We had a fairy tale going back in 2018 when 5 friends and I ran an entire D&D campaign for over a year, meeting bi-weekly. AS ADULTS! Twas magical.

I got a flag for Saturday. I'll be flying the Rebellious Stripes of the Sons of Liberty.

During a recent staff meeting, my coworker was telling me how he has really gotten into sci-fi novels. I immediately brought up my Audible and was like, "Scalzi. Download them all." Naturally, I recommended starting with Old Man's War. Gotta get them hooked.

My skirkle has changed quote a bit in 10 months. Sadly, some of these friends are now inactive or deleted their accounts.

Early 90s they used T.G. Faust NATO body armor or PASGT (as seen in BHD). This kit is a mix of early 2000s body armor in the style of Interceptor, CIRAS and/or Osprey as well as some civilian models that only offer chest/vitals protection.

This is why you must use No Kings to mock them. Come dressed as inflatable frogs, clowns, and more. Mock their fascism to take away any semblance of fear they seek to impose upon us. Hold up signs with memes and funny sayings.

Don't play into their propaganda by dressing up in black bloc.

Twitter user snackbottledesu: Drinking water is unhealthy. It has no protein, no peptides, no aminoacids, no nutrients, and multiplies the effects of carbohhdrates. Your body naturally reuses the necessary amount of fluids necessary to keep you alive.

The West Tofts hand axe, with its fossilised shell, is one of the most popular objects on display at MAA. It has been assumed that the position of the shell was an aesthetic choice by the axe's creator, but this interpretation has been challenged. What do you think? 1/2

A flint hand axe shaped around a fossil shell, which is located centrally on one face.

Please take a moment to read this. WA is my go-to for minis, & I’ve never experienced better customer service. The Internet can be a savage place, & “Hudson” faced that. What he’s doing here is both honorable and completely unnecessary, but he’s doing it anyway, and that deserves recognition.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔
