Now that we have kittens coming in, it’s a good time to remind you that we still have several good, deserving and lovely older kittens from last year who are still looking for their homes. Meet them at crits4cats.petfinder.com and apply to adopt! Located in Elkton, MD.

I agree. Go read Discworld.

F*** Harry Potter Go read and watch Hellboy

People who talk about “student behaviors” as if they’ve magically declined without addressing any of the structural inequities in/around education get a side-eye from me. “Student behaviors” is a dog whistle used to justify mistreatment of children from marginalized backgrounds.

If you’re queer and this pops up during your scroll time, just know I’m rooting for your happiness and success. I believe in you 🖤

I need to think about this, especially when it comes to writing and sharing with the writing co-op I'm in.

Down the road I'd still like to do a TTRPG setting that's Street Fighter X Feywild. Characters travel to different domains of delight and take on champions. NPCs and characters have motivations.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle To specify, it'd be Skull-1 not just Rick Hunter's jet.

If we did, we could probably just buy them off with the eggs from our chickens.

Jun Kazama: Instead of trying to find your sister Anna, you should focus on your son. Steve Fox. Nina Williams: Steve Fox isn't my son. Jin Kazama: Steve Fox? That moronic boxer? Nina: That's my son you pothead!

I don't know about clever, but my DM Justin had us interact and rescue some minors at a compound. Among the names of the kids were "Squeaky" and "Tex" and that an old man was resting upstairs, I marked out and asked," Is this Spahn Ranch?" Sadly we didn't get to fight or kill Charlie.

Dallas area: Riggs 🐕 is missing from his firehouse.

I'm the chosen one and I'm the one with all of the stroke around here, and I'm gonna beat up Buff Bagwell in front of his mom. Choke on that you little Slap Nutz.

#FantasyIndiesMaytober 2 Various authors inspire me. Travis Baldree - without L&L there is no Pinegaard, RA Salvatore, Weis and Hickman, Ed Greenwood, the entire Parks and Rec writing staff.

Finally doing the thing I've been putting off but I'm glad I'm doing it. 🦷

#FantasyIndiesMaytober #FantasyIndiesMay 1. Hello I'm Al. My WIP is a cozy fantasy where a local Parks Guild is trying to build a park and they run into different obstacles. Think of it as Parks and Rec set in the Forgotten Realms.

Agatha Christie is one of my favorite writers and an inspiration. I f****** hate this. There are Christie scholars who can give insight on how Agatha wrote. There are prompts and discussions that people can go off of for their own writing. I hope this dies a fast death.

#FantasyIndiesApril 30 I made a lot of progress this month in my WIP and I'm hoping to continue that momentum into May. My goal is to draft Act 3 of my book.

#FantasyIndiesApril 29 Character habits Flint - squints like Shawn Spencer from Psych

#FantasyIndiesApril 28 Ask about my WIP. It's a cozy fantasy where a local Parks Guild is starting a park and they run into obstacles. In a nutshell, it's Parks and Rec in the Forgotten Realms. I probably won't be able to respond until the afternoon. Ask away.

Professional Wrestling - Where Chekov's Gun principle is in full play (if you show an object like a chair, sledgehammer, or even a prosthetic leg, you've got to use it). - You can commit crimes (assault and arson) against someone as long as you're in an storyline with them

Discworld is so much better.

Probably worth saving this number

#FantasyIndiesApril 24 Free Friday - WIP word count is over 22,000 words and I should have more by the end of day, along with finishing Act 2 of my story. Keep pushing folks. Progress is progress.

#SFFCHAT A2 - Flint is the local Parks Guild Deputy Guildmaster so he works to take care the parks and greenspace. It stems from growing up an orphan and the parks being happy memories for him. He's also in-tune with nature and respects it. If this were DND, he'd be a dragoborn paladin/ranger.
