The best part of my “I don’t get into arguments and have a relationship with my block button approach?” Smiting people is an excellent stress management tool ;)

You’re welcome

So two thoughts- one is a pendant where you get mom’s ring reshaped to a heart, then set inside her pendant of your dad’s ring

Other idea is maybe a photo display with their wedding pic and the rings mounted with the pic?

So the big question is- are you emotionally ready to do something, or is this a situation where you feel like you need to do something?

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

Thank you both. I was pretty sure it was a non lethal something, and def should not be in that position at that range.

Those idiots are going to cave someone’s head in on a live feed. JFC.

I know! It’s freaking amazing. I’m so glad for the skills I’ve picked up

I don’t think it’s originally any more racist than most revolutionary war imagery. It did get co-opted by the Confederacy at one point

I'm in a bad way right now and once again, I call on Gondor for aid. I'm offering a temporary tier on #Patreon for my back #GURPS content. I'm highly unlikely to offer such content again like this. Check it out and please reshare this.

We also memorized directions to get to places.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

We've been babysitting an injured squirrel until a wildlife rescue could pick the little guy up. (Usually you want to reunite babies, but this one is hurt.) Nash is on his way to hand off baby, who was still hanging in there when he left. ❤️ These are the folks picking up: keeperofthewild.org/donate/

I know we've been postponing RDA a lot, but we might need to again this week. I'm not sure yet.

It depends on this little guy.

There needs to be a full audit of the APD Academy.

Some police brutality in Austin, Texas on 6th street this weekend: APD officer Garcia (looks like badge number 10338 or similar) appears to sucker punch a man.
