I've been watching what's happening in Minneapolis and I don't know what to say. Two American citizens killed by ICE in three weeks. Countless more who are not citizens. People afraid to leave their homes. For those of us not living in Minnesota, are some things we can actually do:

Anti-Somali smear artist Nick Shirley has been sniffing around Baltimore. Starve his lie machine.

Good morning to everyone but especially our friends in Minnesota bravely organizing a general strike & protest in -20F weather. In their honor, no wishlist posting today. Please check out standwithminnesota.com for ways to help them! 💕

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

One of my fav movies as a live musical that I’ve heard only good about? Yes please! (Though battling guilt over enjoying ourselves whilst *gestures at america*)

At the risk of getting myself kicked out of my job and/or industry I find it deeply repellent how quickly gaming has embraced gambling apps (or, as they’re cutely called, real money gaming/rmg) It’s short sighted and just wrong, never should have been legalized everywhere for everything.

Alas the dice decided it was the end of the road for my changeling bard - I’m made, my boss and I are both unconscious and captured and the rest of the party are dragging my corpse back to a house full of demons. It was a good ride! #D&D

I seriously love this tea yall, as delicious as it is gorgeous Lake Louise from the Canmore Tea Company

Ok so I need to know if we’re saying the entire year you turned 10 or specifically what was #1 on the day you turned 10 because… Well I’d be pleased with either but there are different ramifications if I’m unleashing Jurassic Park on the world or privately experiencing a Mrs Doubtfire

Honestly the only problem with remote work is I’m solo so much of the day that when I do have a meeting I show up on camera with absolutely bonkers hair because I’ve idly been crafting it into a central crest.

No, nuh uh, too far. No one out there is like “I would like to reminisce about how many jobs I did not get and how many of my friends got laid off this year.

Gonna redo my entire life to become a professional singer so I get called in to absolutely shred songs like Une vie à t’aimer youtu.be/3kMbTzomh94?...

I treated myself to a commission of my last d&d character and holy shit it’s so nice to see my (nonbinary) rock son come to life I love igni so much 😭 Way of the elements earth genasi monk. The very essence of “looks like they could kill you, is a cinnamon roll” #D&D #Strixhaven #CharacterArt

Ok now I’m jonesing to be properly sad having stewed my brain in expedition 33. Anyone have book recommendations that will fill this need for getting overly attached to fictional doomed people? What’s the opposite of happily ever after? That’s what I’m looking for.

Pushed through today to finish Expedition 33 and hoo boy just openly crying through the last 30m Just how I like my media, filled to the brim with pathos

Uh, excuse me?!

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Look I’m not gonna answer for the top of my list we all know I’m trash but I am DYING at the garbage men all the way at the bottom held in lower esteem than dogs But frfr don’t make me choose between shale and wynn ever again I love them both

Making a deck: Me: Nue User Experience (NUX) Best Bractice in Mobile Me: hmmmmm that looks wrong Me: Nuw User Experience (NUX) Best Practice in Mobile Me: nailed it

Part 1 of my D&D heel turn is complete, the party knows, above table, that all is not as it appears with my foppish bard. Amazingly RIGHT after one of the other party members was like “I don’t know you, but I trust you” yesssss step into my web. My character rn:

In Edmonton Tonight! Fundraising Choir & Dance. Doors open at 7:00, and I will be there reading runes and blessing/exorcising your gaming dice as needed! Come get spooky a week early and raise money for two local choirs! www.astralprojects.ca/cthulhuchoir

Here's the whole block list bsky.app/profile/did:...

This explains more than it doesn’t about some….things I’ve heard or known about unofficially for a bit

Look, when I say that I’m going to play the bardiest bard that ever barded I commit

My D&D group are so supportive of child Gabe’s huge crush on Count Rugen from The Princess Bride and now are also sharing all of their “what did people in the 80s think a hot medieval dude looked like” crushes and yes this is all related to my character. I mean, what options we have…

God dammit @eplerjc.bsky.social I read your post aloud and a day later….

$483k!! Can we get to half a million for PCRF?

Me, playing Mass Effect Legendary Edition: of course the geth have souls! Synthesis for all! Also me 5 years later:

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

We have….a few sour cherries from the tree this year… Empty strawberry container for scale

Israel assassinates journalists because evil can't stand the truth. Journalist Anas al-Sharif was assassinated with three others in a targeted attack by Israel's genocidal terrorist forces. Any news media not condemning Israel's continued attack on the press should be understood to be propagandist.

Appropriate that my first human interaction in nyc is the airport taxi dispatcher yelling at all of us to go stand in a line (multiple times there were obviously not from Canada scofflaws)

5:30 in the morning is TOO early to be boarding a flight but at least I’m the only one masked. On the upside, going to present my research in NYC and that’s pretty cool.

I am deeply enjoying whatever this cloud is doing

Game writer friends, I need help. My wow guild has been arguing about a line a boss says for months. Leveraging my network here please find me a writer at blizzard who can answer what the hell “now i call this the green noise” means in the middle of a fight

I feel like Brennan Lee Mulligan would be really good at playing mermaids he just has that kind of energy.

Today I invented foefic - when you detail the bad things you want to happen to someone you dislike.

So apparently I consistently misspelled something in a deck so after recording someone reached out and were like “uhm…should this say Designing for Virality?” Friends I had written virility on 3 slides Very different deck

The most Sims story Made my first fairy: a puck type who loves mischief, has kleptomania, and is in the criminal career Then I started a legacy challenge and was like “oh it would be interesting to have the first sim be the baby daddy They came over, refused to hold the kid, stole the crib, left

My thoughts on Hebrew

Uprooting the dying evergreen shrub and going hardy rose garden has been a success I’m obSESSED with all of these

Things to hold off the anxiety: obviously I flipped the cover immediately

Oh good they’ve given me all the sliders I need. My ideal partner DOES have one angry shoulder (with a mustache) and their boobs have a bobcut

Remembering today how when one person in Congress wanted to push back on Microsoft building a video game monopoly they got death threats from gamers In retrospect I should have stuck with the OG plan and become a Vet

Who’s the prettiest girl in the world (🙌 it’s Agatha, it’s Agatha 👐)

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

While ass double rainbow on gay choir* day in June I mean???!!!?! *not being derogatory it’s literally a LGBTQIA+ choir

Threw my back out really badly last night somehow (this at one point involved CRAWLING back to my desk from the bathroom mid wow raid and the dogs trying to herd me into the bed) but having tagged out of work I’m now just laying here SO BORED.

Some more new roses have bloomed and my front yard smells amazing
