I pulled off running a LARP weekend with positive energy from the players this time. That is a millstone around my neck dropped that I didn’t even truly know I was holding. I feel like I can breathe again for the first time since September

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Also I got to explain that Lake Superior really doesn’t give up her dead and that divers found the Edmund Fitzgerald some years ago, bodies intact—one was found outside the wreck—and is now an officially protected grave.

Hey guess what. I think I've had enough being the victim of a fucking genocide.

Oh hey suddenly remembering that time I was all giddy about a side character Kyell Gold put in an Argaea book referencing a fictional detective and gushing to him about it before being corrected that it was a reference to a different fictional detective I’d never heard of. With the same name.

Good. Fuck Kim Davis in particular but all bigots generally.

I’m not even mad at The Democrats™️ right now. I’m furious at the SPECIFIC list of names including Kaine (who proves every day his shitbaggery) and Fetterman, who has consistently betrayed the people who elected him, among the others. Those senators aren’t touchable in midterms. But they will be

Heads up for folx playing Arc Raiders: Embark has openly stated (in an interview with GamesRadar+), that the game uses the same AI voice tech as The Finals, and the CEO has talked about using AI to generate 3D models from YouTube rips. If you're anti-AI you should not be playing Arc Raiders!

I have a hard enough time snagging roles as it is and I am goddamn good. Fuck the plagiarism machine brigade

The ACLU petition still hasn't reached it's signature goal? WHAT? That needs to change now. 200k signatures is nothing, let's GET IT. AT LEAST! action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

One of the largest comic stores in the region has almost this sort of engagement (less forced but still) and I hate going in there some days bc of it. Leave me the fuck alone while I am Shopping. If I need help I will ask for it. Stop trying to make cheap retail a boomer shopping experience.

Loved working on this duo comm for @sparf.bsky.social ! I need to paint more wolves, this was an absolute delight!

A plea for help. 🙏 One of the lead playtesters of Blue Prince, Iggy, has polycystic kidney disease and has only a few months to find a living kidney donor. His story, contact and donor information can all be found on iggyland.org Please help us in sharing his story and getting the word out.💙

Man… I always forget how great Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace is. (Ignore Graham Linehan’s bit roles)

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going! Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists. We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

Can I get a "Fuck No!" everybody?! Same. So tired of them forcing AI down our throats as if it's a replacement for the human experience. Ya wanna look for patterns in gigs of data! Go for it, but leave living to humans. Fucking tired of this shit.

I tend to exhaust people.

Jeanine Pirro tried to make an example of Sean Dunn. She ended up delivering a hero to Washington, D.C. www.huffpost.com/entry/dc-san...

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Oh is woke back? Has it risen from the dead? Did the people rise like lions after slumber in unvanquishable number? Is the old world dying? Is the new world struggling to be born? Babe, wake up, now is the time of monsters.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

it’s not enough. i challenge andrew cuomo to a 1v1 in super smash bros. i need to watch him lose something a third time

PGH locals! If someone knows of anything open in Pittsburgh for tech or management looking for new hires going into Q1 please let me know.

These two pieces would have come Home with me if I had the money. Especially the Touch Me piece. Because holy SHIT this artist is amazing y’all

Holy shit. @shmuplations.bsky.social translated a massive thread of old tweets from Hideo Yoshizawa that goes deep into the NES Ninja Gaiden's development, including finally confirming the Castlevania influence shmuplations.com/ninjagaiden/

Someone finally got the Big Lebowski.

As soon as my friend grabbed this and I saw its art in our room I went back for a copy and it had sold out but I am definitely getting this. It’s GORGEOUS.

I met someone who is from my home region whose conbadge name was Tax and I was dumb and didn’t get contact info.

Home safe. Real life is crashing in on me hard, though. I’ve got work and other deadlines staring me in the face and what amounts to a 3 day improv show to put on in less than 2 weeks.

You can tell a con is over by the migration of the Camp Howl hoodies/shirts. I am now a part of the furry trash brigade too. Thanks to @panicofgods.bsky.social and Cobalt for being some of the best con roommates ever. And many thanks to whoever the two who bought my masks in the art show are!

i don't think this post sells the fact that Darkened Skye is a 2000-era *Skittles* advergame where you use the aforementioned candies to power your magic abilities

After the AI bubble I hope the next bubble is Laser Tag. Laser tag arenas on every street corner. Blacklight lit battlefields propping up every sector of the economy. A one story building by the side of the highway called “Blast Zone: Pizza & Arcade” valued at $2.7 trillion

The Lead-Nosed bat and the red and gold cracked carnival mask sold! The other 3 are still in art show, purchasable for their After Close price

I think I need a few more friends at a con to have the Best Time if I’m not doing panels. Furpoc is a blast and I really dig the energy but the hotel booking situation where many of my friends could not get into Main (and I as a Gold Sponsor couldn’t either except for ONE set of friends) made it

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there

Getting a personal fursuit parade sitting in the lobby as everyone scrambles back towels or their rooms after the parade. Lol

I find it interesting that backlash to tech companies is leading people to seek analog experiences. Vinyl, demanding buttons in cars, the explosion in popularity of fountain pens. I’m not immune; I got a mechanical keyboard and my productivity quadrupled and I felt more satisfied with it.

They improved the parade route not to include the lobby death stairs so that seems cool!

Friends. Our Hilton Doubletree needs some serious help

Thinking of bidding on one of my masks @ Furpoc? Art show opens at 11!

The outside the Hotel dance going from Piano Man to I Want It That Way, and watching the folks low key dancing, suits or not, is a hell of a vibe. I do dig this, even watching from the cheap seats

Also I know it’s Halloween but I think it’s time we give up the Harry Potter costumes in extremely queer and trans spaces.

Sure folks. Wait in line for an elevator that doesn’t go where you think it does.

Folks @ Furpoc! I have masks in the art show! Leaf-nosed bat, flying fox bat, random blue fox, cracked gold carnival-esque, and a corroded copper. They are single-piece molded top-grain veg-tan leather, dyed and painted with acrylic paints, and with elastic

In one respect Stamford CT is like TN in the late 90s. People chain smoking 10 feet from the front door. It’s where the ash trays are but it’s a hell if a culture shock every time.
