I am really really enjoying doing these one-page NPC writeups for the Electric Sun book coming out for #InvisibleSunRPG. But at the same time I will be glad to be done with this deadline so I can go back to my usual mix of a bunch of simultaneous different fun work and leisure projects. :-)

Cookbook named “Six Seasons”
Every time I see this cookbook on the table, I mentally add “AND A MOVIE!”
When Trump loses power, his assets should be liquidated and returned to the American people.
I believe it would be beneficial to American if we were to take away the lifetime healthcare and pensions for elected representatives and made them find healthcare and benefits just like their constituents
We have created lifetime of benefits for a job that was not meant to be a career
Term limits!
Nice interview of Monte Cook on Rascal News talking about dungeon design, some formative experiences as a designer, and the Jewel In The Sky crowdfund. (JITS is a megadungeon, but it's a lot more than that, too.) www.rascal.news/monte-cook-o...
(This was prompted by a convo with my wife last night where her mild face blindness had her mixing up Jeff Daniels and Bill Pullman, and my name dyslexia mixed up the names Bill Pullman and Bill Paxton, that meant we ended up with a quadrangle of confusion that also drew in Jeff Bridges…)
I grew reading about Frodo and Aragon, Taran and Eilonwy, Caspian and Edmund, Menolly and Jaxom, and so on.
Is it any wonder that I constantly mix up regular Earth names, like all the people named Jeff, Chris, and James?
Big spider I trapped under a drinking glass after I found it in my basement.
What kind of spider do you think this is? A wolf spider?
Just once I would like to be able to enjoy a piece of media without immediately thinking about how to write a TTRPG about it
I'll keep that in mind. :D
Just had a weird sense-memory of owning an older flash camera that took a few seconds to power up the flash, and you could audibly hear the rising whine of the thing charging.
Haven't thought about that thing in *decades*, but there's the sound saved in my brain.
Them: Cow's milk is meant as nutrition for baby cows, not for humans.
Me: Caffeine is meant to deter herbivores from eating the source plant. Capsaicin is meant to deter mammals from eating the source plant. And both of those chemicals are going right in my mouth.
On this day in 2019, I witnessed one of the coolest things ever. A lenticular cloud lit-up by a setting sun over the Perito Morena Glacier in Argentina.
Goose chasing meme. First panel is just the goose's face with the words "Explain your allergy comment!" Second panel is the goose chasing after a person, yelling "EXPLAIN IT!"
Anyway, maybe I should have chased after them and asked them to explain what they meant by their comment.
(This is a joke, they were on a bike and I was on foot, I prolly couldnt catch them, and me chasing someone would seem really threatening.)
Am I being insensitive toward peanut allergies? Everything I've read about them indicates that the actual risk from non-ingestive contact is minimal.
3) If you're so allergic that being in the MERE VICINITY of two peanuts, either in the air or on the ground, means you're gonna have an allergic reaction, you probably already live in a plastic bubble to avoid that sort of "danger"?
1) I'm always careful to make sure there's nobody near me when I throw the peanuts because I don't want to bonk anyone with them,
2) A couple of thrown peanuts on the ground, which are picked up within a minute by a crow, aren't gonna bother anyone, and
"Anyone near you who has a peanut allergy, or anyone behind you who has a peanut allergy, is at risk because of your thrown peanuts."
And on the one hand, sure, such a person theoretically has a very slight risk of peanut exposure.
And on the other hand,
So just now I was walking home from my coffee shop, feeding my crows (throwing them roasted peanuts in the shell). And a person rode past me on their bike and sarcastically (and passive-aggressively) said, "Sucks to have a peanut allergy, huh?"
And I think they meant,
"And Tim Curry, WHO DID NOT DIE"
Two doors - the ‘male’ entrance is wide and square like a door. The ‘woman’ entrance is a cutout of a very thin long haired woman in heels.
This cartoon by Naked Pastor is SO GOOD. Sums up what I’ve been saying for ages about what happens when you start gatekeeping womanhood (and spoiler alert it’s the opposite of feminism).
Here’s a feed cleanser.
Dogs catching treats.
Jasper has many many many opinions.
He is very cute, if slightly loud.
If you weren't thinking this all along, I question your judgement.
