Focus on what is said when you speak and what results from each action. Know what the one aims at, and what the other means.

“The whole way that The Fifth Season RPG works is different than a lot of games, because one of the key aspects of the whole series is that to survive these cataclysmic Fifth Seasons, you need community.”

I am so excited about this.

Just watched The Last of Us.

So, I’ll just be sitting here in silence processing for a few hours.

🎲 Fantastic D&D session tonight.

We all showed up a little tired. Two of our party reeling from heavy burdens in ‘real life.’

We showed up, though. And all left feeling better.

Camaraderie, creativity, and killing trolls. Magic combination.

👋 Good morning (or afternoon, or evening).

I enjoy this community so much. Can dip in anytime for thoughtful discussions, great photos, friendly banter, interesting/cool stuff, and lovely snippets of daily life from all over. I think of everyone here as a friend.

“Don’t believe what you think.
Have questions, not answers.
Doubt everything.
The easiest person to fool is yourself.”

I love dishes that easily combine with or turn into other dishes. Ex: a very simple fresh broccoli salad. We ate it as a side one night. Leftovers mixed with gnocchi and roasted tomatoes for dinner. Today, the last bit + brown rice + leftover chicken + mozzarella for lunch.
