Managed to drag myself to BATSCON, the annual tiny con of the Bay Area Tabletop Society aka BATS. Games were all booked out, so best I could join was a Panic At The Dojo game. I’m not overly into combat games or crunch, but the GM did a great job of making the game physically accessible!
Room in a well-lit library with six people playing a tabletop role-play game with colorful character sheets structured for ease of handling.

You know Randall Munroe's observation of tech infrastructure? xkcd.com/2347/ In #Pathfinder2e fandom, that's metaphorically David Wilson aka Redrazors, who tirelessly provides us with a freemium character builder for what's after all a complex system. May he never retire! (And yes, I support him.)

The ADHD urge to be excellent at solving other people's highly complex problems while letting our car registration expire for 8 months while actively thinking about it every single day.

My 70yo husband is about to make his 3rd cheesecake. He is learning how to cook and bake after a lifetime as an engineer & manufacturing business owner. He is reviewing the process verbally with me. He is referring to the ingredients as “the components”. One can be adorably cute at any age!

Jury service reporting so far is going swimmingly. If by that you mean you’re in the water and trying to stay afloat in an uncertain sea without your floaties. (Yes, I managed to leave my jury card and my wallet both at home. Despite having thought of them. And prepped a stack to take along!)

In the realms of Let's Call Out That Which Is Good, I'm going to Japan on a trip for Celiacs and am super-stoked. :) Naturally I'm learning some very rudimentary Japanese. I started with kana on www.tokiniandy.com, and their hilarious hand-drawn memorization mnemonics are positively sending me. A+

Butterbutt. An older comic.
A four-panel comic titled "yellow-rumped warbler poem". In panel 1, a yellow-rumped warbler stands on a branch in a late autumn scene, and says "Fall is here." In panel 2, the warbler watches a brown leaf fall to the ground, and says "Winter's near." In panel 3, the warbler faces the viewer as brown leaves fall, and says "Need some cheer?" In panel 4, the warbler is showing its luminous yellow rump, and cheerfully says "See my rear."

Forget-me-not Leshy to welcome in October
An illustration of a forget-me-not leshy which resembles a fox with tiny blue flowers by their ears. Their body is dark and smoky, and they wear a bright white, wooden mask with a short snout and horns. A tail of many leaves furls from their back.

Pathfinder Society, PFS, is going through some changes in Season 8, w/ more games designed for Level 1 starter characters. My "stable" has aged out, so I created a new character. Twist my arm, right? She's a Fairy Magus of the Starlit Span variant from the Mwangi Expanse, a magic archer:
Digital painting of a fairy shooting a bow in flight. She has brown skin with glowing turquoise lines and white patterns on face, knees, and hands. Her eyes gleam yellow and fierce. She is wearing a light outfit of black and dark red, with green and red tassels, a side bag, and light sandals. Her pair of upper wings shifts from yellow to dark green, and her pair of lower wings shifts from warm orange to purple with bright yellow dots at the edge. The arrow released from her bow likewise gleams turquoise.

I went through a Saturday from Hell, but when I told my massage therapist friend so, she invited me over for a treat of "Tibetan Cranial". It sounds woo-woo but felt excellent. At any rate (hah!) she's offering a package quite reasonable in price, at least for the SF Bay Area. See poster if local!
Promotion poster from my licensed massage therapist friend who is adding another program, namely "Tibetan Cranial" massage to her repertoire and both informs people, and treats them. I have added a very stylish green arrow that points to her mobile phone number; you can also find her email address in the Contacts section of the general org website linked at the bottom.

Be patient and kind to those who are making art right now. We're all self-funded and the richest, worst people in the world are trying to plaster over and erase our hard work.

we're all still stuck having this masking argument because the most pro-social solution--if you are sick or feeling sick and have to be out, wear a mask--is decidedly not the norm here, even though it's embraced elsewhere

Even now, as a German I’m sometimes stunned by North American fridge magnets — even the ones I put up myself.
Fridge magnet from the “Australian Food Shop” that inexplicably depicts as advertising  a middle-aged woman in a red-golden fall landscape hugging a human-sized fried cheese-corn junk food piece

Oddly glad I slept on Drova: Forsaken Kin in the past. This little game sparks so much joy now when I need it. Role-playing? ✅ Huge map with nooks & crannies to explore? ✅ Different paths through the story? ✅ Characters with distinct personalities? ✅ Settings that allow difficulty adjustment? ✅

Humaning.
A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

Heads-up that United has established YET ANOTHER paid tier on top of their existing ones, and has booted the passengers that purchased relevant seat placements from said seats into lesser ones -- Without letting them know they were doing it all for the money, and of course without remuneration.

I am starting a new-to-me mystery series and I’n deeply concerned that I’m seeing the prodrome of a love triangle here. Just in case anyone out there needs reminding: we are letting love triangles lie fallow until 2050. In the meantime, we have this cool thing called OT3s to play with. Try it!

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

TSA is particularly dubious, but I hope no one believes European airport security to be free from security theater. My favorite memory is flying East and, in our university lodging, realizing that I’d forgotten to take out my tazer and pepper spray as well as my thin but long carpet knife. 🤷🏼
