I’ve gotten a lot of new followers so I just want to let y’all know that I am extremely pro-Palestine, disabled and angry about the ongoing pandemic, and very politically radical. If this annoys you or you’re going to be annoying about it, please unfollow me!
Pondering what it means to make art in community after a truly magical past few days spent with some extraordinary folks. In the wake of this experience, I have deep clarity that I need a sabbatical from the ttrpg space. Not from my friends or my active projects, but from the space overall.

no. next!
New from TTRPG Insider: One of those questions I've been asking myself is about how 'big' Actual Play content can get. There are a lot of folks who are really excited to create in this space. But are there too many shows already? www.ttrpginsider.news/p/are-there-...
Are There Too Many Actual Plays?
An in-depth exploration of the actual play phenomenon: Are we witnessing an oversaturation of TTRPG performances, or just the beginning of a vibrant content landscape?

he will need all our support in the days to come as they try to undermine his work and the work of so many people, but tonight, we celebrate a win that is so sorely needed. May this herald the beginning of many good things.

I’m not done with work yet and I know y’all have more opinions 😂
Have to work and really don't feel like it. I want to have something stimulating to read at the end of my day, so this is your official invitation to share your hottest takes or most strongly held opinions about Actual Play with me. If you're not into AP, just give me a hot take about something!

all I can say is that in a time of increasing Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, it is a breath of fresh air to see a political candidate getting lots of media attention choose to deliver a message like this instead.

I started a new job this week. I don’t want to talk about it too much yet, but suffice it to say it is very meaningful work that I am well suited to, and it feels really good to have colleagues I like who are excited to work with me!

There is something to be said for the degree to which I feel a little chewed up and spat out by the ttrpg industry, to the point that starting a job where I’m going to be working with people during one of the most tender, vulnerable, and raw times of life feels like something much easier to face.

I had my first Arabic lesson today and I'm so excited to learn! I am an absolute total beginner and post-ME/CFS my brain isn't what it once was, but I love learning new things. this will bring me so much joy and I hope it will open up both communication and knowledge that I currently can't access.

idk y'all, I think people should be able to eat for free no matter whether they work or are "productive" or a "good person." I think good food is a universal human right and we should be giving to everyone for free, especially people who can't afford it.

In 2026 I hope to pay even less attention to the opinions and work of people who don't care for me and don't understand my work or my art. I don't want to be distracted by the spite of others or spend my limited time and energy worrying about it. regret to inform my haters than in 2026 I'm moving on

I have a lot of people muted and that’s all well and good until there’s a discourse/conversation that I miss at least half of due to just not seeing it 😂 (yes, this happened today)

I am so excited about what @intrepidwebfest.bsky.social (which aims to address this) may grow into! It's centered around peer review of AP, and I founded it because I want to see more of that.
I also want to take a moment to address the 'I don't have time and energy' of it all 1/7

Hey you know what the Actual play space needs? The normalization of peer reviewing shows. Nothing negative. I feel like as creators we consume less and less in our own space. We should change that.
When I was in comics I read other comics, why should it be different now?
Also bring back Game Feels

if they said it happened, it happened, period. and if you don’t understand, don’t mock.
(I actually have a surprising amount of thoughts about the ways people are talking about this but basically: if you don’t get it, maybe it’s not for you and remaining quiet is your best option.)

My favorite aunt once told me that your 30s are the start of the best decades of your life bc you stop giving a fuck about being anyone but yourself. She assured me that your 40s and 50s are even better. So my advice is: be kind. Pick *a* way to help your community and do that thing. And be YOU.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
