And I just discovered how much thought I’ve actually put into PCP for the Dune universe.

I’m actually really curious how I’ve managed to put this off for this long.

Shai Hulud is obviously trying to get us both to pay attention to Him. :P

I’m beginning to think so.

Do you know how many people use the Litany Against Fear to help them out in real life? A lot. I’m not surprised at this.

I know of three people, in real life, who do (myself included). It’s a beautiful way to bring focus.

americaengland: Iowa teen missing 15 year old Kathlynn Shepard was abducted by Michael Klunder on Monday, along with a 12 year old who managed to escape and find help. Michael Klunder committed suicide Monday night and Shepard is still missing. Volunteers are searching Hamilton, Boone, and Webster counties for any sign of her. So far they haven’t been able to narrow their focus. I know there probably aren’t a whole lot of Iowans on tumblr, and I’m not sure how much help these kinds of posts actually are, but anyone with information is encouraged to call 515.573.2323 or 911. I don’t know her, nor am I from that part of the state, but I hope that she is found and returned to her family soon.

Now that I’ve thought of a decent foundation for the Dune universe, it’s bed time.

‘Cause I gotsta weigh in on the PCP debate in the morning.

Cicadinae: I know this isn't necessarily true, but I feel really dumb a lot. -

satsekhem:

When I’m so busy comparing myself to other people - scholars, specifically; people with degrees - I forget that I bring something to the table [of Kemetics, of polytheists] too.

So, for everyone who has ever felt this way before?

Just fucking stop it.

Comparing yourself to…

I feel ya. I have no degrees but seem to do passingly well in my Kemetic groups. XD

Comparing yourself to anyone else does nothing for us.

We’re all fucking awesome in our own way.
