If anyone knows how to make YouTube videos not randomly crank up the screen brightness to max and give me a massive headache, pls lmk. Google says turning off auto-brightness does it but that has literally never been on on my phone so that ain’t it.

Me for the last hour: why is my head pounding it rained already today and I’ve had a stupid amount of water. It suddenly out of nowhere started pouring.

Boat got stuck 2, in my city.

I finished the yoke of my sweater. No photos tonight cuz I wish for eep but tomorrow I can move on to the German short rows which is another exciting new technique to teach myself.

I used to make and sell candles. Had a few people BEG for pumpkin scented candles. I said no because I hate the scent of artificial pumpkin AND because I didn’t think they would sell. I made 8. Three months later, had 6 left. So yes, make wtf YOU want. Your real audience WILL find you.

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Let your players compete in the Annual Baldur's Gate Scavenger Hunt. See if they have what it takes to kill the biggest monster, get marked by a poison merchant, or steal an ever-smoking stone from Felogyr's Fireworks. site.dmsguild.com/product/5444...

The federal budget in Canada is reviving the myth that immigrants are taking your jobs and making housing more expensive/harder to find. The 1% always hoards resources. They raise rent because they can, and lay you off to “invest in AI” or due to US trade issues. The system benefits them, not you.

I was happily enjoying my knitting and trashy tv and my body decided to be an absolute dick and cause immense pain cuz it’s gonna rain tomorrow and I think that’s rude af

A month ago, Ontario’s Auditor General told Doug Ford’s government to create a public, accountable climate plan with emissions-reduction targets — as courts have also ordered. Today, the government’s fall economic statement eliminates all legal obligation to do so. #onpoli

Alberta is invoking a rarely-used provision to override Canada's Constitution, most recently used by Saskatchewan, also for anti-trans legislation

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

Finally got past row 21 in this sweater yoke. There’s less contrast than I’d prefer between the green and the white but up close it’s really nice.

The union is calling on people to boycott btw!!

(explaining an american car to a european) yeah so imagine if you were sitting in the back seat while driving,

Guess who can hold a dead hang for like 3 seconds now! I know that’s not super impressive but it’s 3 seconds longer than the last time I tried so it’s kinda a big deal. I think I could do longer if I had my climbing chalk but that’s messy. The bar grips at my gym are weirdly smooth and slippery.

Tomas' Bard subclass was supes fun to delve into - dual identities with all various powers of the moon depending on the phase!!

I had the pleasure of working with amazing writers on A Night Out in Baldur's Gate. You can't miss the chaotic scavenger hunt, local delicacies, a brand new bard subclass, nor the special, though criminal-y, NPCs. Check it out at site.dmsguild.com/product/5444...

High fantasy, but make it Bronze Age with flying fish 🐠🏛️🏺

Morgan actually developed the Scavenger Hunt for this project (which most everything centers around!) It was super fun thinkin' about fun encounters that could get messy and silly and drunk all in the name of POINTS!

Did a photo study and made it Scout Harding because we all need to appreciate her more thanks [ #jasperdraws #veilguard #laceharding #artstudy ]

hahaha jk jk... unless?

I was so excited to get to work with Celeste again. She's a great editor and a ton of fun to work with.

In A Night Out in Baldur's Gate I was in charge of creating an interesting NPC you could find while going through the many activities the product has to offer Augustus Bloyd is the perfect NPC to both give quests to players and to get them into a lot of trouble 💀 site.dmsguild.com/product/5444...

Hello gamers I'm opening *emergency* graphic design commissions, to help me keep my healthcare due this friday. Flexible pricing, I'll do: -Title typography -Iconography -flyers Looking forl ow effort/stress (ie not suited for short turnarounds and big expectations), great for mockups and prototypes

A Night Out in Baldur’s Gate was also written by @quigjam.bsky.social, @tgimenezrgm.itch.io, and @enniogoes.bsky.social

Koa wrote some really fun poisons that I’m excited to use in my Waterdeep campaign and some excellent encounters for the scavenger hunt. See if your players can fix the Elfsong ghost’s voice or intercept a delivery of overpowered fireworks.

I love getting to work with Tomas on projects. He always writes something really fun. I really want to play his College of the Moon Justicar subclass. I'm gonna need someone to run me a game so I can.

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

I frogged it to where the colour work starts and I think I finally have the tension correct now. The colours are still puffy looking but while both yarns say they’re worsted (4), the colourful yarn is thicker. I’m ok with that.

As I once explained in my LiveJournal days: * a 32-page Pathfinder adventure has 20,000 words. * a 99.9% typo-free 32-page adventure would have 20 typos. * that’s a typo every 1.5 pages. * reducing that would delay every book a significant amount.

Accidentally fell back asleep after my alarm went off this morning and now it’s nearly noon so that’s not ideal. Oops.

This is attempt no 2 of starting this sweater. Attempt no 1 my floats were too tight. This attempt I think they’re too loose in the first 15 rows (of the 21 I’ve done). I’m debating frogging it again and starting a third time now that I think I found the right tension.

N95s can prevent more than just Covid! They stop colds, flus and other airborne illness. They’re also highly effective against pollen, pollution, wildfire smoke and environmental triggers. Many maskers haven’t been sick in years. Respirators are pretty amazing.

Final 72 hours!! We've unlocked new scenarios, a whole new chapter, new player options, a ton of new monsters, and more! We've still got two more stretch goals to hit. Saddle up and join us for the ride, pardner!

I still have a ton of work to do to ready my balcony for winter (and make spring setup less brutal) but I at least got most of the indoor stuff back indoors and the garden is cut back. I can worry about sweeping and scrubbing and fertilizing another day. Rn I get to go see a friend.

I'm back on my historical costuming bullshit and have decided that I have plenty of double wide flannel interlining I can make a second warm petticoat from if needed so I can do linen or synthetic instead of wool for the skirt and probably not freeze while skating in it if it's above -5.

My dnd group reached my favourite part of Waterdeep Dragon Heist: the dwarf dungeon. The party dwarf unfortunately is having a terrible time. He opened the wrong puzzle door and lost all the hair on his body. He's truly devastated and knows what he's going to spend the treasure on.

Exciting package day. I’ve decided instead of the handsome Chris sweater I started, I could make two fair isle sweaters if I got a contrasting colour with the same cream yarn. So I got the BC orchard pack from Midknit Cravings. The colours are stunning and the wool is so soft.

The biggest thing you need to protect yourself from on Halloween is automobiles and it’s not particularly close
