Well hello new followers! I'm guessing you're here because I was added to an asexual creator's list, so welcome! If you want to see more of what I do, head over to @thehearthmag.bsky.social and check out The Hearth Magazine, a bi-monthly digital magazine for and about small press and indie ttrpgs.

Dateline: NYC on Saturday, December 13, 2025 Flyer for Dare to Karaoke, a karaoke game show co-hosted by Charles Kilbourne and Mx. Tiffany Leigh. The "DARE to Karaoke" logo is in the same style as the 80's-90's D.A.R.E. drug awareness campaign, with "DARE" in a swooshy red graffiti font on a black background that looks like a bumper sticker. Below it is a 3 x 3 grid of colorful clip art depicting different musical iconography: tickets, a speaker, a jukebox, a microphone, a hand throwing up the rock and roll devil horns, a guitar, a keyboard, a turntable, a stage light. The vibes are like that animated "12345" pinball video from The Electric Company. Finally, the flyer background is blue with hombre-effect snowflakes and snowfall which start sparse at the top edge of the flyer and whites out by the time you reach the bottom edge. Details on the flyer for the show: DARE TO KARAOKE Saturday, December 13, 2025 at 8pm ET The Francis Kite Club 40 Avenue C (Loisiada Ave at East 3rd Street) East Village, NYC Cover: $8 USD in advance; $10 USD at the door Direct link to tickets is here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dare-to-karaoke-at-francis-kite-club-tickets-1971235154411

The fallout from Carney's ~masterful gambit~ with Alberta continued today, when the Assembly of First Nations voted unanimously for it to be withdrawn.

All the while, Alberta has already found a new fight to pick with Ottawa (coincidentally, right after Danielle Smith was booed over the deal):

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

SAD season means getting in my feelings in random moments. Like today, I'm reminded that I will always love easier than I am loved, for myriad reasons (and some of them my fault). I had moments where I hoped otherwise, but time and again people step up to remind me otherwise. And so it goes.

Today is a day which reminds me of the meme:

Me: I stopped a murder today
Them: Oh my god! How?
Me: Self control

Co-workers. Can't live with them, can't suggest they use all their brain cells because apparently that contributes to a "toxic work environment" and is "harassment"😒

One thing I will do a million times over is mess with the cover. The artwork of Ivan Aivazovsky is a massive influence on this game and I'd love to see something in the vein of his work in my book.

This piece is 'Neapolitan Lighthouse' from 1842.
