It just hit me that it's one week until @orcacon.bsky.social! Can't think of a better way to ease into a new year. I'm utterly stoked to be paneling w/ fellow author @sandrarosner.bsky.social about the Psychology of D&D. Using #TTRPG as a therapy tool is hot these days!

This week (!) is the 30th anniversary of the announcement of 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet found orbiting a star like our Sun - since then, we've found over 6,000!

To celebrate, @alexwitze.bsky.social and @nature.com collected some astronomers' favourite planets:
