just now in, breaking news - my roommate just texted me that she spent 30 minutes “rescuing” my cat from behind our washing machine. She would be coaxed some amount of way out and then scoot her fat butt back behind the washing machine and meow pitifully

For my March monthly reads, I simply have no words. This Is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5. I made the most ungodly sound as I cried at the end and disturb not one, not two but all three cats in my house from sleeping Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 …

I literally just read this book a few weeks ago and it changed my life and now seeing it mixed with my other favorite hobby??? absolutely amazing!

Hey Dad, look! I’m a published article writer!! 🎉 Big thanks to Brent for making this happen through Hell (influenza) and high water (norovirus)!

Very proud to announce our very own @haelleyanne.bsky.social has written an article for the first edition of @thehearthmag.bsky.social! 👏 In their article, “Not Your Cleric”, they discuss the effects of new TTRPG media on women and fem-presenting people in the TTRPG space. Check it out now!

February’s monthly read was Lore by Aaron Mahnke and it’s a solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5! It was fun to read a “non”-fiction book for the first time in a long time, especially when it comes to monsters and folktales. I really loved how Mahnke would talk about what these various stories of undeath and…

look I had a chat with the big guy upstairs. he says it’s okay to tithe to a trans person’s patreon/kofi/onlyfans/etc instead of your scandal-ridden local church. yknow, helping the least of these instead of horny pastors w no self control

I promised an announcement today, so how about a cover reveal? Still a draft but I couldn't wait to show off the amazing work of Alina Pete (@alinapete.bsky.social), our cover artist for Issue One! (Pls. share!)

my goal this year is to read at least one book a month (I used to demolish like 7 at a time but baby steps!) and this month I read Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

One thing about me is that I will fight Nazis until I’m six feet in the ground.

Have we done the research yet to figure out if the same people vehemently against non-binary pronouns are the same ones who had issues using the correct "their" and "they're" during the pre-autocorrect era of the internet?

okay so that solo journaling RPG I was making using Princess with a Curse SRD? I’m like 90% sure I’m ready to make it into a pretty PDF and set it loose on the world! I forgot how fun game design was 🥹

If the coldness of space doesn’t get you, the cold in the hearts of those who inhabit it will. Tough universe. Tough life. So, we do what we gotta do to get by. An AP using Scum and Villainy

I did it again! Jurassic Park with accurate raptors, a short part 2 #jurassicpark #blender3d

one of my favorite parts of any times square NYE coverage is when the camera people tell the crowd “you’re live, your live” and the people Flip Out

remember, there's no better use of your time than taking care of yourself. that includes rest. intentional rest is the opposite of wasting time

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

for my first Christmas w/o going to see family (positive) I made cinnamon rolls, exchanged little gifts with my roommate, and went to see Nosferatu and we just made dinner. it feels incredibly peaceful. happy holidays indeed

does this make all the Survivor I’ve been watching is just performance research?? (but seriously, this is a great thread!)

look Ma! it’s me!! but seriously, i’m so excited to show yall this character and be a part of this series. check it out!! ❄️

okay, my witch’s familiar solo journaling RPG is in a document and a notebook and some sticky notes BUT! I think I’m really cooking with something here. Using tarot cards as a device for guiding story writing is good but now I want to get more involved in the whole ✨you’re a cat✨ vibes

Every time I read about banning books, I think of this: Reading a book with a gay character will not make you gay any more than reading a book about Einstein will make you a genius. If you're afraid that books might change someone's thinking, you're not afraid of books — you're afraid of thinking.

@thesingingsam.bsky.social and I are seeing Wicked today and have recently realized this means being absolutely SURROUNDED by theater kids about to belt their little hearts out

okay so I did some digging and the Princess with a Cursed SRD by @cyborgurl.bsky.social looks absolutely perfect for this, catch me in 3-5 business days when I exit my hyper focus ✌🏻

I had an idea for a new solo or GM-less ttrpg as my cat naps in my lap. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to get to be a cat but what about being a witch’s familiar??

I really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really love playing TTRPGs with my friends

can’t tell if this is the high right before the fall, or if I’m just genuinely really excited to pick up a bunch of my old hobbies right now? does anyone else ever feel that?

This is your reminder to get a library card. They have so many services and basically all of them are free.

Brent is such a gift to this space, I cannot wait to get my hands on the first copy!

despite all this, an underlying theme of hope
