Making DND Monsters Scary - Tip #1 @annethegnome.bsky.social shares excellent ideas for all the #dnd players and dungeon masters out there. Check it out here: youtube.com/shorts/fb7fk...
All these people, connecting with a ghost. It feels so sad. Like I failed them, ignoring them pouring their hearts out. Does my impersonator try to sell them things? Use their trust in me against them? Does my ghost hurt them? What a strange digital world we inhabit. We make new sins every day.
I know it’s toxic but I spent a half hour reading comments on my stolen TikToks & watching people develop parasocial relationships with a … mirage ? … of me — talking to a person who never saw their message, finding connections btw videos posted out of order, arguing with each other in the comments-
It's already been a major lifestyle upgrade! I love the city, but it's not a good fit for me, and being able to walk out my door directly into a forest is very good for my brain :) But alas, I still live in reality.
Cutie! He's just a baby!
The twitch auto-thumbnail for this episode is iconic
The worst part of having packed up my life in the city to live amongst the trees & moss is that I can no longer flippantly say “fuck this bullshit I’m running away to live in the woods“ — I did, and it turns out there is still bullshit 😭 But significantly more mushrooms, so still a win.

The internet is so surreal. New facebook imposter popped up, stealing my TikToks. One of those videos, Punkey Doodles animated as a short (I'm clearly credited). And the comments (on my stolen video) are full of people accusing me of stealing Punkey Doodle's audio without credit.
It’s meeeeee talking about scary monsters!

Also I'm incredibly biased but I think this just might be the best game. An RP forum, where my personal is myself as an angsty teen, and we're collecting creating the mythos of a band's 15 mins of fame?? Incredible.
This 🥀

NEW SHOW ANNOUNCEMENT!! 📣 Introducing SOAPBOX GAME MECHANICS: the fastest game jam around. ~90 minutes~ to design & playtest a tabletop game! Hosted by me & @thismaybegraham.bsky.social Tech production by @jienbirb.bsky.social We a special guest dragged into this madness every episode!
My therapist: Mufasa Jien @jienbirb.bsky.social isn’t real, they can’t hurt you. Me seeing this:
okay, anne and graham are two of my favorite people, so this is VERY exciting
Strong contender for my favorite promo graphic of the year
thank you so much DID YOU SEE THE ANIMATED VERSION!?
SHUCKS ☺️ (it's very exciting) (i'm so friggin stoked)
it's so much fun!!!
This looks extremely up my alley!
Also @jienbirb.bsky.social is a giant sky entity bc *we* can hear them during the show but y'all can't, so it's just like we're getting prophecies or something, and we instantly took to refering to our wonderful tech producer as a god or ghost 👻
I made an animated version!!
I had to scrunch up REAL SMALL (my laundry basket in NOT LARGE) but it was worth it!
Graham unironicall loves this version better 😂
My thoughts exactly!!! This is peak hubris but I SWEAR IS WORKS KINDA!
If you want to support the show & submit prompts for us to design off, you can subscribe at www.patreon.com/AllMyFriendsAreStories And paying membera can watch the SUPER BONUS TEST RUN EPISODE with Ryan Khan @trueryankhan.bsky.social -- where we created a FANTASTIC GAME called Emo Girl Boots

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered. And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.
It would be awkward if I were being Peruvian on main….
How old were you when you got your first digital camera? How many of the pictures you took that year could you locate now? Now imagine, instead of your personal pictures, it's everything humanity has done since the dot com boom 😭
I'm watching #startrek TNG for the first time and live reacting -- I'm on season 7 episode 3: Interface Engage 🚀
I love personal archives 💕
Not to be Italian on main, but a really good tomato can change your life. Bad tomato? Chunky dishwater Good tomato? Ambrosia
It’s too much. I’m gonna go watch Star Trek.
Tech is great. I love tech. But we need to devote energy and resources to thinking long term. We're writing our history on an etch-a-sketch.

Our digital material is everything: heritage, personal stories, science, history, and art. Oh no. 54% of English Wikipedia articles have a dead link in the references. Oh no. An unpowered external hard drive lasts 3-10 years. Oh no. 80% of scientific data are lost within two decades. Oh no oh no
The thing about digital archives is that it's important you don't spend too much time thinking about the devastatingly ephemeral nature of digital material or it feels like watching a pixelated Library of Alexandria burning before your eyes
YESSSS I love White Bat!!!
Is it? It seems to be an AI video generation and editing software.
This strat might be the best one -- just buy an album that fits the vibe.
I need to download it, though :( I used to be able to rip from YT but idk, I think they finally managed to stop us from doing that lol
lmk if I can help!!!
Trying!!!
YESSSSS I BELIEVE IN YOOOOUUUUUU
It’s both embarrassing & gender-affirming that no tattoo artist has ever accused me of sitting well
I'm live on twitch, chatting TTRPG shows, post-production, video editing, and general yappery :) twitch.tv/gnome_anne
You’ll love it!! its so cute 🥰
A perfect song 🤩
I said what I said.
I got smoked out of my hammock time BUT I still got to read this perfect candy book It’s A Knight’s Tale, but even gayer 🤩
This is my opinion, but it's also factually correct.
Also see: I love GMs who say “No”
Thanks for sharing. This is beautiful!
One thing in this video that I did not know is that fungi make clouds? and contribute to rainfall??? I need to investigate because that's WILD
YAY YAY YAY YAY this is such a good explainer of fungi!! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FqF...
Can't wait to start my new life as a jock
The Heart is a Dungeon is an incredible show and community, and Rahrah is a truly lovely person. If you have a few bucks to spare, help out our friendly neighbourhood poet and hero 💚
This is painfully true. I adore crew: they are rare and beautiful.
My brain is FULL & it needs to veg so I’m hoping to spend my Saturday in a hammock reading fluff — can I get some candy-read recs? Acceptable recs: cozy fantasy, urban fantasy (not too grim), smut, adventure (not grim), romcom Unacceptable: horror, anything that requires me to remember lore

So great being on this panel! Go watch!
So last Pax U someone—having no idea who I was— enthusiastically explained to me how excited they were for the next Roseville Beach book because they were absolutely certain it would be about Roseville Beach after 1979. Dear reader...
… this is literally my family. 🤌🤌
Yes!! But as a librarian, I’m likely biased

There are tons of wonderful trans voice training resources online for free! You can use terms like "masculine voice training" or "voice training ftm". Trans voice lab has a course www.transvoice-lab.com and they offer private lessons (I don't know much about them, but I've heard of them before)
that's funny, because my systems are becoming more analog as my life becomes more digital. I just don't want to look at screens a moment longer than I have to 😅
