No chance of that, hubs is away. I’m out of wool so I can’t even knit to numb the shite tv. I do have a painting half finished though; perhaps this evening I’m Edvard Munch.

Man up, sit down
Chin up, pipe down
Socks up, don't cry
Drink up, don't whine

He’s made of bones, he’s made of blood, he’s made of flesh, he’s made of love, he’s made of you, he’s made of me. Unity.

Fear leads to panic, panic leads to pain.

Pain leads to anger, anger leads to hate.

The British museum has an LGBTQ+ history trail which is interesting (and free).

www.britishmuseum.org/visit/object...
Desire, love, identity: LGBTQ+ histories
From the Ladies of Llangollen to Sappho and then the Warren Cup, this trail highlights objects that have a connection with LGBTQ+ history.

We played a Daggerheart one-shot today with some pre-mades and I really enjoyed it.

I particularly like how the hope / fear mechanic makes combat scenarios unpredictable; its just not possible to plan out an encounter in advance so every action feels like a meaningful decision.

I can strongly recommend knitting if you want something creative and hands-on thats relaxing, cheap to do, doesn’t require a ton of kit, low mess / space requirements, dip in whenever, and portable. Bonus: you also get woolly stuff at the end of it.

Hang on, the scale goes from dark (low crime) to light (high crime). Everything in white is at the top of the scale?

Is this telling us cities are the lowest crime areas and rural towns are a hotbed of antisocial behaviour?

I mean, that checks out with personal experience.

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

1995.
