Still have footlockers of stuff in my basement…

Hey all. My father wake is tomorrow and service on Saturday. This is probably going to be two of the hardest days of my life. That said I’m grateful every day for the good people I come across here

Something profoundly hard about caring for young kids while juggling elder care at the same time…

@loreleilee.bsky.social hope all is well!

Will I hurt tomorrow? Yes? Will seeing Dorothy play be worth it? Also yes

My happy place at the CT Ren Fair

@megannn-lynne.bsky.social are you still active here?

@highnessophelia.bsky.social @batsinthebrittfry.bsky.social I feel you both would appreciate this

@samanthabeart.bsky.social I wanna make a goblin bard for dnd. Crazy?

@autumnivy.net I wanna make a goblin bard for dnd. Crazy?

@ginnydi.com I wanna make a goblin bard for dnd. Crazy?

@dykanite.bsky.social I was today years old when I found out you’re here too. Hazaa!

I thoroughly enjoyed Superman. It was a movie with heart, humor but most importantly hope

Narragansett time

Alrighty. Venue booked and flyer made for a 20 year high school reunion. Figure I can stick this planning feather in my cap! Now to learn the art of heaving tasks on other people…

@loreleilee.bsky.social thanks for the info. Looking forward to next year then!

@loreleilee.bsky.social do you ever do podcasts by chance?

Whelp. I now have a kid in double digits 😭😭😭

@zoequinn.bsky.social I’m glad to see you here! Your account just came about because of a share. I teach a social media class and some basic safety courses at my job and your story is just as relevant now as when the book was released

@skepticalginger.bsky.social hey buddy! Did you just join? Knight in sight from Twitter

If anyone here ever has the chance to see Samantha Fish play do it. Shes the torchbearer of blues, is hella emotive and incredibly nice as a person

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social also something to consider about messaging your colleagues apparently have a hard time with. We now have a generation that’s been trained for standardized testing which is paragraph at most that priorities finding a quick answer. Convenient mindset to radicalize

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social so it appears that where people get info has been changing. Making a bigger tent is all well and good but Joe Rogan and folks like him have been putting out bite sized stuff for 💯 free for years while we put stuff behind paywalls. Lies are fast www.bbc.com/news/article...

Showing my daughter The Last Crusade in theaters for Father’s Day. Americans true past time, defeating Nazis

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com Manchester CT. Couple of my fav ones. It was my son’s first protest

@asharangappa.bsky.social Manchester showing up. It was my infant son’s first protest

@hcrichardson.bsky.social I feel you’d approve

Swore an oath once to the Constitution and to no king

@autumnivy.net any chance of a birthday like? Twilight of my thirties

Perfect weather for a ren fair day! Consider that my birthday gift

@larianstudios.com my son approves of the owl bear beanie. He takes that, his hand axe and pirate booty seriously @samanthabeart.bsky.social I trust you’d approve

Just finished Turning Point Vietnam on @netflix.com it was honestly one of the hardest documentaries I’ve watched. But an an Iraq Vet and the son of a Vietnam Vet it was one of the most relevant and I commend the memory work done as opposed to a simple play by play

@danaterrace.bsky.social I have a question for you. I’m working on a Master of History currently. The paper I’m writing is about games (board and video) as places of memory. When you were crafting the world of the Owl House and specifically the historical society did you reference an actual one?

Please to see ya again @phaseknight.bsky.social! Highly suggest saying hello if seen at PAX East!

@autumnivy.net pleasure to see ya again! You rock and I appreciate you tolerating the jabbering on. For anyone reading this she is super nice and you should say hi at PAX East at the @larianstudios.com booth. Nice people all around

Just as cool as you would imagine in real life as they are on here? Then meet @goforthegoat.bsky.social at Pax East

If you get the chance at Pax East, I absolutely suggest stopping at the Larian booth to meet folks including @autumnivy.net. Legit one of the best people ever

@phaseknight.bsky.social mornin! Will you be walking around today? Would be nice to see ya in person again

@samanthabeart.bsky.social have a great PAX weekend! I appreciate the advice earlier, unfortunately I’m going Saturday so will miss ya. I really think games can have a lot more scholarly work done so I’m def returning to the subject

Watched the Revenge of the Sith re release. Parts certainly haven’t gotten but still has the secret sauce after 20 years. Thinly veiled subtle politics just as present in 1975 or 2005 are just as present now. A sell out theater clapped and hooted at the end. The first breath as Vader? Pin drop quiet

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Also. They were selling hats that actually fit my dome at the Lexington 250 event so I had to

@hcrichardson.bsky.social some protest signs from Lexington 250. The sermon on the green (part of the reenactment) felt particularly relevant

Went to the 250 celebration at Lexington. I’m still forming thoughts but I was happy to see protest signs and the grievances of the colonists seem just as relevant today

Sharing a portion of the Declaration of Independence for absolutely no reason

@matthewmercer.bsky.social I know this is a long shot but figured I’d ask. I’m working on a paper, it’s for my Master of History. The theme is games as places of history, when you’re dm’ing or engaging in games do you ever think about the historical context that goes into world building?

@larianstudios.com hey all! I’m in grad school for history. I’m writing a paper about games as places of memory. During development, was the historical connections to our world ever talked about?

I think it’s a fair point. Hell even in grad school we read books to gut them for information. Not to look at them as full books to enjoy…
