Former cook, recapturing the fun of AD&D. Relatively intelligent.
I will say I'm not fond of streams, twitch or podcasts.
I'm a physical medium person
I include typos so you know this is not AI b=generated.
Keeping politics and negativity to a minimum here

So I've been trying to find a replacement for my original DnD dice from ages past. A number of companies sell a set for far too much, banking on the nostalgia. I finally made a Chessex acct. and built a set by piece. These come out to about $4.50 a set. #ttrpg #dnd #DICE
4 Sets of RPG dice emulating the original sets sold of Basic D n D. A Yellow D4, red D6, a green D8, black D10 and percentile dice. a light blue D12, and a white D20. One set is laid out, the other three are in display jars.

Here: a micro origami dragon I made out of a Andes mint wrapper.
"And now for something Completely different!"
A green origami dragon made out of an Andes mint wrapper. Sitting next to a Dime for scale. 1.33 inch by 1.25 inches. Not bad.

This is Gif. We found him abandoned in a parking lot and determined that he must have been only 3 days old and an official weight of 4 ounces.
Based on when his eyes finally opened, he was a Sept 11 baby.
NOW, he's going to be 7 this year and currently weighs 15 pounds.
Black and white kitten being held in my hands. He was all of 4 ounces and three days old. Abandoned and found in a parking lot. A large black and white cat stealing my computer chair. he got up to 17 pounds at 6 years old.

I learned how to turn a Crane fold into a dragon. Quite pleased. Then I had to shrink it. 2" receipt paper.
Dime for size.
I'm naming it Smol.
A white folded origami dragon from a Crane base that could nest on the dime next to it.

I get these feeling and urge in work settings too.
"boss" and "coworkers" playing their parts. They get praises. When I ask why I wasn't chosen or elevated, I start getting the reaction like the general population reacts in the movie Inception when they discover that the dream is being altered.
M. says, "The ND urge to break the forth wall during a job interview and straight up ask them to say what they mean." Is That Normal? replies, "4th wall may be the best way of describing it. I'm much obliged." Sitting With ADHD then replies, "The neurotypical 4th wall. Happens a lot in social settings. Everyone is playing their role as rehearsed. I end up feeling like a reluctant member of the audience. But I'm expected to perform and get more and more frustrated, because no one gave me the damn script!"

Do you know how bad this is?
Screen capture from Associated Press with the title of an article that says, "Trump, in an interview, says he doesn't know if he backs due process rights."

Gif kitty let me know it is spring now.
First bird of the season.
I put it back outside in a place likely for it's mother will hear it.
A Sparrow chick that my cat brought in. He doesn't kill them. They are live. Molted brown and black with a pale yellow beak. Has most of its feathers and is about al long as my index finger . I bit scruffy from its ordeal.

We have an orange tree that THE HOA has been water starving over the last two years. Almost zero blossoms or fruits last season.
Mom started watering it regularly last month and it decided to blossom like a crack addict.
Orange tree covered in blossoms during the day. Orange tree with tons of flower buds.

Ah, sunrise greeting me going into work.
Sunrise looking down the street I live on. Neighborhood, trees, laws, grass, mailboxes and the sun at the lowest point possible looking at me from the horizon.

Ok, First #ttrpg #writingprompt item.
I like this one because it has been in the Museum's possession for my entire life.
I really don't know how to describe this. I really don't know how to describe this. Title plate for the sculpture "Knight" by Seymour Lipton, American artist lived from 1903 to 1986. Built in 1957 of hammered nickle and silver and gifted to the Phoenix Art Museum in 1969.

Freehand copying an art piece from the PHX Art museum. I like the 6h pencil leads I got.
A pencil copy of Louis lozowick's 57th Street graphite art piece from 1930. Contrasted buildings in black and white, graded with shadows against a dark sky.
