I played Blue Prince for a long time, currently taking a break because it's incredibly mentally taxing.
Been playing the Iron Oath a lot lately. It's a tactics game with permadeath and feels D&D inspired, it has a few issues but nothing game-breaking.
Board games, I'm always playing Betrayal at House on the Hill, but we also tried Call to Adventure recently and that was pretty fun, would like to give it another go and get the hang of it.

Jacarandas. They're a big deal in the town where I was born, and they always remind me of home and my grandparents who have now passed. Plus they're just beautiful.

I don't usually take my wallet with me since most things are on my phone now, but if I need to it goes in my back right pocket unless I'm sitting down. My phone goes in my right pocket and my keys go in my left.
If I'm wearing cargo pants I might put my wallet in a lower pocket. I should get cargo pants.
Shoulder bag, everything goes in the bag except my phone (unless I'm doing something where I shouldn't be looking at my phone, then it also goes in the bag.
Two pockets, my wallet would go in my left pocket with my keys.
Jacket doesn't affect where things go, jacket pockets are for my hands. Although sometimes when wearing my hoodie my phone goes in the hoodie pocket.

I'm not an artist, I don't really draw, but I wanted to try my hand at this. Constructive criticism is welcome, but please be gentle.

My bros I met when I was working at KFC about 18 years ago.
One is an extrovert who adopted me because I was sitting and reading alone in the break room on his first day and who is happy to advise me when I struggle.
The other is another introvert who sometimes goes AWOL for weeks or months but I know always has my back in the end and I can tell him anything.
Lately we've been trying to get together every month at least for my mental health and it has been amazing.
Somewhat recently (about 9 years ago I think) one of them gained a partner who's been an amazing addition to our little found family.
All of us have abusive parents, so we're all each other's family.

I would cycle through them based on my wins/losses, but the castle was my favourite

My dad has had flu-like symptoms ending in a lingering cough that went away for about a week before coming back with a vengeance. He finally got diagnosed last week, parainfluenza RNA. Maybe look into that? Lot of people been sick with something flu-like lately.
He's also not contagious and the doctor only gave him an asthma puffer because he was having trouble breathing recently but mostly he's just been taking cough mixture to reduce the symptoms.

If you scroll down a bit there's a version with a legend

 

I got this tattoo near the end of last year, and I feel like the text has become a sort of personal mantra this year, especially with everything happening around the world and the attempts to erase us LGBTQ+ people. I'm not dead. We're not dead. I won't lay down and give up. Granny Weatherwax would fight, and so shall I. I shall keep living my life.

 

My partner and I are in a long distance relationship, we've been together for 5 years. From the start, the plan was that I would move there, but he didn't start the application because he wanted to get a stable job (he was working when we met but quit around 2022 when they expected everyone to move from remote back to on-site).
Last year he told me that if Trump gets in he'd move here instead (he's American). My family expressed doubts about his sincerity, so I confirmed with him multiple times and he insisted.
Now he's saying that he never thought Trump would actually get in, so I shouldn't have taken him seriously. We fought about it and when I said he went back on his word he says I went back on mine since I haven't moved there yet and am now saying I don't want to because of everything happening and I don't feel safe (I'm trans, and even if I wasn't foreigners aren't being treated well from what I've heard).
He's now saying he doesn't want to leave his mom, which is fair, but I feel conflicted about it all. I feel like he's broken my trust, but he's adamant he didn't lie because he never actually expected this to happen.
He also thinks everything is being exaggerated and isn't really as bad as I think it is, especially where he is on the west coast. He says it's safe there, but I wonder for how long. He says if it gets worse we can move here, but how can I trust that? I feel like he's burying his head in the sand (he responded that I'm burying my head in the sand) and ignoring how bad it's going to be, but maybe he's right and I'm stressing too much? At the start of the year he agreed with me about how bad it is but now he doesn't seem to think it's that bad.
Mostly I just want advice I guess, an outside perspective. I don't know how to feel and I'm conflicted about it all.

 
 

I see a lot of communities hosted on hexbear.net on trending but when I click the link it says there's nothing there. Why is this the case? I'm using the Voyager app, but I' not sure if that has anything to do with it. Is there a way to make them visible?
