I've done my time being defensive and doing the "if I just keep posting through it everyone will see I was ACTUALLY right" thing - mostly elsewhere - and, yeah, it's not great. We all fuck up, intentionally or otherwise, and in my experience it's better to own it, apologize, and try to do better.

In case folks don't know, you don't actually have to yeet windows 10 for shitty 11 this month. Pass it on! And comments off bc this is not an invitation to rec linux

I genuinely don’t understand how ppl run d&d modules. In my mind, it’s a radically different skill set than running an adventure that only exists in your head. And it’s a skill set I don’t have 😅

(ps. Here's the data if you don't believe me. The median small family farmer in the US is a millionaire with a 6-figure income. Yes, after you take out farm debts & expenses.)

Thank you for the tag!!! Hi All! I'm Allie. I'm a fantasy artist. I paint dragons and strong women. I also work in the ttrpg industry making illustrations and characters for games!

With my finger on the Sprite button, I hope that people like it "enough to maybe buy one print or subscribe to my Patreon so I can keep drawing for me and my own fulfillment" for a bit longer.

oh its the thing everyone said was going to happen when this got brought in and it immediately happened

It's #Spacetober so I'll try to keep it coming with Amy Rae Hill's Greatest Hits™️

Important PSA! Charcoal is a natural absorbent. Unfortunately it's quite liberal when it comes to WHAT it absorbs, meaning: it absorbs ANYTHING that goes into your stomach and gut. That includes all the active substances from ANY kind of medication you take (incl. contraceptives, vitamins et al).

Imagine you're in a well-paying corporate job with benefits, and 43% of your work is worthless and has to be redone. The future!

You can't put this genie back in the bottle...

just remember: if you need a nice escapist fantasy that is accidentally kinda a relevant tech dystopia, but it's mostly about badass ladies with superpowers stabbing the rich shitheads who won't leave them alone so they can build a library, check out our Mercenary Librarians series from Tor!

people say "Nobody will stand up to 'protect the kids' type surveillance laws cuz the optics of voting against bills that target CSAM would be too negative" but then you hear about GOP legislators voting against bills that would outlaw child marriage to absolutely zero reputation damage like? ???

THANKS FOR SUBSCRIBING! YOU HAVE JOINED A VIBRANT GLOBAL COMMUNITY-- Buddy, I gave you my email so I could buy concert tickets. The only community I have joined is the one that would unite to topple your predatory business model in a 90s movie by holding a dance-off at the community center.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

This list of variations on cobbler reads like someone was brainstorming the worst insults they could think of for a coworker

People WILL refuse to vote for a party that persecutes trans people, cuts social security, scapegoats immigrants and supports genocide. If your response to that is 'nooo, they're voting wrong, they'll let the REAL bad guys win' rather than 'let's make sure they don't have to', YOU are the problem.

Got my performance review.

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

Yo man I am sorry that the anonymity of fanfic allowed a number of authors of color who you do not personally approve of to attract large audiences of white women. I mean I’m not. But I’m sorry it upset you into writing an unsourced internet essay about it.

The Kimmel thing is a small victory, but it is still a victory. So naturally all the usual scolds are out to tell us about the battles we're forgetting or clearly don't care about, and how dare we celebrate as if the war is won? Ugh, fuck OFFFFF. No wonder it's so easy to fall into doomerism.

Happy Hobbit Day to all who celebrate! Have a second breakfast, lembas bread and potatoes but also, love your friends and be there for your community. And remember that there's some good in this world and it's worth fighting for.

Daily bunny no.3079 is sworn to secrecy

Idk man, when I was in middle school we did a walk-out to protest a massive budget cut and only the kids who signed up got detention because they couldn't "prove" who all was there, seems embarrassing to admit you have less opsec than some 14-year-old goths?

Some more fall vibes from the Mouse Guard Alphabet Book, this time featuring Lieam and Rand. Watercolour, acryla gouache and some digital touchups

Tommy Tuberville, arguably the dumbest senator to ever be elected, figured out how to hold up hundreds of military promotions for almost a year because he had a tantrum about abortion. Dems need to treat this like the emergency it is and use the tools that normal citizens don’t have.

no no no you misunderstood. I said “fuck YOUR feelings”. MY feelings are very important and must be handled gently, like a tiny baby hummingbird

Tonight's D&D session: Half the party had a combat-heavy night fending devils off the other half of the party, who (both in- and out-of-character) *completely* ignored the combat because they were too engrossed in trying to codebreak the puzzle lock of a bank vault 😂

Adding works slowly to my website. Like the snail in this painting “The Pembrokeshire Icon” I go slowly & reluctantly to my computer, cursing all the way. I want to run to the woods with my sketchbook and draw acorns and the autumn leaves.

I meant this quite literally. I'm muting his name and this will probably be my last post on the subject. I'm not doing it to deny them ammo--they don't need ammo. The will make it from scratch every time. I'm doing it because my time is precious & I can't accomplish anything thinking about him.

Literally begging you to post about Just Some Stuff. We will see the news I absolutely promise. Twenty people will repost the same exact thing about the news. Only you can post about a turtle you saw
