The incedibly mundane and rare ramblings of Benji

 Playing around with my DSLR. Shooting raw and editing in snapseed. I am a big fan of nature photography and I am working on getting back into it.

 So I dropped off the first Join the Party campaign around Bachelorette Party because the concept didn't grab me. I went back to it,  don't know how many years later, but it got very good in the second end of that arc. I want to get back into the second campaign too, but I wanted to finish this one first.  It's an interesting 5th D&D actual play because DM Eric is big on homebrew mechanics and making it interesting. It wasn't the first AP I listened to, but I reckon it is pretty good still.  If you are looking for an actual play in a different kind of fantasy setting I highly recommend.

No Gender December: Abbott criticises bid to end gender stereotypes in toys http://gu.com/p/43nm5 Not just in toys, but in clothes and stuff too. The weight on children to conform to gender stereotypes starts really early. Girls should like certain movies, boys should have certain haircuts. If you don't think this pigeonholing of children affects the diversity of our adults you are fooling yourself.

So, the most hectic thing is nearly done. For a little while at least. No doubt something else crazy will come to take its place. It is good to be so close to the light at the end of this particular tunnel though. I think this is the most phone calls and emails I've ever sent outside of work. Hopefully big announcement Friday. I know you are all waiting I impatiently. All meaning probably no-one, I often feel like this blog is just a meditation to myself. Related, it occurred to me today to put my Twitter on holiday and cut down to just this and instagram until the new year. That could be interesting. If I do it.
