I'm nerdy, into swordfighting (I play Belegarth) , and I do actual-play content with @streamingrainbow. I also have a (finished) AP Eldritch Horror podcast called Lantern Cove. Find it wherever you get your podcasts! Oh, and I'm a trans lesbian.

If you see this, post a sword.

Picture is of a boffer sword / foam padded weapon with a black handle and black cloth cover.

I'll be running a game of Doctors and Daleks, and hosting some games of Are You a Werewolf. And there are some panels you can bet I won't be missing. Feel free to join us at bit.ly/FOMOCon25

I feel this so hard.

A post from breadyeast that is a quote from Amir Levine and Rachel Heller. It reads, "Attachment principles teach us that most people are only as needy as their unmet needs. When their emotional needs are met, and the earlier the better, they usually turn their attention outward. This is sometimes referred to in attachment literature as the “dependency paradox”: The more effectively dependent people are on one another, the more independent and daring they become."

My opinion on Dr. Who is probably more palatable.

A ranking of the actors I've seen play the Doctor. All the Doctors are ranked highest, except for Colin Baker and Richard E. Grant, who get a B.

I've seen a lot of Star Wars. My opinions on it are probably pretty controversial, but here's the ranking of what I've seen.

I've got a pretty big head and mine fits just fine, if that helps.

Just a picture of me wearing an Evil Hat hat

Picture of Captain Shaw and Commander Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Picard, with the caption, 'Pride month ended yesterday, yet here I am, still proud today.'

Fixed it for you, Washington Post.

A picture from a Washington Post article. The article was originally titled 'I co-wrote the anonymous HHS report on pediatric gender medicine' and subtitled 'The hostile reaction to our work shows why we needed to do it in the first place.'

It has been crudely altered to read 'I badly co-wrote the terrible anonymous HHS report on pediatric gender medicine. The hostile reaction to our work shows that our poorly made report is harmful to a marginalized group.'

Image showing Dorothy Parker, with a quote from her which reads "I think I knew first what side I was on when I was about five years old, at which time nobody was safe from buffaloes. It was in a brownstone house in New York, and there was a blizzard, and my rich aunt--a horrible woman then and now--had come to visit. I remember going to the window and seeing the street with the men shoveling snow; their hands were purple on their shovels, and their feet were wrapped with burlap. And my aunt, looking over her shoulder, said, "Now isn't this nice that there's this blizzard. Now all those men have work." And I knew then that it was not nice that men could work for their lives only in desperate weather, that there was no work for them in fair. That was when I became anti-fascist, at the silky tones of my rich and comfortable aunt."

Gonna be doing a talk here in a few minutes about gender identity and TTRPGs, and how the two relate / how the latter can help with the exploration of the former.
