@reactorsff.bsky.social FYI, all your domains seem to be broken at the moment. Both reactormag and tor.com are giving 404s across multiple browsers.

So much this. I'm having to cut 5 mg gummies into quarters with a razor blade. But also, root beer? Blech.

My @dhstein.bsky.social art wall above my desk is currently asymmetrical and that makes me grumpy. Oh well! Guess I'll have to go to Dragon Con this year and buy more!

I couldn't make it this year, but I'm pretty sure my partner stopped by to say hi and pick me up a new print for my wall of your furry art.

Can you have the Opinion Leader in a party as a non-leader? Because the princess has to lead to get the extra attacks, no?

Would you like your figgin* toasted? Or placed upon a spike?

@amyklobuchar.com 's DC voicemail box is full. @smith.senate.gov 's isn't yet. Not sure what that says about them or us, but it's certainly something.
