I am loath to do this, but I need your help. My 20+ year marriage has unexpectedly imploded. There's a kid involved. Aside from Lupus, Autism and a shitty 2009 Mazda, I have nothing. Things are fairly desperate right now, so if you can help out now in any way at all I'd be really grateful ❤️

It's #transdayofvisibility and I would not presume that my opinion *matters* -- but it appears we're in a time where everybody should make this clear: trans rights are human rights, I support my trans friends and fellow creators. Everyone deserves the right to flourish as human beings.

Read this thread and avoid supporting Terror Vision

On the hunt for a new video conferencing software for recording the podcast and hosting my virtual D&D sessions. Discovered that the platform I was using Riverside is an Israel based company and that is not a company I want my money going towards

Unsure if the ennui I am feeling today is because Irish weather refuses to improve or because of the crushing World Cup play-off semi-final against Czechia last night. Tá bron orm

Personal gripe of mine is that most horror films only ever have late night screenings. I want more horror films to be on just when I finish work so I can still be home at an reasonable hour

It was a privilege getting to review @psycstar.bsky.social book Psychoanalysing Horror Cinema for my website www.fishnetsandphilosophy.com/reviews/mary...

I am on my way home after a D&D session with my friends and every time I leave this table my soul feels enriched. Creating stories with people you love? That's what this whole life thing is for

Starting to really toy with the idea of starting an actual play D&D or maybe Daggerheart podcast

I know I say this fairly often: people are right to complain concerts are too expensive, but they got that way because a lot of artists started to make almost no money out of their actual records. We have to look really hard at how we pay for music.

Do I enter the 5K in Toronto in October that I know I can do comfortably, or push myself and enter the half-marathon?

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

The number of people who's entire existence on this platform is sharing screenshots of Twitter and Truth Social posts is so incredibly irksome. If I wanted to see those posts I would have a presence there

I can't fucking believe we're doing this again.

Listening to @bloggeronpole.bsky.social chatting to @siridahl.com for the First Thirst podcast is such a joy. Two of my fav creative forces of good getting to talk about early formative crushes is exactly what I needed this morning

If you need something to help you feel joy this morning - watch the Buddy Guy Tiny Desk concert that also has a special appearance from Miles Caton. Thanks to @blsaycewrites.bsky.social for alerting the Ghouls group chat to this dropping youtu.be/m5XxOLdMSS8?...

Seeing the UK Greens actually standing for something and growing in popularity is fantastic when compared to the Irish Greens who got into bed with the centre-right govt and flushed their principles down the drain

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

This thread is pure joy and to continue - here are my two shadows, Shih Tzu siblings Hansel and Gretel 💕

When I popped into @vinsyn.bsky.social Toronto store last year I got to have a great chat with the staff member who gushed over my choice to buy Femme on Blu-Ray - those moments are absolutely priceless.

One cool thing about unequivocally hating AI is that you will be proven right over and over again every single day

Criterion releasing K Pop Demon Hunters is a net benefit for everyone - those who like the movie will get a really good home release of it, those who don’t care about the movie will benefit from Criterion having a certified money maker that they can use to help fund more obscure/niche releases

Once again removed Instagram from my phone - any time I notice my mental health dipping it is so directly correlated to the time I'm spending on that app. I miss the days when it was just a photo sharing app between friends and people you knew directly.

Really gutted Canada did not get gold. They were the better team by far. It feels really shitty to lose on 3v3 OT

Every time I watch the rugby it makes me more frustrated that football does not adopt the clock stopping while play stops rule

Gosh there are so many writers that constantly make me think "fuck - what a privilege to read this" @blondekwaidan.bsky.social @blsaycewrites.bsky.social @bjcolangelo.bsky.social @momoshaty.bsky.social @theneonbanshee.bsky.social @sharai.bsky.social @psycstar.bsky.social So many more too

The fact it says "taking place after the events of the game" is concerning me given that there are multiple different endings for the game. Honestly just set a tv show in Faerun and tell an individual story instead of latching it onto an existing IP

The world may be on fire but at least we have a new @bloodybroads.bsky.social episode out discussing the phenomenal 28YL: The Bone Temple.

I have been doing a lot of thinking about what the next themed season of my podcast should be and recently I have started DMing two D&D campaigns, same world but different time periods and I am now leaning towards a season about D&D/TTRPG Maybe something like "What D&D/TTRPG means to me?"

may the hands that write the headlines supporting the innocence of the state ache forever from the weight of upholding ill gotten power

Tories! Trains! The traitor David Cameron! THE BONE TEMPLE has as much to say about Britain, the good, bad and ugly of it all, as 28 YEARS LATER did. I break it down for @fangoria.bsky.social 🦴 www.fangoria.com/28-years-lat...

Life got very busy but happy to say my review of @crobertcargill.bsky.social @sderrickson.bsky.social Black Phone 2 is now up on my website. This film took me my surprise and I am keen for a re-watch. www.fishnetsandphilosophy.com/reviews/fait...

Now this is the ideal state of existence - fat and carefree

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Getting into DMing D&D games and I find it is genuinely so off putting that there: A] there is no price difference between digital and physical source books B] the 2014 source books are the same full price as 2024 source books

I just finished watching season 2 of Foundation on AppleTV and this show is absolutely fantastic. Very excited to start season 3

Remember that we can always find power, solidarity, and hope in the labor movement. Don't cross the picket line! #NoContractNoCoffee

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city. We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Ireland are through to the World Cup play-offs in March 😭🇮🇪

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

It’s been a year to the day we bought (and then didn’t, for reasons we still don’t fully know) InfoWars. We’re still trying. In the year since, we built The Onion into one of the biggest newspapers in the United States. I’m so proud of this place. I’m proud we do hard stuff. Thank you for caring.

Not to be all Fontaines about it, but as a colonised people, those of us who slag off aspects of our own culture like the Irish language or wearing zogabongs - you'd want to have a word with yourselves

I’m just a gay man, standing in front of a gay world, saying it’s okay if you’re not all that bothered about Wicked.

I'm told one of youse made that rapist cry is that right

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Night of sold out World Cup qualifer in Aviva stadium and Irish Rail using minimum carriage DARTs.......I hate the lack of reliable and functional public transport in this country

Hello it's me the leader of the party full of landlords that has been in power your whole adult life and created the housing crisis we now refuse to resolve. I'm here to tell you it's actually the foreigners' fault.
