moby-dick, his eyes enormous: from hell's heart you STAB at moby? for hate's sake you spit your last BREATH at moby? oh! oh! the great shroud of the sea for ahab! the great shroud of the sea rolling on as it rolled five thousand years ago!!!!

And I'm live, finishing up our run as Tecumseh in #CivilizationVII! Last stream before my airway surgery next week, so come chat, chill, and see me (hopefully) conquer the world! twitch.tv/theoperageek

In about half an hour, join me for my last stream before surgery as we finish up our current #CivilizationVII game! I'm sure EVERYTHING will be fine. Yes. twitch.tv/theoperageek

Welp - best laid plans and all.... So since I got caught up with the pre-op appoitnment and such, and now its a bit late, I'll be streaming late morning tomorrow instead. Hope to see you all in chat!

Hey hedgies! So tomorrow I *will* be finishing up our latest #CivilizationVII game. Stream will start a little later than usual as I have pre-op clearance appt, but I"ll be there! It will most likely be the last stream I do before surgery, so hope to see you there!

TW: Health stuff - thread Hello, Hedgies! A quick note on the health stuff that has been impacting my streaming (as well as literally everything, lol). There are still tests to be done to determine one of the main factors. But for the moment, I'll just say I'm slated for surgery on April 9. 1/5

You know its gonna be a good night when you're scrolling youtube and see a new After Dark podcast episode featuring the one and only @goingmedieval.bsky.social. Especially when you tell your husband who yells "MY GIRL ELEANOR HAS A NEW EPISODE!?" Nerds. We are nerds as far as the eye can see.

And I'm live with #CivilizationVII! Having consulted my spreadsheet like the nerd I am to check what leaders I still need to beat, we are going to be tackling Tecumseh! Come join me (and most likely, one or both pets) in chat! twitch.tv/theoperageek

In about an hour join me as we dive back into #CivilizationVII in hopes of continuing our quest to beat every leader in the game! I'll also have a bit of an update on some of the health issues going on, since some of you have been kind enough to ask how it's all going. See you then!

Exempting women from voting isn't a gift, it’s a gag order wrapped up in a bow. Framing disenfranchisement as "freedom from worry" is just a polite way of saying you want women silent and powerless.

Welp, must have been more tired than I thought to have overslept to this point .... I'm sure having the dog and cat piled on and snoozing didn't help. Had planned on streaming, but I think maybe we will just say I'll see you all on Tuesday for the next installment of #CivilizationVII!

@laurenwalshart.bsky.social I thought you'd be amused to know that my husband is looking very confused because I'm stomping around yelling WHERE IS WOUBBLE because I can't find my second print to hang up 😀

SOMEONE TELL ME I DON'T NEED #CrimsonDesert TO STREAM IT JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN PICK UP AND CUDDLE KITTIES AND HAVE A DOG **AND PUT HELMETS AND OUTFITS ON YOUR DOG** FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING SOMEONE TELL ME I DON'T *NEED* TO STREAM THIS

YAAAAS LITTLE BUT FIERCE! DC is fantastic and this kid friendly #DnD adaptation is fantastic - give their Kickstarter a look!

We all supported the actors, writers, and other film and TV professionals when they went on strike. Because the arts should support the arts; stage, screen, audio, visual, written, spoken, danced...all and everything in between! That clip is just...sad.

And I'm live in an attempt to finish my run as Augustus in #CivilizationVII and mark another leader off of the spreadsheet! Come join me! twitch.tv/theoperageek

Stop pretending a group of people doesn't exist just because you don't know how to convince your child to hate them the way you do.

Happy International Women's Day from your favourite International Woman. To celebrate, why not buy a book about medieval women's history, the cover of which will be marked as offensive on this website? The Once and Future Sex a book by Eleanor Janega - Bookshop.org UK share.google/78MevtXKrK7I...

For those who have forgotten the past 40 years: Tax cuts for the rich ...don’t trickle down Boosting military spending ...doesn’t bring peace Slashing regulations ...doesn’t create jobs Folks, we’ve seen this all before.

I've started and discarded so many responses to the rather ignorant Thimothée comment on #opera and other arts...but my mom told me not to punch down. So I'll just say.... ....in a world of Thimothée Chalamets, be a Tom Holland. #OperaGeek
