Colored pencils on paper by me.

Didn't know this existed outside of the pre-made ones like Wreck This Journal. I have a lot of trouble recognizing and interpreting my emotions and have found art to be a good outlet of expression and processing.

I'm using doodled pages from different sketchbooks, paper bags, and some used printer paper for the first booklet and am scanning my bookshelves for future materials.

Loving how unconventional and free junk journaling feels.

Y'all, I have had this air plant for a while. I didn't buy it, it just showed up one day. This morning, I was looking over my prop station and saw it has a fascinating growth habit. It seems to have sprouted two new leaves over night.

Do not comment unless it is to give me immense praise!!!!!! Y'all love to be jealous bitches 💅

I was sweeping my porch (including behind the pots and under shelves) the first time since May. Took the door mat to the grass to shake it out and found these transient fuckers squatting on my property! These weeds refused to dislodge, even after the hardest shake.

(Before the cries of "invasive!1!1!1 😖": yes, I put mother of thousands outside during the growing season. it can't survive winter here, I tested it 😝)

Napoleon Bonaparte gave these plants to a Russian whore as child support for his bastard. My grandma smuggled them out of the old country in her hoohah but now it's all dying! I water every third blood moon and give it plenty of hugs and care. They direct sun for 10 minutes in the spring from a recessed skylight.

What am I doing wrong? Help me save these precious family heirlooms!

It started throwing a fit (and itself) reaching for the windows inside so moved it outside a week ago. So much better :) Probably just showing off the leggy stems to show how tree like it is. Such a ham.

(uj/ still deciding whether to stake or chop.)

Wanted to share my collection so far. Discovered the hobby 3 weeks ago.

Have tried to get into tabletop games and DnD in the past but had a lot of trouble socializing with new people and learning/paying attention to a game at the same time.

Thoughts so far:

A Gentle Rain: surprisingly relaxing and meditative. Very easy to play. The tokens and tiles are also really nice to touch.

Cartographers: favorite so far. It seems like it would get repetitive, but it hasn't felt that way. Also pretty relaxing although the deduction of points at the end for solo is pretty humbling when you think you've gotten an awesome score.

Micro Macro Crime City: Love this one a lot. The map is huge with a lot of stuff going on. The cases are fun. The only negatives are I'm worried about replay value once the cases are done although there are expansions, and it can be a bit difficult to see the line art without very bright light. Would be really fun with other people.

Dune Imperium: It's taking time to get into this one. There are a lot of pieces and a lot of things to remember to do; however, it's really fun to pull out and dig into. I've been watching play throughs on YouTube and am excited to figure this one out better.

Carcassonne: Used the solo rules available from the website. Probably better with other people. It's fun, and I like the puzzle aspect with the tiles, but I'm having a really hard time keeping track of whether or not I placed a meeple, if not which color it was supposed to be, whether or not I recorded score for a completed section, etc. Have to get better at keeping track.

The Anarchy: Just got this one yesterday. Spent an hour or two reading the rules and setting it up and a couple of hours playing through with the rules. Didn't finish a game yet, but this one is so good. When I opened it, I thought it would be like Dune. Even though it has more components and the attribute sheets are intense, the Anarchy is crazy engaging. I really love this one already.

Open to suggestions for next games. Some already on the want list are Under Falling Skies, Sprawlopolis, Warp's Edge, and Turing Machine.
