Curiosity question for the folks on bluesky: How are you finding accounts you'd like to follow? I am seeing an influx of follows here and on @technomagemusic.bsky.social from people I don't know (yet). Would love to hear what led to our paths crossing!

My heart is so full. On our way to school, my son spent the entire drive asking me about Castlevania lore and listening to the soundtracks

This should go without saying, but given the circumstances, I feel it needs stating:
If you voted for Tr*mp, I don't want to associate with you. Please unfollow and block me.

Hey, BS.
If you followed me recently, I assume we mutually hold the following beliefs:
1. Musk is a twat
2. GenAI does more harm than good
3. Consent matters
If I don't know you already, I'd love to hear from you! If you don't know me well, I'm a Dan (he/him). I love coffee, MtG, games, and music.

My oldest (4.5yr, not reading yet but good with basic math) has taken an interest in playing D&D with his dad and I need story ideas for a micro-campaign! Hit me with your ideas!

Conversation with my son:
"What kind of doughnut holes do you want?"
"Chocolate."
"And if they don't have that, what's your 2nd choice?"
"Laser--I mean cinnamon."

#Chiptune friends:
I am considering giving away a modded #Gameboy on a somewhat regular basis as part of a raffle. Proceeds would be donated to a community-selected charity. Does this sound like something you would support and/or participate in? Comments and input are very welcome.

There's a very rad compilation on the horizon and it's chock full of awesome. Each song was written by a member of the LGBTQ+ community and proceeds will help fund causes in support of trans and non-binary youth.
Mark your calendars!
