The Only Retreat That Works
What comfort do you return to when everything feels loud? When everything gets loud, I don’t “recharge.” I don’t “center myself.” I don’t journal my feelings like a malfunctioning HR department. I go home. I shut the door. I let the house go quiet. Real quiet. The kind that doesn’t perform for anyone. The world is a nonstop siren now. Everyone yelling opinions. Everyone selling something. Everyone desperate to be heard while saying absolutely nothing. Phones vibrating like […]https://ericfoltin.com/2026/01/30/the-only-retreat-that-works/

Let’s Talk Stakes (Not Steaks)
The world just can't stop trying to end! A great example of this is in the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer. At this point, I don't think I need a spoiler alert to say that Buffy stopped the Master, Angel, the Mayor, Adam, Glory, Willow, and finally the First. In the meantime, she had to keep h

Finding A Home In Cozy Fantasy
Cozy fantasy has always sounded amazing to me, especially as someone who really has turned to their writing as a form of self-care. It's done my mental health wonders to find stories and craft a world I can slip into, create the kinds of stories I love to read, that leave you with if not a one hundred percent everything is going to be okay kin

NEWS FROM CANADA
Parking meters has the wrong zone number on them. Folks were getting tickets because they paid for the "wrong" zone listed on the meter.
After a call to the news org, the city fixed the signage.

🎲 ¡He hecho otra movida rolera gratis! 🎲
Low Stakes es un juego de rol rollo "Lo que hacemos en las sombras" que va de ser compas de piso sobrenaturales a los que les pasan cosas tontísimas. En España lo publica Cursed Ink: https://www.cursedink.es/tienda/low-stakes/
El juego tiene encanto, pero la ficha básica es más seca que la momia de un cactus, así que he hecho una versión alternativa en color y en BN para descargar gratis.

OK #sewing talk. Cut. my mummer sequin poncho costume on the #bias. When I made the neck hole it quickly turned into a waist sized hole -tried it on - slipped off my shoulders. Yoiks! So I used the tricot sequin free selvage as a neck band adding pinch pleats as I sewed it. Now it looks like a sequin smock lol and I can ~just~ get it over my head. #MakeItWork #Sequins #Mummer #LowStakes
Next time eff a circle I'm cutting slits for a neck hole

Otterdottar was NOT banned! Rather, the gnome who runs the place is turning her into something of an attraction. "I bet you can't do a double flip and hit the water head first." Of course, she took that challenge.
And nailed it because the dice loved me.
Money changed hands, and the ogre who's her friend "suggested" that the owner give her a cut. Otterdottar didn't care. She was playing in water.
But now she gets free meals, so it's all good. #LowStakes

The most divisive issue was whether to extend the existing building preservation bonus to all residential areas. The two opposing views were that this is too small a change to bother with and that this will make a positive difference for a handful of sites #lowstakes #housing
