hey, look, i'm not going stop calling a grinder a grinder.

US dialect map, shaded from least similar (dark blue) to most similar (dark red). this one is for me, and shows my dialect is new england. which is accurate (western new england english, to be precise).

wild guess where i grew up and lived for 30 years...

Map of the US that is color-shaded to show dialect similarity: dark blue least similar, dark red most similar. this map shows that i have a new england accent. something that is not particularly suprising, as i'm from new england.

best the phone could manage...red shouldered hawk in my neighbor's backyard. it was loud! #backyardnature #backyardwildlife #birds

back of a red shouldered hawk perched on a large tree branch. a bit too far away for the zoom on the phone camera to handle, so it just looks like a brown blob with barely visible red on the shoulders.

throwing off the hump. 2 out of 4 wound up the size i was trying for. but the smallest (shino/ancient copper) still holds a double shot. the largest one (seaweed/red) is the real winner as it's gorgeous and perfect for a cortado. #pottery #amatuer

hand thrown coffee cup sitting on a wood coffee table. dark clay; glaze is seaweed (shimmery silver green) with red rim that results in purple and blue run. perfect size for a cortado (as demonstrated).

four hand thrown espresso cups of (unfortunately) varying size. but still able to hold a double shot of espresso. all on dark chocolate clay. the smallest is shino (tan) with ancient copper rim. two on the left are about the same size (approx 3oz) and glazed white; glossy blue rim in the foreground and ancient copper rim in the back. largest (back right) holds 4oz and is glazed with seaweed (a shimmery silver green) and rimmed with red, resulting in a run effect of green, blue, and purple.

what you have to look forward to on Skye (there was a bagpiper in the parking lot as well). i'm sure you can do better than these, which are just snaps from a pixel 6.

in the past few sessions of our drakkenheim campaign, we hit level 11 AND last session she was given (well, we did have to spar with an angel first) ignacious, the sword of burning truth. and holy shit she's a fucking beast now. +3 longsword with an extra 4d6 radiant + arcane jolt + shining smite!

after a 15 year break, the feel and confidence is finally coming back. in bits and fits at least quite pleased with how the glaze on this jar turned out. #pottery #wheelthrown #amateur
