Super Art Fighter known as The Dungeon Master, DM, unapologetic dice stacker, ttrpg writer, terrain and miniature painter…What? I hate being bored.

You know what’s a great insult? Subpar. Like yeah, this is Subpar Tim. It tells you everything you need to know about Tim. Thanks Homer (and ‘not the best fighter Paris’, which is also a great insult)

Not to be a pedant @nytimes.com games, but one of blue for today’s connections is an inanimate object unlike the others that are living beings

Wide leg pants are the enemy of wide hips and a good butt. I have not done 50 bagillion squats etcs to be swallowed in denim. No one can convince me otherwise. Now flared jeans at the right inseam however, I can abide.

Don’t ever get stung by a scorpion. SLUDGE syndrome is disgusting which “is every possible fluid pouring out of every possible orifice in your body.” It’s also, on some level, hilarious.*

*I was not stung by a scorpion. I just read something about scorpions.

Yeah this. Take the extra seconds to care about someone else
Always use alt text for your pictures and GIFs. It's not difficult to add and it's a huge boost for accessibility.
Tonight I've seen more images without alt text than I've ever seen in one short period. Do better people. It doesn't take that long. And I don't care if you are some big account that expects some person to add it in a reply. DO BETTER.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Now that the baby goes longer stretches between meals, I can get back into running/playing games! I played a 4hr Adventurer’s League sesh last week! It’s only been since November but hot damn did I miss my click-clack math rocks and playing pretend with my friends and occasionally strangers.

All of my 8 week old baby’s favorite songs were played during the halftime show. I am not joking. He had a good lil nap before his night meal.

The right thing to do is to put out a statement saying that Democrats will consider this to be insurrection against the US government and Constitution, and that those who take seriously their oath have 1 week to arrest and detain Musk or be considered offering him aid and comfort.
Musk shared a statement from someone suggesting various reasons for defying court orders. That comment stated, "I don’t like the precedent it sets when you defy a judicial ruling, but I’m just wondering what other options are these judges leaving us…”

If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.

A very good read.

Active sleep in babies is truly bizarre. My beebs is just in his bassinet making raptor noises and hyena laughs and farting and apparently that’s normal.

Jon and I were watching Pop Culture Jeopardy last night when he got up to work on MAGfest prep:
Me: Do you want me to pause it?
Jon: No, that’s okay. You can finish it.
Me: …but I like when you see how smart I am

Hey, at least I can admit it lol

Collectible scalpers are the fucking worst garbage humans. You’re not a collector is you immediately flip it. Fuck them. Sometimes I don’t respect the hustle.

You ever on the pot and look over at your bathroom spider and say, “don’t go getting too big because if you do I’ll have to put you outside and you’ve got some cushy digs here. I see some lil buggies in your web, just sayin’” or is that just me?
