It's finally time.

Smoked a duck for the first time yesterday, and it was absolutely divine.

I took negative zero pictures (including missing one with my BFF) so I forgot to share, whoops. We had the BEST time. So glad to spend a weekend with some of my oldest friends. AND finally got to play Blood on the Clocktower thanks to @notsospeedruns.live!

Back home in Detroit, first TTRPG convention experience with zero anxiety and depression finally in the books, lol.

I'm the only one in my group that got into a Blood on the Clocktower session that filled up in literally a SECOND and now I don't even want to play :( #PaxUnplugged

This is already the best PAX of my life. I just realized my best friend of 15 years - that I haven't seen in forever - was sat a table away from me. We had no idea either of us would be here. I have never sprinted faster for a hug.

Oh, PLEASE feel free to say hi if you see me this weekend! There is no one I wouldn't love to give a hello and a hug to.

Our third Friendsgiving in the books!

HAPPY FOUR SEASONS TOTAL LANDSCAPING DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE

Real talk, I am SO excited to hang out with my friends I'm going to PAXU with, but reading familiar names on the event list puts the biggest pit of anxiety and nausea in my stomach. I keep thinking I'm good - and I am good - but whew, the long-term trauma of it all that just lingers and lingers.

I will be returning to PaxU this year, going with my longest-running D&D group and husband. Some were at my wedding, very excited to meet the rest! Also...honestly a little nervous to likely see everyone in the TTRPG world, but I'll be just fine. Been a very long time now.

Hey now at least Charlie Kirk's daughter doesn't have to be forced to carry a pregnancy to term by her own dad if she was raped.

Diddler on the Roof

A door ripped off my entire toenail 20 minutes before this was taken but I did not cry and we looked great

I am late to the party with Clair Obscur, but I would just like to say, yes, I would fuck Esquie. Yes I understand he is some sort of sentient balloon.

Our group has a cook book club, and for my pick I threw my first dinner party in theme. Cook Beautiful - Athena Calderon I made the grilled plums with pistachio brittle and creme fraiche, and I am very proud.

Never a dull moment at the Welden house.

At this point I truly do not know why I continue to post on social media. I'm retired, I have no reason to. I don't feel like I miss TTRPG Twitter. I haven't even TAKEN a selfie in months, much less shared. What am I doing? Why am I even posting this? Is this my final breakdown lol

Euphoric.

Gonna talk for a second about Nazis, Republicans, DrivethruRPG, that Star Wars game, and more importantly, my grandpa. Bear with me, the edibles are just kicking in. Might be a little thread.

Littlest dumbest babies in the world.

Walls are painted, new rug and coffee table, and the living room is alllmost there. (I need art, fuck.)

Hot take: anyone who says a cop told them never to stop at a red light in Detroit is lying through their ass. And it's racist as fuck.

Boys.

My mathematician husband just gave me a crash course on XOR gates and adders to help explain the scifi book I'm reading. I have never felt so dumb and loved.

I'm extremely late to the party but my GOD Ted Lasso is the most wholesome shit I've ever seen holy fuck

You're a fucking pussy and a traitor.

Lately.

Headed out to a better country this weekend.

Might have taken 30 years but I was always on my way to him.

He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.

Why did nobody tell me everyone in Baldurs Gate 3 is insatiable horny?? I can fuck a bear????

I was at the grocery store and a young man called me his beautiful little milk of magnesia and he was absolutely right.

My first post is live ☺️ open.substack.com/pub/thatadel...

I haven't really figured out what I'll do with it, but I've been itching to share things - books, mainly. Made a substack! thatadelaide.substack.com

Mentality matters. It isn’t about thinking positive thoughts. It’s about not paralyzing ourselves. That’s what cynicism does. If you don’t believe a better world is possible, then it isn’t. People can’t act - from the most radical organizing to the smallest - if they believe nothing is worthwhile.

My husband always asks me what I’m reading and I don’t know how to tell him it’s about an ice skater who fucks a whole hockey team.

Chapter 35.

Hoi An, Vietnam

Moved from Ko Samet up north to Chiang Mai and spent the night at the Elephant Nature Park. Incredible. There’s no other words to express it. Incredible.

Spent several days in Bangkok before heading to a small fishing town and hopping over to Ko Samut for a bit. Headed to Chiang Mai today!

After 24 hours of travel, we have finally made it to Bangkok.

Most of my online friends have moved here and I haven't yet talked about it with my IRL friends. My dad was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia very recently. The life expectancy is about six years, and we don't know how long he's had it. It's just a kick in the gut. I haven't processed it yet.

Sorry I've tried this like 14 times now and bluesky isn't working with me Anyway hi I'm not moving here but please gush over these with me.

Friendship bracelets and fishing with the homies this weekend.

Wish I could share these on Twitter but look how cute I am look

Hi

Not sorry.
