The holidays are here when the llama makes its appearance in the neighborhood.

Adorable hamster maxicard from Belarus.

This game is truly wonderful. Fill out those surveys and maybe pick up another one of their fabulous game titles! Take it from someone who works with @bullypulpithq.bsky.social, they have MANY fabulous #TTRPGs.

Losing a family member is hard enough but to not be able to attend their funeral would be soul-crushing. Donate what you can afford, @jayjustice.net is a wonderful human. Full stop. PS. If funds are too tight, signal boost please. Every bit helps. ko-fi.com/thatjayjusti...

Little things have kept me sane as of late. Brunch was a single perfectly fried egg on multigrain toast. The golden yolk was unctuous and once broken, lazily draped across the surface of the crisp slice of buttered bread. (No bacon though. Still happily living that vegetarian life.)
