Co-signed and underlined. While I get a lot of value out of improvised TTRPG experiences, it's good to call out that an improvised "game" has rules all its own. You are not "ignoring the rules" when you improvise around them. You are changing the rules. (Which is fine, but own up to it!)

To introduce my #ttrpg work to new followers (hi!), to document my actual work, and to fend off impostor syndrome, here's a list of everything I've published or worked on this year: First, FLY FROM MONTGOMERY, a 3rd-party scenario for LANCER. A desperate heist on a war-torn planet!

This is a LinkedIn post, but the most #hashtagdisruption thing Apple could do is make an incredibly safe, kind of nice looking $20k car that is just loaded to the brim with old timey buttons. Maybe you still yell at Siri in it and it pairs to your phone and it GPS tracks you to death, but it'd cook.

I was bullied by multiple people into posting what was originally a rant intended for 4 people about how some improvisors miss out on the joy of following a TTRPG's textual rules

Even with $80 tickets, @mbta.com still expects to lose millions of dollars on World Cup transit service, which is imposing massive and unusual logistical challenges for the agency. Find out why from @jaimereporting.bsky.social: #mapoli mass.streetsblog.org/2026/05/28/e...

lotta great choices in this thread but this one always makes me laugh

An excerpt of an interview with art historian and critic David Sylvester which i think feels relevant to the environment artists find themselves in the digital/social media/algorithmic content age

Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Please help grow support for Rep. Pressley’s discharge petition. Script & numbers ➡️

(Serious inquiry) If anyone is looking for a roommate in a city along the North East corridor (DC, NYC, Boston, etc), please let me know. I'm looking for somewhere to move. It's urgent. I'm also open to West Coast cities.

He just shared an anecdote of an Uber driver being detained after delivering food to a police station.

HP Lovecraft:

Meanwhile a team of four trucks and six crew from the City's Parking and Transportation department was working for half an hour around the corner clearing out the entrance to a PARKING GARAGE. I asked if they could help and they said "we don't do bus stops."

Eliot @ Bennett is the 10th busiest bus stop in Cambridge, many of which are covered (Harvard, Alewife, etc) It has a 4' snowbank between the shelters and street, and was never cleared after the storm a month ago. People have to wait in the street.

Beverly yesterday. Not even the worst examples. 😅 I’m going out today to clear some crosswalks in my neighborhood bc it’s been made pretty clear that the city isn’t going to prioritize it.

Dems have the third largest supermajority in the country in MA. Why put poison pills in your bill instead of passing agenda-setting policy?

Older people deserve to see themselves in romances, too. We're not just someone's side characters, we can be the romantic lead just fine. And they can be having lots of sex, a minimal amount of sex, or somewhere in between. They can also be kinky AF.

A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true: There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

Sitting down to make an Official Neopets TRPG, taking out a copy of D&D5E and staring at it thoughtfully for 16 hours before crossing out "Gelatinous Cube" and writing "Blopple" next to it, I make 100 billion neopoints and get a card that says I can now legally duplicate items

been trying to improve my people #drawing skills. I've kind of neglected them for the past few years as i focused on sculpture and fiber art over drawing. But its cool to be able to do and i wish i was better about it so here i am using @adorkastock.com 's refs for some studies

Take, referring to a specific situation but universally applicable: Sometimes, process arguments are progress arguments. Sometimes, process arguments are content arguments in camouflage. It's always good when people own up to when their process arguments are content arguments.

BREAKING: Zohran is signing two executive orders today to create a “Junk Fee Task Force” and crack down on subscription traps.

I keep seeing content labelled as "for the fifth edition of the world's greatest roleplaying game" and then it's clearly written by somebody with a *very* poor grasp of the Ars Magica rules.

it's like one of those 'heartwarming: toddler raises lunch money' stories but actually good this time, this is what electing Democrats should get you

Of all the sins of AI, this is an unexpected and deeply annoying one

It has been confirmed that Crunchyroll is using AI to make dub closed captions, so there's an unfortunately high chance of these being completely real: bsky.app/profile/daiz...

Trump is filling his government with Nazis, consolidating authoritarian power, and eroding democracy at every chance. And yet these 86 House Democrats voted for a right-wing messaging amendment to say that the real authoritarians are the socialists. Pathetic.

We've still got Teruyo Nogami, Kurosawa's assistant-turned-documentarian, and who is 98. We've got Kyōko Kagawa at 93, youngster Akira Terao at 78. But for *STARS* - actors who led those hard-hitting dramas and trend-setting genre films of the golden age - this is it. This is the end. RIP Nakadai.

Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

It's a lot harder for people to create a heated discourse on social media by willfully misinterpreting you when you do all your games and writing about them as physical zines that smart-asses don't buy.

FYI this is what you do when your business is great and you are very liquid and creditworthy

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

I knew that Mamdani had it; he had the people and did the work, and has been the clearest and most lucid in rejecting the untenable current state of things. But the vile, bigoted shit against him was so constant, and I am conditioned to that working better than I want. This feels like an exorcism.

hahaha jk jk... unless?

Colorado voters have approved raising taxes on households earning over $300,000 to fund meals for all public school students, raise salaries for school meal staff, and bolster SNAP at the state level.

“It's striking that in our state, in Massachusetts, where we have, as I often like to point out, the third largest Democratic super majority in the country after Hawaii and Rhode Island, our Legislature isn't doing very much,” Cohn said in an interview. www.wbur.org/news/2025/11...

this being said: GO VOTE ZOHRAN, NYC VOTE OMAR FATEH, MINNEAPOLIS YES ON 50, CALIFORNIA SPANBERGER, VIRGINIA SHERRILL, NEW JERSEY

Cuomo’s Trumpification is complete. Also, the Cuomo-Mamdani head-to-head race that NYC billionaires want is what the billionaire backers of the jungle primary ballot question want in MA. They want elections where they can pour in money to crush progressives with corporate Democrats.

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
