Matthew Dowd shouldn't have been fired. Charlie Kirk died in the very world he was advocating for, and it's not wrong to talk about subjects that are fraught with tension on both sides. Just because feelings are hurt doesn't mean his words were inaccurate. @msnbc.com should be ashamed.

Realized today that if I never say what I want, then no one can tell me I can't have it—and maybe this is where the service and 'selflessness' stems from. Just because I can look inside myself and try to do important shadow-work doesn't mean I know what to DO with my revelations....😮💨 #mentalhealth

27 hours since I peeled all the hot sauce peppers with my bare hands. My idiot bare hands. My stupid fucking BURNING idiot hands.

Going through doodles of D&D OCs—D&Doodles, as it were—and found the Then&Now of Vis, the dragon Sorcerer who hasn't learned he's really a polymorphed dragon. Some traits run true though...which is why he is compelled to keep all of his favorite worldly possessions in a jar he keeps on his hip. #d&d

Sometimes I have to remember that I am a hopeful creature at heart & hope is defiance & dismissal of fears & a stubborn resistance to letting despair & dark whispers cloud your mind & drag you down. When I'm scared & sad I sigh, pat myself on the shoulder, & remind myself that hope—and I—are tough.

Fun Tav facts: Rivian was so disgusted that the circuits bard called him a talentless hack that he whipped out his violin and kept up uninterrupted eye contact with her while he musically dueled her into the ground, and then he took all her tips. I just left them playing while I did dishes, really..

For anyone into the backgammon scene, my mom and I are FIERCELY (sometimes cruelly) competitive, and today we're going to test some new rules for a game I'm calling Reverse Backgammon. Stay tuned. 😂

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

One thing that I've found luck with when everything sucks is 'Make the effort to look for something nice'. When the govt is shitting itself & your car is totaled & the IUD you got a month ago is still cramping your nards & the president is passing laws seemingly designed to hurt you, here is a pug.

I named my murder-happy Dark Urge after the truck with the derpy eyes but now I experience great fear whenever I see a Rivian in my rear-view mirror on the road....#bg3

Is it still foraging if you pointedly do NOT touch or eat what you find? The little brown ones fart spore streams when you poke them, it's adorable.

Maladict is my cursed redhead half-elf warlock in my Dark Urge playthrough in BG3, and don't tell the others, but he might be my favorite? Even though he kicked a squirrel so hard it turned into soup. 
Reply with your Dark Urge characters, I wish to meet them!

I played a secret game inside our game night tonight—it finally ended when my gf glanced over and sweetly asked just HOW MANY of my lime-green d10s I had snuck into my mouth; she really wasn't expecting 6d10 to come spilling out, though. I'm glad she noticed; it was starting to get crowded in there.

People taking joy in things that don't include you doesn't prevent or exclude you from taking part in their joy.

Mini painting progress! Our local game store hosted a mini painting day so I was able to get some layers and details put down on this big boy. I regret picking a technique that requires going over each scale with gradually lightening colors—my attention span is already sad. XD

Hey guys it turns out that if you press double jump as you run off a cliff in Baldur's Gate, you actually do NOT pop open a glider and coast to safety because this isn't Breath of the Wild 🤷 Who knew....
