I've finally moved! Send me a message to find out where I post these days ☺️

If I've liked a post here, it's because I want to save it to be able to find it later 😊

Turns out if your server isn't running authorized fetch—a setting non-admins basically cannot see—a user-level "domain block" is a euphemism 🙄 I dug around and found a random post saying that .social does not appear to have this setting active. I am displeased. I liked being on a 'general-purpose' server so I could post any bullshit I like without worrying about being on topic.

But maybe it's time for this move.

Discussion of where to go next will follow in followers-only mode.

I haven't been following this because

a) I already dealt with it to my satisfaction when I domain-blocked Threads LAST YEAR

b) ugh, I just feel like there are bigger threats in my day-to-day

but just to check: an individual domain-blocking Threads is adequate to cast them into the blackness of the void, yes?

And is anyone I care about on a server that is going to defederate from .social because of something Eugen said or whatever?

I only want to open this can of worms by like 1 mm please

Love to whiff on three lockpick checks in a row in front of a MUCH lower-level player who saw the treasure chest just slightly after I did 🫣

Home economics: talking / thinking about blood test results and long term effects of cancer treatment earns you one (1) bubble tea

I don’t make the rules, I just live by them

“I’ve consulted with my doctors and I’m just going to have to live with my current condition: if I catch covid because I returned to in-person work, it could disable me permanently. I wouldn’t be able to work anymore, for anyone, and I’m the sole earner for my family. What you’re asking me to risk is more than you could ask of any reasonable person.”

[Said while thinking: this is also true for you, dipshit, as it is for everyone. But you’re past convincing.]

I absolutely love the way Meow Meow looks at me when I address her. Usually I’m saying something ridiculous like: “Baby!! A round baby!!!” and she gives me such attentive but gently loving eyes 🥰 like, “you need me for something, beloved mother? Are we going somewhere?” Ahhhhh she’s the greatest, the certified greatest
The wizard in our Thursday night Dungeons & Dragons game is trying to do some sort of “dragon crystal short” in a made-up Baldur’s Gate stock market that J-M improvised. Both my ranger and I have absolutely no idea what’s going on but I’m happy to be along for the ride 😆
Understanding how to calculate air changes per hour in a space is going to be the 2020’s version of our grandparents knowing how to– oh, wait, we’re developing all the same survival skills as the people who lived through the Great Depression, never mind, abandon joke

I’ve been working on this Vampire the Masquerade chronicle that I’m starting to run on Monday. I decided to keep things simple and just set the game in Toronto in 2010. None of my players are Canadian so I can just say whatever I want and they’ll believe me 😆

I’m trying to populate the game setting with NPCs as diverse as Toronto is, and WOW my life would be so much easier if I just settled for portrait art of all white people 🫠 the tools are COMPROMISED

I’m eating spaghetti and meatballs while wearing a white dress. Take THAT, jerkfaces who think I’m just unreasonably risk-avoidant about covid
