Rolled credits on #SeaOfStars! A little over 60 hrs. I think there's one treasure I missed, and the post-credits quest still to do. Excellent game, highly recommend.

Played my Christmas boardgame draft with the eldest tonight. A few small tweaks needed for clarity, but otherwise it works great! I designed it so that a parent can play it with a kid, and at the end you have at least one origami figure.🎅 or 🐧Highest praise was eldest saying it was fun!

Hello, I have an ask.
We're doing a quilt sweepstakes from today until Dec 15th to help out a friend in need.

If you could either donate for a chance to win or boost (or both!), I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!

In your life, would you rather have a rewind button, or a pause button?

Why?

Welp. Now I have to allow ads on YT. None of the tricks I tried worked.

We've made a new algorithmically generated one-of-a-kind puzzle. The Bismuth Crystal Puzzle. Every one is uniquely grown, with a different shape, image, and cut.

I hate that I have to specify this but no AI involved. Just geometry, color, and craft.

Apparently my new dishwasher has arrived. It’s super quiet and very stylish, but I’m not quite sure how reliable the washing quality is. #CatsOfMastodon

#FediBookFair
My novella!
Fear or fetish, Cian lives a sheltered life as the Prince’s dear Hand. Her magic comes from the Goddess, but there’s no spell for her loneliness. When war threatens, she must embark on a journey of heartbreak and self-discovery. What she finds is a fairy tale, but not the happily ever after she expected.

This is really hard to read, but I think it should be known. The climate crisis is already here. These people are living in the rest of the world's future and have been for five years.

Good luck to everyone about to dive into #NaNoWriMo! Use that Halloween sugar as fuel.

Ants are the strange members of the hymenopterans. What defines a "bee" or a "wasp" ?

Flying! Stinging! Ovipositing! Bright warning colors!

Ants looked at the main advantages of being hymenopteran and said... nah. I guess stinging is OK... (Though most ants don't sting.) ... but most of this is nothing compared to going eusocial.

Personally I think eusociality is such a huge advantage this makes sense.

But then why aren't the bees who do both more successful? Are they too specialized?

Like @dave I’ve resisted turning the heat on in the house these last few days and made due with sweatshirts and blankets. Tonight is testing my resolve however. 58 in the house.

At what temp do you typically turn your heat on? I’m curious.

I don't listen to Creep very much because it's one of those songs I don't want to get tired of, but anyway...is there a word in the #music world for the throat-clearing of the guitar before it sweeps in and makes that moment divine?
