A black hooded sweatshirt with white printed text on it. The front of the hoodie says "Kallista, Tempest Cleric" on two separate lines over the right hand part of the chest. Down the left sleeve is a series of stat modifier boxes with the numbers entered as they wpuld appear on a character sheet.

The front of the shirt says "Siren Storm Sorcerer Scarlett Shours" on two separate lines over the right hand part of the chest. Down the left sleeve is a series of stat modifier boxes with the numbers entered as they wpuld appear on a character sheet.

I have wanted to do this for YEARS, and after a couple of test runs to make sure it works I finally have a means to make it happen.

Customizable character shirts/hoodies are launching this Friday!

Well i just got a lovely message from someone who said she had printed this out and read it to her grandmother. Who was now insisting she tell the "internet dragon love story man" how much she loved it.

And i can honestly say that has made my week if not my year.

RT @NBCSportsSoccer: JOAO PEDRO HAT TRICK. 🎩

He propels Chelsea to an impressive 4-1 win at Villa Park!

I can currently lay hands on 1, 3, 6, 7 in my desk drawer.

I did not procrastinate until the last minute to do these updates. And the physical item I need before I can start queuing arrives on Tuesday.

I don't really use my personal Tumblr much (I pay attention to it for a couple weeks, then ignore it for months), but I do have a side blog that has scheduled content one month every year. I just went in and updated some things on the side blog so it is ready for me to start queuing the April posts.

people are so extraordinary in what they can do

World bad but bills due, so...

Next Tuesday, March 10th, is the release of BUTTERFLY EFFECTS, the fifteenth (!!) book in my InCryptid series of urban fantasy chaos adventures!

I wonder if @espn.com writer Joey Lynch is using AI to write his articles. How else does he explain just blatantly lying on something so easily fact checked? #FMFC #FullMingo

This is like my cats pulling down my bath towel to nest in. There are so many beds available. (I even put one in the bathroom for a while, but they wouldn't use it.)

I have some Hook's 12 year Cheddar in my cheese drawer right now.

Is this why my morning sucked?

Yup. It's been Kuerig Dr Pepper for a quite a while now. It's not often listed that way, so it's easy to miss if you're not checking the wiki page or something. :)

This all began with a concerned mutual reaching out to me, stating that they saw a notification that pointed at me using the Meta AI app and asking if my stance on generative AI had changed. That’s when I learnt that Meta has been quietly using random people’s accounts to promote their app. The catch is… these people never actually downloaded the app. Including myself. I just wanted to make this post to warn people. If you see a notification like that - know that it’s a lie, I never downloaded any AI app and never will. I’m an artist who values hard work and human effort, and generative AI repulses me to an unimaginable degree.

If you follow me on Instagram and you receive a notification about me joining or downloading Meta AI well, IT'S A FUCKING LIE. Meta is blatantly lying to us in order to make us download that fucking sludge-generator. I would never touch GenAI with a 10 foot pole.

I saw something about the Johnsonville sausages. So this all may be real, but it's just odd that it hasn't been posted on any of their other socials.

And I want to try that ice cream! (but yeah, it was only like TX and nearby areas)

Now, if only I could get any of them here. (I know the ice cream was available in a very limited area originally & I couldn't get it in WI.)

This hasn't been announced on other (confirmed) official DrPepper socials, & since this account isn't confirmed as an official account, not sure of validity.

I think I might've been the same (TNG then X-Files). I remember printing out so many fics so I could read them in class.

Oh! I do have three Chessex Mega-hedral sets in boxes that don't fit on the racks - the box is too wide. I might balance them on top next to the lab set tubes if I want to test gravity.

I didn't have the spoons for a call, but I emailed all my reps using this script (slightly modified first line to make sense for an email). I also hit up @resist.bot. (Code for this petition: PKFLVD)

Additional note:
With this change in organisation, I now have a ton of empty tubes. If anyone wants some, DM me and let me know and we can figure out cost/shipping. (They’d be cheap, but shipping might not be due to bulk.) US based mutuals only please.

This is just a fraction of my dice collection. But it is nice to get this portion organised, and the racks are oh-so visually pleasing.

@dispeldice.bsky.social has been moved to the small shelf on the right. Dispel Chonks are still in the other room. Selection of other dice in tubes has been weeded down to fit nicely on the shelf and the rest are put away in the other room.

Cont.

On the left, two clear plastic nail polish racks full of a spectrum of polyhedral dice hang on the wall. The top row has sets in lab tube style storage, while the remainder are in standard plastic dice boxes. The top row and bottom row have a small amount of open space remaining. On the right is a small wooden shelving unit with three shelves of polyhedral dice. The bottom shelf has clear plastic tubes, the center shelf has a mixture of black Dispel Dice boxes and some dice tubes in multiple colours. The top shelf is full of black Dispel Dice boxes. The top of the shelving unit serves as an additional shelf which has more clear plastic tubes of dice. A shelf of pop vinyl figures can be seen half out of the top of the frame, a fake plant is coming in from the lower left, and the upper left as a blue and while plastic 'ball' light.

I hung my second rack. I've done a complete re-org of the wooden shelf and the wall racks.

All Chessex sets are boxed and on the racks (exception, 2 mini sets in single box in lower right). I still need to print labels for a bunch, but they’re up there.

Cont.

Breakable knickknacks, completed Lego sets, chonk d20s.

I hope at least one full case is gone. (I'm not going to get my hopes up for more, though that would be awesome.)

I have filed my taxes.

That means I've done enough work for the week and can go back to being a lump in my recliner, right?
