RE: https://hachyderm.io/@selfcare/116128464493819080 I feel like I need this reminder this week. I'm at that point in recovering from the burnout where I think I feel better than I really do some days and I push too hard and end up crashing the next day.

New Blog Post: A Quiet RezDay - 18 Years of Second Life On February 14th, I celebrated my 18th RezDay in Second Life. Well, okay, technically, I celebrated the day on February 16th, as I was spending the day with my brother and his family and couldn't get in-world on the day. But, the 14th is […]

This is absolutely terrifying: https://theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-me/ This is the first piece in a series of posts describing the story and falls in with the Ars Technica article that was written by AI a few days ago. Now, I'm not anti-AI the technology itself. I […]

Me: *settles in to go inworld to Second Life and puts the usual ambient rain video on in the background* Also Me: *turns off video because I suddenly realize I don't NEED an ambience video when I have real rain pouring down right outside the window by my desk.* 🤦‍♀️

I'm trying to watch the game. I am. I mean, my Pats are finally back in the Super Bowl without Brady or Belichick. But, OMG who picked those colors this year? The fluorescent green and pink are terrible on my migraine. 🤕 I'm here for the Green Day set, though!

First entry for the #charactercreationchallenge ! These first few are using the #humblewood setting for #dnd5e I'm putting together a humblefolk party. Today's entry is the ringleader, Echo Fabletongue, a vulpin Bard of Road in possession of a quick tongue and an even quicker saucy wink […]

🤔 "What the data does make clear is the broader pattern underlying religious change. People tend to stay when belief, meaning, and positive experience align. They leave when belief fades, institutions disappoint, or religion no longer feels necessary to their moral or spiritual lives. At the […]

Woot! :ablobcatbongo: It's taken some ftp refreshers, a lot of css tweaking and retweaking, but I finally have a bare bones version of my website back up and running! Still a lot of work to do (as given by the to do list on the main page), but there's SOMETHING there again. And, I can start […]

My website is officially live! A big reboot and move from Shopify to now using Squarespace. REALLY pleased with how it looks. I have so much fun stuff planned this year, can't wait to share it! emilyhare.com #websitelaunch #squarespace #membership #painting #watercolour #artist

Okay, yesterday's migraine is on simmer today. So, this morning is devoted to creating characters for the challenge. First setting up: Humblewood. reviewed the book yesterday in spurts and I have a ton of ideas for a party of characters for that setting. Reminding myself I don't want to do 31 […]

When the world starts falling down around you...create something. lol Spent some time revamping the front page for my website during a break in housecleaning. Not live, yet. But, the design is coming along. Need to do some structural work and may be able to do a […] [Original post on dice.camp]

What the hell. Woke up a few minutes ago and put the news on for the current local storm forecast... ... only to find that we've disappeared the leader of a sovereign nation overnight. Who ordered World War 3 for the New Year?

Check out this link for a random German folk tale! https://wiki.sunkencastles.com/wiki/Special:Random/Folk_Tale

Stumbled across this #charactercreationchallenge following a random trail of links this afternoon. Contemplating a late start to this over the weekend. Got a ton of 3rd party D&D settings & other system books laying around I'm not doing much with while focused on the Dragonlance campaign. Would […]

1 hour & 17 minutes until we start a NYE rewatch of the #lotr trilogy (extended editions). We followed the meme several years ago that had the exact time to start watching Two Towers to have Theoden say "so it begins" at the stroke of midnight & decided to do it again this year. If we start […]

Not going to lie. This is my favorite video to watch on Christmas. I love a good fusion piece and this is epic. The Imperial March + Carol of the Bells + The Mandalorian = 🫶 https://youtu.be/EP6EyeyVfus

Dawn this morning, Dec 25th, from Buck Hill! It looks like Santa had a late rally, spreading a little magic across the sky this morning on his ride back north! Merry Christmas and Peace On Earth! #BuckHill #BlueHills #BlueHillsReservation #Boston #BostonWX #BostonMA […] [Original post on c.im]

Rainy walk this morning. Loved the faint reflection of the tree in the clear fresh puddle w/raindrops #LArain #WestCoastKin #stunday #photography

Has anyone had laser eye surgery? How did it go? #pleaseboost

Nope. Not getting up, yet. This is a stay in bed with cozy blankets and a book morning. #larain

All errands are complete. Trash is secured to prevent wind-driven spillage. Weekly grocery delivery will come in an hour or so. A very dear friend has taken all the boxes we have broken down from deliveries to the recycle center for us & found a home for others w/ a local maker who needs them […]

Another #Dragonlance session in the books. The siege of Kalaman has begun. The party has repelled the 1st wave of attackers come to test the defences in the night. They've discovered some of the shape-shifting draconians have infiltrated the Kalaman army. And they've gotten a very unimpressive […]

Prepping for tonight's Dragonlance session in an hour. But saw this and had to share it:

Totally washed out today. Been a lot of days like this since getting let go. Mum says it's my recovery phase. She's probably right. Been pushing through burnout for 2 years. Body's had it. Had a chat over text w/ a good friend yesterday. She was laid off in an earlier round of layoffs 2 years […]

Today's #accountability task list: - Finish clearing up/out my email accounts - Finish budgeting 2026 - Circle back on what's left to settle from my benefits (COBRA, 401-K, life insurance policy) - Check on renewing my passport - finish cleaning up my resume and pass it off for review (Got a […]

While watching a tv show: Main Character 1: **trying to decide on an engagement ring** Main Character 2: If you don't like these, try something else. Nothing says you have to get a diamond. Sales Clerk: They don't say "opals are a girl's best friend". Me: ... ME! I do! Opals are the best […]

Mum and I baked pumpkin quick bread with cranberries and chocolate chips this morning for her office party this afternoon. She's going to pick it up at lunch to take in. But, right now it's cooling on the counter and OMG it smells so good in the house. And I'll have to smell that all morning […]

#Dragonlance #gameprep day! Last session we left off with the flying citadel being spotted in range of Kalaman. So, ur heroes are heading into the last climactic battle of the module. And it's another section that ties in perfectly with the Winter Soldier plotline. (I mean, flying citadel? […]

Been playing around with/tweaking my avatar in #SecondLife to make it closer to what I look like in RL. Will probably switch between this and my usual little elf girl (see my profile pic for an idea of what elf!me looks like). But, I'm finding that some times I […] [Original post on dice.camp]

RE: https://mastodon.social/@AltTextHealthCheck/115601552575124648 Dice.camp is at 68% but we can do better!

::rubs hands together:: It's Sunday, which means #Dragonlance tonight. We're coming up to the end of the module. Then it's pure chaos from there as the players head off into the larger War of the Lance beyond. I've decided that, since I have an abundance of free time now, I am going to put a […]

Last night I had dream that was the perfect #DnD campaign setup. I woke up, thought that I should write it down, decided that Is get my phone in a couple seconds... and promptly went right back to sleep. Do you think I can remember ANYTHING of it this morning? 😟

The irony of these two articles coming up next to each other in my feed reader...

This quote had always struck me as the poignant core of Bucky Barnes. But, it's hitting home to me now personally right now. "If Cap is about pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, Bucky is about finding the strength to pull on the boots to begin with." ~~ Jason Latour to CBR […]

Good gracious! It's been awhile since I had to *call* a government office. I forgot how long it takes to talk to a person. Currently on the phone with Unemployment to find out WHEN I need to register, since I'm still working on the separation agreement and the paperwork with the comapny. After […]

I woke up this morning to the sweetest email from the woman who started as my Project Manager and became a true friend, expressing her loss at waking up to hear the news I was laid off. (She's in India, so she had already gone to bed before it happened.) NOW I might want to cry over this.

It's about frickin' time: https://www.ign.com/articles/chadwick-boseman-to-receive-hollywood-walk-of-fame-star-this-month

Well, I guess that solves the problem of the stressful job. I was told an hour ago that the company is restructuring and they are getting rid of my position. So, today was my last day of work. Of course, there's a whole new and different level of stress waiting to set in as I head into […]
