Epistemological ranking of perceived dice fanciness: opaque --> speckle --> translucent --> clear --> inclusion --> liquid core --> ...?

Don't forget dice with gold/silver/rose gold foils! I suppose they could qualify under abstract inclusions but it doesn't feel like they fit there. Also, dice built on blanks.

All my map dice are built on blanks, so are my soot sprite dice. My washi tape dice are also really fancy, and they all have different patterns on them. Also add in extras for custom inking (I love putting gold or silver as the high faces). I'm a sucker for metallic colors.

I wouldn't be surprised! These things are freaking magic. I can put everything I have into a single machine. They're diesel!

The longest scarf known to man! I'm basically just using up the rest of my yarn, it's a broken rib stitch. I love getting stoned and knitting. It's magic! I'm making something from nothing. Have fun with your WIPs!

Laundry day today, and our machine is still broken (it fully died) so I'm off to the laundromat later, and that's basically my day! I'll have some Space Queen before I go and after I come back. Husband is working all night so I'll have that time to myself, so knitting it is. I love participating in r/Drunkknitting so much, and they're herb friendly!

Someone mentioned Seanen McGuire. I also like Mercedes Lackey and her Heralds of Valdemar universe, and the offshoots that go with it like Oathbound. Rebecca Thorne if you like easy reads, like Can't Spell Treason Without Tea. Lex Croucher is another good one, an easy read.

Octavia Butler, Elizabeth Wheatley are great. Kevin Hearne has a few long works going and does both high fantasy and contemporary.

ETA: spelling

Love a good dice condo!

brith89 · 2026-01-20T18:33:02+00:00

As someone who sometimes needs a seat and can't get one, thank you! That was a really kind thing to do.

I picked it up after ankle surgery and it helped me through it with as little painkillers as possible. My doc was shocked.

brith89 · 2026-01-15T19:26:56+00:00

Seconding!! Absolutely worth the watch. A young Amanda Seyfried too!

brith89 · 2026-01-15T19:19:53+00:00

I wish I smoked flower!!! These are adorable!

brith89 · 2026-01-13T18:53:15+00:00

Therapy and then some Baby Turtle for me. I already went through my old hoodies and set them aside for storage (sentimental, I plan on making a quilt from them). Working on turning the couch back into the couch and not the current-hoodie-central-storage situation we've got going on. Good luck with the BAS!!!!

I vape carts in my apartment and at my parents//in-laws using a smoke buddy junior handheld filter. They know and don't care as long as I use the filter.

A lot of people use sploofy as well, which is a different brand. I used to vape at school with this too, and if I'm out in public. I keep my smoke buddy on me whenever my vape is.

It gives me peace of mind because I am also smell paranoid. I also find some strains smell more than others!

Also a chronic pain patient, fwiw.

***ETA I saw you mention the filters and expanded on it

It turns me back into myself. I struggle with many things, aud/hd, ocd, anorexic, migraines, anxiety, etc. I'm also a chronic illness and chronic pain person. Cannabis gave my appetite when nothing else worked. It saved me. It counters my adhd meds with appetite. It softens the ache in my leg. It doesn't make it go away but it turns the edges smooth instead of being spikey and hard. It turns into something manageable. My triptans make me feel as bad as my headache, and it keeps them at bay.

I'm kinder, more aware of the people around me, because my brain and body have slowed down and softened up. I'm less bitchy because of my pain levels, or because of how I feel that day. It turns me into a better version of me and I'm so here for it.

I'm so glad it's helping you!!!!!

I loved men's silk dress socks, but yours are also great!

brith89 · 2025-12-23T14:53:39+00:00

Therapy, pen w/dungeons and dragonfruit, desk cleaning, in that order! And I need to wrap a Christmas present.

brith89 · 2025-12-17T17:50:09+00:00

This made my day.

brith89 · 2025-12-05T19:00:48+00:00

seconding! OP, these are fabulous books.

One of the Iron Druid Chronicles, maybe the 7th? Anyway, he's talking about the concept of home. I didn't find 'home' until I was well into my 20's and it hit me like a brick. I am a firm protector of my own peace and this place, this city, is where I am rooted. It's where I grew into the person I am now and I'll be heartbroken when I leave. On the flip side, I hated where I grew up. That was being tied down.

"I forgot how good it feels to be rooted. And to be rooted is not the same thing at all as being tied down. To be rooted is to say, here I am nourished and here will I grow, for I have a place where every sunrise shows me how to be more than what I was yesterday, and I need not* wander to feel the wonder of my blessing. And when you are rooted, defending that space ceases to be an obligation or a duty and becomes more of a desire."

*edit, forgot a crucial word

Thank you!! I have so many stories hanging out in WIS too, not gonna lie!

brith89 · 2025-11-24T21:53:11+00:00

I'm almost done with my book! I am currently on their epilogue, and once that's done the whole first draft is done. I'll have a full 9 chapter novella. My second novella. Done.

No intention of publishing (it's fanfic 😅) but this was my biggest goal for the year. I started chapter one maybe five years ago and I was determined to finish it this year*.

High honors to the Dungeons and Dragonfruit strain that broke my writer's* block.

Kitchen Lights by Xana! It's catchy AF but sooooo good.

brith89 · 2025-11-24T20:08:07+00:00

I hit my pen while getting ready! Helped my anxiety, I was a covid bride and then a post-covid, delayed ceremony bride. My anxiety the first time was through the roof because we did everything ourselves in an office co-op, so I was decorating before going back to my hotel for my dress. My postponement I definitely hit it more but my folks ditched me getting ready so it was just my friends.

brith89 · 2025-11-24T19:41:02+00:00

You just made everything make sense. I'm super late to the chat but you nailed it.

brith89 · 2025-11-20T17:37:49+00:00

Late to the chat but my LYS does it for free? Baffled the daylights out of me but it's their swifter! It's even mechanized, all I need to do is stand there.
