What look like 'eyes' above the tiny toothless mouth are in fact chemosensory organs equivalent to nostrils.

The EYES are the green domes INSIDE THE TRANSPARENT HEAD. And they look *up*...

Instagram adding a map feature where you can literally find the address someone is at feels bad!

🗣️ we should go back to glass bottles whenever possible!! There’s a reason “reduce” and “reuse” come before “recycle”
Turning old plastic into new plastic is really, really hard.

Products made with dyes, flame retardants and other toxic chemicals create a health hazard when heated for recycling, severely limiting the products you can make from recycled plastic.

Daggerheart isn't trying to move beyond D&D, it's trying to rewrite D&D to serve the players already at the table. And, frankly, it succeeds. A long essay on game design, why "D&D is a genre," and how Daggerheart understands that great rules don't make for great roleplaying... great stories do.

Daggerheart does Dungeons & Dragons better than Dungeons & Dragons
I’m a basic heartbroken fantasy bitch.

While exploring Vancouver’s Stanley Park I ended up with footage I was incredibly proud of — a music video for my @criticalrole.bsky.social fan tribute “Do Not Go Far From Me”

I need your help to break containment — please share this song with your critter pals 🫶
