Very excited to catch up with Kinch and co in The Thrice Bound Fool by @buehlmeister.bsky.social first though I'm going to listen to The Blacktongue Thief again. One of my favourites of the past couple of years that I've listened to multiple times now.

Still alive, headed to Bristolcon this year. Looking forward to that, I missed it last year.

Off to get fitted for armour today, fingers crossed it's mostly done. I'd love to have it all ready for some time early next year.
An image of my lower body taken from a slightly above angle. I am wearing leather boots with arming points for sabtatons, yellow and black trousers with a codpiece (yellow left leg, black right, left half of the codpiece black, right side of the codpiece yellow) the codpiece is tied up with red and black string with brass points. 

Beneath the hosen (the trousers) are white braes. 

Braes before hose!

Sadly I can't really justify that this year. But I'm doing Bristol this year and then WorldCon in Montreal and probably Bristol again next year.

The beard must return, it is time.
An image of myself in a black sweater and beanie hat. The image is centered and focused on the top half of me as I take a mirror selfie. I'm having a good beard day, my mid length brown beard looks glorious. 

The mirror causes the effect of multi-toms.

Pet peeve? Shows or films where the audio isn't normalised so I'm constantly turning the volume up and down.

Just needs to get a bit colder and then the beard can return. Summer with a beard is a bastard as I love it, but my face gets sweaty and then the acne comes back.

Cheers, the job itself isn't awful. I'm just fed up with cleaning, and management keeps trying to heap more work on me. That and I just fancy a change, I'm bored of it. I'll find something sooner or later 😁

This Day in Labor History: July 25, 1973. The Irish Minister of Finance, Richie Ryan, introduced the Civil Service (Employment of Married Women) Act, which ended the nation’s long-standing ban on married women working for the government. Let's talk about this important moment!

Lil goblin friend!
A digital illustration of a little gobin sat down with knees bent, leaning a hand on the hilt of a sword with the point balanced between her feet. The outlines are dark green. She's green with bright yellow eyes and green armour and clothes. Its a mini pin design for my upcoming D and D inspired collection on Backerkit.

been rewatching treasure planet a lot recently, and wanted to do a few screencap redraws of some of my fave expressions of john silver 🙂‍↕️ i love him and his face... #reneeart
Artwork of four busts of John Silver from Treasure Planet, all making different expressions and poses. In the first one, his teeth are clenched and bared, almost snarling, and looking off to the side. In the second one, he's looking down with a fond smile, and Morph is next to him looking like it's chuckling. In the third one, he's trying to hold back tears but failing to do so, but is happy and smiling wide. In the fourth one, he's leaned over with a hand raised near his mouth to show that he's talking in a lowered voice.

And I start crying laughing, that wheezy, uncontrollable, Tasha's hideous laughter. I think I'm done and someone further up the table announces '1D10 psychic damage' and I'm creasing again and woke myself up from laughing 🤣🤣🤣 2/2

So I just woke up laughing, never experienced that before. So in the dream I'm playing D&D or some such at a table with @robjhayes.bsky.social sat across from me. He's roleplaying and says 'Help!' but as he does his voice breaks and I chime in 'heeeellllpppp!' in a higher pitch 1/2

Got some of the fancy new pyjamas from Step One, cause I get too hot at night in the summer. And on noticing it I explained 'Oooh, no label in the shirt, this pleases my autism greatly!' #IFYKYK 🤣

If you work in a cleaning job take another 1d6, if you work in hospitality or care take another 1d8, if you work nights in any of those sectors take 2d12 and make a constitution saving throw.
