I'm so proud of this, my first Yoshi (pattern by 1UPCrochet). Taking it over to my brother's later as my personal addition to his game room. Hopefully many more to come in the future.

I have had a series of disasters happen in the last bit, found out I owe backpay on some rent I wasn't aware of and I still need to raise funds so I can get bottom surgery, if you can help at all it would be greatly appreciated. I'm so sorry to keep having to ask.

Panel on anti-fascism in #TTRPG 🏴
Since this panel originally aired, I've heard lots of conversations about how we are currently fighting a *narrative* battle as much as a political one, and I keep thinking back to this conversation...

For Pride Month, maybe consider supporting your local bi disaster who is trying her damnest. I am having a hard time right now it seems in getting a solid foundation under me but I have been trying. It just feels like a two step forward, one step back situation as of late.

Zionists need to be excluded from progressive spaces. There’s no room for the defence and support of violent occupation, ethnic cleansing and extermination of human beings in these spaces. It’s savagery and brutality at its worst to support the Zionist entity.

I finally finished my new video, and it's available for all to watch now.
This time I'm talking about Metaphor ReFantazio, and how it shows that fantasy and fiction can be a powerful tool in the real world.

Hey folks, this will be my last call for this game! It's having its first episode later today - but you all can join anytime. It's very casual, and has some of my favourite people ready to go - some of whom aren't very familiar with Trek. If anyone wants in, let me know!

I recently stopped a @startplaying.bsky.social game because bleed made our fictional story cause real world harm.
I asked for a 10 minute break to talk to the player, then refunded everyone for the session and let that player have a platform to speak.

Do you cancel #TTRPG sessions when players have had a rough day - or is that a good time to keep playing?
We recorded last night at the end of a looooooooooooong day and it ended up being quite lovely ❤️🎲

Pushing children out of public spaces (that aren't explicitly gated off for them) is the same phenomenon punishing and diminishing all economically unproductive activities. It's sad and it is in our interests to make the joyful play of children a priority for society.

It's important to note Khalil was an educated permanent resident who broke no law, that's to say he did everything "right" by anti-immigration rhetoric.
And it remains that a state that can disappear you for policy disagreements, regardless of your status, does not actually have "free speech".
