Last couple times I tried to make homemade pizza were Not Great - I would love to know your ways!

Miss me with that anti-hijab law, though.

🍤 or 🥐?

Yes and no - he did sleep for like an hour, which at least gave me some time to prep my bags for this morning, but then was inconsolable again on waking :/

I'm going to try to move the (finally) sleeping baby from my lap to the crib - pray for me

Enjoying stuff rules idk why people don't try to enjoy more stuff.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Screencap from a peregrine falcon cam. The parent’s head is in the foreground and a fledgling sits next to two eggs. Both have their beaks open as they call to each other, but it looks like they are screaming

I was reminded of this perfect capture straight off a peregrine falcon cam and it is a Whole Mood

You are not the first or even the second person I know to do code reviews over an evening drink 😂

There is no d&d spell called "doom". I guess the wizards of the forgotten realms aren't into doom scrolling www.dndbeyond.com/search?q=doo...

The goalpost arms of a sleeping baby are one of the most satisfying things as a parent

Fwiw your eggnog has been the only eggnog I’ve really enjoyed!

Oh no, I thought it was just me and baby gear 😱

Thighs of steel 🦿

Yes, fantastic scene

I take “scrawny” back - he *was* pretty ripped for Empire, but I think he lost some muscle mass before filming Jedi

I love Luke. Guys who are wrong give him crap because they can’t stand to see a scrawny pretty boy act his age and then eat humble pie as the main hero

Human eye top left, alien eye top right, title full-center, child facing a riot-police line with a mech bottom left, a Nicef (mech) with a beamsaber bottom center, young woman with half-body prosthetics in a medical cot bottom right.

Art by Luigiix - Left side features Stefan Mara standing firmly with folded arms in the Mercelo piloting uniform (small gold wing insignia on right side of chest). He has tan skin, emerald green eyes, short, dark brown hair with a tuft of white at the right temple. - On the right side Stefan is standing more casually wearing layered, brown robes with colorful elements peaking out. Aroi cultural robes from the NICEF setting. - Center features digital text information: Stefan Mara; Pilot Candidate; Age: 17 y.o.; House Status: Head of Aroi House; Origin: Tagil, Aroi Settlement Colony; Known Skills: Nicef piloting

Art by Luigiix - ref sheet for the Aegis mech (Nicef). Left side shows the full robot, colored black, purple, and gold, holding a beam-halberd in the right hand (relaxed), and a riot-shield gripped by the left. The energy of the weapon and the visor of the mech face glow golden yellow. The right side of the sheet shows difference views of the riot shield. One is a front-facing detail view, the next is a side view of the shield exploded out as an energy wall with parts of metal floating in the energy, and the last is a front view of the exploded version. Data read-out in the center of the sheet shows: Model Name: Aegis Class: n/a (custom hybrid construction) Manufacturer: Aroi House Primary Weapon(s): --Heavy Plasma-Condenser Halberd (Beam Halberd) --Expansion-Lock Field-Deploy Plasma-Condenser Shield (Plasma Shield) Combat Role(s): vanguard, front-line combat, defender

NICEF's eBook version price will be GOING UP significantly soon. I'm leaving the price at $2.99 until JAN 1ST 2026, so if you were considering buying it, I'd grab it now!

Screenshot from Hello Kitty Island Adventure. Chococat says, “There is a science to these things!” and my character has two dialog options: “Thanks, Chococat.” OR “Sick. Thanks, my dude.”

Neil Tennant is another one, if you’re into Pet Shop Boys

For B&S, where do I go from Dear Catastrophe Waitress, which is fantastic?

It’s the best

Congratulations!!

To your first questions, I don’t think character flaws (like being annoying or impolite) are enough. My framework for “gray”: the character has selfish intentions at some points and selfless intentions at others. A lot of times a morally gray character becomes “good” when they atone for selfishness.

My answer to the last question is that a lot of people engage in black-and-white thinking despite the fact that those around them are more than either “good” or “bad”, and this certainly comes out in characters of fiction.

I’m gonna need to see the shoes to know for sure

Screenshot of Hello Kitty Island Adventure - the Dance Hall floor is covered in dessert pizzas and sodas and rockadoodlers are running amok

Idk, I might like Hello Kitty Island Adventure more than Animal Crossing at this point

I also like the recipes that claim to take 30 minutes… after you chop about 10 different vegetables and herbs and carefully measure out about that many liquids and spices. 2 and a half hours later the dish is finally ready, and I’ve already filled up on the crackers I got out to snack on

Lmao

Beginnings and endings are illusions. Everything is connected, everything is a process. What we perceive as “life” is not all that there is.
