Tsuro is always our go-to short game for when folks are getting to game night and getting into the mood. We also like to play Uno at the end of the night when our brains are fried or Jackbox.

Neverwinter Nights and Roller Coaster Tycoon when I was a little kid. I watched my dad play Neverwinter and had to indulge in my own tiny fantasy to play as a “dragon.” Still at it.

I always go for a druid-type in games (I have a druid of the coast in a 5e game and now a moon druid in BG3) and I too am frustrated that I can’t really do spells while Bear. But it’s okay, because I am Bear.

It was a battle between my queer identity and my biologist identity. For regular browsing and posting, science won out. But I have an account with blajah.zone too to discuss the queer agenda.

I consider myself a people, and I prefer my body jewelry to be gold if I can afford it. A few pieces are gold-colored anodized titanium (which are fading), but very prominent pieces are solid gold. I like yellow gold, not rose gold. I actually think titanium/“silver” looks more tacky than gold.

But that’s just for pieces of jewelry that go into my body. For bracelets and such, I prefer brass, leather, and shades of brown. I don’t wear necklaces.

Gold cars are disgusting though.

Wow, that’s impressive! I’m a hiker too, but I don’t have the time to do that much hiking. Besides, I’m also looking for birds and other wildlife, so my 5 miles can take nearly 4 to 5 hours, hah.

I too use peanut oil for cooking nearly everything. So cheap.

I’ve only just started weighing again. My “big loss” was in 2019, and while I couldn’t maintain my lowest weight, I’ve largely maintained and even built muscle to stay within my healthy range. I’ve tipped up in the last year after some medical changes and muscle building. There are still bits of me that I’d prefer looked different. CICO worked for a time, but I hate it, so I’m falling back to fasting when possible (which I’ve basically always done anyway). Just gotta be conscious of the snacks, especially those my new work keeps trying to feed me!

Same with me and Catan. I generally do not like resource-hoarding “competitive” games anyway, and Catan did not help that.

I definitely have my fair share of close crops, especially herps! I also posted a close crop (because it was just that close) of a brown-capped rosy finch to the wildlife photography community today too.

I like to leave some habitat because I find it adds interest and complexity to a photo. Plus, sometimes the birb no longer appears smol if so focused in the photo! I’ve gotten more comfortable with even more distant shots of birbs, too–sometimes I can make raptors look illegally smol.

The gain and then subsequent slashing of human rights based on fascist beliefs and lack of representation (and possibly over representation by fringe groups that capture the news cycle). Across the world, populism and fascism is gaining in popularity - again. It felt like we’d gotten past this point for a minute.

That community didn’t seem too active. I’m trying to boost inactive communities, but that’s too niche for me, lol. I only have ~checks notes~ 23 species photographed!

Thanks, I’ve spent too much time figuring out what works for them, haha.

There is not yet enough content for your sort selection to really matter. I sort by new because at least I’ll see more content as stuff is posted throughout the day.

My plants are (mostly) loving the sunshine! Plant lights can only do so much.

Those are ADORABLE. Maybe my next post will be some baby tarantulas trying to figure out how to cross a road (I hear tarantula moms aren’t into childcare like SOME arachnids…).

I feel you. My monstera is working on coming back from the dead. I agree with the other comment that this leaf looks pretty useless. Unless you rapidly moved your plant between lighting regimes like I did, it’s probably a normal thing!

Thanks, I will! I only give up when the plant really gives up (or ants invade and it’s not worth it–RIP spider plant).
