First flight trip since the kid. Going to Brussels for a gig. Flight anxiety is real 😬😬 But yay travel 😄

Mind Spike: a spell that deals excruciating psychic damage from a distance. Damage increases 1d8 with every level. Available to Warlocks, Sorcerers, and Wizards.

Parental Mind Spike: as above, but reserved for parents who are trying to put the toddler to sleep when someone revvs a car engine and blasts music outside.
Damage increases 1d20 with every hour kid has been awake. Also, it's a cantrip now.

Don't say I didn't warn you. 🤬

I know they are moving into a new building, but seeing a huge "See you here soon!" sign on a city hospital is a bit... ominous 😅😅😅

I really enjoyed making the pendant in the previous post :) I am thinking about making some more from my favorite designs.

Which ones do you think are the best? :)

I made a thing 😊 A medal for myself based on a Bronze Age Minoan seal. Original CMS IV 257, found in Malia. Dated LM I-II (so... roughly 3500 years old). It was red jasper so I used a red background. I think it's a crane, though the original publication just said "bird" 😅

Here's the thing, I'm not an artist or anything. But I love Minoan seal designs, and I think it is a travesty they're not more popular in souvenir terms, so I decided to get crafty 😄

Drawing of a round Minoan seal. Stylized figures of a crane in flight, another one standing and looking up at it. And two symbols that look like a ship and a sun.

@somcak that makes me happy 😊

@gary_bbgames This was my first attempt, so I just used a thin pen to draw the design on paper, and used jewelry glue to put the glass lens over it. Once it tried, I cut it out, and glued the back to the frame. Got the lens and frame from a hobby shop :)

Encounter on the morning walk 😊 Waited to make sure they made it across the path into the hedge.

@satsuma it did. I was with a friend who does wildlife rescue so I trusted her judgment

I freaking love Minoan seal designs 😄 "Stylized wild goat." Mood.

Today's #MythologyMonday is celebrating #InternationalMuseumDay with talk about mythological art in museums :)

One of my favorite museums in the world is the Villa Giulia in Rome. It houses the National Etruscan Museum. It falls outside most quick tour routes, and it is a lovely, peaceful, elegant museum with a very rich collection.

See the pretty vases below, with various mythological scenes :) Recongize them?

Hello #Bridgerton fans, do you think Francesca is on the spectrum? Piano forte clearly is her special interest. She is ill at ease at social gatherings and doesn’t do so well with small talk. And she is at ease with the silent type, just being together. #ActuallyAutistic

@Uniflame I think she's definitely ace. But I can see nd as well

Instead of family cars on the train, I want a whole family train, with cars staggered by "Children who get bored and melt down after 10 minutes", 20 minutes, half an hour... 🤣

When you find a very cool tarot deck on Kickstarter: 🥰 😊 🤩

When you find out that it was AI generated: 🤬 🤬 🤬

I appreciate KS making it mandatory to disclose AI generated works, but... I just can't with this, y'all. Seriously.

@juliar I mean, good as in, I love the concept and the example cards were good. The text included was a bit generic, I think that might be I too.

@marquisedewhat Yes, bless KS for that, although they need to put it in their search bar as a filter option.

@juliar Right? Curious what you think

The Hungarian Ornithology Society has these collectible pins they sell for donations at various locations around Hungary. There are more than 300 species included, but the catch is, they don't tell you which pins you can find at which locations.

Today I went on a scavenger hunt and managed to find a care at the fourth try 😄 Yay!

A friend explained #adoption to her 7yo.
The kid's reaction:

"So I don't have to kiss anyone and I can still be a parent?! That's awesome!"
