There are strings that keep me attached to Meta. It’s annoying but anyone else feeling this pros and cons list becoming unbalanced?

As much as I love this Bluesky app had to step back from it some due to feelings of being overwhelmed. Thanks to new meds I’m not having to struggle so much w just being me. Next month will have lots of stress due to some health news that no one wants to hear. I’m here, albeit inconstantly 💚

Someone needs to have a talk with my cat about being an enabler. All I want to do is stay in bed and she constantly tells me “you do you boo”

Waiting for our plane. I’m learning a solo variant while he edits a rulebook.

In an airport gate. Playing the game Solstis solo.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

When you been on a call for 7 minutes and hear “Your call is very important to us please wait for the next available agent,” literally every 10 seconds … it’s starts to sound sarcastic

This made me lol because I had 4 emails this morning telling me my “cart is waiting for me” from yesterday’s browsing

This was my Thanksgiving fairy house coloring page. Shading & highlights are simple and so rewarding

Who else likes White Elephant/Dirty Santa parties? I get so excited about them and am on the look out for my gifts. This one is a fantastic contender!

The phrases that keep spinning around my head lately “the root to sadness is knowledge” & how “ignorance is bliss”… I have done more this year in listening & educating myself that I have found myself stepping into thanksgiving festivities not with joy & anticipation but with anxiety & tension.

I’m in my little back studio working away and I walk into the Play The Game HQ studio to find a battle on the table! (Daniel is working on the new game trailer for Plunder: A Pirates Life)

Do you know the game?? I love this shot I grabbed years ago and how the absence of matter from the components create the essence of the game. Do you see it??

For anyone unfamiliar with my work: something I teach at cons, and on my stream is the 4 color palette. I urge my viewers and students to paint a mini using only 4 colors. Limitation breeds innovation! This mini from the #boardgame Judgement Eternal Champions is one such mini! #minipainting #art

Kiri-Ai: the duel is my most played 2 player game. Why? Because it’s always with me. The game is a smooth two card dance each round as each ninja perfects stance and timed attacks to win the final blow. [Photos from my annual holiday set project]
