"Hold the line!"
The last barrier has been breached--this morning Laila opened the door to her room, came into our room, and jumped on our bed to wake us up. I was already awake but ![[instagram.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/profile_icons/instagram.png)
sashagee was not, so she was rudely woken by the impact of a forty-pound toddler shouting "Good morning!" At least she came into our room instead of trying to wreck the living room. This is after yesterday, when I was eating breakfast and I heard her trying the handle on her door, and eventually she got it open, came out of her room with a big smile on her face, and said, "Good morning abba!" while giving me a big hug. 
You learn about so many things working on your hobbies. There's a person who's contributed to Cataclysm who's a Brazilian monarchist. I had no idea those even existed, but apparently they're 11% of the population. Anyway, this person keeps wanting to add Brazilian monarchy-themed items to the game, which, whatever, except the game is set in New England. I checked Amazon and while they have Austro-Hungarian monarchist gear and Tzarist Russia monarchist gear, there's nothing about the Empire of Brazil. They ended up catching a warning for repeatedly trying to insert their political beliefs into an inappropriate location. And the thing is, there is a mod for the game (Tropicataclysm) that takes place in Brazil where this sort of thing would be reasonable...at least, I think so, I have no idea how common Brazilian monarchist trucker hats are in Brazil.
We're in the last gasp of summer in Chicago. The high today is 31°C, but from today it's a walk down the country lane into fall. By the end of the weekend the high will be 26°C, and by this time next week the high will be 21°C. I'm looking forward to getting my coats out again.
Alright, back to work.

At that time I was one of those young and ignorant white dudes who thought Libertarianism was a good idea. I asked her her politics, and she said (paraphrasing) "well, there's some interesting things in Libertarianism, I suppose, but I'm a monarchist" which... I was stunned.
But I guess this thing is more common than I realized. I remember hearing about the monarchists in France a few years ago during the Yellow Vest protests.

And of course with the Neoreactionaries gaining power in the US (or trying to), this whole idea is back in vogue in the states as well. Gross.
I'd never heard of Cataclysm, at first I thought you meant the WoW expansion LOL. It's interesting cuz it looks like it's been around a while, and I thought I knew most of the ascii roguelikes, but I guess there's always some niches out there.

Someone's got to make sure the sun keeps rising every morning I guess.
(I'm remembering the short story idea I heard about where the police bust up some Central American kidnapping and murder ring and then after the members are all jailed, the next morning the sun does not rise because the sacrifices to Huitzilopochtli had stopped)

Ah, the worst WoW expansion (because it made me quit. It wasn't as bad as some of the ones that came after). But no, I did a review of Cataclysm a while back. It's a very particular game
