dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you

  • "jesus christ" "who's that"
  • "this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"
  • referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"
  • adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)
  • "how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."

feel free to add more

Tumblr is known and also spoken of by its user base for its high proportion of lgbt+ users, but I'm curious as to if the lgbt+ user base is actually as large as though or if its just confirmation bias, so...

For fun if you want put how you identify in the tags and the part of tumblr you'd say you're here for

You did all you could to survive your childhood. Nobody could have done it better in your situation. You did the best it was possible with the information available to you at the time. You were good enough. All of it was good enough to keep you alive.

hey a local town actually did this!

they planted berries, root vegetables, leafy greens, herbs, all sorts. they label each plant and the sign said "free to take, leave some for others to enjoy!"

and people did. they took a bit, but left some for others.

it also fed the homeless people living around there.

bearing in mind this is a tourist town, so i half expected to see the plants gone. but nope, there's always some left.

people aren't naturally selfish, and they will share. the initiative works

And honestly? Most people who don't need it won't bother to stop and pick fruit. It's only people who actually need it who will devote the time. People with money still have grocery stores.

I was talking to someone about planting food and fruit trees in public spaces and they were like β€œWhy so everyone can steal the food?”

And I was like β€œSee, that’s the problem right there. Why should taking food off a public tree be stealing?”

"Urban food forest" is something I'm hearing more and more. Do some poking around, there may be an opportunity to help with or start something like this near you.

I live in a region where there are random blackberry brambles just around urban areas.Β  It is bizarre to imagine people thinking picking some fruit is stealing.Β  No one has time or energy or thorn tolerance to pick all the berries.Β  People just grab a handful or too usually in all the places I've lived in two states where this is a thing.

I love the idea of expanding it to more hinds of things.

been thinking a lot about anticipatory grief lately. i love you so much that i know losing you will devastate me. i haven't lost you yet but i already miss you. we still have time, but it won't be enough. i think about what i would say at your funeral, and say some of it to you now cause i need you to know how loved you are before you go. you will go where i cannot follow, but you will never really leave me. it won't make it hurt less but it is a part of healing somehow.

[image description: an excerpt of text that says:

β€œIt’s funny,” I told Flewin.Β β€œWe have an old Nintendo Game Boy floating around the house, and Tetris is the only game we own. My wife will sometimes dig it out to play on airplanes and long car rides. She’s weirdly good at it. She can get 500 or 600 lines, no problem.”

What Flewin said next I will never forget.

β€œOh, my!”

/end id]

TL;DR on the article

The husband was writing an article on classic video game records, was surprised to find out that holding the Tetris record is a bit of a big deal, and mentions how good his wife is at it.

The guy he’s talking to mentions that the record is 327, way lower than his wifes usual scores of 500-600.

They travel to a tournament, and she goes to do her attempt. Just after she beats 327, and is climbing higher, a judge brings up to the husband that the specific version she’s playing actually has a different record of 545.

She overhears that she needs to beat 500-something, and keeps going, setting the record at 841.
