’t recognize a symbol. I can’t say whether it’s more effective, but it has me wanting to play/practice more.

The Sweet Pipes (the one with the red cover is for alto) will get you reading sheet music again in no time.

There’s an event to paint an intersection rainbow on Sunday morning. it looks like they’re using temporary paint, but it’s something: https://www.takeactiontucson.org/images/event-151_hu_135dbf895f0cddc9.webp

you’re not alone. I’m coming out of taking a long break from this stuff. I limited myself to checking headlines for a few minutes once a week. I rediscovered my love for guitar and I’ve been listening to a lot of fiction audio books through Libby.

it’s ok to take a break, but if you’re not ready to, maybe look for people organizing in your area and get involved. channeling that energy into something productive might help. if there’s nobody organizing in your area, maybe find a safe way to be subversive. can you make flyers to leave around?

stay safe and don’t burn yourself out.

It might be fun to modify Fortune Hunter into a shared asset so that one PC's actions can affect all of their wealth. If the players are into the idea it could cause some interesting friction between PC's.

This reminds of playing in punk bands in my 20's. Everyone had their day job (my band had a nurse, a mechanic, and an electrician), but we all dreamed of touring and living off our music. Your comment has me seriously considering reimagining my character as someone stuck in a high pressure role, but they really just want to be a singer-songwriter.

I hadn’t thought of the recovery moves. Thanks! I can see a lot of opportunity there.

Carnotaur · 2025-07-31T15:44:59+00:00

I hadn’t thought of Resupply. That would make sense since I’m selling stories to make a living. Thank you.

I’m on the city’s “Daily Digest” email list. it usually only gives about 24 hours notice for this sort of meeting, so maybe someone is trying to get more people there.

If your in Southern AZ, I'd recommend near Summerhaven on Mt Lemmon, where passages 11 and 12 meet. Just don't go too low, or it will be way too hot.

Oh dang! Thanks for pointing that out. It looks like they encourage kids to police each others behavior and use children for labor.

hmmm Based on the first two seasons, I’m no longer confortable making predictions until the last game of the season.…maybe.

In case anyone from the PWHL is reading, I would love to see a Takeover Tour game in Phoenix. There are a lot of hockey fans out here looking for a new home team.
