i love love love origins and da2, i have da2 tattoos, but i don’t know if I’d really recommend them. dai is overambitious and less well written than the other 2. I would give them all a shot but not feel bad about bouncing off the combat and graphics of any of them.

I haven’t seen official sourcing on it yet but apparently a QAnon guy got suspended for posting notoriously bad child sexual abuse materials and then Musk reinstated the account. I’m frankly afraid to look it up because I don’t want to see the materials. https://twitter.com/faineg/status/1684329030500098048?t=747mnnSVncGD8OBd0Vhddg&s=19

Hey, remember when the author of this piece falsely accused a political opponent of sexual violence in an attempt to discredit him? I remember!

Yeah, I’m @[email protected]. I’ll probably move off that instance soon though, I got a bunch of trolls recently.

So I take pieces of murrine (glass rods with patterns in them) and position them in a trio shape, then I fire them to about 1450F so they round out and fuse together. Then I let them cool (they go through an annealing phase too but that’s just hanging out at 900 for an hour) and attach a bail (the silver loop) to them.

I had a really difficult weekend and didn’t sleep much last night, but I did sell a piece of jewelry that I’m really proud of yesterday, so that’s a bright spot.

I go to YA when I don’t want to be challenged. I love The Old Kingdom by Garth Nix in particular.

I don’t think pictures are back yet but here’s my fused glass collection!

I’m a jeweler focusing on glass and so I spend a lot of time doodling around while my kiln runs. It’s really nice to work for myself but knowing my work relies on my ability to market it is pretty stressful.
