I miss your face. Also miss you in the chat nights. We need to figure out a good time that we can do even a 30 minute regular Discord call again.

Even if I could afford it, I refuse to even try to get tickets.

I honestly hope no one (fans) go to any of the US matches. Go to Canada, go to Mexico. Do NOT come here. It isn't safe.

Hell, I worry about the players and staff getting detained and disappeared or deported.

Yes!!!

Oh look, I’m in this.

We didn't get back upstairs until around 1:40am. Alarm went off at 6. I was sleeping so good when that thing went off.

Hope I find some energy somewhere or today is going to be a real struggle.

Tornado sirens went off before I'd managed to fall asleep last night. Then it was herding 3 cats into carriers to get them into the basement and into the playpen that's much too small for three adult cats (the bigger one is on order and of course should arrive later today).

Changed my profile photo for the first time in years.

Not positive I like it though, so I might go back.

I have acquired Highlight Yellow/black. So no longer need that set.

This is still valid.

And I've now posted to the dice swap channel on the Dispel discord in hopes of getting some traction.

The schedule on the website (and Fort Wayne's website) has the June 17th match at 8PM, this graphic lists 7PM. Which is correct?

Also, any chance images can be posted with Alt Text for accessibility?

I've been using FreeTaxUSA for years and I love them. Glad you've found them!

I can free e-file my state through the state's website, but it's convoluted, so it's worth the $15 to just be done with it all in one place.

Congratulations Leah!

I avoid shortcuts. They always seem more trouble than they're worth.

I just didn't want to text someone before 7am. :D

Just let me be annoyed.

Anyone who says 'Android has been able to send later to anyone since [years back]' is getting blocked. I'm not here for that BS today. I've had an iPhone since 2011 or so, I'm not switching now and your annoying little comment won't convince me.

I was sad to discover that the 'send later' option for texts is only available iPhone to iPhone and I that function is not available if I'm texting someone with an Android. Why does destination phone matter? Can't this thing just do a scheduled send? So annoying.

I'm grabbing any happiness/positivity I can and holding on with both hands.

Allow me to wish you all a Happy Rex Manning Day.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

I’m not the only survivor noting this today. 👇🏼

*This is obviously tongue-in-cheek. I'm not assuming any weird para-social overstep. And it's pretty sad I feel I need to put a disclaimer on this.

Every time I see a clip like this, it really drives home to me that:
a) Aabria is, in fact, a Warlock patron
b) I would sell my soul to Aabria*
c) I might have some real Warlock tendencies

Now, aside from awesome vibes, what powers does the best of all Patrons grant?

I love that you can see /atmosphere/.

Words were missing. I inventoried the dice order that arrived yesterday. The order set to arrive today has NOT been inventoried.

While I have another dice order arriving today, I have inventoried the order of 5 sets and two 35mm d20s and my total dice count is now officially >7000.

What to Know About the National Book Ban Bill - Reactor House Resolution 7661 is a potentially significant piece of book ban legislation. Here's what you need to know about it.

An excellent writeup of the existentially terrifying House Resolution 7661.

I had the same excitement/anxiety watching the Artemis II launch from my computer as I did watching shuttles and rockets launch from across the river in Titusville as a kid.

I had forgotten to queue up a month of posts on my side-tumblr that only get stuff posted once a year. (the month following a book release)

Thanks to @mandatheginger.bsky.social for posting something that reminded me to do a (tangentially-related) thing.

The thing is now done. Woot.

Oh no. This reminds me I never queued up this month's InCryptid Chapter Quotes on Tumblr for BUTTERFLY EFFECTS. Whoops!
