So. Bent over to look at some spices on the bottom shelves, stood back up (or should I say I TRIED to stand back up?) and continued the other direction. Until I sat down, thankfully instead of fell down. Wasn't just lightheaded though but near insensate for 5-10 seconds. Dafuq?

I NEED YOUR HELP! But first, go get your free book: mybook.to/insolitudess... Yes, In Solitude's Shadow is free! And the rest of the series is on sale. It's super cheap 🙌 But the help, you say? Please share this far and wide! Neurodivergent, queer, middle-aged characters. Sweeping scope. Go!!!

What's the line from Martin Niemöller's poem? Guess it's time "they're coming after me". Color me shocked. Quack motherfuckers. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

some blue marlin curry. Everything but the peanut butter in the sauce was from scratch, but It's a 0 sodium peanut butter. Followed by Tart Mango Yogurt for dessert. Under 500 mg of Sodium, the peanut butter and coconut milk are a bit calorie dense, but not enough to matter in moderation.

New video is out! Guards are a staple of fantasy, but who are their historical counterparts and how can that help us build better fantasy worlds? #Fantasy #History youtu.be/JEdwhQwskmI?...

Day 11, post "near death" Tuesday I have a follow up appointment with my Cardiologist, hopefully will have more insight on my CT Calcium Scan and Neurologist appointments then. For now, just one foot in front of the other, tryign to recoup, and pays the blood bills. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Moral support, Tribble style.

hey, @michaelastackpole.bsky.social have a minor battletech writing curiosity question for you. Are details like Mechs & such for established characters, left up to you, handed down from above, or what? Like Takashi Kurita shifting from a Battlemaster in Wolves to a Grand Dragon in Blood Legacy?

What is Dad playing? Alabama, Reba, Linda Ronstadt, Marty Robbins, Kentucky Headhunters, Travelling Wilburys, Roy Orbison, the Judds, Garth Brooks, George Strait, the Oak Ridge Boys, Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Shenandoah, etc. At least it wasn't Bro Country? and way too much Rush Limbaugh.

Hey Mr "Holy" Paladin Man... Is that your sword, or are you just happy to see me?

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

Post Near Death Day..9? Dunno if just feeling bad, storm messed with my sleep, but still forced myself to do my morning walk, though felt like I had been hit by a bus by then end. Still banging the drum for medical bill help, cuz, well, what option do I got? ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Went to Sam's yesterday looking for some low sodium foods to add to my larder. Failed miserably, but did find these stackable cases for $15, which let me finally sort & store my minis in a dust/lint/hair free way, and to dispose of this wall of boxes. But took me all afternoon. Kitty still tired.

It’s never been more important for scientists to break out of the ivory tower and engage with the public! Social media tools make it easier than ever before in human history to do that, but far too many people misuse these tools, leading to wasted effort. I can help! Class info below.

Still just trying to work my way back to "normal" whatever that is, now, and not end p back in the ER. Still a long ways to go before I will be able to work again, unless one of these doctors has a sudden epiphany to the "why". ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

As a life long fan of all things Alien, Blade Runner, Cyberpunk and Shadow run, I'm loving every aspect of Alien: Earth. I was dubious when the timeline was announced, but that's largely been assuaged (barring total pooching the landing in ep8). Also can Tim Oliphant do no wrong? (Besides Hitman)

Mechwarrior 2? Overrated. Let me note. Overrated doesn't equal "bad". Except for people who seem to make a brand/item into their identity. For it's time the series was GREAT. But anyone who tries to say it's remotely as replayable as MW4 or even MW3 for the masses? Is wearing Nostalgia Goggles.

OK, this is legit cool... though being Lego probably one of the more expensive builds one could choose! 😂 youtube.com/shorts/2U5XB...

The current bills are sitting at $6900 & I have a CT/Calcium Test upcoming, as well as an initial w/ a Neurologist to see if we can figure what is triggering it. So the pile keeps growing. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

What are your top 5 favorite Robert Redford films? So many to choose from something will get left out in the rain. I think, ATM? - Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid - The Sting - A Bridge too Far - Sneakers - Spy Game watched Sneakers again last night. Such a fun caper film. You?

my hands got bored watching a Dr Who marathon back in 2015....

thanks to a Shadow Donor direct to PayPal, can add another 10% to this. Tho current bills are sitting at $6900 & I have a CT/Calcium Test upcoming, as well as an initial w/ a Neurologist to see if we can figure what is triggering it. So the pile keeps growing. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

Facts I guess it's only "Dark Humor", if it's punching down. Otherwise it's just "Sparkling Shade".

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

Damn. Flat on my back. Doc wants me to walk 30-45 minutes 5 days a week, which I usually do at least 3-4, anyhow, before all this. First time since my emergency, and damn. Haven't felt this week since my first bout w/ COVID. Drinking cool water, eating my choco-nana instant oats & feeling wiped.

A worthy cause! As a diver, spearo and conservationist, I love sharks and they are vital to maintaining a healthy ecosystem. And they are a true privilege to get to witness in the water. my recent turn of bad health leaves me unable to donate, but I can add bandwidth

If you romanticize communism, it tells me you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, any more than the far right fuckwits do, so it's safe to ignore you. Socialism: Scandinavia. Good. Communism: Soviet Union, North Korea. Bad. Deified by fuckwits who've never actually experienced it.

You! Yes, you! Do you have a pile of miniatures that need to be painted? Of course you do, but who has the time? Me! I have the time! You can pay me to paint your miniatures! DM me if interested

I'm super happy to share that the classic Nova by the talented Michael Long aka @vertexnormal is now modded into MechWarrior 5: Clans - with no torso twist of course!

Full backdrop, describing the symptoms to said Doc in the ER, I mentioned the detached feeling reminded me of a couple times I did drugs when I was 18. On Saturday when trying to discharge me he flat out said that I was chasing the high I used to get & he never wanted to see me there again.

still swimming against the tide in unexpected emergency medical bills, and just praying I don't end up back in the ER, again. Got them about 23% covered so far (the bad part being that you can't do payment plans here in MX, the Hospitals demand it before discharge). ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...

50 years after Jaws nearly destroyed Spielberg's career, a new exhibit spotlights the groundbreaking film.

but, like, wait man... do you know how much effort it takes to order the PERFECT pizza? All the different toppings you have to try, then try combos of the different crusts, & like, even picking the right pizzeria? Like bruh, I am absolutely a 3 star Michelin pizza chef! I did the WORK! *repost😬

details on my current medical status. If one can help thank you, but even if one cannot help financially, upping the bandwidth can be a big benefit. 23% covered on the initial estimate of 6500, still far from out of the woods. ko-fi.com/bishopsbeerf...
