Is there any more important tool to own than a telescoping back scratcher?

I think not.

It’s the week between Christmas and New Year’s, so I’m allowed to play with my Willie as much as I want to, right?

Yesterday I was driving along, minding my own when a chord change took me straight to the music and feeling of playing Massive Chalice, a game I really love but haven’t played in several years. (That’ll be changing this week!) What game music haunts and inspires you? What are your favorites?

That vibe when you’re juuuust recovered enough from a stomach virus to actually work from home, but it’s the week before Christmas. 🤷🏻‍♀️

From a friend who gets me. ❤️

After your car breaks down, you are looking for shelter for the night. Luckily, you find an abandoned cabin in the woods near the road. But the next morning, the door is locked! Iron bars on the windows prevent you from escaping. You discover a book and a strange disk…

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

I've long dreamed of using magic to move objects with my mind.
The older I get, the more I know my dream is fulfilled each time I pick up my cup.
What is a body?
A spell billions of years in the making.
Soil and storms and the fruit of forests and phytoplankton.
How well familiarity masks our magic.

Just a reminder for everyone new to the platform, the only thing that matters here is user engagement, so when you come across a troll or a bot, the WORST thing you can do is argue. Just use the robust block feature or ignore them altogether, and eventually the void will swallow them
