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.

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.

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?

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

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 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.
