@kate only one bites

@runpunkrun i’d be interested in hearing how it works out!

@runpunkrun the NYT has a marshmallow cookie recipe i’ve been meaning to try ( https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1024782-mexican-hot-chocolate-cookies ) which recommends freezing the marshmallows solid to reduce the melting issues. So perhaps they do something similar for their photos? Tho why not just include it in the recipe as a tip in that case….

@rowyn aww our little rock friend is so diligent!

@rowyn (no art?)

@pagrus was this inspired by a particularly good or poor example?

@lookitmychicken congrats!!

@ryfulets it really does make you wonder what it was about them that snagged so many of their friends imaginations in such a specific way

@twistylittlepassages i feel like my wis/int/cha are all high enough to get by—don’t have great strength and my dex is…lets say narrowly applied and while a free boost to either might be *nice* i don’t think it’s quite as important as remediating my terrible con (which also gets in the way of doing the things which would build strength and dex naturally)

@TheGentleKlingon metatext!

@Cyborgneticz @negative12dollarbill the UN and Amnesty international reports (or media coverage of those, if you need something more accessible) are also good “official” sources on what happened:

@kate …which of the many civil wars in which Obi Wan has been implied to have banged at least one of the leaders are you referring to

@Lady if the bible belt was perfectly synonymous with southern there’d have been no need to invent the term
