I can breathe a tiny bit easier here. I find that invaluable right now.

Remember now more than ever it is important to create. Paint, photograph, compose, film, draw, write, whatever you are able to do to create, do it. Art tells the stories of society through various mediums. It tells of the pain, the fight, the loss, and the joy. Create.

The paths through what's before us, in its awfulness and stupidity, are varied. Find one that let's you go the distance. For myself I plan to make, tell, and share my vampire and fantasy ttrpg stories. It's what I know how to do, and seems like the best way I can offer both some escape and hope.

TTRPG Crowdfunder Tracker! Some of you will know, I love admin. So I've made a simple little spreadsheet of upcoming TTRPG crowdfunders, which I'll keep adding to! Tracks who, type, platform and links! Want added? Let me know, strictly no GEN-AI. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

I’m sad.

If you don't want to have a picnic in a centuries-old cemetery with the sound of ravens in the distance, then please don't refer to yourself as "romantic."

Writing is an act of rebellion. Writing is an act of creation. Writing is an act of salvation. Writing is an act of exploration. Writing is an act of emotion. Writing is an act of confession. Writing is an act of speculation. Writing is an act of reflection. Keep writing.

No thoughts, just the special edition of Bull Moon Rising by Ruby Dixon (including sprayed edges) on a kaleidoscope.

The new world we want to make is already here: in the little actions we take today, in the ways we show up for each other, in the grass that still grows. Hope is not a prize that can be taken from us. Hope is a practice, an act of resistance, a spark that refuses to die. Keep fighting.

Glad I'm taking a break from Baldur's Gate 3 to...write a fanfiction about Baldur's Gate 3 😅 (still brainstorming a title)

Waiting on the day 9 invite code like 👀

*waves* Hi friends, professional writer person here. Even for mid-list, mid-career authors, things are pretty bad right now. A lot of my colleagues are looking for day jobs & cutting back/quitting creative writing. Soooooo…I present: 3 free things you can do to help writer whose work you like.

I just described the county I live in as "not exactly resource rich" on a Zoom call. I'm still thinking about foraging in my next D&D game, clearly.

for all you Baldur's Gate 3 fans, as well as all of you waiting for the PS5 release or anyone curious about the game, go watch @maireadthepirate.bsky.social 's new video as she did a wonderful job with it! youtu.be/2FlP8y5kmag

10 games to get to know me Fallout Life is Strange Red Dead Redemption 2 Saints Row Cyberpunk 2077 Dragon Age: Inquisition L.A. Noire (Soon) Witcher 3 Baldur's Gate 3 Written while actively in a GameStop and I struggled to think of a 10th 👀

Been a rough go of it as of late. But I've reached a point where I have four D&D games per week. One of which I DM. That counts for a lot right now. 💖

Had to post my last dice haul from Phoenix Dice! Ordered one cup-o-dice 🍜 for some good soup.

Holding myself accountable for the projects piling up in my Google Docs with this post.
