- "There's nothing frivolous about joy. There's nothing frivolous ab- about a moment of peace, a moment of sweetness. That's just as serious, if you ask me." Lou Wilson as Professor Arnold Plum in Hint! on the Worlds Beyond Number ttrpg podcast ⚔️🐉🛡️🔍🔎 #worldsbeyondnumber #ttrpg #cluedo #louwilson
- After months of this painting sitting neglected on my desk, I finally was able to finish it. Hopefully will send it to its new home soon.🖌️🎨🖼️
- Painted this lil guy for a friend's birthday coming up. 6"x6" canvas, acrylic paints, mixture of matte and gloss paints. A fun little freehanded project. 🖼️🎨🖌️ #acrylicpainting #acryliconcanvas #dungeonsanddragons #polyhedraldice
- Finished! Only took me 4 days and was WAY easier than I had thought. Fair Isle knitting has intimidated me for ages, but this helped me figure out it's not actually that hard.🧶 #knitting #yarnaddict #yarntherapy #fairisleknitting #resistanceknitting #resistanceart #resistance
- Day 3: finally finished the slogan and birds, starting to decrease. Hoping to finish tomorrow.🧶 #knitting #yarnaddict #yarntherapy #fairisleknitting #resistanceknitting #resistanceart #resistance

- Day 2: got about 8 more rows done then had to back out another row, so I put it time out for the rest of the day.😂😅🧶 #yarnaddict #yarntherapy #knitting #fairisleknitting #resistanceknitting #resistanceart #resistance

- Day 1: made it through row 15 of the pattern. Had to back out 2 rows when I discovered Chart 1 is missing a MC square on the left for rows 13-15, but I managed.🧶 So many ends to weave in, but one of my bfs has agreed to do it for me ❤️😍 #knitting #yarntherapy #yarnaddict #fairisleknitting
- Was looking for a harder knitting pattern to try and found this delightful (and free!) one on Ravelry. Gonna give it a try!🧶 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #fuckfascists #resistanceknitting #resistanceart #yarntherapy

- Getting two skeins of variegated yarn that are pretty identical means I just *had* to make sweater sleeves with them, right?🧶Trying to alternate between them so I don't fuck up the increases, and succeeding so far. #crochet #yarnaddict #yarntherapy
- Got bored during a bout of insomnia, so I started learning Portuguese on Duolingo. Side quest, unless you're already familiar with a similar language, this is a bad way to learn a new language.🤣 Fortunately, I've already got a couple under my belt. #polyglot #language #secondlanguageacquisition
- Just got one more fin to crochet, then sew it and another fin on, and this fucking monster will finally be done. This WIP's been in the Bucket of Shame for 3 years, and I finally got tired of thinking, "Oh yeah, I should work on that."🧶😅
- Finally. Fucking. Finished. Sorry, Gyarados, you're gonna be a one-and-done project; I'm never going through that one again. 🧶🤣
- Watching "The World's End" and my power blinked out right after the Entity says "It's pointless arguing with you." Not creepy *at all*.🤣
- I chose my mental health over blood relatives today. I wrestled with the decision for a long time, but ultimately decided against going to the family reunion because I don't want to be around people that have shitty political views. #metime #fuckfascism #mentalhealth
- Made a homebrew-ish magic item for my 4e D&D party (11th level). I think it's funny, but maybe I'm just deranged... #d&dshenanigans #d&d #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder #homebrew
- Struggling with rejection sensitivity today after an argument with a friend. Sometimes I wish I could just find the button to make my brain accept logic instead of feeling emotions. Logically I know my friend and I will be good, but the hurt is being really loud right now. #emotionsaredumb #anxiety
- Unless they deserve it.🧶⚔️
- Saturday, June 14th, is Knit in Public Day.🧶 First rule: Don't stab anyone with your knitting needles. www.daysoftheyear.com/days/worldwi...
- Knitting🧶 at the physical therapy office before my appointment. Hoping I can just get through a couple of appointments and then do the PT from home after that. Yay for being a hermit in the middle of nowhere!
- Putting this WIP crocheted cardigan aside for a bit. I like the pattern, but this yarn isn't right for it. Got the front and back panels done, trying to decide if I want to continue with it or frog the whole thing. 🧶 #pensive #yarntherapy #yarnaddict #crochetsky #knitsky
- Thinking about an old friend that isn't part of my life anymore. I miss the laughs and the comfortable coexistence. I hope you're doing okay, ocean drop.

- Had a secret discussion with one of my 4e players about upcoming plot points for the campaign. They told me, "You're definitely the best DM I've ever had." Trying not to cry from relief/imposter syndrome/embarrassed pride in myself. 🐉⚔️🎲📖 #d&dshenanigans #foreverdm #d&d4e #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg
- I was serenaded the cantina song by a life-size R2D2 today. Highlight of my month. #starwars
- Thinking about the little tardigrade tattoo that one of my exes had. It was cute, and his face lit up when talking about it. Good memories.
- You know you're a forever DM when you read the monster manual/bestiary for fun at bedtime. 🐉⚔️🎲📖 #ttrpg #dungeonsanddragons #pathfinder #foreverdm #lightreading #bookworm
- Tell me to finish my WIPs instead of starting a new project🤣🧶 I normally am fully fine with having a ton of WIPs going at a time, but I have 3 I need to finish - one is a gift, one is a simple hat, and one has been in timeout for long enough. #yarnismytherapy #yarnaddict #knitsky #crochetsky
- Finished this beanie while watching some Dimension20.🧶🐉⚔️🎲 #yarntherapy #yarnaddict #crochet #dimension20 #d&d
- Wore it out today for the first time, one of my metas had a roller derby bout. Got lots of compliments on it, and I felt really good for actually making/finishing something for myself.🧶 #yarntherapy #knitting #crochet #yarnaddict
- Freehanded this tank top for myself out of lace-weight yarn - knit the bottom black section in the round, crocheted the top rainbow part and straps. Just a few ends to weave in, then I might wear it this weekend! 🧶 #yarntherapy #knitting #crochet #yarnaddict
