For the Gilded Age fans, I really need George and Bertha to be ok. I’m gonna be so mad if Julian Fellowes set them up as this absolute power couple just to rip it out from under us.

If you live in these areas or know someone who does, make sure to contact Senators Blackburn and Hagerty. We can save our hospitals if we all speak up!

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

I kind of love watching old movies with crappy CGI just bc it’s so charming compared to some movies now where everything is computerized

I am Mr Darcy, I fear

Can’t believe the Liberty Kids theme song has the line “feeling the pain as innocence dies” in such a happy little tune.

“nobody saw this coming” = “we considered everyone who saw this coming a nobody”

I’m replaying Origins and let me tell you that if I ever switch from console to PC, the very first mod I’m downloading is to skip the Fade.

GenAI has polluted image search results, especially for animal pics. It’s now basically impossible to find accurate art references. Enter this: a repository of open-access, AI-free images of wild & exotic taxa. Artists creating *without AI* have blanket permission for derivative/transformative use.

🚨 News broke late yesterday that the Administration has ordered that agencies such as HHS, CDC, and FDA no longer issue health advisories, alerts, studies, website updates or other social media posts, and other guidance... 1/

Everyone was shouting about how project 2025 laid out the first 72 hours of the administration changes and rollbacks for regulations, now that's exactly what's happening and everyone who was like "I don't want to get political 😔" is totally blindsided by it. frustrating

Not even a full day into this presidency and I’m already tired

Today and in the coming days, remember

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

It is my sincere belief that, while there are a lot of people to blame for the TikTok ban, we wouldn’t have even had that conversation if Trump had ignored it in his first term.

Just a reminder of some of the context around the TikTok ban: In 2020, Trump tried to ban it via executive order a couple months after K-pop fans used it to organize fake signups to Trump’s Tulsa rally, which led him to publicly overestimate how large the crowd size would be.

The more I play Dragon Age Inquisition, the more I adore Cassandra and Sera

If I had a nickel for everytime I romanced a possessed man who tried to keep me safe from himself, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

Every time I see the fandom dismiss Davrin’s caretaker characterization i legit want to cry because it shows how a large swath of the DA fandom are unaware of how Black men have been portrayed as the deadbeat who do not know care? A mini 🧵

I will die on the hill that in Dragon Age Inquisition, if you get a truce in Wicked Eyes Wicked Hearts, then all 3 of the “rulers” should be at the Temple of Mythal.

For the zodiac folks: my current ttrpg table is made up of 2 Sagittarius, 2 Aries, and 1 Leo. 🔥🔥🔥

Me pitching Blue Eye Samurai: it’s John Wick meets Mamma Mia in a samurai movie

PSA: Please get your COVID booster, but please also remember that COVID vaccines are meant _to keep you out of the hospital if you get COVID_!!!! It doesn’t mean you are immune to getting sick, it means you’re not going to die from it. It’s not measles. Yikes.

On the day of Dr. Fauci's testimony, @nytimes.com decides to run a deeply unethical OpEd with snazzy graphics and snappy headlines about the Lab Leak. The article itself contains multiple falsehoods and deep mischaracterizations. Let's take every point in turn 👇🧵 www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Hoping everyone has an awesome time at PAX this weekend! I can’t wait to see what new games you pick up.

Just had toast with honey and tea for breakfast so when does my house magically transform into a hobbit house?

Taking a professional development exam today! If I pass I get a raise. Everyone wish me luck!

White Queen is off to a great start with the crimped hair, button loops, zipper, and princess seams.

Tonight is for hot chocolate and Kiki’s Delivery Service with my favorite person.

Chamomile Kitty - Botanimal Pet Portrait

Do you like #ttrpg character creation but sometimes get stuck on the backstory? I have just the game for you! I'm currently taking preorders for Session Zero decks (with an all new layout!) in my KoFi shop! Check it out and grab a deck here: (Brand new product photos by @xdragonriderx.bsky.social!)

Having to block a bunch of avatar the last Airbender accounts on Instagram because those comment threads are bad for my health.

I have decided to stop being a chicken and post my Zelda lineages on @dndbeyond.bsky.social I have Gorons, gerudo, sheikah, hylians, rito, and zora. Eventually I will have Kokiri, koroks, and deku. If you want to search mine, my username there is also wittyxwitch.

It’s my balloon day!🎉 As is tradition around here, can I get some shares of my art? Also if you have any pieces you are proud of or want to share, send em below! Thanks everyone 🙌🙌

DragonCon is over and I’m exhausted but am feeling reenergized when it comes to personal ttrpg projects and encouraged on the ones I want to make public.
