a poem that came spilling out today.

So deeply appreciative of anyone trying in times like this. If online activism is a part of that for you, wonderful, make waves. But also validating those who for mental health, safety, or other reasons choose to have those big conversations and do the hard work in less public, more direct venues.

For people that feel helpless, this period is so tough but there's ways to help for anyone. Go out there support Venezuelan ppl and artists living in it as they prepare for unpredictable times Here is a starter pack of artists with commissions or donations open as well: go.bsky.app/8daQmpX

I'm proud of the Golden Age video, but I much prefer video essay style pieces. If you are interested in my other work, here's my 5 best videos from this year: Arguably my best writing of the year is my video on Titanomachy's "NIGHTHAWKS," where I talk about how its relationship to Edward Hopper

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
