Is the theme of this Holiday season "Horrible Remixes of Classic Christmas Songs"? I'm not a huge fan of "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime," having worked in Retail and Food Service... But at least it wasn't just... bad *innately*

Trump, five days apart. A pathological liar.

Solidarity forever! Support these lovely folx by not crossing picket lines! No scabs! #NoContractNoCoffee !

Psst. Psst. I know you know me for Blood on the Clocktower content... But my Bachelor's degree isn't in board gaming, or content creation. It WAS, however, in Literary and Language analysis. So if you like a mix of Philosophy and Poetry? Check this out: youtu.be/0StXYtwZlas?...

After a week and hard work and sleep deprivation, why not continue our adventures in Baldur's Gate III? We'll be back live on Twitch starting at around... 9pm PDT? Who knows? I land right around 7:00pm. Anything could happen! Come find us at twitch.tv/aetreides !

Bargaining with my company these next few days, so no Midweek Stream today, but @thekillerqueenamy.bsky.social will be running a Donathon to help support The Walk to End Lupus during the normal stream time! Make sure to check them out over at twitch.tv/thekillerqueenamy ~!

I wonder... have American Conservatives finally reached... A Turning Point?

Feeling a bit under the weather, so I'm canceling stream today. I'll be back Friday, though, with more Baldur's Gate III Honor Mode action!

In a world that constantly tries to tell you why you should be unhappy; that tries to tell you to focus on what you lack -- dare to be happy. Dare to believe yourself enough, without external validation. Dare to acknowledge your value. And dare to stand against those who would tell you otherwise.

Because people who think they are smart are the biggest danger to actual human intelligence and well-being. And because fear is a stronger motivator than empathy and care and compassion if you have the power (be it social, financial, political, etc.); at least in the hands of a single person.

Being on the sea is strangely magical. I had bad motion sickness as kid. And now? I still feel the movement, I just know how to handle it. How to move with my reality, rather than maintaining certain "constants". Find the tools you need to navigate this world. Embrace them. You're worth it.

Make sure to tune into MathBlade for your Sunday evening dose of Clocktower! twitch.tv/mathblade314

After what became a 31-hour charity stream, we ended up raising over $20,000 for @translifeline.org, more than double our initial goal. The @bloodontheclocktower.com community is absolutely incredible. Thanks for the remarkable showing of compassion and generosity! Happy Pride, everyone!

Thrilled to be part of this event. Let's finish up Pride Month FABULOUSLY! Tune in starting this Saturday, June 28th, at 12am Midnight EDT, and enjoy being entertained for more than 24 hours, as 13 incredible communities centered around @bloodontheclocktower.com raise money for @translifeline.org!

If you are an REI member, please make sure to fill out this member survey, especially if you dislike how REI has responded to its employees pursuing unionization. Let's pave a path towards a true Co-op, rather than being one in name only! Spread the news! rei.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

Scheduling anomaly this week, so I won't be streaming tomorrow. But if you're looking for your Wednesday morning dose of Clocktower, before Patters' stream, check out @voidstarrttv.bsky.social or @thekillerqueenamy.bsky.social - they should be supplying some streaming entertainment for you!

Family's in town for my birthday this week, so I won't be streaming as I normally do on Sundays... but if you're looking for some evening @bloodontheclocktower.com fun, make sure to check out Mathblade at twitch.tv/mathblade314, starting at 6pm Pacific!

Thank you to all who dropped by any of my MANY streams (or streams I participated in) for my Birthday week. If I could do this normally? I definitely would. Spending time with you all is a treasure!

Started my 43rd year on Earth by breaking down live to the end of Paradise Lost; followed it up with a lovely game of Trouble Brewing; now at an interlude for a meal and gathering of the family. Can't wait to end it with Baldur's Gate III! Check it out at twitch.tv/aetreides starting at 7pm PDT!

Hope to see you all this morning / afternoon for some Miltonic celebration~! Paradise Lost Books 1 - 6 begins at 10am on twitch.tv/aetreides!

Just had my first hate raid~! How fun! The problem, trolls? Is that people have tried to break me before. And unfortunately for them? What didn't kill me made me stronger. So call me whatever you wish. I'm more of a man than you'll ever be, and more of a woman than you'll ever get. Happy Pride~!

Celebrating the BEST Birthday yet this week with a BUNCH of streams / stream appearances~! And finally undertaking a task I've been meaning to for quite sometime: recording a reading of Paradise Lost, and sharing the beauty of Milton's work with as many people as wish to experience it!

I'm not great about spring cleaning, but when the Harry Potter Fan Club reached out to me extending a birthday wish, I gave myself the greatest gift of all...

Sometimes, the right thing pops up on my feed at the right time. This is one of those times. Pursue resilience, everyone. I promise, you have it in you to whether the worst of the storms, until the sun comes out to dry you. Just believe it. www.facebook.com/CoachMatthew...

You have shown me the secrets of the Council of the Purple Flame. We have lain together in fire and in lust and in beastly commune, and I am forever your servant. But tonight, my dear, I am your master.

Weird scheduling this weekend at work, so if you're looking for your Sunday edition of BotC over here at @nocturnegaming.bsky.social (Blood on the... Noct-Hour?), check out @guggiez.bsky.social over at twitch.tv/guggiez starting at 6pm PDT, 9pm EDT!

Something may be in development...

When a friend is in need, at the very least I'll offer my voice. I this case, I could fortunately offer a bit more. If you can lend a hand to helping someone escape domestic violence, please do what you can: anything helps. gofund.me/c5b4ddac

You know you're a 1600s Literature buff when you see this glass, and the first thing that comes to mind is Giovanni and Annabella. If you know... you know.

Guilt will never be a primary motivation for keeping others close that will lead to any satisfaction. It is necessary that we love ourselves in the same manner we wish others might love us; wholly, completely ... and while that can be a challenging task for us to grasp? ... easy as cake.

I genuinely believe there's a sort of ... human phenomenon on full display with those who protect on about desires to Terraform Mars. It's such an enormous task. /1

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

In the realm of *not* Blood on the Clocktower... We did it. We successfully managed to align ourselves with our membership base in a way we have felt our Corporate base has been failing to do. It's time to make this company truly one in line with its professed values! #solidarityforever

For some people, the mantra really should be... "Give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know that being made to be held accountable for my actions is not the same thing as being victimized."

Just spent the majority of my night getting more acquainted with the YouTube Partner program... because I was just accepted as a YouTube PARTNER! The elation, y'all... it's hard to describe. Can't wait to start this next chapter. Love you all so much! Youtube.com/@aetreides

Landed in D.C.! Can't wait to get some live BotC games going!

Courage cannot erase our fear. Courage is when we face our fear. Once we've begun, If we stand as one, "Someday" becomes "Somehow"; And a prayer becomes a vow. So let's answer "When?" With "NOW!"

I have a recommendation. Have you heard of Discworld?

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott

I got to take part in this amazing project, thanks to the lovely folx at @final3con.bsky.social~! Highly recommend you watch this video, whether you Storytell Blood on the Clocktower or participate more as a player! Can't wait to see y'all in D.C. next week!

This was an oldie, but quite the goodie. And what are friends for if not giving each other some good-natured jabs? Love ya, @thekillerqueenamy.bsky.social ~ Here's to another year of incredible laughs~! www.twitch.tv/aetreides/cl...

299 characters? Having played the Suikoden games, I can usually get by with no more than 108. ;)

Truly the best meme... and just... a good reminder: Being wrong is not the problem. How you respond to being wrong... that can be. Dare to be wrong. Be beautifully imperfect. Fundamentally flawed. Be. Human.

Idk what journalist needs to hear this but it’s not your job to say “this side said this, and this side said this” and end the story there. You’re supposed to figure out who is lying and what they gain from it. If I say the sky is green you should say I said that, and then say I’m wrong!!

Y'all... Y'all... This thumbnail, though. A wild thumbnail for a wild game. Enjoy! youtu.be/tLD1uSfAm_c

Really interesting article, this part stuck out particularly well to me:
