I rolled my mage up without any set in stone rotes, but it's sort of fun figuring out on the fly what my different spheres can do (especially since it's fairly limited so far). But, we managed to not royally botch session 1, so success!

Made the strawberry cake again, this time for our World of Darkness group.

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

Don’t live your life so that when you die people say “oh I was hoping it’d be the other guy, but I’ll take it”

Picked up Hell Clock. Looks at current time.

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

Watched Leviticus. Was reminded of It Follows, but the monster is conversion therapy.

Took a walk to see the fireworks and enjoy how quiet everywhere that wasn't the beach was. Given the weather everything had a slightly haunted feel.

Erdbeerkuchen! Finally made the German strawberry cake in my to-try recipes list.

I really do love the new Hemlocke Springs album: youtu.be/xLcHyZ2s8Rk?...

When Mitch McConnell dies (if he's not already gone) they're gonna try to shame us into being nice about him. We don't need to play along.

Hey anyone know a lawyer for a trans adult in legal trouble in Cook County? It's a friend's foster kid and their resources are very limited.

Happy Pride! About to be a very specific type of nerd with my queer cabal (with a token straight).

really one of the great short narrative games, for under $5.

Second week at the United Center in a row. Weird, as I'd only ever been here once before (Cher). Time to see that Weird Al.

A lot of cats in windows have showed up near me recently. Brings a smile every time I pass one.

Type O Negative, Metallica, Kate Bush, The Scorpions, Nine Inch Nails, Aphrodite's Child, Abba, The Beatles.

Playing through Quantum Break for the first time after finishing Alan Wake 2 sure does make some things make more sense.

You've nailed your last nine inches

[Shameless self-promotion] My indie game Three Days to Chicago is half off on Steam's Summer Sale. This Queer Games Festival finalist features on-location photography across the US, hot takes on Kurt Russell movies, and one very adorable daddy bear. store.steampowered.com/app/2495380/...

This is the wrong question. Some people will always lead more visible lives (for various reasons) and some less. Alternative questions: "Which approaches to visibility lead to more durable understanding and acceptance? And which to more brittle, easily abandoned lip service and reversible policy?"

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Seated with @dapneym.bsky.social in the new theater 3 at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social to watch Rosa von Praunheim's Tally Brown, New York.

May the father's day be with you. Hope you get some celebratory jizz.

Chicagoans will see this and say "hell yeah"

Just had a straight jackass point out how flamboyant Pete and I are and keep making escalating rude comments. Just coming off a concert I glanced his way and rolled my eyes. Tried to call me out for not engaging and I just shrug. I don't need to engage every pathetic piece of shit. 🤷‍♂️

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula

At Chicago's Rosalía concert, which has an equal number of queer men and women in wedding dresses or lacey veils with a boyfriend in tow.

We can be upset that folks didn't engage with more great media that deserves to shine, absolutely. We can be annoyed and mad as hell But I also need us to understand there's no amount of sales that would've "saved" some studios/games from corporate greed. The industry at large has a PROBLEM

Sauerkraut? Iunno, it's the one everyone expects the German to love and at best I just find it fine, but more often repulsive.

Saw this cutie yesterday.

It occurs to me that Susanna Clarke‘s Piranesi is the ultimate Backrooms story.

Enjoying getting through Blasphemous 2, but Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown makes me really wish for taking a screenshot as a pin rather than using symbols I have to write down notes for the meaning I've given them.

Several subjects in the documentary sued Jennie Livingston and lost. She handed them contracts, and none of them had lawyers to look at it before signing. They were only paid them a few hundred dollars each. The film grossed millions. This is discussed in Black Meme by Legacy Russell.

Christiane F. Playing at @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social! Apparently @dapneym.bsky.social has never seen, so made a last minute decision to come. Some day I may see a happy German film here. I know, I crack myself up too.

Tonight both @dapneym.bsky.social and I retired from the D&D campaign we're in (to join a World of Darkness game at the end of the month). As the group note taker, I left my last words as, "Denis and Pete exeunt, abducted by Daleks."

Debra Wilson is to video game casts what garlic is to an ingredient in a recipe. Man, this is really good... what is that flavor? Oh, it's Debra Wilson? Of course it's Debra Wilson. Every time I like something new, it turns out it's just because of the high Debra Wilson content. Can't even be mad.

Do it for Yakuza Mommy

Happy Pride, I identify as annoyed and angry these days.

Filling out job applications and on the one hand, maybe I don't want to identify as non-binary to every employer out there. On the other hand, selecting male feels like I'm betraying someone. Not that I have a choice given male, female, and "hey, this third option that makes me look suspicious."

I've been non-binary for over 30 years at this point (calling it androgyny back in the day) and the way US masculinity seems to choke itself constantly is always frustrating to watch. Men calling me out on not being masc enough has never bothered me because no thanks, do not want.
