I am fully hooked on @moonlitequeenartist’s stic I am fully hooked on @moonlitequeenartist’s stickers, they’re so glossy and have such delightful uses of holo, I splurged on a bunch because I need more stickers for sending pals in letters but also I need some for myself! All I was doing was trying to find kickass tattoo artists and here I am now, feeding my sticker hoarding habit.
Behind in doing my monthly photo transfer off the Behind in doing my monthly photo transfer off the phone, here’s some of the plants I get to see. Along with catching up on tidying files I need to tidy up my BLM & ACAB highlight, to make sure it’s got up-to-date info and anything from my archives I missed adding. I hope you’ve found your marathon pace and are finding ways to support the actions of and uplift the voices of marginalised people not just in spurts but in ongoing ways. It’s not either/or, it’s always.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, Kamm In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, Kammie meets her deities in a dream, the teens and Skirt let the Cult of the Lava Snake know the location of the vault and Sherm gets a magical checkup regarding his curse. 🖤 This game remains such a powerful constant as each day and month bring new challenges and changes. Because we’ve always played via Discord it remains much the same but the themes of our stories, the destruction of broken systems, has a different edge to it. And, we take more time in the soft scenes to give ourselves joy we can control (shoutout to good DMs!). Elsewhere, It’s interesting to see who is learning to integrate awareness and anti-racist work into their lives and who is clearly holding their breath for things to return to their (white, privileged) idea of normal. “Interesting” is a word for it anyway. I hope their world never returns. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
Did a mini exchange with a pal, she sent me a figu Did a mini exchange with a pal, she sent me a figure to paint and I sent her one. On seeing this ogre from Reaper I immediately thought of the scene in Ever After (1998!) where Da Vinci takes the door of its hinges so Danielle can go to the ball. So of COURSE she needed to have soft vibes with her badassery, like any capable princess. I started way late on the evening and totally spaced cleaning all the mould lines but whatever. I’m happy with how this turned out. I gotta get better at doing fun little things for me. . . #dndminiatures #reaperminiatures
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the t In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the teens possibly won over an enemy’s coworker, Fi and the ghost of The Fox get to know each other better and Kammie finally meets her aunt and cousins. Oh and that pool of nasty shit in the castle? De-aging salve. 🖤We started this game end of March, as a big BIG arc in the main game ended, and it’s been such a salve as we settled into new routines. You know you can still find comfort and joy as you question the things you always thought were true, right? Like, as you learn about abolition and the depths to which not-white voices have been shut out of creative communities you can start listening to and supporting those voices, bettering and widening the scope of what you engage with for fun? There’s more out there than our pain. Happy pride! . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, we f In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, we find the treasury and also learn that before the current royal family was in power the city was moving to an electoral system. Deposing the ruling class of Icy Icy just became a little sweeter. Also Kammie found an artefact of her deity and made sure it stayed out of the hands of a knight of Kord. 🖤This game lately has me thinking so many ways on how the stories we tell and the stories we see can shape our worlds and give us places to act out power we might not have in daily life. I hope you’ve been finding new stories and reshaping your view of the world and what it could be. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
Haven’t drawn in a bit, did this for a pal, be s Haven’t drawn in a bit, did this for a pal, be sure to swipe. There’s a whole hella lot going on right now, from BLM to pride to working to defund the police, but guess what, thanks to the carceral state we live in it’s all connected. You’ve hopefully been spending this time learning some truths and expanding the range of folks you follow. What’s as important is supporting the people who are teaching you, monetarily if you can. Not just in lump sums when an insta story reminds you to but finding ways to keep uplifting and supporting these voices. Same as following more Black folks, more queer and trans folks so their work is in your feeds, find ways like recurring donations or supporting Patreons, because they’re not just doing this work when you see it, they’re living it. Find your marathon pace, find the creators who bring you joy.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, Varn In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, Varna goes on a date with Wendy and they talk about dismantling power structures (which they’re both better at doing than being on a date). The next day, the group begins their actions to empty the pockets of the ruling class by finding the royal vault. 🖤 I hope everyone is finding and keeping their pace, this fight doesn’t stop. Black lives matter, defund and abolish the police, look at the media you make and consume and examine how it reflects the world you live in and what you want the world to be. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, the In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, the teens finished up Majority Night and readied for castle infiltration. In our game, the police are a problem, because that’s a truth to us that even the wildest fantasy can’t soften. I hope if you didn’t realise the extent of the poison beating though the heart of the prison-industrial complex and how the police are the hands of a system designed to punish the Other, then maybe you got the idea this week. The “week of action” may be over but the fight is not. Black Lives Matter. Keep learning. Find your marathon pace because this is for the long haul. Defunding the police is the first step to building a healthy world. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
@mvmnt4blklives has an awesome (colour-coded!) ser @mvmnt4blklives has an awesome (colour-coded!) series of things to do each day of this week as part of this week of action and yes! it’s half through the week but don’t let that stop you. The link on their bio will take you to their page and you can scroll to learn and see what the day’s actions are. There’s really something for each ability level here. They’ve also got local demands, social downloadable and more.

Even though I didn’t use the hashtag, deleted th Even though I didn’t use the hashtag, deleted the black square because it’s better to amplify. Second slide is from @blmlosangeles, here’s their caption: We need everyone to show up...virtually...to tell LAPD that it's about more than #GeorgeFloyd...It's about the 601 of our people killed by police right here in Los Angeles County in the last 7 years. Click that profile link (it’s in my stories too) and show up if you can. From my original post: Black lives matter. Amplify Black voices, hold space, really listen and keep listening. Donate, find ways you can help (it’s not all on the streets, y’all). Stay informed and stay safe. I’ve made a highlight of the resources I’ve been sharing in Stories, they’re LA and PDX specific mostly, but there’s also some good shit to sit with and work on no matter where you are.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the t In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the teens had a peaceful interlude at majority night, where they played arcade games and roller skated, and Kammie might have met her cousins?! Near the end of game we got an alert about curfew starting in a half hour, stay safe all. Fuck cops, Black lives matter. Find moments of peace where you can and know this fight doesn’t stop. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
Doing things to keep my hands busy. Fuck cops, Bla Doing things to keep my hands busy. Fuck cops, Black lives matter, check your privilege and also be taking care of yourself how you can. 🖤 I’ve been posting resources in my stories and if you follow me on Twitter I’ve RT’d some great places for your money to go. Grateful for a job that pays me well enough to donate to bail funds and organising and also for the emotional buoy of our extremely ACAB weekly D&D game. 🖤This is a mini I’m basing out for an exchange with my bestie and I’m theming her on Ever After, which is some deep cut shit.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, the In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, the teens got their motorbrooms, a velour track suit and decimated the guards. Meanwhile, the Fox met the ghost of he person she’s pretending to be. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
