I cleared out my FFXIV house to redecorate and changed the interiof design to Minimalist for the open stairs, but I think it created more problems than it solved, so no I gotta change it back which means my whole house has to be completely cleared out again 🙃

Is there a way for me to make lists or feeds of specific posts of my own so I can make it easy for folks to see my art? Or should I just make a second account and repost my art to it

If this is a slider, Elora is pretty close to "unsettling intense." She's just really good at focusing when she wants to. Though if you're boring or being a twat, you'll just stop existing to her after a while.

Well, after spending weeks on my FFXIV house, I just wiped the interior to start over. I took a video walk through so I can compare, but I have some Plans. Been watching a lot of housing build videos and I am inspired.

Man, I don't have to have a micrometer of sympathy for Mitch McConnell to recognize that what is being done to him is depraved, and the fact that the GOP is happy to do this to their most celebtated leaders should terrify everyone.

"Eh I'll be fine" Make a winter kit anyway. Fill it with shelf stable food you already like. When the weather gets better, just move it to the pantry. I grew up in the lower Midwest and we did this every year. A few times, it saved us.

So a few weeks ago I bought a clearance knitting/weaving loom kit and some green ombre yarn. I successfully made a pretty length of knit fabric that I will turn into a decorative pillow.

A photograph of a length of knitted fabric made with fuzzy yarn thay is sage green on the right end and very pale green on the left end. It's loosly folded on top of a black coffee table.

Man. I'm still having a lot of fun playing Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar, but I am increasingly disappointed in the lack of depth in the relationships mechanic. It's so shallow, there doesn't seem to be any real difference in interactions between friends and lover status. Sigh.

Hey, you. Get the HPV vaccine. Regardless of your gender. Research is strongly suggesting that it can help prevent not just cervical cancer, but also throat and mouth cancers. You should be able to get it from any pharmacy that offers common vaccines.

All the respect I had for a yoga student of mine was just obliterated. I mentioned my final exam tomorrow being open book, he goes "well with chatgpt, now every test is open book!"

While I adore G'raha Tia, my WoL's relationship with him has been strained at best. He's in love with her and she is NOT in love with him - but more than that, she feels like he loves a version of her he knew a long time ago, and she's changed since then. She finds his obsession very off-putting.

Good thread and I’m sick of seeing people rewrite 9/11 history. The only “shared bond” people had was saying stuff like “turn that desert into glass” amongst other slurs and songs about how we’ll “put a boot up your ass”

Fun with Cookie Haus (Jackbox Party Pack 11). I think the prompt was something like "make me a cookie with something rare"
