For day 5, we have the d8! Also I want to apologize for the quality of these photos, my phone just does not know how to focus on the thing I'm trying to take a picture of.

re: #pantone color of the year

Bro I had the weirdest dream where I had three dogs but I could not remember the third one's name for some reason, and my family couldn't remember the third dog at all and so I spent the rest of the dream absolutely convinced that I got hit by the stranger tma

Picture of a red and black percentile die with gold numbers on a wood desk. The 40 side is up.

Today's die is the percentile die of the same set!

Galaxy brain meme. Panel 1: Jonathan Harker found paprika hendl spicy because he is pathetically English. Panel 2: Hungarian paprika ranges from mild to very spicy; it's perfectly possible our friend Jonathan was served the spicy stuff Panel 3: "paprika hendl uses sweet paprika" recipes change quickly over time an dplace, Jonathan may have been served a regional variant Panel 4 (text running off bottom): PAPRIKA USED TO BE SPICER holy shit it used to be spicier before sweeter peppers were cultivated in the 1920s. plus the machine to remove the spicy pith and seeds was only invented in the 1860s. 19th century Hungarian cuisine was simply spicier than its modern counterpart. not to mention how even "mild" paprikca can cause indigestion which is why it's so frequently served with sour cream

WELCOME TO THE DRACULA PAPRIKA DISCOURSE!!

Got a dice advent calendar from my mom, and realized that I can share what I've gotten here lol

Here are days 1-3, a d4, d6 and a d10 that seem to be from the same set! I have a feeling that the rest of this week will be the same set lol

I replaced my dynamic insertion ad income (which included ICE ads, yuck) with Patreon pledges in 2 months. I promised to turn off dynamic ads permanently for every listener, and was honest about what I made from the dynamic ads.

Instead of ad-free episodes, it's dynamic ad free for all.

“Have Yourself A Merriam Little Christmas”

Merriam, a career-oriented lexicographer from the city, returns to her small town for the holidays and meets Webster, a ruggedly handsome librarian, who shows her the true DEFINITION of Christmas.

WSJ headline: Gen Z shoppers aren't spending like retailers need them to

If you want people to spend more, pay them more.

A glowing purple scorpion wearing a Santa hat jumping out of a present box. The text reads: Surprise! The enchanted scorpion of your dreams! It's the perfect gift for you - a normal person who understands the ramifications and complexities of owning an enchanted scorpion. Adults can make informed decisions about the things they own. Kids need help. Only buy safe gifts for kids this holiday season.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

Wish I'd gotten pictures of the snowfall before it got dark, bc this looks almost exactly like the view out of my back door lol

I wish all the newbie activists would learn what a boycott actually is.

Boycott is a temporary refusal to purchase *UNTIL A SPECIFIC AND ACTIONABLE CRITERIA IS MET* then purchasing resumes.

But these days-long "boycotts" aren't detailing the actual steps they want brands to take.

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation

YouTube video by Dove Makes The Covey, Color, Ballads, & Beyond: Mountain Music and Oral Tradition in District 12

This is the essay, which I absolutely adored

Was anyone going to tell me that Suzanne Collins confirmed that the lone fiddler at Finnick and Annie's wedding in Mockingjay was Clerk Carmine or was I supposed to find that out in a video essay about the Covey name ballads myself

Who’s that Pokemon!?

It’s Jigglypuff as a Bard!

Completely off topic /j I should reread Cinder and Stitching Snow......

Man as I'm coming up with ideas for this Goldilocks retelling part of me is like "am I just ripping off of other dystopian fairytale retellings" but then I remember two cakes theory and that I love dystopian fairytale retellings

We’re just normal men

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!

The existence of “hillbillies” also implies the existence of mountain billies and valley billies.

It's like this the entire time lmao

Excerpt from Goldilocks and the Three Bears that reads, "...table. if she had been a well-brought-up little girl she would have waited till the bears came home, and then, perhaps, they would have asked her to breakfast; for they were good Bears-- a little rough or so, as the manner of Bears is, but for all that very good-natured and hospitable. But she was an impudent, rude little girl, and so she set about helping herself."

Somehow I feel like one of the bears is writing this version of the story

Not to mention that every time the bears are mentioned, they're touted as being Good Citizens

"And then Goldilocks, being the punk ass little bitch she is, sat in Little Bear's chair until it broke"

Man I was looking up versions of goldilocks and the three bears to refresh myself on the story for this book and one version is just out here like "and then Goldilocks, being a horrible person," every time she does something
