Why do I know so few Aussies in London? And why are none of the few interested in soccer? (I am aware of both answers, please don't feel like you have to respond and rub it in 😆)

I've had a very fucking terrible week, but - amidst the cramping, vomiting, fainting, and unmooring from society and reality - I accomplished two scary things, one impossible thing, and drank a lot of hydrating lambrini. So maybe there's still a small ray of hope...

I've started sewing things, which means I want to start taking photos of sewn things, which means I need to learn to pose as the young people do. I'm well off target on all of these.

I heckin love this game

ITV on, wine poured, snacks opened. Ready to make the World Cup my entire personality for the next few weeks...

This is good stuff. Get on board.

Got an authentic 'ciao bella' *handkiss* at the pub tonight. So that's enough to restore my fragile ego for a good two/three weeks...

If you ever find yourself wondering "does this sheep want to murder me?" the answer is yes. The answer is always yes.

This is very good. Read it.

Sometimes the "wrong" way to do things is the coolest way to do things.

Very much want to go to this

Coffee cat is unsure about her new twin...

What a lovely Games Expo. I had delightful & energising conversations with friends, horsed around with the world's best co-workers, found some fun games, smelled an interesting leaf, and - unlike last year - didn't break anything (except hearts, obvs).

Yes. Trust me...

If you're at UKGE this weekend please go to your favourite indie ttrpg designers, buy something if you can, but if you can't tell them what you love about their work. Everyone I've talked to has needed it, and it goes a long way 💚

Friday afternoon office is best office

Someone's trying to gatecrash my party

Truth. I believe this with all of my being (especially today).

All my life I've believed Romeo and Juliet is a shit play and now I...I don't...!? I am upended. I don't know what to believe about anything anymore.

So...if you were invited out to dinner and weren't sure if it was a date, and two hours post-fact are still not sure it was a date, that means it wasn't a date, right? 😿 Asking for a friend who is genuinely me and genuinely feeling a way about it...

What's it possibly going to be?? #embroidery

I know many of you disagree with my feelings about tea. But we *can* all agree that earl grey is a crime, right?

First Stannington. Next the world.

Get on it!

I am once again begging TTRPG publishers to CREDIT YOUR FREELANCERS on crowdfunder pages. FFS.

Declarations of conflict of interest are for lesser bloggers. Here's my interview with @mytholder.bsky.social about the the process behind the currently crowdfunding DIE RPG: The Metadungeon. oldmenrunningtheworld.com/gareth-hanra...

Such pretty, clever book!

Such a good game (trust me, I'm a very honest penguin)!

Sixty years of gaming. One impossibly massive basement. The DIE Metadungeon is six decades of history disguised as a honking great adventure and it's live on Backerkit now! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/r...

We're streaming the METADUNGEON Launch today! Join @gshowitt.bsky.social, @kierongillen.bsky.social, @mytholder.bsky.social and @exstasisgames.bsky.social at 5pm (midday ET) youtube.com/live/S5fsX92...

Stupid predators keep eating my peaceful, inoffensive, delightful foragers 😭

This game is my happy place

Another great game of Paris Gondo 😁

My hot date cancelled on me, so I shall instead be drinking a bottle of cheap prosecco and (finally) watching Arnie's The Running Man. I'm possibly too excited about the new plan...

My first rehearsal for this season's amdram play. They've cast me as a sarcastic accountant with barely (not) contained violent tendencies. What could possibly have prompted such a casting? We may never know...

🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀 We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG! Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space. But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

Having a delightful time watching the cricket with a friend. Not because I necessarily love cricket, but because I love watching Kiwis lose at cricket 😝

Home tattoos are the best tattoos. Right...?!?

I'm not high. You're high!!1!

Gent at the pub tonight established that I am, by nature, a raccoon. Which was a real "Well done, but may I also say fuck you, sir" moment.

It's my birthday, hurrah! For my birthday I'd really love as many shares on this post as we can make happen! Hi, I'm AK, and I write exceedingly queer books! Feel free to ask me about them! ravenswordpress.com

I didn't know I needed lo-fi despacito in my life until it appeared, here, in my life.

Games games games, games games, games games, cats.

The world is so hopelessly broken. I know getting dolled up and spending an evening talking nonsense with friends solves nothing, but it kept me here an extra day, so I think it can't be all bad...

I really needed an ego boost this week. Learning that directors are fighting over me for roles in our amdram groups upcoming "Chekhov Shorts" festival did the trick. It shouldn't have, but it did.

@thismaybegraham.bsky.social I might need you to make a "Prep is death" t-shirt. People keep getting confused whenever I tell them that the questions they're asking are answered by my imaginary Prep is Death t-shirt...

Coffee-Cat didn't sleep on my feet last night 😭😭 Unsure whether this means Spring is coming or she was just mad I had the wrong blanket on the bed... #Cats #CatThings

Sir, I'm not sure what you were expecting when you sidled up to me at the bar and asked me to tell you "something most people don't know", but I can tell from your horrified expression that it wasn't 30 minutes of wild theorising on fungi and fairies.

Gold suspenders and funny faces. Start the year the way you mean to continue...

It's 6am and I'm just getting home and my hair is full of glitter stars. Maybe _I_ am the problem...
