Two of the greenhouses I work in are having serious ant problems, and now I can't stop feeling them all over me 😵💫
Not the best way to start the day if I'm being honest.

So my hubby went to that Big Time Rush concert on Sunday, and the gal he was with asked him what kind of music I like. He said my favorite artist was Aviators, based on how often I listen to him in the car. A very good answer, it seems singing My Church at least once per trip rubbed off on him lol.

This social media thing is hard.
I'm not looking to popular or anything silly like that, but looking at communities and fandoms that I want to be part of makes me feel like I'm back in high school. Everyone already has their groups and cliques, and I feel like an intruder for wanting to join.

Finally ordered my first Trench Crusade warband. I'm looking forward to learning how to play with my Pilgrims when they arrive.
My next concern is finding someone to play with lol.

At the House of Blues to see Men I Trust. My fiance is really excited, although the high 90s temp did make the wait a bit draining. It's going to be a grand old time 👍

It's my day off, and absolutely nothing sounds good. Most games sound like too much investment, I have no one to play anything multi-player with, and I still can't force myself to try my hand at model painting. I'm both restless and incapable of really going anywhere.
Suggestions welcome.

This is not how corporations respond to an ineffective protest. This is how they respond to a protest that they would like to have go away.
So don't let it go away. Keep it going.
In fact, Streissand Effect this shit. Call attention to how much they want this to go away.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.
Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

Spoke with an anon source who had an interesting insight into Visa policy. Per a convo with their bank on the Steam/itchio situation today, Visa put new restrictions into place due to a new "government policy." The exact phrase used by Visa. No specific country was listed as the source of the policy

I got on a Trench Crusade binge today, and now I can't stop thinking about potential Trench Pilgrims warband names for when I make one.

Outside of Endless Legend 2 hitting early access, August is looking a little thin in terms of things to be excited about. September is when Trench Crusade officially launches, Silent Hill F comes out, and at least one nearby con returns. It'll feel a bit slow, but it'll be worth it.

This has been a weekend of Witchfire, napping, and espresso martini. I don't think I could ask for a better end to a long week 😁

Doing a movie night with my fiancé and his family this weekend, and I need a few recommendations. They tend towards comedy or romance, so I'm looking for either horror or thriller for a bit of contrast.
