“If these are the early days of a better nation, there must be hope, and a hope of peace is as good as any, and far better than a hollow hoarding greed or the dry lies of an aweless god.”—Graydon Saunders

I’ve been using this gif a ton lately to express my mental state with… well… just about everything. (In no way do I condone the behaviors or beliefs of the voice actor.)
What gif’s are you using the most lately?
I will probably drop a couple of my all time favorites in the comments as well.

I am generally doing less social media these days. (Well, outside the dnd discord server I use with friends.) I am going to move my focus to this platform for anything worth posting about.

I am re-listening the TSR. I am SO excited for the Two Rivers storyline. And my mental image of Verin is now solidly Meers Syal.
Please Raf! Give us Verin in the Two Rivers.

I don’t care whether Shohreh Agdashaloo is playing Elaida or Cadsuane. I’m just happy she’s in the show (because she’ll kill whatever role she’s in) and that Amazon is actually hyping a new cast member. When you have a well known IP, announce casting. Give us some crumbs.

I already love Shohreh Aghdashloo. This interview has me 100% with this casting. The depth we are getting in the casting is so great.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
