Stopping of for petrol at 5am on the way to work — perfectly normal behaviour. Finding someone using the car wash at 5am — excuse me, Sir, what on earth are you doing

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Eleven A translucent light blue percentile with neat silver numbers. I enjoy the narrow elegance of these numbers, and silver is the perfect accompaniment to the blue, like clouds high above

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Ten A plastic d10 that doesn’t look like anything special, but that lights up when rolled. Considering the electronics inside, this is a surprisingly light die

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Nine A green die with glitter inclusions, so it’s very sparkly! It almost looks like a very dense nebula, although there’s probably not any coffee inside

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Eight Another metal die, this one with very simple numbers based on an eight- section LCD display. I like the sharpness & clarity provided by the black inking.

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Seven A metal d10, with some lovely rainbow colours! I also have some bonus photos showing the pins on my dice bag.

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Six A metal d6, well worn on the edges, mostly due to being jostled in the bag along with its neighbours. I quite like metal dice, they are comforting in their solidity

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day five A metal percentile die with lovely deep embossing for the numbers. I’m very fond of the use of lower case numbers that add a touch of traditional class.

If more people read Maus perhaps the world would be nicer. It really should be required reading.

Dice a Day Every day a new die! Day Four A clear translucent d10 that is given a wonderful yellow glow by the inclusion of a tiny duck deep inside. The duck looks a little distorted in photos, and I’m afraid to say the effect is just as prominent in person

I’m getting so goddamn tired of all this. This and all the scrubbing of Transgender from every government website is the modern day equivalent of Nazi book burning and it’s unacceptable in a supposedly “free country” such as the USA. Trans women threw the first bricks #Stonewall #TransLivesMatter

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Three A black d20, this one slightly dusty. I love how the light shines off the left-hand side, bringing tones of gold.

Currently at 20/34 short stories for my book “condensed.” So far I’ve removed 1,446 words. We’re not going to talk about the 2,587 words I’ve added.

I’m listing to an album I’ve not listened to in years, thinking about how it feels so familiar. But the lack of skipping due to scratches in the CD feels wrong — those skips and judders are just as much a part of album as anything else. I miss those skips :(

I’ve just written what might possibly the most British thing I’ve ever written: ‘I’m broken inside. I’m all messed up. I’ve fucked up, I’ve ruined lives, I’m a terrible person.’ ‘But you are going to get better. Everyone here was broken once. Come on, have some tea. Tea makes everything better.’

I just spent an hour procrastinating the wrong way. Instead of sitting down & relaxing I accidentally swept all the rugs & dusted the living room.

Dice a Day, every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day Two A translucent d12 with white numbers. I love the way the light bounces around inside this die, letting highlights fall onto the background.

Dice a Day Every day a new die! #Dice #TTRPG #DnD Day One A green percentile with gold numbering. For some reason this always reminds me of a sports team.

I just spent half an hour trying to get a scene to work, getting the dialogue to explain why a character is so angry. Then I remembered that they’re the POV for the scene so I can just explain their emotions. Sometimes overthinking is just horrible.

I sat down for five minutes to enjoy some coffee before working on my book (I’m hoping to finalise a 3rd chapter today!) but this little void had other plans. It took him ages to stop spinning & kneading, but now he’s relaxed I’d feel like a monster if I disturbed him.

This is the start of a *very* slippery slope, one that ends up in a large pile of shit…

With fourteen short stories now edited & condensed to remove any padding I’ve managed to remove 1,324 words from my book! (Please don’t look at the 2,047 words that I’ve added)

No flags ironed until all fly free! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🏴‍☠️ I don’t iron my Pride flags, and I never will, not until all my queer siblings can fly freely the flags they have to keep bundled up & hidden away in the back or a wardrobe or under a mattress. No-one has equality until we all have equality!
