Can empathy levels predict whether someone goes into the physical sciences?
And is there a gendered component? Who are we kidding? Of course there is.

Here in his shrine, that they have forgotten. Here do we toil, that we might remember. By night we reclaim, what by day was stolen. Far from ourselves, he grows ever near to us. Our eyes once were blinded, now through him do we see. Our hands once were idle, now through them does he speak.

I tried to collect some of my thoughts and motivation that I wrote about in the other post. #Tolkien was always a role-model for me and his stories and characters are here with me to this day. During some harder or darker periods I always return to them.

#Tolkien doesn’t reject invention, but a particular kind of progress, where industry means extraction, domination, and total exploitation. Reading #Middle-earth through the lens of #Žižek shows a criticism of “progress” by its hidden damage—not its speed.

Inherited a set of dice from a close friend who passed away last summer.
Used those dice in yesterday’s D&D game and rolled 4 crits in a row.
I guess my friend wanted to hang out with us.

We are very saddened to learn of the passing of Camelworks. He did a lot to spread love of The Elder Scrolls and its lore throughout the community, and all of our interactions with him were extremely positive.
Rest in Peace, Camelworks.

More than a year ago I wrote a #shortstory about being the citizen of two worlds. As someone coming from Eastern Europe, I kinda feel lost at times when I am among my Western European peers. For a time, I struggled to put this feeling into words.
