This is the week I watch the final season of MHA. I'm not prepared.

Increasingly, I'm finding myself drawn towards TTRPGs that are packed full of flavor and very specific aesthetics.

Doesn't matter what the aesthetic, so long as the game is dripping with it.

I'd love some recommendations to add to my library, if folks have them.

This year's #ExtraLife campaign was a big one and I am so grateful to everyone that played in games, donated, reposted Bsky messages and hung out during streams.

With all of your help I was able to raise a record $872 this year and I'm so proud of all we accomplished together. Thank you so much!!

This HOPEmas is my final charity campaign with Team Sidequest. It's bittersweet. I'm proud of the things we've accomplished together.

My community has raised $222k in the last 5 years with Sidequest, but it just doesn't feel like home anymore, so it's time to move on.

Someone left a positive comment on one of my games today, so I'll be on cloud 9 for the foreseeable future

Tell me your favorite holiday song or album.

For me, nothing beats the big band sound of the Chicago Christmas album.

I've made a fatal error and got jalapeño juice up my noise

91% of my play time on Steam this year was Marvel Rivals.

I think that's all you need to know about the video games I played in 2025.

There's something so exciting about having a half-formed game idea and getting to work out the details.

I'd swear in on The Expanse. All 9 books stacked on top of each other.
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.

If you were elected to public office (never mind whether you'd ever actually run), what book would you swear in on?

One thing you need to know about me is that I like cheese.

How am I just now realizing that Circle of the Moon druids are somehow even stronger in the 2024 D&D 5e rules?

Temp HP equal to 3x your druid level when you wild shape is actually wild.

Celebrating my birthday by raising money for @projecthopeorg.bsky.social 🥳

We are closing in on our first milestone and it would be so freaking cool to hit that during birthday shenanigans. 💜

Today I found a backed up copy of the novel I wrote when I was 12 and read through the first few pages.

It's even worse than I remembered, but cool to revisit some of my earliest creative writing.

An emergency has come up with Ichi and I have to take him to the ER. I hate asking for funds again, but I want to make sure he’s taken care of—I’m really anxious about it. I’m so sorry, and thank you in advance 🖤

I know I'm extremely late to this bandwagon, but Ted Lasso is very good.

I took the longest nap after getting home from PAX.

It was a good weekend. I'm grateful for the constant of friendship, new opportunities, and for the support towards Paragons.

Marketers love me because I open every email that hits my inbox, but Marketers hate me because I don't read a single email that hits my inbox.

Today is my birthday. You can help me celebrate by buying a copy of my superhero TTRPG!

Or come get a signed copy from me at PAXU at booth 4036.
