Oh, right, today's Bisexual+ Visibility Day. Hello there. I'm bi and visible. You should be too. We have the best colors and flag. Cuff your jeans, wear jean jackets, eat lemon bars, get out your finger-guns, sit awkwardly in chairs under pink, blue and […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

About how I feel every session. Especially flirting with the homies and forgetting the rest of the world exists. And those fucking doors. (Graphics from D&D Facebook page) #DungeonsAndDragons #DnD

THE PARTY BE LIKE
“I REALLY NEEDED THIS”
AND IT'S JUST ROLLING DICE AND
FORGETTING THE OUTSIDE WORLD EXISTS

THE PARTY BE LIKE
"I REALLY NEEDED THIS"
AND IT'S JUST A NIGHT OF
FLIRTING WITH THE HOMIES

THE PARTY BE LIKE
"I REALLY NEEDED THIS"
AND IT'S JUST GETTING TOGETHER
AFTER MONTHS OF SCHEDULING

THE PARTY BE LIKE
"I REALLY NEEDED THIS"
AND IT'S JUST SPENDING AN HOUR
TRYING TO OPEN A NORMAL DOOR

For something completely different: It's been almost twenty years since I read the #StarWars #RepublicCommando series by #KarenTraviss, back when they were first published. I was completely absorbed the first time, and this time is no different. I love the […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

The festival of Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr (258) will always be one of my favorites; partly because Lawrence reminds us what the church's true treasure is (those who are poor and oppressed), partly because of the legends of his humor ("Turn me over, I'm done […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Have I mentioned recently how much I love that X-Men '97 let Kurt Wagner be an ordained Roman Catholic priest again, and how much I love Nightcrawler as a character? #xmen #xmen97 #nightcrawler #Christianity #Catholicism

X-Men '97 character Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) in his X-Corp uniform and Catholic clerical collar stands in a snowstorm.

If today is election day for you, VOTE. Even if you don't know candidates well, it takes just a few minutes to at least see their platforms. There's no excuse not to vote. Go!

My son helped me with "chalking the door" this year, a tradition on the Epiphany of Our Lord. From medieval times, Christians all around the world on the Epiphany bless their homes by writing "CMB" and the year on their doors in chalk. The letters can stand […] [Original post on mastodon.online]

Written on a door in chalk: "20 + CMB + 26".

Just checking, we all still agree that this is the villain of the movie, right?

Meme of Lord Farquad from the movie Shrek saying, "Some of you may die, but it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make."

I will die on this hill. You can pry my 4d6 from my cold dead hands.

Meme of Henry Cavill in an interview for Netflix's "The Witcher". He's asked, "Point buy, or standard array?" And Cavill answers, "4d6 drop lowest".
