I'm working on an experiment to create a fediverse outpost for my small town, as a possible approach to supplementing or (ideally) replacing the Facebook group that currently is the source of news in the community.

Another was to have my beetle-crab 'eldritch cannon' pick up a hurl a block and tackle to represent casting Catapult.
Another was when I used Caustic Brew it came out of a prepped flexi-glass vial like a squirtgun.
I'm absolutely cranking Queen while cooking dinner tonight.
All the windows are open, because it's warm. The neighbors are getting a good listen to Fat Bottom Girls, Lover Boy, Under Pressure
