The School Paper (Part 3) - Gator Days

The most accurate recreation of DS9 I've seen.

It’s soup season! #art

Look what we have here then.

Whoa! The Cog That Remains is in the top ten of Popular #Mecha #ttrpg on @itch.io right now! Can the Chief Mechanic keep things together long enough for their mecha to charge into the top five before it all comes tumbling down? Maybe being 65% off will help: itch.io/s/160017/the...

51% to the goal that will see some more art being added to The Cog That Remains! The other 'neat thing' that's getting added? An actual play by @leslitgs.bsky.social! Leslie did the same for Lost Among The Starlit Wreckage, and I'm thrilled to have her contribute again! itch.io/s/160017/the...

Whatever you do, please don’t stop reading. Read for joy. Read for education. Read for resistance. Read banned books. Read books by marginalized authors. Read about experiences that differ from your own. Just. Keep. Reading.

The Loremen meet the Map Men. Yes, it's the crossover we can only assume people have been clamouring for! Jay and Mark joined us to share the secrets of the mythical island / clerical error known as Hy-Brasil.

Tiny, colorful baby scallops — a total cuteness overload in one dish! You might think, “This person posts the same creature every year!” But honestly, seeing the same life return year after year is something truly wonderful𓂃🫧‪

I have the Night Light edition of Ray Bradbury's Fever Dream - a favorite of mine. The illustrations have little glow-in-the-dark accents on them. I've almost never actually turned off the lights, because you can see and feel the difference in texture, but look at this. Haunting. Delightful.

Enjoy this goofball mash-up my goofball brain compelled me to do a few years back...

Sister received a One Piece Lego set for her birthday. She opens the box. Mom: What's in there? Sister: ...a piece. Mom: *One* piece.

Awake. Madonna's Like a Prayer and Kristiph's Reindeers are Better than People are just hanging out in my head. On broken loop.

Just finished my run of @cannibalhalfling.bsky.social' The Cog that Remains. Boof. My poor engineer.

do NOT bother her, she is doing her GUNPLA

I have to keep reminding myself that I’ll never know whether or not a problem is solve-able if I don’t even attempt to solve it.

Me, starting an old @beyondthebreakers.bsky.social ep: Ooh! A two-parter! G: You know what else is a two-parter? The Titanic.

How many times will I have to look up the word caldera before I accept that I know what a caldera is?

I enjoyed this. And what an infectious laugh. ❤️ "Reporter left speechless after witnessing Japan's new $70 million Maglev train in action at 310 mph"

If hopelessness has made a home in your heart, it cannot be dislodged easily or all at once. Chip away at it with small victories, moments of hope and defiance. It is not easy and it will take time and effort, but strive to make it an uncomfortable home, a place where despair is no longer welcome.

I get to go (to NY)!

As a millennial there are two things I haven't heard about in a long while: The ozone layer, and second hand smoke. I think it's good to remember those, and know that problems are solvable. It just takes leadership to do so. If any leader tells you it's not possible, they're willingly incompetent.

This was such a fun conversation! youtu.be/S2OfAf9K5A4?...

There is nothing cool or hip about being a Morning Person and often it would be nice to get a bit more sleep but sometimes the position has its benefits.

G: Have you ever sung Fever to the tune of Bagel Bites? Fever in the morning. L: Fever in the evening G: Fever when you hold me tight L: ...are you putting Fever on a bagel?

Made appointments, did dishes, received a random pink flower from he who is my spouse (and whole human in his own right). Pretty solid start. Also, tea!

"People as things, that’s where it starts.” “Oh, I’m sure there are worse crimes—” “But they starts with thinking about people as things…” ― Terry Pratchett, Carpe Jugulum

Every tech update now is like: "Great news, the word processor you've relied on for twenty years has learned to juggle! Is it good at it? No! Does it help in any way? Of course not! Has it made it insufferable to use? Oh, absolutely."

Problematic age gap revealed? Me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social read The Story of Tracy Beaker. Listen to Eleanor & Alasdair Read That now: linktr.ee/readthat

Let the mayhem begin! (Again)

To anyone still shouting that ANDOR “is not STAR WARS” or, conversely, “this is what STAR WARS need to be” - *It is* STAR WARS. STAR WARS has always been capable of that kind of storytelling. But STAR WARS is also not limited to just that type of storytelling. Big galaxy, & there's room for it all.

From Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant by @tangocharlie.bsky.social. "I think I might have sworded that man's brother." This is just the easiest one for me to find. His expressions are phenomenal. Check it out!

I can't say they are wrong, but sometimes I disagree so heartily with the @greatesttrek.com boys' takes...[angry flail] And still. Idiot nerds enjoying each other and their nerddom is favorite.

We'd like to extend a massive hand of thank to @leslitgs.bsky.social for not only voicing the advert in this episode so expertly, but also rewriting the original script to add a lot more pizazz and periodicity to it too! Thank you, lovely one!

We once again welcome you on board the Aurora as we head towards the fascinating albeit desolate Ashen Wastes, retracing the steps of the good Colonel towards the archaeological find of the century! We hope you have brought all you need, as we are leaving civilisation far behind... #ttrpg #starwars

We are human beings in a physical world, try to never go two days without marveling in that, in some small sense pleasure.
