A generic beige human man with a twirled villain mustache

The same beige human man but now with fabulous purple streaks in his hair and mustache, eyebrow piercings, metallic purple makeup, and a face tattoo.

Starting an evil Durge BG3 run for the achievements, had to make it silly to make it palatable to me. Meet Perfectly Ordinary Human John Bhaaldursgate and his dream guardian, The Cooler John Bhaaldursgate.

Just realized that I haven't reblogged this on main? So uh, here, I'm reblogging this on main.

Asked my toddler if she wanted to eat something. This was a mistake as she's now extremely upset that I keep offering her pedestrian foods like cheese or yoghurt instead of the mysterious promised mana known as "something".

October is blindness awareness month and you might have noticed that recently I've been talking more about vision in general lately. I'm going to answer some common questions and give you some facts. First, blindness is a spectrum. Only 10% of us see nothing, most have residual/some usable vision

I have been told it's ADHD awareness month. I was not aware of this. I faintly remember perhaps being aware of it last year, but I must've forgotten it in the interim. This is likely due to the ADHD.

Perhaps we should have an awareness month for ADHD awareness month.

My home likes to surprise me with random games of "why is there an [object] in [weird location for said object]?" Is it:
a) my toddler
b) my ADHD
or c) a fey trickster spirit?

I really hate when parents of kids with autism will blame anything and everything but genetics

I have discovered what causes children with autism. It's *checks notes* adults with autism fucking.

Shoutout to my hypermobility for allowing me to twist my leg into a position where I can get a good angle to drain this blister on my foot.

Then you need a 96% with a better layout.

I'm just saying most keyboard problems can be solved with "more keyboard" 😛

Then it sounds like you need a 96%

Have you considered a 60% layout keyb?

What I always want from apps like Focus Friend (and what they rarely ever have) is something like a "stopwatch mode" that counts up instead of down. Timers don't work for my brain, but I want the bean to knit socks!

Reverse scope creep is when you start the summer with lofty ambitions of rewriting this textbook, and by the end of it you settle for some line edits and rearranging a few chapters.

Worldcon in general seems to be such a mess this year, but even just this panel has so many LAYERS of terribleness to it

She really is kinda like "if Petra was in KDA for some reason"

Aristotle is like garlic: whatever amount you've put into the dish (chapter), you need to add more of it.

Is the bookshop employee who only recommends sapphic books in the room with us right now?

Writers, describe your WIP in the worst way possible.

Several people with no self worth and a martyr complex fight over who's gonna be the saddest.

Line 8 of page 187 of The Whisperer in White:

No, it wasn't light, but a long, thin gash through reality itself

Me: "You can have one cookie."
My toddler: "Two cookie."
Me: "One."
Toddler: "Three cookie."

Thinking about everyone I knew in elementary through high school... I want all of them to magically know what a funny little weirdo I turned out to be.

For once I have context! Eleiko (weights manufacturer) made an April Fool's joke that they were gonna make these weighted mugs. People actually wanted them, so they sold a limited run as a novelty item. A bunch of people tried to copy them, but imo it's less funny when it's not a weight company.

Digital illustration of Endres, a young man with long hair and festive attire, standing amids a see of floating and glowing sky lanterns at night while holding one lantern with both hands, a serene expression on his face.

Digital illustration of three different goldfish swimming through the water, framed by lily pads and willow leaves.

A digital illustration of five lotus flowers in the water.

Digital illustration of Endres and Gou kissing in front of the fullmoon at night. Gou is floating in mid-air as though taken by a gust of wind, Endres holds Gou's face tenderly with his left hand while holding a paper lantern in his right. There are flower petals flying around them.

I heard artists can get shares on their birthday, as a treat 🪷

Sometimes you gotta lie to your toddler and tell her that the reason she can't watch more Sesame Street clips is because Elmo is tired

I'm proud of you

It came from news@shop.kobo.com and the subject line was "Important Update to the Kobo Writing Life Terms of Agreement". I assume they intended to send the email out in batches (normal for massive mailing lists) and somehow it got interrupted.

"All blimps are dangerous because the Hindenburg was filled with hydrogen" style takes are not helping the discourse or addressing the actual issue.
