I boost a lot of art, photography, weird/interesting science, the perspectives of people who aren't the same demographic as me, jokes, and politics.

I'm good at designing and creating physical objects.

Human rights, paradigm shift, environmental justice, justice reform, sustainability, hopepunk, and resilience. Billionaires should not exist, and they definitely should not be running our lives.

Is there any advantage in this set-up to having a high-powered fan right up in the window rather than a few meters back?

I would gladly give up a/c. As it is, we have to use it sometimes when the humidity in the house gets very bad, but I try to use it as little as possible.

I think I know enough tech folks on here to get some kind of answer to this: I am on the board of a non-profit theater co. and we want to possibly change our website hosting from its current platform to something like Wordpress. People have done preliminary research on WP and Kualo, but is there anything else they should be considering? It needs to be easy enough to use that we don't need an IT expert to change dates/post pictures, etc. Easy to use, good security, not too $$$.

OK, that's another pretty major player that might appeal to them.

I am very glad to be in my new house, but I am not sure I ever appreciated how much my former neighbors did NOT use power tools.

I can't even figure out what it is. A chainsaw? Weed eater? Someone drilling directly into my front lobe with a jackhammer?

Yeah and Blackbiird, and Daughter, particularly when she sings Caro Mio Ben.

It's all so great, though.

Unloading at the new place. Everyone I need all the physics bending magic in the world that my couches fit thru the door.

And the bed fits up the stairs.

Lol I was looking at that going, what kinda funky mad decor is that? Until I realized it was on its side.

Time to make some room in this office so I can break down the desk and sewing table for transport.

SO over boxes, and packing. Can I just be in the new house like... right now? Immediately.

No? Okay. Cowboy Carter and getting it done it is.

Anyone else familiar with the hearthcraft tradition of not bringing the old broom into the new house?

Getting myself a new broom and mop for the new place (they need replacing anyways). But I'm pondering on the treatment of the Roomba and Brava Jet.

My thinking is to replace the brushes and pads (needs doing anyways). So the machine is the same but the broom-esque part is new.

We quote this movie all the time in my household. In fact my kid and I were entertaining people on a car trip yesterday explaining about the movie.

Anyone know of non-HP fandoms that have similar fic tropes to things like potions accidents, the whole mind-reading thing, & just the interesting options provided by magic generally?
I miss some of my favourite fics & tropes from the olden days, but I don't want to go back there :/

Me to new (experienced) player: Yeah so all the info and handouts are in <this channel>. Let me know if you have questions and if you wanna do a session 0 or make your own char.

Player: Cool! <proceeds to make a character using sourcebooks I hadn't approved and clearly not reading the house rules RE: stats, HP and magic items

Me: Yeah so, I directed you to the info twice and you ignored that. Being respected as a DM is important, I think you're maybe not a great fit.

Horse people hours are... not my hours, lmao.

Ya girl is not used to getting up at the asscrack of dawn and down to the barn on a Saturday. Phew.

Now coffee, because renovations at the house mean a nap is not in the cards...
