WELPH let’s see if this one sticks.
Can’t sleep because * waves hand ineffectually at the world * but by god I can bake this dough I’ve had proofing in the fridge at * checks time * 11:15pm ET
I say this as someone Aware that Twain got Weird about little girls later in life but—OH NO ITS MARK TWAIN WITH THE STEEL CHAIR
I remember the first time I read this I was like “oh hey, someone going to bat for Harriet, that’s nice” but Reader I was unprepared, nay, lured into a false gentility by bits like this while Twain was hiding a pair of BRASS KNUCKLES in his pockets
My guy is really out here being like “hold my beer” for 74 pages as the kindle file breaks it down
Rereading Mark Twain’s “IN DEFENSE OF HARRIET SHELLEY” because I’ve had a bad day damnit, and Twain’s absolute distain of Percy Shelley’s biographer Edward Dowden makes me Feel Better. Just read this opener and try to tell me it isn’t going to be a wild ride!
In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, my wife and I have decided to keep the Halloween lights we put up for Summerween until at least Nov 2
Having the post #paxunplugged2025 feels. Got my hands on some fun new games, some dice and a rule book or two, but I think my favorite purchase was coffee and art and stats for floral dragons????
They ain't coming to save me and that's ok, they have enough shit to deal with, sorry to be a bother.
My boy cat Nux caught a sparrow AND a mouse inside the house—luckily he’s a good boy that dropped both when I sternly told him off and they lived.
My wife and I have joked our decorating style is Sapphic Italianate and now that I’ve finally hung things on the wall we are NOT fighting those charges any time soon
Ithaca lettuce and okra are the first out of the gate and barely 3 days since they were planted!!!
According to my garden plan it’s time to start seeds indoor!…except i have two boxes full of seeds and only 72 seed starting cells to fill. The struggle is real, I think I need to sleep on this
Second time I couldn’t find eggs while food shopping but tell me again how it’s pronouns and trans people and POC and immigrants who are bad for the nation, actually
Ooooh yea something like this is perfect--screw goes into some sort of iron/wildwood case or another barrel construct that's the pelvis, femur is the shaft that gets attached to a knee pulley system:
Finished my character sheet for my first time playing WILDSEA by @mythworks.bsky.social, so thought I'd try sketching out my Ironbound Anchored Horizoneer and uuuuuuuuuuh @halflingspy.bsky.social just go with it? (Pulleys = joints, obviously, but what are even hips?)
My #dragonagetheveilguard hot take. You: Neve Gallus, stay away from my man!-- Me: What if Neve Gallus had THREE boyfriends to help her solve crime (assassin boyfriend not seen in this picture)
For reference this is the Rook I’ve finished DATV with so far. He’s just a little Mourn Watch Guy!
Taking a break from #DragonAgeTheVeilguard and #Inquisition (yes yes, I'm finally playing it, I FINALLY cracked the opening and stuck it out long enough to keep going) to be absolutely idiotically indulgent in my OTHER favorite game:
I just finished Dragon Age The Veilguard and my dearest @princesmweekes.bsky.social asked me about it and I’m 100% having a normal one
Coming back just long enough to share my #DragonAgeVeilguard Veil Jumping warrior Rook because I just think she’s neat (her hair alas hides the ears):
My Paladin Bard, out of spell slots, out of Channel Divinity, out of fucks, just as Cyric the God of Lies drops the disguise because my radiant damage actually made him bleed--
I've hit the point of editing THE TERROR season of Binge O'Clock/researching about the Franklin Expedition for behind-the-scenes Patreon posts that I've started designing stickers/temporary tattoos for myself
