One week until Election Day. America deserves better than the pedophile protection party. Knock doors. Make calls. Get your friends to vote. Let’s elect Democrats up and down the ballot and finally make Trump release the Epstein files.

My apartment is the most put together/ organized its been.... possibly ever. And it almost feels weird?!? Like it absolutely feels relaxing and I love it, but its also a bit surreal...

Tech problems tried to thwart us, but I succeeded in joining the call about a half-hour in. From there we had a wonderful chat about Daggerheart, game design, and more. :)

Join me tomorrow at 12:30pm EDT for a chat with some of the lovely folks at @pocket-dimension.bsky.social. We'll be talking homebrew, worldbuilding, and more! www.youtube.com/live/PN3NNB-...

"If you are not to award me love then I will indulge in rage" I dont think I can ever express how much this build means to me. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me and believed in me that I would pull it off, even when I wasn't so sure myself And thank you Leophotography for this amazing photo

Ummmm.... I think Kattigan Vale is pretty much done?!?!?! I am NEVER done with something in time for an actual post about it!?! I altered, added the trim and dyed the leather tunic, and did all of the other leatherwork myself. I think this is turning into one of my favorite builds )

Wait for me.... im coming.... There are few things in my world more powerful than musical theater, it is and will always be my first love. The Hadestown Proshot is a truly incredible example Seeing it if you can, I know I want to see it again.... even if its a sad song... we still sing it again

It uploaded before I could add the alt txt! Pictures are Kal dressed as Dungeon Crawler Carl Wearing a studded gauntlet, a bandana over their face and a stuffed cat wearing sunglasses a d a tiara on their shoulder

If there is one thing to know about me. If a cosplay has a prop, It doesn't matter if its for a joke cosplay, or one that was supposed to just be "for fun" or even if its just for 1 video..... Im probably gonna spend too much time on that prop

Just got out of therapy We decided, since i have almost no commitments after work this week/weekend and have no real deadlines.... I need to try and just rest and do stuff that i enjoy, but isn't necessarily "productive" Which.... is gonna be hard for my workaholic brain to do. ...but im gonna try

Copy Moon Joy. I made this little shadow box for my Artemis II mission patch, and I included Rocky and the model he makes for Grace from Project Hail Mary too, cause both of those things gave me a lot of hope.

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

If your account/project involves JKTerf's IP in any way, a reference, a name, direct OR indirect. Im out, im not associating in any way shape or form. I dont care if it doesn't give her money, it keeps her work in the popculture zeitgeist and continues to allow her to do damage to the world.

There is a Woodcraft store close to my apartment and I finally went inside this week..... this could be very dangerous for me. Lots of tools and gorgeous lumber. I snagged these blocks of Amazakoure and Purple Heart, thinking I might make some dice trays to test out how they turn.

Spent all day working on a big project for a client, didn't quite get to where I wanted to BUT im actually starting to feel like myself again, actually getting stuff done and not as constantly on edge. And im counting that as a win.

I printed this Standlium Dagger from Skyrim to see if I could take my "Dip Damascus" technique and apply it to something a bit more fantastical. It took multiple tries (30 degrees and snowing while attempting it didn't help) but i learned loads and am definitely happy with the finished results!

Gonna continue this train and talk about another black creator that means a lot to me. Dwayne McDuffie. One of the founders of Milestone comics which was the first comic book universe that featured black and POC characters and of course Static Shock. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwayne_...

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...

The things I do when im alone in the shop. -Sing loudly along to my musicals Playlist. -Listen to books ive read a million times. -attempt to catch up on Critical Role Today's activity, Attempting to practice the Death Metal growl ive been attempting fine tune how to do. ✨️Balance✨️

I know there is a lot of shir going on, but im closing in on my goal for the bulk/ muscle gain im working on. Ive always felt that my body just wasn't proportional on my frame and with this added mass and the lifting im really starting to like way my body looks, and thats kind of a big deal for me
