Happy Anniversary To The Og

[Opening my hands to give You this piece of Thespius Dialogue]

I was playing great god grove again today and this particular bit stuck with me. I feel like someone out there needs to hear this too.

select a teleportation skill

blink - no charge up, no cooldown, range up to 10m (~30ft), can travel up to 300km (~185mi) a day, can only teleport self + items being carried on self

yandere - no charge up, 1 hour cooldown, can teleport to anywhere on earth, but can only teleport to one designated person you have an unhealthy obsession with

Well.

A very happy thanksgiving to you all, and a very merry birthday to me!

I don't have a whole lot of money, and what I do have is going towards a move in the near future to escape an abusive household.

But for those of you with money, I can think of no better birthday gift than to donate to someone on this list. Some folks aren't lucky enough to enjoy a thanksgiving day this year.

If you can't donate, please share em. We can still get em putta there before the deadline.

Good day to you all.

one fun thing about being a teacher in march 2023 is that chess is a literal epidemic among teens. we are starting to have meetings about how we can STOP teenagers from playing too much chess which is like if we were trying to figure out how to stop them from reading for fun. When i was in high school five years ago chess was nerd shit only but now it is transcending every social and language barrier and is absolutely rampant. kids aren’t on their phone texting in class anymore it’s ONLY chess.com. kids are playing chess on their phones while playing chess in real life. this is still better than tiktok because at least the kids are developing an attention span from this

I was messing around with doodles that don't fit my artstyle

Had fun and liked how they turned out :D

I also did this,,, it's not colored and yet I like it enough to post here anyway

[Start ID. A neat collage of twelve drawings, titled Peridots' Year In Review: Art of 2022. Each one is the favorite drawing made in a particular month. End ID]

A few days late like last time and a couple of these were on the previous post, but here's my art summary for the year :]

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 and Gabriel from Ultrakill. They're angled towards each other, both leaning backwards with one leg bent at the knee. V1 is pulling itself towards Gabriel with the whiplash, the end of which curls around him, and he reaches one hand out to hold the cord. Gabriel's pose seems almost relaxed, while V1 is more tense and somewhat energetic. The background is mauve, and bears markings that emphasize the heart-like shape formed by V1 and Gabriel. End ID]

Did not know what to caption this. Uh. Gay people

(alts under the cut, as usual)

[Start ID. A picture of a small plastic bag containing hundreds of tiny yellow mantises hatching from an ootheca. End ID.]
