Fellow authors, I love you all, but this is not Twitter. Please think about ditching that habit of repeatedly spamming the same link to your one book over and over again. Post your pets, share a photo of the flowers you saw today. Bring some Joy here with you, we all need it now more than ever.

I know it's bad form to quote dunk here but honestly I'm so fucking tired of seeing Europeans talking about Americans as if there's basically two flavors of us. We can drop your entire country of 36 million people into one southwestern state of two million. America is really big and complicated! 🤷

The American tackiness that you put up with for so long has been finally weaponised and you don't have a good counter, coast people with degrees.

RIP Tchéky Karyo, a prolific French actor (From the Earth to the Moon, La Femme Nikita, Crying Freeman, Bad Boys, GoldenEye, The Patriot...) who went into space with the best (and only) Wing Commander movie.

It was always nice to see him. I will miss him. He was 72.

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

me with a blue funnel like hat, with a stick out the top holding a red ball on a string. I have on a red capelet and am carrying a letter with calligraphy and a seal in my crooked beak. I've got a badge with a symbol on it

Two very nice compliments from folks at work today about my sweater, one from a co-worker's wife who was dropping by this morning. 😅🤭

Jack Badelaire @jbadelaire.bsky.social · 2d

Felt cute and my hair looks fantastic today.

A picture of myself wearing a green shawl-collared sweater, my hornrim glasses, and standing in a room. My grey hair actually looks really good in this picture.

I did some digging and they're Legends I guess, but it's just not the same! 😓

Jack Badelaire @jbadelaire.bsky.social · 3d

It's absolutely glorious, I definitely hope it sees a tabletop at some point!

Jack Badelaire @jbadelaire.bsky.social · 3d

Was just talking to a friend about how I'm sad that Orks don't have dedicated heavy armor that's not a transport and I wished there were legacy rules for Gobsmashas and all the old Ork armor.

My stepmom says this shit all the time. The way we demand that people in need abase themselves in sackcloth and feed on nothing but gruel is so perpetually disgusting to me.

Kath Barbadoro @kathbarbadoro.bsky.social · 3d

i hate when people say that some people "abuse" snap benefits bc it's food. if youre eating the food then you're not abusing the ability to buy food. even if you could afford the food but you're getting it for free, it's fucking food and it's going in your belly! there is no "waste"!
