I stopped drawing for a while. No time for it at home, I had to rely on tablets while out at work or out & about. It's been almost a year and I'm trying to get back to it. I switched from drawing on an android tablet to drawing on an ipad, and the difference is night and day.

So my only experience as a DM takes place in the Forgotten Realms. I vaguely knew Greyhawk existed, but I've never seen a game take place there. It's practically an alternate universe. So, to take my players there, I made a "Realmgate." #D&D

Today is just day three of learning how to draw. Today I'm practicing curved lines, and to be honest I kinda like doing these exercises. Adding color wasn't part of the learning exercise, I'm just having a little fun 😊 #art

So at the age of 43, I'm finally starting to learn how to draw and create art. Yesterday was my first day trying and I just worked on simple exercises. They suck, but that's ok. I'm starting at level zero and am building confidence. Let's do a little better tonight. Maybe 3D shapes. #art

Well after some brainstorming and writing, I finished the details on a new D&D villain. He's an artificer who doesn't mess around with evil monologues or grandiose speeches. He just shoots you and moves on.

Who did this?

Every federal worker who loses their job because of Republicans should run for political office. Any and every office, federal state and local. Primary every single politician. And if you can't get them out via primary, become a spoiler candidate to remove them. @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social

JUST IN: The Merit Systems Protection Board, the quasi-judicial agency that hears appeals in federal employee labor disputes, has ordered a stay in the firing of six probationary employees.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

If you're using an Android phone and you're sick of Google pandering to Nazis, I would recommend Fossify apps. They replace a good number of Google apps and work great. They're free, but it's worth paying for. #Google #android

She speaks truth.

No joke, there are Christians in the US claiming empathy is a sin. This isn't an abnormality, this is a mask-off incident. Christianity is not, nor has ever been, a friend to humanity.

This is why I hate democrats. They're clueless, they're incompetent, they're senile, they're lazy, and they're corrupt. This is NOT a resistance party.

The Republican party will destroy so much of the US that by the time 2028 comes around, their entire party is toast. That means it's up to the Democrats to fix literally everything. And if they refuse, then the Democrat party is also toast.

Someone once told me: "I don't understand why anyone would want to be a Satanist." It's because of Christian shit like this that makes me want to be a Satanist. Hail Satan, lets have empathy for everyone suffering.

The Trump administration admitted they're going to flood the news with insanity as a distraction from what they're actually doing. Cable news will fall for it, they always do. But you shouldn't. Ignore the bluster, insults, threats, and theater. Focus on what's actually being done. #dnc #resist

Quick question, who's actually in charge of the Democrat party? Who gives the marching orders and directs their efforts? Hillary? Pelosi? Schumer? Newsom? AOC? Bernie? Fetterman? A Republican? #dnc #resist #democrat

Well, it turns out one of my D&D players is on Bluesky and has seen every villain miniature that I posted. That one's on me. That's my fault. But it's ok. They don't know what context each villain will appear in. #ttrpg #DnD

Omg, I am one nerve away from completely switching from Windows to Linux, and Windows is getting on that last nerve. My work and gaming laptops have all made the switch years ago. My desktop is the only one left still on Windows.

(sniffs book really hard) Ohhhh yeah, that new book smell unleashes all the dopamine. #ttrpg #startrek

For my Gen Alpha D&D players, I've got your Skibidi right here. Careful where you relieve yourself. #ttrpg #dnd

I got this beauty in the mail yesterday. My D&D players have absolutely no interest in trying other games, so I bought this for myself. My job has a lot of downtime AND doesn't allow camera phones onto the shipyard. So a paper book is ideal. #ttrpg #startrek

An upcoming villain in our campaign is Elias Shaw. A human artificer with a western theme and mutton chops. He's the muscle behind a powerful merchant politician. My players battled enough eldritch horrors and have grown to expect it. Now it's just classic home grown human villainy. #ttrpg #dnd

Another villain for our D&D game: The Verdant Stalker. Found it on Thingiverse. It's a "miniature," yet stands as tall as a Barbie doll and takes up 4x4 inch grid space. Players aren't meant to fight it head-on. If they're smart, they'll run and/or hide. Sooo... might be a TPK soon. #ttrpg #dnd

My D&D players don't know I'm on Bluesky, so I can share neat stuff. I own a resin printer, so I make custom heroes & villains for cheap. This is the villain I'll soon use in our game. I present to you: Cannon Clown with an eldritch parasite controlling him. What a smile 😃 #ttrpg #dnd

As a DM, I have to remind myself not to get attached to the campaigns and villains I create. They're just playthings for the players to interact with and nothing more. Still, it hurts when my players break something I worked on all week. #ttrpg #dnd #dm

So apparently, some conservative replied to one of my comments and immediately blocked me afterward. I'm getting notifications from others calling out their BS. I have no idea what his or her comment was, nor do I really care. The days of hate-&-run commenting died off years ago.

My Star Trek peeps, shower me with your golden memes. I'll go first. #startrek

Every single culture war is nothing but a distraction from the robber barons of today. It was never really about left vs right, Christian vs LGBTQ, white vs black, etc. It was ALWAYS about rich robbing us. The rich spend billions to trick us into fighting one another. #politics

Well it took a little work, but I'm finally done. I took a new D&D 2024 player handbook, cut the pages out, and put them all into sleeves. It's now larger and heavier, but I like it this way. It sits flat, and I can make copies easier. #ttrpg #dnd

I don't want to hear anyone's bullshit about how the Democrat party is distinct and different from the Republican party. They both take bribes from the same corporations. It's a false choice. It's always been a false choice as the outcome is always the same. They are the same political party.

Capitalists love to preach about the dangers of communism, but communism doesn't exist in the US. All of our suffering is directly caused by capitalism. I'm not saying one is good and one is bad. Both are bad, and we need a better way.

Let's do the math on why all health insurance CEOs should be afraid. If your life depends on healthcare, and your insurance denies it, prisons WILL provide that healthcare. Thus, you have nothing to lose & everything to gain by "visiting" one of these CEOs, then turning yourself in afterward.

In preparation for Trump's goons taking over in January, I'm downloading as much as I can from the internet now. I've downloaded Wikipedia, Khan's academy, Gutenberg ebook project, a ton of porn, numerous history books, a great many scientific papers, etc. Fascists are known for burning books.

Food for thought: If the CEO shooter goes to prison, he'll receive far better healthcare than he ever could outside of prison. Moral of the story; If you need healthcare and can't afford it, locate your nearest health insurance CEO and say hello.

The memes today are on fire.

Don't mind me. Just putting a conspiracy theory to the test. The conspiracy is that if you say: "There are only two genders." on BlueSky, you get auto banned. This gender statement is not my opinion. I'm just testing a conspiracy theory. If you can see this post, the conspiracy claim was a lie.

Why did Republicans win? Late stage capitalism. People are desperate for change. Basic necessities like food & shelter cost too much. Democrats offer electric car tax rebates & improvements to infrastructure. Republicans acknowledge the needs of the people, yet blame minorities as the cause. 1/2

As it turns out, Star Trek has always always been Star Trek, a hopeful vision of the future.

The Democrats, in their current state, are NOT going to win elections in the future. The nation is screaming for drastic change, and in their desperation, they turned to Trump. Democrats are the party of meaningless micro-changes. That's not good enough when the world is falling apart.

I've been saving up my paid leave all year and decided to spend it all on the month of December. Aside from working on my book, there will be a lot of #FFXIV played.

So I just got a custom Heltec V3 LoRa device and have been playing with it all evening. It's a repeater node for encrypted text messages transmitted via radio signals rather than the internet. A Daisy chain of these can reach anywhere which is cool.

"Nowhere in the constitution does it say separation of church and state!" And nowhere in the constitution does it say "guns." When you read the text literally, you miss nuance and intended meaning. #2A #constitution #America #freedom

So after hearing all the hype, I went out and bought an Xbox controller to play FFXIV. I'm still not sure if I like it yet, it's definitely harder to play with. Tanking and targeting has been difficult, especially when there's more than one enemy to deal with. #FFXIV

I left my phone in my locker, streaming FFXIV on Twitch with the brightness and volume turned down. I have work to do and no patience to watch a stream. I just want the mount code. #FFXIV

Do not rely on courts and laws to protect your rights. Laws are only as good as their enforcement mechanisms. If those in charge of the mechanisms apply it selectively, or not at all, your rights will only exist on paper. Vote wisely this November. #LGBTQ #politics #freedom #civilrights #vote

Pro tip: If you live in a hate state that banned porn, it's still possible to watch porn on your phone. Turn off the phone wifi and rely entirely on cell towers for internet. It'll bypass the porn ban most of the time. You're welcome. #porn #freedom

Oof, Biden is floundering in the debate tonight. He really needed to do well, but he's rambling, he's sleepy, he's quiet, he looks confused, and he's raspy. Biden's campaign is going to need a radical course correction to win. #debate2024

I was still unsure of the technology, so I bought an older Onyx Boox Note Air 1. Turns out e-ink writing devices are pretty good. But I think they missed a market because it's fantastic for D&D. And yes, that is a D&D character sheet template. Let's make ALL the characters! #D&D #Boox #RPG #writing

I've got a desktop and a laptop to update the new Dawntrail expansion. The desktop just finished, however the laptop says it'll need at least 5 more hours. Assuming, of course, the launcher tool doesn't crash... again. It's going to be a long night. #FFXIV
