Calling all Canadians living in the Quebec-Windsor corridor! I wasn't aware the company creating and building the future high-speed rail line were having public consultations: town halls, online meetings, and a questionnaire. Make your voices heard! en.consultation.altotrain.ca/shaping-the-...

I feel like this sums it up nicely (the context is my day, but still)

I assumed it was related to galvanize, and it is, but the definition is more "sudden and dramatic". Which seems... appropriate for me if not the year

To those who celebrate, a very happy New Year! With love from the whole family, including my huntress kitty Lara Clawft who yes, DID catch a mouse yesterday while I was streaming, why do you ask?! Is it good karma to kill the old year in mouse form, or is it a bad omen cuz of the death?

Another day, another couple of philosophical and deeply personal bombshells I was not prepared for in "Martyr!", by Kaveh Akbar.

Don't let our storyteller keep his plot bombshells all to himself!! We're switching over to Patreon in anticipation of our move to YouTube this coming Saturday and Sunday and by golly, if there's a plot bombshell to unlock, I want it dropped on my head, damnit!!

Inspiration comes from the strangest places...

And what a freaking session it was 🫨😵‍💫😵 With our marathon streams coming up fast, you won't want to miss party games on the 20th and an extra-long, action-packed session of Montreal by Moonlight on the 21st!

Not such a bad view from work this morning! (That's Mount Royal in the background)

Join us for our FINAL Twitch stream in just over 30 minutes over on twitchl.tv/RPGClinic (And then catch us on YouTube next week)

We're moving & having a marathon to celebrate! On December 20 & 21 we'll be hosting extra-long streams on our YouTube channel to kick off our switch to our new streaming home. To Twitch, we say: Thank you, goodbye. Sat Dec 20: One-shots & game shows! Sun Dec 21: WtA: Montreal by Moonlight Ep 100!

Martyr!, by Kaveh Akbar: so far RIGHT up my alley; poetic, veering from dreamscape to mundanity and back. And as a bonus, I'm getting closer to a bingo on my "novel modeled after author's life but only JUST" bingo card!

Found on my travels: one sassily looking mini-snow-dude! Glad someone's enjoying the snow

Good citizen in the morning ("I voted!"), werewolf in the afternoon (streamed RPG, don't worry!). It's a good day. ( @rpgclinic.bsky.social is where I play! Give em a follow!!)

October has been so crazy for me so far I almost forgot to promote this! Streaming for my 11th year to raise money for sick kids, game day on Nov 8th! #extralife2025 www.extra-life.org/participants...

Gogo Penguin concert in town last night, and URGH SO GOOD But also, it got me thinking about music. I have the irresistible urge to categorize, and I realized that, for me at least, artists either subsume themselves into their music to become part of it, or they themselves ARE the art.

Conquering my fear of heights, one rooftop task at a time.

Ah, I see we've entered the cursed aisle... Which is worse, a or b??

Gents of Bluesky, a question: I went to a new barber today and treated myself to a straight razor trim... and before she did it, she wrapped my head in a warmed, moist towel! Is this standard practice? Have I been missing out all these years?!

Video Game final boss or James Bond fight sequence?

Paradise, for some.

Black Cat Appreciation Day! My black cat (Mad) Max is fast asleep at the moment, but typically a very demure little man. Oh and #workersrights ✊️

August, an afternoon in the country - 2025, photo on Android

A few pics from a recent trip to Dunham and Bedford. Bonus LARPs reference: "I'll have a dirty chai latté..."

That CLASSIC spiritual trilogy

Me: I LOVE this guy's energy! Also me: he writes WHAT?!?! Oh, also me: *hides my Tingle fiction so that I can make the aforementioned joke* Also me again: *immediately flies my Tingle flag high because I'm a proud Tingler, damnit*

www.cbc.ca/radio/quirks... Microsoft is reportedly considering Small Modular (Nuclear) Reactors to power its AI needs: powerful, mobile, clean (relative to fossil fuels), & super efficient. Awesome! Now ditch the AI and invest in clean energy infrastructure anyway. I PROMISE we'll love you 😘

My aversion to shorts came up on stream last night, and so I'd like to provide photographic evidence that, yes, people *can* change!

TFW the cycling path trolls the walkers 😂

The best thing about Fringing at Fringe Montreal is the variety: yesterday I found myself in a video game/escape room, experienced a bouffon show about colonialism, AND saw some a$$ in a Western parody. Great shows all round, congrats to everyone!!

Oscar: Not the role model we wanted, but the one we needed 😆😆😆 #YouCanDoIt #SesameStreet #OscarIsABoss #GrouchLife

I may not have won my prize on @backroomdeals.bsky.social tonight, but I'll be damned if I didn't have a great time playing Netrunner!

ACTRA members, heads up that a ratification vote is coming... just got the email today! If you haven't seen it, PLEASE check your spam & junk folders. ACTRA has links to all the information you need to make an informed decision -- let's get the vote out!!

This felt like good karma

Also, in other shockingly good news, early voter turnout for Canada's upcoming federal election was up 25%!! C'mon Canada, let's keep that trend going on Monday! www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

I realize this is fast becoming a "simp for Murakami" profile... but the mark of true craft is how effortless it feels. [Quote taken from The City and Its Uncertain Walls, Haruki Murakami, 2024.]

Spring is springing in Montreal (finally?)

Bloom Sushi coming through with arancini and some delicious (if very untraditional) maki... plus an Old Fashioned. #datenight #treatyoself

I feel like this guy missed his calling

My timeline has been cursed. In order to rid myself, I have cursed yours. Please believe that I am truly sorry for this.

ACTRA (Canadian union for actors in film, television, voice, and video games) recently held a national referendum. What it was about matters a great deal, but what blows my mind was turnout. 22% of eligible union members nationwide cast a ballot, pretty much the same in every jurisdiction.

Yeah, come roast some Netrunner play! Even if you know nothing about Netrunner, you'll love the banter 😁

Stop Forcing A.I. into Fucking EVERYTHING!

I love Haruki Murakami's brand of magical realism, but my favourite book is the utterly terrifying *House of Leaves*. Anyone got book recommendations for me? 😁

FINALLY our civilization's greatest achievement in music! The best piece of music remade in the best genre of music! (And yes, JOKE ALERT) youtu.be/2YogXpt4feY?...
