The kickstarter for my Rooted in Trophy game, Climbing the Witch's Tower, is now live. Check it out for fairytale horror, some fun collaborations, and potentially me making a full tarot deck.

Bored diva at the club (selfie, eye contact, cleavage)

Honestly I have to say I thoroughly love mastodon's poll feature yes.

Ah yes, kickstarter goes live tomorrow? Time to reconfigure stretch goals!

shooooooooould I make my own tarot deck?

last night I poured hot coffee into a jar and closed it and put it in the fridge and to no one's surprise the jar is now IMPOSSIBLE TO OPEN

how does flirting work can someone send me a primer

Bedtime with mags (which is actually all the time)

underused words that are bullshit:
comprise/comprises
mantel vs mantle

okay, today is bad, and I am in grading hell for the next several days

THAT SAID, I have a lot of shit planned the next several days:
tomorrow: goth night
Friday: KS goes live, inaugural meeting of my comic book club
Saturday: DIY fair, playing Cthulhu at my game spcae
Sunday: catch up on sleep?

complaining with my therapist about people who use their horoscope to justify being shitty.

he goes "yeah, like people who blame things on mercury being in retrograde"

me: "yeah but everyone I know is randomly going through shit right now AND mercury's in retrograde so like... that can't be by chance right?"

my therapist: "....."

(I think it's fine to seek advice from any divination method, including horoscopes, but not fine to blame your own situation on the starts instead of working on it)

last post inspired me, so I sent an e-mail to the director of the local trans resource center asking if we can sell their pronoun pins on Saturday (and give them the money ofc)

today is garbage

paycheck slipped through the cracks when I got promoted so I'm suddenly very broke

cried a bunch about it this morning

It will be fine

Today was a really bad day so I'm going to spend some time really late at night focusing on fun art.

If you have something you'd like to see as a block print, hmu.

I'm especially looking to do a series of pride statements (within reason - local trans resource center sells pronoun pins and I don't wanna step on their toes at all).

I like this as a compliment and nod to bi/pan sexuality, but worry that it comes off a bit... "I like your face, can I wear it?"

"your gender looks nice today" patch

ro be faaaaaaaaair to my neighbors they could probably complain about the girl who watches TV until 5 AM

I do it at a reasonable volume but still
