Does anyone want to help me brainstorm and hammer out the details for a D&D campaign? It’s my first time running one, and the two people I usually talk through fiction with are in it so I can’t use them as my usual sounding boards. It’s set in alternate history America during WWI and involves occult secret societies and demons!

This very nearly sums up my whole life right now. Missing: pile of knitting, more dog/cat hair, the jaguar.

There are few more satisfying February activities then drinking coffee and figuring out what plants you’re going to put in the ground soon

Last night someone on Scruff messaged me “do you like fun?” I had to really think about why someone’s answer would ever be “no.”

@smallesttiger Is this something I can pay someone to do? I don’t even know

I have to make a little flyer advertising new classes I’m running and every time I have to do something that needs to look pretty I feel like the dog at the keyboard.

A week in Michigan is reminding me how OBSESSED straight people are with the differences between men and women.

I’m really struggling today to deal with a relative in a mental health crisis. I’d love some input/advice from those experienced on either side.

I’m feeling a little sad this Father’s Day in a way I wasn’t on the previous major holidays. My dad basically disowned me this past fall and we haven’t spoken since, but I can see pictures/hear stories of him hanging out with the rest of my family and it’s not fun.

Shepping.

Ready Player One felt like looking at a wall of funko pop figurines

For a long-lapsed Catholic, I explained a lot of tiny details of Christianity today. Religion is still one of my core competencies!

This is too good, I have to get the Ancient Magus Bride manga

After two episodes, I can say it seems pretty clear that Ancient Magus Bride was made exclusively for me.

Teaching group dog obedience classes is so draining, and the facility is terrible and it takes up half my Sunday every week, and I keep thinking I should quit… but then I actually go teach the classes and it is so rewarding helping people with their dogs and watching their faces light up as they learn and being able to help so many people in such a short time.

I am deliberately limiting the depths of my connections now because I know I cannot be a good support system for anyone else and I feel shallow and irritated with myself and the world.

I don’t like being that person, it’s never how I’ve thought of myself— i’ve always been the person who listens and supports and helps. But the thought of putting in a lot of extra emotional energy into someone who is incapable of doing anything but feeling sad, where nothing I do ever makes a difference for years, is crushing. I feel drained and burned out on caring.

The reality is, 90% of my close associates from the time I was born have required high levels of emotional support and caretaking and at the ripe old age of 34 I feel so totally done with it
