Before I go on Etsy, are there any laid-off game artists in my follower/repost pool who would be available for a custom DnD party art commission? Four characters, a few special requests, preferably by Christmas? DM me! I have money!

* Finding a way to go back to work full time
* Making a new batch of vanilla extract
* Creating a D&D campaign from scratch (and running it!)
* Taking a photo w/Rob at a big xmas tree (a tradition)
* Running
* Playing viola again

Sometimes it's good to think about nice things waiting in the future

Some things I'm looking forward to, in no particular order:

* A friend's baby being born
* Getting married
* S2 of Bocchi The Rock
* Releasing the Wildermyth Omenroad soundtrack
* Sewing a curtain that I recently cut out fabric for
* Making a loaf of bread for the first time in a long while

Btw I read the article about "scientific advice for a longer life" and you guessed it, all of the things are way easier to do with more money

Good diet (specifically avoiding processed foods), getting good sleep, social interaction, aerobic exercise and weight training. So easy! Much accessible!

A poll of 8,750 adults revealed the secret to better aging in America. 
What is it? Money. The Pew survey found income levels can affect someone's physical health, social life and even cognitive skills in retirement. Dig into the data here (link destination not shown).
Another interesting finding: Americans want long lives, but not too long. About 3 in 4 Americans want to reach their 80th birthday, but less than 30% want to live to 100.
Not rich? You can still follow this scientific advice for a longer life (link destination not shown).

There's so much to unpack here and it's all awful

T-Rex: Good news, everyone:

T-Rex: We're all ANGRY today at someone we've never heard of before!

T-Rex: Good news, everyone: T-Rex: We're all ANGRY today at someone we've never heard of before!

T-Rex: And, AND, it's a DIFFERENT person from yesterday! There's no way harbouring THIS much anger is good for me, but at least now it's someone new!
Dromiceiomimus: Can't wait to experience new shades of anger from yesterday!!
T-Rex: The subtle hues! The nuanced variations in flavour!

Utahraptor: Maybe this next one will have a soupcon of righteous indignation!
T-Rex: One way to find out!

Utahraptor: By the way, do you ever wonder if anyone WANTS us to be fighting each other all the time in a torrent of ever-shifting anger, perhaps because it's profitable?
T-Rex: NO! And it makes me ANGRY that you'd suggest my anger isn't good! RARRGH!

If all goes well, the new music (and the toggle to switch between that and the launch versions) will be in a game patch by then!

Look. We've been trying to "save" the daylight for over 100 years. And every fall, it goes right back to how it was. Can we please accept that the daylight does not need or want us to save it??? It can govern itself
