The Setup for my Home D&D game, table was built on New Year’s Eve 2016, with two of my players and myself, the TV is a 40" Samsung smart tv connected to a dell precision 5720 27" 4K touchscreen workstation running Fantasy Grounds to manage campaign details, display maps and use tokens onscreen to represent characters.

Total cost not including the tv or workstation was about $120.

Blessing for the Longest Night

All throughout these months as the shadows have lengthened, this blessing has been gathering itself, making ready, preparing for this night.

It has practiced walking in the dark, traveling with its eyes closed, feeling its way by memory by touch by the pull of the moon even as it wanes.

So believe me when I tell you this blessing will reach you even if you have not light enough to read it; it will find you even though you cannot see it coming.

You will know the moment of its arriving by your release of the breath you have held so long; a loosening of the clenching in your hands, of the clutch around your heart; a thinning of the darkness that had drawn itself around you.

This blessing does not mean to take the night away but it knows its hidden roads, knows the resting spots along the path, knows what it means to travel in the company of a friend.

So when this blessing comes, take its hand. Get up. Set out on the road you cannot see.

This is the night when you can trust that any direction you go, you will be walking toward the dawn.

—Jan Richardson from The Cure for Sorrow: A Book of Blessings for Times of Grief

“As you read a book word by word and page by page, you participate in its creation, just as a cellist playing a Bach suite participates, note by note, in the creation, the coming-to-be, the existence, of the music. And, as you read and re-read, the book of course participates in the creation of you, your thoughts and feelings, the size and temper of your soul.”

— Ursula K. Le Guin (via excessivebookshelf)

Sometimes you just need to go off the grid and get your soul right.

Ooh, lovely thank you @losgunna ! 😊 I shall happily work on this.

PS these are beautiful choices.

PPS I have 30 movies and I'm not done yet? This is so challenging, I'm gonna get somebody....

I was tagged by @thebasildruid and it looks DOPE! So here’s ten gifs from my favorite movies.

I tag @lunam0sity and @marjolijnmakes and anyone else who thinks this looks fun like I did.

(Also I sat in the closet for 30 minutes looking at our shelves of movies debating about which would make it into my top ten.)

My My My.  Collage for Octavia Butler by Alexis Pauline Gumbs, @blackfeministbreathing

“Writing is difficult. You do it all alone without encouragement and without any certainty that you’ll ever be published or paid or even that you’ll be able to finish the particular work you’ve begun. It isn’t easy to persist amid all that. […] Sometimes when I’m interviewed, the interviewer either compliments me on my ‘talent’, my ‘gift’ or asks me how I discovered it. […] I used to struggle to answer this politely, to explain that I didn’t believe much in writing talent. People who want to write either do it or they don’t. At last I began to say that my most important talent - or habit - was persistence. Without it, I would have given up writing long before I finished my first novel. It’s amazing what we can do if we simply refuse to give up.”  Octavia E. Butler (via @merigreenleaf )
