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!
As a disabled person, I’ve been watching this kind of eugenics m grow more and more accepted for years, and I dread what their next escalation plans may be.

I don't mean to be Pollyanna on main but on day 3 of my introspections about the ttrpg space I do wonder what it might be like if more of our discussions were rooted in what brings joy and generative energy rather than what we dislike.

no, YOU are wandering around your parents’ crumbling 1910s Victorian southern gothic home that is a terrible retirement plan carrying a lit candelabra while looking in a series of giant mirrors and secretly hoping the Angel of Music takes you under his wing

Being in a communal setting where I felt so supported, wanted, challenged (positive), nourished, and connected has really laid bare to me the degree to which I don’t feel that in some other areas of my life, the online ttrpg space being one of them. I need to really think about that.

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.

My dad doesn’t want to use they/them pronouns for my spouse but he’s also a total doormat who is scared of conflict so he doesn’t want to offend anyone either. This resulted in me asking him how he’d feel if I misgendered him and him being like “…it’s okay you can misgender me any time.’

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?

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
