Hey, in case no one told you this today: it's OK to be silly. It's OK to relax. It's OK to wear that dress you wanted to, or read a frivolous book. It's also OK to just cuddle with your dog for a while. They want to break our spirits. Let's remind them what we have to live for.

Getting into Bot Wars and honestly having decision paralysis because there's so many cool factions, but seeing someone release Soviet Dinosaur Cyborg Mutants feels like someone tapped into peak Sarah 2000s Game Design.

Okay, a real one: Every once in a while, check to make sure the version of your characters, setting, and timeline that exists in your head lines up with the information you've actually communicated to the reader. Which might mean you need to rewrite/redraw, but it can also be an opportunity to pivot

Love a good sci-fi reference.

Ah, cottage cheese. Or as I like to call it: a piece of milk

Sal and J.M.'s run on Spectacular Spider-Man, which was on the racks when I was a kid, is one of my all time touchstones for great superhero comics. The art was so crisp and economical and just exploded off the pages. Happy birthday, Sal Buscema!

I just do not want to go to the ER in this weather for what will likely be "a tummy ache" and a stupid high bill.

JADZIA AXELROD HAS CREATED THE TRANS SUPERHERO WE ALWAYS NEEDED Happy to report that my article about the wonderful trans comic book writer Jadzia Axelrod has gone live on the Pride Source site today! Check it out and also check out everything Jadzia has written! pridesource.com/article/jadz...

Again, Trump and co. are only worried about the "optics" because people aren't cheering-on their stormtroopers as they are "supposed" to while they brutalize people. The cruelty is very much as-intended, Trump just overestimated the appetite most Americans have for it because of his rabid base.

Two canonically trans superheroes in the same book! YES!

I would like to gently request that AI pharmacy bots stop trying to kill my mother

@persenche.bsky.social Hey! I had a question about the tactical robot game you designed, do you mind if I DM?

That episode of Starfleet Academy was the 90210 style teen drama I was kinda hoping we were going to get from the series. :)

The Cass Review isn’t worth much as a document, but it makes a hell of a dress! 👗 New Philosophy Tube in the works and folks, it’s a big one ✨👑 See more pics on my Patreon including all the looks and the live chicken we had on set 🐓 www.patreon.com/posts/148958...

Great. Stomach issues have lasted for 9 days, well beyond the buffer I'm supposed to follow about going to the ER. And now a winter storm is coming. My new insurance is really bad for the tests I will need. Not entirely sure what my next step is to be honest.

People asked and if I could do an official supplement I would but I don't have the rights to it!

Going through bills this morning being filed across the US and here's one for you. A bill in Nebraska that mandates the teaching of the "atrocities" of communism and how communism conflicts with American values.

ICE is evil. You cannot reform this. You must not fund this. Call your reps and tell them NO FUNDING FOR ICE. NO "TRAINING," NO "REFORM," NO "BODY CAMS." JUST ICE OUT OF OUR CITIES, DEFUND, and ABOLISH. reps.fyi

Even after Trump is gone, the world will remember that he threatened to forcibly seize the territory of a peaceful democratic ally, and our institutions failed to immediately remove him. That makes US dangerously unreliable, not just one senile gangster.

I’m just saying considering my past track record I should be allowed to write Star Trek Adventures: Pets Sourcebook. (Please check out Heckin’ Good Doggos and Dawg the RPG!)

Oh my GOD EVERYTHING IS MASCULINITY and also coarse demeaning sexualized bullshit

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.

Can you please help

Hey Bluesky! I'm asking for research help. Is it true that Trump sent a letter stating that the reason he is pursuing Greenland again is because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize? I'm trying to find hard sources for it. Thank you in advance.

Got the nicest compliment from a parent who was shocked that I was able to get their non-verbal teenager to engage with me today. They thanked me for showing their kid patience, kindness, but most of all I talked at them, not defaulting to their parents. My Mom taught me to do that. <3

Board of Peace is also a shitty name. I could come up with better ones! The Northern Hemisphere Alliance The United Coalition for Peace The Whoops-Too-Many-Wars Association RELEASE THE FULL EPSTEIN FILES The Global Earth Association The Gold Star Peace Corps

Everyone is surprised that Noodles and Company is closing a lot of locations and yet the reason is obvious. Portion sizes shrank to smaller than what you get out of a can while the costs went sky high. You get the same quality pasta or soup meals by making two cans worth on the stove for 1/10 cost

I once saw the Orion eat a stop sign.

Well this is fucking terrifying

J CON BAYBEEEEE It was a blast! Daemon Eaters was a lot of fun to play. Stupid bonemancers, stealing all our bones. (More horrifying than silly, actually)

Theaters used to do this up until the 2000s! You would see theaters bring back older movies for a run. It was usually because they were much cheaper to get the rights to.

I'm going to need people to understand that a preference does not mean something is superior. Playing online is great. Playing in person is too. Choosing one or the other doesn't invalidate a choice for people.

I spent $9 because a partner begged me to eat something warm and part of managing my conditions is regular dinner schedules. I'm still hungry. This is a chicken biscuit and diet coke from Hardee's.

I have never sympathize with a character more readily than Bud Briggman from the Abyss. #vaguepost

Due to my recent eye emergency, I could use a few sales here. If anyone can afford games about spaceships. About $300 in sales will cover my routine bills for the rest of the month.

"You don't live in a fascist government" Yeah, we really do. I wish we didn't, yet here we are.

if you’re unfamiliar with how Dilbert’s creator Scott Adams was a fascistic creep, listen to this episode of Behind The Bastards with @iwriteok.bsky.social & @choochoobear.bsky.social:

As a 90s kid, I loved Dilbert. I even loved the show! But as time went on, Adam's became a vile, unrepentant racist. If you see people talking about that today, realize that its not a hot take but one born of years of his vile and racist comments.

I want to like season 2 of Fallout but I'm really tired of how their writing has basically become "Hey, here's a callback to a faction from past games. Let's ruin 'em."

Did the Trump admin actually pass the strict social media guidelines for people visiting the United States? I have colleagues who are considering cancelling Gen Con this year because they don't want to comply with it (nor should they)
