I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

America needs to de-ice this winter.

Happy Wōdnesdæg! Odin humbly requests some nice belly rubs. All belly rubs are appreciated. 😁

Happy New Year. Though I expect this year to be as rough as last year, I hope we can all find time to rest like Odin here. Take care of yourselves, press into your community, and remember that you can't do everything, but you can do something.

I hope everyone is finding time this season to love and relax amidst the chaos of this year. You are loved and cherished. Here's Odin to warm your hearts. Love you and happy holidays, whatever you're celebrating.

I've never experienced more shame at being a white American man than to see such a blatant disregard for life while self-aggrandizing his own achievements. The true mettle of a person's legacy is what people say about us later, not blaring the horn for ourselves and building arches and ballrooms.

With another loss of life and the downplay from our wreck-in-chief, one thing has become clear to me: the only life he cares for is his own. Venezuelan lives don't matter. Trans lives don't matter. Black lives don't matter. The lives of his own people don't matter. It disgusts me beyond measure.

It was a privilege to interview Reverend Alba Onofrii for this month's hero study. We had a great conversation and I've had to be patient in sharing it. 😆

Dusting off my resume after almost ten years. Still isn't any easier to write statements about how I'm a good fit for a position.

I was able to be creative today for a white elephant character exchange with my gaming group. It's freaking adorable!

It wasn't until yesterday that I realized I own too many games where I can, and do, say "I'm going to farm some souls."

I'm Thankful this year that I have to redo a playthrough of Aria of Sorrow because I missed one boss soul that I can't get in this first playthrough. Good thing I like the game and am willing to play from the beginning again! 🤪

Happy Wōdnesdæg! When was the last time you made a tent at home out of blankets and sheets? For Odin, it was last week. He didn't even ask for help!

Happy Wōdnesdæg. After a busy morning as autumn is in full, nothing beats a nap. It's also a great way to avoid Trump supporters and proselytizing strangers. Seriously. What brought out all the crazies on our walk today? Having someone yell, "Jesus bring you peace" sure didn't bring us peace.

Out of the 50 trick-or-treaters who came to our door tonight, no less than 5 were young Hispanic kids or teenagers in police or SWAT costumes. 😅

My nervous system is shot and I'm so close to burnout, and the fire hose of political shit won't shut off. Thankfully I have time with friends this weekend to look forward to.

Is it possible that with the president demolishing an entire wing of the White House that this is the most damage the building has sustained since 1812? It's also a stark visual image of the destruction he's engaging in with Americans in general.

Hey @benjaminfaye.bsky.social! Would you be interested in being interviewed for my podcast? After hearing from Tori, I would love to feature you.
October 24, 2025 at 12:45 AM
Happy Wōdnesdæg! Today was an exciting and fun day for Odin. He went for a walk first thing this morning and after work spent time making new friends at the dog park. Time to sleep it off until morning!

It's here! It's here! I'm so excited to have my hands on @skydawngames.com Phantasy Star TTRPG book! It'll be about 7 years before it's my turn to run a campaign, but when I do, the adventure will be based on Phantasy Star Online Episode 1! I may run a game or two at RadCon next year...

So proud of everyone who showed up for the No Kings protest today! Living in the Tri-Cities, a very red portion in Washington State, it was so nice to see so many people who see the injustices and abuse of power and speak out against it! Way to go Tri-Cities for the peaceful protest and free speech!
