Often fascinated by cryptid stories.

Today I added another idea to my long list of #ttrpg projects. The twist is you're not trying to find cryptids, you **are** the cryptids.

🎶 chonky-boot-dancing-music playlist is coming along (current title: "bunker"). Looking for that right starting track.

Top contender right now is VNV Nation - Immersed (https://vnvnation.bandcamp.com/track/immersed)

What's the best to share a playlist these days? Album Whale?

⚽️ another cool thing about #Bundesliga is that many teams have team name on the top in the back, and player on the bottom. Some buck this trend, though.

#fcsp St. Pauli exciting showing to start the season. Top contender for our household. Bremen seem to be re-finding themselves at the start of the season. Looking forward to Köln tomorrow. #Bundesliga ⚽️

⚽️ Why are we trying out #Bundesliga over #premierleague ?

In the USA, you can't get all the games on one streaming service. Even though NBC has the rights, the USA Network games (for example) aren't on Peacock.

⚽️ Spouse and I are prepping for #Bundesliga opening weekend. We don't have a favorite. Going to see who catches our attention. #fedifc #mastodonfc

Strong contenders are:

SV Werder Bremen - green, neat location

If you want to put back statues and memorials and names of Confederate traitors while tearing down museum exhibitions on slavery because they don't show the greatness of the nation... the nation whose history you're celebrating is whiteness. The kind of nationalist you are is a white nationalist.
