After 6 months, I’m still not used to suburb life and how eerily quiet it gets at night. Sometimes I miss the sirens and cars driving by as white noise. Jk but I DO miss living walkable distance from everything.

I am mentoring for the first time today - both excited and nervous!

The same people who don't hit "reply all" on emails are also the same people who don't use turn signals while driving.

Celebrating our 2nd marriage day (we had our big party with family and friends a year ago) by playing board games! First up is Royal Visit from iello

I wish men didn’t feel the need to reflexively disagree with women. It is so exhausting having to defend myself c o n s t a n t l y.

I just finished judging my portion of the Young Inventors Challenge for People of Play, and I have to say...I love seeing kids express themselves. There were a few projects that definitely outshined the others, but all of the projects were endearing in their own way. Can't wait to see the results!

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

The duality of my IG stories from a year ago

Had a bad day today but feeling a bit of warmth and hope seeing states around the US passing impactful bills and electing good officials. I need this tiny shred of hopecore.

Friends, I am looking to c0mmission a l0go/art piece of a cat wearing a powdered wig or ruff in a vintage style like below. Any recommendations?!

Dream Saturday night

She won.

When I see a YouTube video critiquing Late Stage Capitalism and the thumbnail is very obviously made with AI </3

I am so excited for y'all to see this you have no idea. The teams at 12 Sided Studios and Paragon Pictures did everything they could to bring such a magical one-shot for the Cosmere RPG to life.

A teen who was trick or treating today complimented both my hair and my makeup so apparently I’m cool now

As someone who works on social media and community management, you kinda learn to ignore mean comments online, but man...we just got the most "I'm a white guy with an opinion" comment of all time today. It is hard for it to not ruin my day just from the sheer ignorance.

Big news: my husband finally followed me back after years on this platform

Okay!! The publisher has given me the green light to make the ✨ *BIG ANNOUNCEMENT* ✨ I worked on an IP-based social deduction game coming out next year!!!!!! And not only that—but it’s based on the Netflix show Wednesday!!! 🦇💀 Cover reveal coming in the future!! 🎲✂️

I'm thinking about doing Invisalign based on recommendations from my dentist. Does anybody have any experience with it and do you recommend it? Pros: will make flossing 10x easier me Cons: I don't have orthodontic coverage so will be $$$

when someone accuses RPG artwork to be "ai slop" without checking the tags and seeing that the credited artist is anti-ai 🔪🔪🔪

Wondering if anyone has any good books or articles to share about the commercialization of (mostly American) holidays? Doing a small research project on capitalism and "the holidays" and looking for a good read! Thx!

Halloween costume ideas for birders.

The new edition of March of the Ants is smoother and better developed, but still retains the original game's intertangled turns and canny eusocial atmosphere. For a 4X that doesn't take all evening, this is the good stuff. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/10/22/m...

Starting Feb. 26, this feed will cover in-depth boardgame news, reviews, essays, interviews & more. I'll also be writing/editing rulebooks and taking consulting projects for publishers & designers. New site coming soon. Join me on Mastodon or Lemmy (see bio). Contact: wericmartin at proton dot me

You can change your mind upon the discovery of new information

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Cooked broccoli for dinner so now the entire house smells like a fart :(

Only 1 week to go until JourneyMon goes live on Kickstarter! Are you ready to create your first companion monster and explore the world with your friends? Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/ilg...

Listening to Cowboy Carter for the umpteenth time, and I still cannot believe that people thought this didn't deserve AOTY.

Eric and I are watching all the movies from The Conjuring universe…and Annabelle is just a horrible movie. A black woman sacrifices herself for a white family…and they just move on from it so quickly? It was very jarring.

D&D character concept: M'unc A way of the drunken master monk that is traveling with a slightly younger group and is coming to terms with not knowing current slang/lingo.

Housewarming party was a success. Mostly because it finally made us hang up all of our artwork 👀

No tracking or charts tonight, hosting a housewarming with my beautiful beautiful wife @meanpomelo.bsky.social

I hate living in Ohio because I have to see cars with the stupidest bumper stickers like “Free Trump” and “I stand with Israel” with a ton of other stickers mentioning how the person reading them needs to repent for their sins. Hypocrites.

buy my weird licensed game please, I don't think it's likely anyone's going to let me do an IP game again lol hollandspiele.com/products/bel...

My husband is designing a board game, and we got Dominant Species for a pretty good price as research. Never played it before, but it arrives on Monday!

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

I posted this on TikTok about 2 months ago and can’t help but laugh at it still. Flash warning for those that are sensitive to flashing lights!

I cannot imagine being a teenage girl online right now because what do you mean that the size of your philtrum is a new beauty standard/thing to be worried about?

easily one of the hardest hitting liminal space photos of all time I think... it's no heathrow holiday inn express courtyard but definitely still a choice contender for backroom music playlist thumbnails, instupendo's six forty seven will start playing any minute (but not comfort chain)

Lots of really big crowdfunding campaigns and preorders launching today. Here's to tossing in my little project! You can find RITE: A Midwinter Sacrament #TTRPG #zine below. You can grab it for $7 and receive it before the bleak midwinter. 7 day campaign. Thanks for sharing.

Thinking about how I met Matt Mercer backstage at the Gen Con opening ceremony and it was the most awkward experience ever. I completely blacked out because a.) I'm a weirdo and b.) I just got off stage after presenting to 300+ people...and someone just bulldozed me over while I was shaking his hand
