Conveniently enough
A screenshot of trending topics Bluesky has offered me, including "Saudi Relations," "Andrew Tate," and "Anthropic Investment." Fitting, considering they all belong in a toilet.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?
The album cover for Blind Guardian's "Nightfall in Middle-Earth," depicting Lúthien Tinúviel dancing before Morgoth, Carcharoth, and Morgoth's host in the hall of Angband during the Quest for the Silmaril.

Wife got some (tentatively) good news at work today. So I made fresh pasta. The ragù is currently doing its thing.
A plate of home-made pasta, waiting to be cooked. It is dusted with flour to prevent the noodles from sticking to one another.

Why are our Red Mages so goddamn stylish, Friend Molly?
A green-skinned Roegadyn Red Mage, dressed in dark blue coatee and vest with dark red trousers and black, thigh-high leather riding boots. He has a rapier in his right hand, a rapier with magical rays forming a complex hilt.
