Happy dance! My dragon sweater from @pinandtonic.bsky.social arrived! Perfect timing for the cool weather.

A photo of a red sweater. It had dragon scales along the neck and sleeves. The front shows a starry sky and crescent moon with mountains and flying dragons at the waist.

What if we, hear me out, made sure the hospital was paid the same for each person treated because the government negotiated prices for everyone, like in, I don’t know, some sort of universal healthcare system. That would really solve this problem.

The Time We Have from @moreblueberries.bsky.social arrived! Trying not to spoil myself by reading or looking at cards, but the art is gorgeous. Can’t wait to play! #ttrpg

A photo of the game box for The Time We Have showing two brothers on either side of a door. There are cards on the sides of the box; one for safety showing a hand with flashlight knocking on a door; the other showing an arm infected with plants knocking.

A photo of fanned out cards for the game. There are set up cards with items and a backpack, multiple door cards (the art for on with a goose shadow behind a door is showing), and rules cards with an infected arm.

We are alarmed as well. If you are in Germany, write to your representatives. You'll find the email addresses here: 👉 tuta.com/blog/chat-co...

Signalapp on X: We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a
catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled
opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could
spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe.
