Got a couple of orders in for my TTRPG / OSR hex tiles! Sending those out today with lots of love to some fellow GMs. They said they’re gonna be playing some Shadowdark! I’ll be running some D&D 5e and Cairn 2e this weekend with these myself

I actively avoid HP. Their products are super enshitified and anti consumer. In a way I’m happy they’ve chosen this route of business self destruction. I hate it for the affected workers… but HP’s future failure will be a nice warning on the stupidity of this level of faith in “AI”
HP Inc said it expects to cut between 4,000 and 6,000 jobs globally by fiscal 2028 as part of a plan to streamline operations and adopt artificial intelligence to speed up product development, improve customer satisfaction and boost productivity. https://cnn.it/48iguvI

On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, we remember those in the trans community whose lives were cut short by anti-trans violence.
As a Co-Chair of @equality.house.gov, I am committed to ending the scourge of anti-trans violence. That starts with the rhetoric of my colleagues.

The Umbral Hatchery
Shadows pulled out of the earth through seams of stone until hollows opened like mouths. Men came and tried to seal the place with seals and prayer. Seals rotted, prayers frayed. The brood filled the dark and grows.

Boundless Space: Making the scary monsters of the Eridani Belt today. I'm thinking that space combat will be much like normal conflict in Boundless, but with the addition of vast space ranges, multiple actions for a crewed ship, and of course, torpedoes and boarding!

Making progress on this board! Too bad I don’t have a drum sander… but at least I know where I can go use one!

Prototyped this for a couple weeks. Friend needed to store jewelry they sell on Etsy… had to fit in a Kallex shelf cube.
I designed the shelves to slide. They are clear acrylic, but still have a lot of the masking on for shipping. Held together by friction, will glue up.
Super happy with this! 😺

Cutting board glue up…. just scraped the squeeze out off. Next week, gonna try to get 4 more boards in the pipeline. Will continue to update as these come together. Only problem is that these parallel clamps are so $$$!! I need at least 4 per board. Gonna need more if I’m gonna batch these

I thought I had dimensioned enough wood for at least three cutting boards… but apparently you can never have enough hardwood!

All right, it’s time to glue up some cutting boards! Now I need some ideas on what to engrave on them. They can’t all be TTRPG related because I have to actually sell some to the normies!!

If you’re an Air Traffic Controller and happen to see this post… thank you for keeping us safe in the skies.
Your job is a heavy one… and you’ve been made into a political football.
I just wanted you know that this engineer who flies way too much loves our ATC. Clear skies and following winds.
