Imagining a little keyboard block that snaps into the playdate and just losing my mind https://www.theverge.com/23068657/playdate-pocket-planner-app-hands-on-personal-organizer
The "budget" table is $700, the dining table topper is $320, you can buy matching chairs for $200 each and there's no pictures of the chairs at ALL
Our dining room table is a slab of pressed wood I got at a lumber yard, finished and put on four pin legs so we might want to upgrade at some point. I started looking at those gaming tables that convert into dining room tables and you can really tell how much they are aimed at rich nerds based on how few photographs of the actual tables there are on the website

how come I can just disgorge this stuff at will but when it's actually time to write it down seriously I have no ideas? https://twitter.com/markpopham/status/1231233833191825409?s=20&t=TkCt2StIqrzqHzrJFQZT_Q

The funny thing is this is all based on a bit I kept doing on birdsite about an evil wizard
If anyone missed it last night, I've launched a BBS (yes, an old-school BBS, text interface, you access it via telnet) to act as a chill social hangout for #trans folk.
Since it just went live, it's very small, but if we can grow it into a cozy little community, I think it could be pretty great.
If you're interested in the details, contact me directly.
Boosts are also appreciated!
fantasy world building
but that is, like. Boring. And there are parts of this that lend themselves to a world that is a bit more ornate. I'm still on a Vancian kick and I sort of feel like that sort of cruel world divided between weird mannered stuff and just chaos wilderness would be a good fit. But my brain hasn't really grasped the perimeters of that world yet

For the last little bit ive been planning out - and uh writing a VERY little - a fantasy novel, god knows if I'll ever actually write the entire thing. I'm casually thinking about trying to do nanowrimo if only to force myself to shape up my outline and intro chapters. Originally I had planned it to be in a kind of bog-standard "contemporary idea of medieval England but with wizards" world...
yard stuff
A friend of mine who moved upstate is a professional gardener/went to school for prairie restoration so I'm going to get the soil tested, figure out light exposure, etc., over the summer and hopefully be able to plant stuff in the fall
yard stuff
So the house we are in the process of buying has a small front and back yard, and already we're getting pretty excited about it - we've never had a yard before. The plan is to (eventually) turn the front entirely to a native pollinator garden and the back to a garden in one corner and the rest native grasses/sedge where tree roots keep turf from growing, if that works. I'm trying to read up on it but it feels like the websites I'm finding assume a level of basic gardening knowledge
