If you see this, you too have been blessed by the Autumnal Serpent. It only appears to those who will have cozy thoughts of warm soup and crisp flannel all the days of Fall. If you have been blessed by the Autumnal Serpent, all it asks is that you share its blessings with others by reposting.

#Goodnight everyone. Tomorrow is another great day to #resist. Study up. Keep your minds sharp and your tongues sharper. We're going to need fires in our souls and strength in numbers for what's ahead. Create art, plant a garden, nurture your community. Standing together as one is the assignment. 💙

I love it when my wife sings little nonsense songs as she walks around the house doing mundane things like petting the cat or getting a bath.

Almost at 500 followers already?! I left Twitter with almost 800, but I built that account over several years. This platform is amazing and to all of you who found me worthy of your time, thank you so much!

Looking forward to Linkin Park's new album #FromZero as well, haven't picked it up yet, but the songs I've heard through Pandora have been good. I doubt it will take the #1 spot of #ThousandSuns, though. That album has saved me from many dark places and is more relevant now than when it was released

Been following along with @davidpakman.bsky.social since 2016. Very much looking forward to his book #echomachine2025!

The Democratic governor of Colorado, Jared Polis, says Kennedy Jr. can do good things at DHHS. The Democratic senator from Delaware, Chris Coons, says DOGE could be great. Two MSNBC stars went to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Donald Trump's ring.

The capitulation must end—Democrats must unite against fascism.

Hey, everyone! I had a moment, so I decided to make a little #selfdefense video. I hope someone finds it useful. Let me know if you want more or if you have any questions!

Wanting to live in peace with good-hearted people looking at cat pictures instead of swastikas doesn't mean we're in an echo chamber, it means we've chosen to stop tolerating the intolerable. We can disagree on the best way to cook a steak, but there is no room for disagreement on human rights.

Out at breakfast:

Wife: I have 3 choices I want.
Me: Okay, we'll roll a d4 and roll again if it's a 4.
*Rolls for "Oui oui French toast"*
Wife: Okay, time will tell if I say oui, oui or no, no!
Me: ... I still love you.

Write straight into the emotional center of things. Write toward vulnerability. Risk being unliked. Tell the truth as you understand it. If you’re a writer you have a moral obligation to do this. And it is a revolutionary act—truth is always subversive.—Anne Lamott

#ttrpg Update: I decided, once again, to make more work for myself, do both versions, and let God sort it out.

Working on the design for my #TTRPG right now. The "first edition" used a 14 spoke wheel grid for character progression and my co-creator was worried about how we'd expand options going forward because you can't just keep adding spokes and have a cohesive shape. My answer was a star map...

When I start running anywhere I like to use my lips as a trumpet to play "The Fellowship Theme." It really adds a sense of adventure to any mundane tasks.

Here's my haul from my latest B&N run.

Called my folks to warn them stuff was gonna get bad. Dad verbally rolled his eyes and Mom just shrugged and said "If it happens, it was meant to happen. It's God's plan. You just need to get right with God."

They're utterly lost and it saddens and infuriates me.

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming
