Severe storm weather has me yammering about polygons like a mathematician from a small town in New England that's plagued by a mysterious fog.
Screen grabbed text that reads: "and a couple of tornadoes."
The spring weather in Texas...she begins....
My FDM printer has a camera, and there's something DEEPLY soothing about putting the feed in the top of my screen and watching it go.
An update: my husband won by a considerable margin.
I made a grievous positioning error in my first turn that made getting even my first treasure take twice as long as it should, but the other treasurers were easier.
My friend V and I kept messing the board up for each other.
Labyrinth board game. Tiles with images of paths on them with icons for different treasures.
Found an updated copy of Labyrinth. Broke it out for #boardgame day.
Haven't played it since literally the 90s, and it's more deceptively difficult than I remember.
Joe Dante and Hideo Kojima are close seconds but no director was more right about the future of war than Barry Levinson with the 1992 box office flop Toys.
Explain a symbiote Comic Thing in a comment on a subreddit, and as you're typing you're like "this makes perfect sense." It's only when you read it back how utterly deranged you sound strikes you.
This #NCBD brought the first standalone in the Death Spiral crossover event, and I JUST WANT DYLAN AND EDDIE TO BE HAPPY. πππππ #comics
So I feel (both as a reader & author) like discoverability of new books is down lately, especially for the midlist. Please tell me some recently published (past year-ish) SFF books you loved that are midlist/overlooked/deserve more hype! (And please share your recs/this list!)
My recs in reply!
I appreciate this TikToker with Tourette syndrome, Shay, for taking the time to educate so many of us (including me) about her disability and coprolalia in light of what happened at the BAFTAs with John Davidson when Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.
(Captions added, video 1 of 2):
To be clear, I'm not especially "good" at any of it, but by god that muscle memory is DEEP.
Occasionally I'll drop a "been doing [xyz needlecraft] for 25+ years," and it sounds pretentious and fake. Really I just spent a lot of Sunday afternoons as a kid with only my grandmother's sewing room for company and needlepoint was an "acceptable" thing to do with your hands during Big Church.
"Girlies as their own communities in often male-dominated spaces" comes with many sub-cohorts:
-comics girlies
-cozy farm game girlies
-The Sims/simulation girlies
-WoW/MMORPG girlies
-D&D girlies
-Warhammer girlies
-FPS girlies
My husband is about to watch This is Spinal Tap for the first time. I'm genuinely excited.
Yeah, I'm waiting for something more solid than "Sony is thinking up a script" before I get excited.
It's been some time, but what I recall:
You'll have a scene with Gale. The denouement will start pretty much immediatly, but it starts slow. I can't recall if it's pausible, but you'd have plenty of time for a hard reload before seeing very much of it and certainly before the epilogue
In one of my runs, I made a save right before, let him blow it up, and it emotionally devastated me so much, I came back and just did the brain fight again.
I believe in you.
Comics listed in the post spilling out of a cloth bag. The small bag is patterned with pictures of the character Venom and the word "Venom" in title font. The background of the bag is shades of blue.
This #NCBD I get to debut my new comic book shopping bag. I saw Venom fabric at Michaels and bought 3 yards, figuring I'd come up with something eventually. Sewed this gal up last night, and she's a cutie. #crafts #comics
This week:
Fantastic Four
Ultimate Spider-Man
Knull
The Muppets Noir
Modeled and FDM printed some beads I couldn't find in the right size at Michaels, and I've never felt more powerful in my LIFE.
Our next Shigeru Mizuki release is coming soon! THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE. This was a personal request by Mizuki himself to have it translated, as he felt it was the culmination of his work. @dandq.bsky.social

A graphic in pink, blue, and green that illustrates how recent many Black History events are to the current day -- ranging from 1619 to 2024.
I'm sure we've all seen the graphic that lays out the United States ' relationship with slavery. It's good, but I never thought it was quite impactful enough. So I made my own.
I've used a few key events, including my birth, to highlight how recent these events are in history.
1 square = 1 year.
An image of a large Venom with Eddie in his hands. Text reads across f boxes: "The thing about love is that it's not gentle or soft. Not at all. Love is strength and full of terrible purpose. Love is power and it will never be done with you. It consumers you."
For Valentine's Day, a part of one of my favorite spreads from one of my favorite single issues of Venom.

A small alien blob in a hand-painted canister, hung on a necklace. The canister is silver gray. The alien is black with white eyes and resembles the character Venom.
A black alien blob that looks like Venom in a canister with clear sides and painted gray ends
White and clear resin parts of the alien blob and canister parts
The blender model of the alien blob and canister parts
Please look at my little #Venom in a canister. I spent so much time on him just to have a little buddy to carry around. #crafts #resinprinting
Okay, when the new #deadpool ongoing was being promoted as "back to gritty," I wasn't sure if I was going to add it to my subs.
BUT...
...then I saw Percy was attached, and I've enjoyed the hell of him.
This first issue has the exact jazz I was expecting, and I'm in to see where this goes.
I'm stoked for this story. My Venom groups are like "poor Jimmy," and I have to keep saying "Mr. Olsen is not the one in trouble in this combo."
Comics left to right: Venom #254, Wade Wilson:Deadpool 1, Space Ghost #8, Black Cat #7
Coming down with something this #NCBD, but I will not be deterred!
This week it's
-Venom
-Wade Wilson: Deadpool
-Space Ghost
And I've had to put Black Cat on the backburner, but I want to read/collect this upcoming MJ!Venom arc. Considering their relationship, I think it'll be fun.
