Pleasantly surprised that my preorder of @wiswell.bsky.social 's latest novel arrived on release day!

Photo of a hardcover copy of "The Dragon Has Some Complaints" by John Wiswell. The cover has an illustration, in warm colors, of a three-headed dragon with a young woman.

Which is weird, because I only started playing this year! XD But I was an 80s kid, with an older brother who got into TTRPGs early, so I can believe there was a strong influence.

Your Result:
80's Dork.
You were doing this long before it was cool. You were doing it when it was actively uncool. You probably got beaten up for it once or twice. But you’re never happier than when you’ve got a calculator in your pocket and a massive black-and-white reference manual full of complex tables to represent the effects of wind resistance and gravity on your bullets (by calibre) in your backpack.
The associated image is a collage of a guy in a button-up shirt holding an early Apple computer, and a woman holding a woodwind instrument.

I still have the small glass-bottomed pinch pot I made at a workshop there, years ago.

Photo of a small heart-shaped dish made from clay fired with a white glaze. The bottom of the inside is crackled blue glass.

The first thing I think of whenever I see photos of Trump banners on federal buildings.

Still from G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra, showing the White House with two long banners being unfurled on the front. The banners are black with red snake eyes.

My timeline did a thing 😂

Screenshot showing two posts. The first is the pastor's repost of Gravy Crockett saying "They really took the paid propagandists at their word when they said "we didn't know the where the money was coming from and we would have said all the same stuff anyway" and that was that". The second post is from Effin' Birds and has an illustration of a bird with the text "Exactly how fuckin' stupid do you think I am?".

Reskeet with a tweet you still think about

A tweet by Alistair Coleman from Feb 27 2017, showing an advertisement for a "worship and healing revival" called Britain Arise, but the I in Arise is a yellow human figure that contrasts so much with the letter forms that it doesn't look like part of the word. So it looks like "arse".

Yeah, fair. quiz: uquiz.com/quiz/eTdXoU/... picrew: picrew.me/en/image_mak...

Screenshot of personality quiz results reading: "Your Result:
Neurodivergent Coded. You're the one weirdo character who's a weirdo in just the right way. You miss the social cues, you can't flirt, you like things purely on color or texture. You fidget, you can't sit still, your house is either extremely dirty or very neat. Reddit hates you, Tumblr loves you"

Sharing some beauty: flowers outside the co-op extension office.

Large yellow peonies in full bloom, against green foliage.

Pale pink peonies, some in bloom, some in bud

Ruffled peonies in full bloom. They're a vivid...fuschia, maybe?

Reskeet the spectacles, nerds.

It's kind of scary to be visible, right now, as a trans person. But I'm so much more *myself* now and I don't want to go back. #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV

Selfie of a man with a round face and freshly-cut short brown hair. He is wearing metal-rimmed glasses and smiling. A scraggly mustache is just visible.

I've never been able to watch those two episodes, I was SO mad about it.

A still from the TV series "Person of Interest" focused on Detective Joss Carter, played by Taraji P. Henson. She is turned three-quarters towards the camera to look askance at Harold Finch, played by Michael Emerson. He's great, but Carter's the reason for this post.

Bars of dark chocolate, scored into squares, are loosely stacked on a white background.

Meanwhile I got "Social Butterfly" which is not something I'm called very often. XD jyc.dev/at

On the left is an arc graph showing about three-quarters of my posts are replies. Under the graph is a butterfly emoji, and the text: "The Social Butterfly Conversationalist: You're fluttering from conversation to conversation, pollinating discussions with your replies. Your strength lies in pure dialogue, weaving words into meaningful exchanges." To the right is a circle graph showing that the wide majority, maybe 90%, of my posts are text-only.

Put the sticker a little too low for a good selfie, whoops 😅

White guy with a black KFN94 covering his whole lower face, wearing a blue short-sleeve button-up with an abstract black print. An "I Voted" sticker made from a child's drawing, showing a stylized US flag over green hills, is mostly visible on his right chest.

If you see this post a vampire.

A screenshot of Deborah Duchêne as Janette DuCharme from the 90s TV series Forever Knight. She is a white woman with dark hair in a bouffant updo, shown from breastbone up, in a strapless dress, a black ribbon choker, and big dangling earrings. She has sharply defined, arched brows and smoky eye makeup.
