Why didn't anyone tell me how scary pilates is! It's like being strapped to a scooter and being in constantly terrified of slamming your head on the handle bars... Though I do predict I'll be ripped as hell in a month 😂

A new month begins tomorrow and so spins our Rent-O-Meter! Besides the €2k we need to pay rent by Feb 11th we also have €1500+ in bills to pay and €1000 in 2025 debt left!
A dozen new graphic novel subscriptions would go a long way to solving our money problems!

I'm less than 30 pages into this comic and
my face is now permanently pinched in horror and revulsion. In the best possible way, this comic is viscerally unhinged. @sebcosset.bsky.social your art is amazing but unhinged 😳

Listen... Is this arc sad? Yes.
Do moments from this arc occur to me at random moments in my real life? Yes.
Did @tallnerdapollo.bsky.social, @dylananddragons.bsky.social and I make a pact to have an intervention for Declan as a result of what happened in this arc? Yes.
So you should listen it.

Day 7 of getting to know Dread!
I did a series about archery! In another life, I taught outdoor skills watersports, survival etc. My favourite activity was archery, so in a bid to improve I started making videos about my progress. I stopped when I moved to a city 🙃

Solarpunk! When I was younger I tried out these go karts that used sails instead of motors and it was so much more thrilling than actual go karts... Imagine that in a TTRPG session... Excuse me *furious scribbling ensues*
Hey #ttrpgCommunity!
What #ttrpg genres do you think are grossly underserved? High fantasy has #dnd and its many offspring, plus others. Most sci-fi games break down by sub-genre. What genre would you want to play with few games in that space?
