  Alright, I guess everyone’s doing the #introduction thing, so hi, I’m Andrew, and I imagine like a lot of you, I’m putting out feelers for an alternative to the bird app in light of recent news. I’m a TTRPG nerd, amateur world builder, rabid podcast consumer, and metal (esp. prog/avant-garde, atmospheric black metal, funeral doom, post, other stuff that makes me a real drag at parties). So, uh, hi. I’ll be trying to figure things out here.

  For ethical reasons, I’m moving away from Spotify, so I’m not sure what will become of this playlist. For those interested, I’ve made and will be maintaining a #TransMusicMonday playlist on Apple Music, which should be viewable regardless of whether you have an account. https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/trans-music-monday/pl.u-kv9llBVIJlJXEdK From: @VestigialLung https://dice.camp/@VestigialLung/110968056541398184

  I mentioned that having post deletion on, I’d be finding some way to compile and pin my #abstract #photography edits. I signed up for pixelfed and will be stashing everything there, so if you missed some or wanted to get another look at some, I’ll be uploading the various abuses of double exposure I’ve got in my camera roll over the next few days. Feel free to go follow me over there. https://gram.social/VestigialLung

  Is it just me, or is the #deathcore scene somehow more of a minefield for those of us who’d like - at a minimum - their music to not be made by outright Nazis or serial rapists than the #BlackMetal scene? Like sure finding a new black metal band does mean that you’re playing find the hidden Nazi, but the Venn diagram between deathcore vocalists and sexual predators is disconcertingly close to a circle. Also why is it always the vocalist? #metal

  https://youtube.com/shorts/ab4vLy-H48U?is=YijlcCVQpKkDptBm When you’re running a #TTRPG that bills itself on its tactical experience, and you’re running a combat forward table, but someone missed the memo.

  I have a løngstanding rule that if yøu replace a perfectly gøød O with the Scandinavian Ø to seem møre trve cvlt, I will ønly ever prønøunce yøur band ør søng name precisely as written. Pøur øne øut før the Scandinavians whøse eyes bled frøm reading this pøst. For those using a screen reader, I’ll nest a version of this that doesn’t replace all of the o’s with ø’s in the alt text. #norsktut (adjacent) #metal

  So #NewHolland has a line of beers marketed as Dragon’s Milk. They’re all bourbon barrel aged, and the most widely distributed seems to be the stout. As a biiiig fan of the stout, when I saw others, I picked up a mix pack. Finishing the golden ale now, and if you’ve ever wanted a pilsner that has its refreshing crispness wrecked by someone dumping a bunch of simple syrup into your beer, have I ever got the beer for you. What the hell happened here? The stout is fantastic though, red TBD.

  Celebrating Memorial Day weekend with an extended getaway to the most expensive hotel in town with my wife: the local hospital. She’s recovering well from the surgery, but if anyone was wondering, I have it on good authority that gallstone induced pancreatitis is a real -12 out of 10 experience and comes highly recommended if your goal is to do what I assume the youths would call painmaxing.

  So with all the stress the past week or so, I’ve rediscovered the genre of YouTube that constitutes my comfort watching: the particularly natury side of paludarium building. The idea of someone creating a self contained ecosystem because it’s beautiful and/or their animals deserve the best environment they can be given is really soothing for me, plus it scratches some of that carpentry/furniture building itch.
