Fresh From The ‘Gram

Various pics from the past couple of weeks. Bobcat Various pics from the past couple of weeks. Bobcat Fire is pretty close but we’ve been just outside the level one warning area and although we’ve had some pretty heavy smoke days we’ve mostly stayed out of the “purple.” Grateful for our CSA, random lizards, and all the wonderful people I know and worry about while we send each other shitposts as a love language and check in with each other.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, a sp In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives, a speech by one of the candidates is interrupted by a monster battle, The Oath is chided while at knifepoint, and the town gains a new member in the shape of the monster who’d attacked, after he was released from work bondage. 🖤The candidate making the speech was a halfling who was pretty hateful against the undead and fey and his interrupted speech was about how much the town had changed and how he just wanted to get things back to “normal.” It’s pretty well established in this game that things like magic, monsters, and the undead have always been a part of the town of Friend, this guy was just mad that he couldn’t ignore them anymore. Lol, too bad, buddy. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives

In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the n In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the new members of Friend start to settle in while the districts and candidates for the council elections get hashed out. Also, Raven Queen is “the cool mom.” 🖤 As the whole council election gears up in our game I am thinking about how voting doesn’t solve everything but can make a big difference at local level. This is the time of year I check in regularly to make sure I’m still registered, and start taking notes to reference for when the ballots arrive. If you haven’t voted by mail before, I’m excited for you! Every state is different but places like @votesaveamerica are a good start for learning what you need to know. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
Love these earrings from @que_rrrica and how light Love these earrings from @que_rrrica and how light but present they feel when they’re on and how good they swing. A gift for myself after two years at the best job I’ve ever had (and, hiding in the back there, a gift for somebody that they gotta wait for winter for). 💖
End of the month means dumping photos from my phon End of the month means dumping photos from my phone. Thankful for our car, that allows us long drives at night and not feeling so caught. Grateful for things like at-home concerts, which fit my needs better anyway. Amazed always that, some few years after buying a TAP card during my first visit to LA, we managed moving to a place that feels more like home than the PNW ever did. 💖 Ive shared this before, but one of the kindest people I’ve ever known told me once (paraphrased) “one day you’ll wake up [in your dream home] and realise you’d been there longer than you’d [ever been in a bad situation.]” I think about it a lot, especially when I come across these momentos from an old life.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the g In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the gnoll who was basically mayor of Friend announced her plans to step down at the end of the year and Reives published an opinion piece in the paper (run by the gnomes) that maybe a council of representatives would be a better match for Friend’s unique demographics. Also, the ship arrived home from Icy Icy, bringing some new faces. Meanwhile, the silver dragons of Friend have arrived at Icy Icy’s beaches to welcome the return of the recently hatched Drok, the triumvirate dragon deity. 🖤 The fires made internet spotty last week so we had to skip a game but we’re back and happily soaking in this messy wonderful world we’ve built. Strength and love, y’all, these times keep getting tougher and we need to support our communities through it. . . #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives #dnd
Won this mask in one of @gatasalvajemerch3’s Pat Won this mask in one of @gatasalvajemerch3’s Patreon raffles! Sparkly ACAB is my eternal mood. By supporting her on Patreon not ONLY do I get all those cool Patreon benefits like seeing how things get made and voting on designs, I got the chance to win this suuuper soft face mask (that actually fits my nose!). ✨Earrings are @honeybgold Icee Iridescent Hoops and they weigh, but god I love ‘em.
I can’t get over how you can just DRY things her I can’t get over how you can just DRY things here. Every week, new herbs come in our CSA (which picks from a group of gardens all over the area we live in), they’re hung to dry on the altar and then the next week, fresh dried herbs for meals. We’ve been getting lemon verbena and garden sage and as the seasons change I look forward to seeing what else there is. I hope you’re also finding ways of building new habits, finding ways to create structure and a framework to build life on.
Never shared on the grid this sweet baby who snuck Never shared on the grid this sweet baby who snuck inside through the gap under the door to get away from the smoke and then got sassy the next morning when there was no bug continental breakfast. I actually love when crickets and lizards get inside because it’s so, so, SO much better than the things we dealt with in Portland. Grumpy lizards and panicked loud crickets are a joy, especially now, to break up the days.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives we ✨solved a murder mystery✨ one was done by a ghost protecting the neighbourhood, the other was a hit put out by one of the minor deities Reives has stabbed before. The gnomes more or less helped with investigations but I don’t think they took useful notes. 🖤 Speaking of the gnomes our wonderful DM recently sent us miniatures of Scratch and Dobby, ending a mail-filled week. The disruption of the USPS by a government who wants to undermine all systems of support is infuriating but keep pushing at your representatives to do their jobs and also look to local actions to support the postal service. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives

In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives we wr In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives we wrapped up our tale with the teens on Icy Icy, who are leaving the city with a better government than they found it. Kammie is staying behind to take care of the eggs that might hold her gods, while Varna joins Skirt in returning to Friend. The little port town is settling into a more stable routine, other than Gramf poisoning himself via mushroom farming and both he and Reives being drafted to investigate some recent murders. 🖤 Only a month has passed in-game but we started this side story at the end of March and there’s been interesting parallels to how much has changed in our little game’s world and in the world we live in. I’ve said it before, but may the world never return to the “normal” so many were content to float in. Forward to better. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
New month, emptying out the photos on my phone, wh New month, emptying out the photos on my phone, which is mostly True Blood screencaps gathered to send at friends with no context. I updated the highlight of artists I’m following and love! Gonna try and be better about keeping up on that. Of course, the highlights about anti-racist daily work, tips and info on our carceral state are updated regularly as well. I like making collections of information.
Getting some good vibes in the mail from @growmija Getting some good vibes in the mail from @growmija, the sticker went right on my desk (since my laptop is fully covered) and I cannot get over how good the sparkles on this print are! ✨💖They’re subtle until they’re very not.
In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the h In this session of Dungeons, Dragons & Dives the heist was successful and, with the help of Mr. Dark the wyvern, the royal treasury was looted while the king was killed and Kammie brought divine smite upon a knight of Kord who was also a bitch. 🖤 There is something deeply satisfying about playing a game where you steal more money than anyone could spend in a lifetime to redistribute among the groups and people who will be leading a city into a fairer and more free age. Every week, I get this wonderful reminder that the stories we tell each other and ourselves shape how we see the world. Black lives matter, fuck 12, the work keeps happening every day so keep that marathon pace. . . #dnd #dungeonsanddragons #dungeonsdragonsanddives
Ahh! Got our first order from @huarachefarms today Ahh! Got our first order from @huarachefarms today! I’ve wanted to be in a place financially and schedule-wise where we could do a CSA for ages so this is basically a dream come true. ✨🌿✨ So many delicious new-to-me leaf pals and some things for both meals and altar. Supporting local farms is the shit!

There’s so much good info out there right now! If you check out my highlights I’ve split up the resources I’ve been finding into three sections, see my last post for details.
