Tsuro is always our go-to short game for when folks are getting to game night and getting into the mood. We also like to play Uno at the end of the night when our brains are fried or Jackbox.

Neverwinter Nights and Roller Coaster Tycoon when I was a little kid. I watched my dad play Neverwinter and had to indulge in my own tiny fantasy to play as a “dragon.” Still at it.

I always go for a druid-type in games (I have a druid of the coast in a 5e game and now a moon druid in BG3) and I too am frustrated that I can’t really do spells while Bear. But it’s okay, because I am Bear.

Consider your possible “cures” in the same way humans “cure” their blindness. If your dragon has cataracts, surgery could be an option if you could find a vet willing, able, and trained to do it. But if this is a natural degredation from age, there is no “cure.”

It was a battle between my queer identity and my biologist identity. For regular browsing and posting, science won out. But I have an account with blajah.zone too to discuss the queer agenda.

I consider myself a people, and I prefer my body jewelry to be gold if I can afford it. A few pieces are gold-colored anodized titanium (which are fading), but very prominent pieces are solid gold. I like yellow gold, not rose gold. I actually think titanium/“silver” looks more tacky than gold.

But that’s just for pieces of jewelry that go into my body. For bracelets and such, I prefer brass, leather, and shades of brown. I don’t wear necklaces.

Gold cars are disgusting though.

I too use peanut oil for cooking nearly everything. So cheap.

Same with me and Catan. I generally do not like resource-hoarding “competitive” games anyway, and Catan did not help that.

I definitely have my fair share of close crops, especially herps! I also posted a close crop (because it was just that close) of a brown-capped rosy finch to the wildlife photography community today too.

I like to leave some habitat because I find it adds interest and complexity to a photo. Plus, sometimes the birb no longer appears smol if so focused in the photo! I’ve gotten more comfortable with even more distant shots of birbs, too–sometimes I can make raptors look illegally smol.

The gain and then subsequent slashing of human rights based on fascist beliefs and lack of representation (and possibly over representation by fringe groups that capture the news cycle). Across the world, populism and fascism is gaining in popularity - again. It felt like we’d gotten past this point for a minute.

They have “teeth” in the same way some birds have “teeth.” For tortoises, there are some pointy bits on the beak that function similar to our teeth, but they do not fall out like ours often do. It’s just for pulling leaves off of plants in arid environments. Again, some birds have “teeth” almost like this, but they function more like filters for birds that sort through mud and water to find food.

Thanks, appreciate the compliments!

That community didn’t seem too active. I’m trying to boost inactive communities, but that’s too niche for me, lol. I only have ~checks notes~ 23 species photographed!

There is not yet enough content for your sort selection to really matter. I sort by new because at least I’ll see more content as stuff is posted throughout the day.

Adorable! Yeah, I saw like 8 or so of these guys that one night. Their mannerisms are amusing. These were in dry forest too though just outside the main part of town.

Oh, not that I know of. I was being facetious. I’m in some FB groups for tarantula keepers though, and they feel like their spiders recognize them. Admittedly, I don’t know as much about arthropod behavior as I do for vertebrates.

A lot of tarantulas on this island do tend to inhabit burrows directly next to roads though. I’m not sure if it’s about prey availability or what. I didn’t see as many tarantulas in the forests.

My plants are (mostly) loving the sunshine! Plant lights can only do so much.

Those are ADORABLE. Maybe my next post will be some baby tarantulas trying to figure out how to cross a road (I hear tarantula moms aren’t into childcare like SOME arachnids…).

I love it too. I’m used to it, as a biologist, but it’s still cool to see. We never see them in that way.
