Time machines / by Carol Cunningham.

This little book is about clocks (aka machines for telling time) and not, as I first thought, about machines for traveling through time!

It includes a brief history of keeping track of time, starting with the position of the sun.

Can this book help you from losing track of the days at the beginning of the new semester? Probably not, but there are some lovely examples of time telling devices!

^It's always snack time when the cat is in charge of the clock!

drives me up a wall living in a very very red district, like “no democrat is ever going to win any local election, let alone a real leftist” district, like “our school board members ran on who was the most anti-mask” red, like “I pass white supremacist signs on the way to buy weed” red

and being in the local leftist community and the guy who runs the anarchist book club and the lady who helps keep the warming shelters open and the people who marched on city hall when a local business was getting death threats for having a drag show are all members of a discord and we get on this discord and have frank discussions about how best to vote

the people who do the protests and the mutual aid and all the real work

going “okay, they’re both fascists, but this one lacks ambition and seems happy to just glide in the position” or “they both suck, but this one can be reasoned with if you frame it patriotically enough” like we don’t even have a democrat to vote for. we know what a vote is. we know what we hope accomplish with it. we know what it can do, and we know what it can’t.

and going from those discussions to here where people think that your vote is some kind of fucking??? enabling maneuver??? as if someone isn’t going to end up in that seat regardless of what you do???

we didn’t build this system, we just live in it. we’re just trying to survive. a vote isn’t a statement of your values, it’s not an endorsement, it’s not a marriage contract, it’s a strategic play you make to keep alive.

the biggest mistake I see leftists making is overestimating their own popularity. “well but everyone would be leftist if they just-“ no, stop, 1) you can’t possibly know that 2) everyone will not just

Did you know that I've seen Bill Frisell in concert at least 30 times, in three countries, since the first time I saw him in Portland, OR? 😲He has a new album called Four 4️⃣. His music calms and inspires me; Mitch plays him when I'm frantic or stressed.👏 I saved this thought about how we lose time to absorb as our lives become fuller. #knitweardesigner #inspiration #jazz #jillleavesthehouse #knitspiration #musicinspireslife #knittinginspires #timemachines #knitters #whatinspiresyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUh7hOrmn1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Play on, my friends, play on!

What does a musical score do for you?

There are specific musical scores that when I hear them, I’m transported, not just to the movie, but to the particular time in my life when I saw it. Musical scores are an entire flashback-evoking time machine! I remember within a milli-second of hearing the Main Title of Star Wars: A New Hope, where I was the first time I saw the movie, and I was a toddler! My Uncle had the film in a can and a…

Despite being a commercial failure, the DMC Delorean remains one of the most iconic cars in history, thanks in no small part to a certain time-travelling doctor.

the current electoral system is an unfairly weighted corrupt mess that will not save us, but

abstaining from voting does nothing to destabilize or replace it

participation can reduce harm and be strategically applied to your larger more revolutionary goals

(plus following electoral politics just keeps you aware of what specifically to expect from The Powers you oppose)

there is no materially revolutionary argument against voting if you are at all able.

The 10 Baby Challenge

This challenge serves as a sort of combination of the 100 baby challenge and the Supersim challenge. It requires the use of MCCC.

Lifespans can be set to short or normal, but not long. Seasons can be whatever length you like.

Your sim is a young adult with the Serial Romantic aspiration to start. At the beginning this is your only aspiration, but after you complete it you are free to jump around back and forth mid-aspiration at your whim.

You’ll be doing a lot of aspirations on this sim because they could theoretically live forever.

All other sims will age as they would normally, except for your sim. Use MCCC to flag them to never age. It is up to you whether to also flag them as immortal, or whether to play the challenge on dangerous mode (I like to live dangerously).

Your sim can become pregnant, but almost as if to protect the species from their longevity causing too much homogenizing of the gene pool, they have reduced fertility. Set “risky woohoo” to 2%. You can also set “try for baby” to 2% if you like, or you can just make sure to never use that interaction with your sim.

After they complete the serial romantic aspiration, they can invite their partner(s) and any future partners and anyone else they’d like to live with them, and they can even get married, but they don’t usually bother unless someone really strikes their fancy. AND - there always has to be room in the house for a possible baby. So the house can have 1-6 other slots taken up by who/whatever you want. A pet. A servo. A kid. A multi-generational house. A harem anime plot. But always room for a baby. And of course your sim is always free to live alone.

All of their woohoo partners have a risk of getting them pregnant. You can decide whether you want to do this through MCCC or cas.fulleditmode

The point isn’t to get to 10 babies as fast as you absolutely can. That would get very tedious very fast.

The point is too see how many skills/aspirations/careers/degrees/groups/features, especially those you don’t usually play, you can finish before the tenth baby is born.

Your sim has other things they want in life. They don’t use contraception because their fertility is already so low, but they love a roll in the sack. Or shower. Or rocketship. Or dumpster.

Your sim isn’t family oriented. They might or might not hate children; that part is up to you. They are not loyal. I would play a doting fae who desperately wants children she can rarely conceive, but you could play an impartial god who barely cares her children exist, or a negligent hedonist, or whatever. It’s your game. The point is: the babies serve as a stopwatch, not a scoring device, though your sim does have to raise them to young adulthood without dying.

Your sim is romantic. So there are certain times your sim is always going to want to woohoo. If one of their romantic interests invites them out to a festival or on a date, they are going to want to go, and they are going to want to woohoo. If they get want to kiss/woohoo/go on a date with/or get engaged to a specific sim, your sim wants to woohoo. Your sim is going to woohoo like a bunny, even when you kind of just want to keep building robots.

Speaking of robots… and scientists… you may set it so your sim can become pregnant through alien abduction, but unless you dramatically lower the rate of abduction pregnancies or abductions, only the babies from the first two alien pregnancies count toward the ten baby total. This is especially true if your sim joins the scientist career.

No cheating motives, aspirations, careers, etc. And obviously no cheating pregnancies. Your sim only conceives naturally. (They are free to adopt children, but they do not count to the total.) Game exploits that do not require cheating are allowed, however, like using trait points. It is up to whether you want to play extra challenge mode with no fertility traits/buffs or make it through a little quicker by upping your odds.

Just kidding, cheat whatever you want. It’s your game!

After the final baby is born, you can post your sim’s final family tree and info panel showing what skills and traits they’ve got, etc. But more importantly than that, in the long gaps between babies, you can try doing stuff you don’t usually do in the game. Master DJing, or bring a ghost back from the dead, or join a weird career, or whatever. Finish collections you never bother collecting or take up hobbies you never give your sims.

Note that I haven’t playtested this, so it might be wildly unbalanced. I have no idea how long getting to ten babies with this method would actually take in game and whether it’s way too long or way too short. If risky woohoo percents need to be raised a bit, or baby count needs to be lowered, or whatever, do that to make it fun!

Especially at the end would be fun to check the sims stats panel that shows how many times they woohoo’d. We could do an entirely RNG based speedrun - who can get the best woohoo to baby ratio? Who gets the worst? It’s like shiny hunting. And since lovers keep dying off, you’ll have to keep romancing new sims to keep playing.
