Another refuge from the Twitter armageddon. Will probably mostly talk about board games, space stuff, and hiking.

Actually sat down to paint a miniature tonight, something that I probably haven’t done in 25+ years. Tonight I did a Zoom call with friends to paint and talk about life, jobs, families, and more. It was a wonderful way to spend an evening. And surprisingly, my hands are still pretty steady. I won’t win any awards for this, but I also won’t be embarrassed by it (still a WIP).

I see that things are going great over at Apartheid Clyde’s bird site.

Sometimes Reddit just lines up perfectly.

@georgetakei If only you could extend it for another month. My wife is going to be in London then and has been in love with the play since she first learned of it.

@Mrfunkedude True. My biggest fear of Twitter survives is that it will be touted as another amazing success by that “genius” Elon even though he actively tried to destroy Twitter and it was only saved by the Herculean efforts of the remaining engineers.

First Twitter was on the verge of imploding, so tons of people jumped over here to Mastodon. Then The Hive showed up and a bunch of people started moving over there. And personally, I think that if the remaining engineers at Twitter manage to keep the ship afloat (despite Elon’s best attempts to sink it), people will slowly go back there and forget about Mastodon and Hive.
Oy.

Judging by the hashtags, I guess that #Photomonday is a thing here on Mastodon, so I feel like I should join in.
These were taken this summer on our trip to the UK at the Housesteads Roman Fort section of Hadrian’s Wall in northern England. It was really a fascinating place to visit, even if it was just ruins. Also really cold and windy, even in June.

@scalzi How ping before they just start calling it “ScalziTown”?

@ianlivingston Yeah. He’s definitely falling into the “I’m not wrong, it’s all a lie!” trap that catches so many people along the radicalization path.

Got in a little #D&D today. It’s been a while since I got to RPG, so it was really nice to get dice back out in the table. Trying out the new Spelljammer world in 5th Edition, which was fun. I loved it in 2nd Edition, so I can’t wait to see how it is in 5e.
