I play and fix horns, make things, and game a lot.

@generalslug Good! I know how careful your mom has tried to be with everything she has going on.

@quiddie I had the privilege back in college of being a player for the designer of Ten Candles, @shiftyginger who is an amazing human being and GM.

@argyre42 And the process really hasn't changed much. I have a bunch of those same tools on my bench.

@OneShotRPG Try searching for "dad skin to skin kangaroo shirt", those results look like what I had. It worked great, I wish I had been able to thank whoever gave me one.

[Xan Hammrskald @Xannelson]

@OneShotRPG These legit exist specifically for dads to do skin-to-skin with newborns, there's even a little pocket/pouch inside for kiddo. I have no idea what it's called, I ended up with one from someone but birth week was a THING and details like that got fuzzy. If I find it I'll follow up

@AndrewYoak @DublinSchools No, we're quite happy staying in Clintonville, no plans to move aaaaany time remotely soon. I just still play with the Dublin Symphony from back when we were in Dublin. At this point though I'm expecting another season on hold.

@mookiebean Ugh, my 4yr old is *obsessed* with it right now.

@albinokid @RuPaulsDragRace @the_symonee @gottmik @TheKandyMuse @omgheyrose Welp I had managed to avoid spoilers too until now 😝 Oh well. I was running a D&D game when it aired, so it was missed for a noble cause.

For those who need to hear it today:
God blesses and delights in queer people’s love and marriages.

And nothing any church says can change that.

@launasorensen @campaignpod My son is the embodiment of this quote. He's 3 1/2, and I call him my Little BIT (Bard In Training) because the stage cannot find this kid fast enough. But as his parent ooooofff. I felt that line in my soul.

“I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice...” ~#MLK

“A ‘purple’ church is not a great place to be, taking pride in differing viewpoints, but nobody is CHANGING actually.” - Rev. Dr. Jason Butler @_Liberationists #umc #WhiteModerate

“There are so many white moderates...there are so many of you and we need YOU to move...there is actually a side. Jesus was not a moderate, and Jesus picked a side.” - Cameron Overton @_Liberationists #umc #WhiteModerate

Seriously, Nate Silver can get stuffed

[Dokes @argyre42]

This is possibly one of the bigger tells for Liberalism vs. Leftism* as coherent** philosophies

*not all leftism
**definitely not all leftism

No but seriously: Liberalism has symbols. Federal architecture, with grand rotundas evoking awe and reverence, held secularly sacrosanct

@GovMikeDeWine That's extortion, you fucking ghoul.

[Xan Hammrskald @Xannelson]

@kat_kuhl_ I work with oils and greases and buffing compound all day, it's utterly hopeless.

[Xan Hammrskald @Xannelson]

@kat_kuhl_ I've never needed glasses before and I just got light sensitivity glasses to help with migraines. I love them BUT! Being 30-some years glasses free I have no lens hygiene habits and omg the smudges will be the death of my sanity.
