Going to conventions in your late 40s just makes you a kind of tired that only chronically ill young people can understand.

That's sure a funny way to refer to the blatantly antisemitic interaction you initiated with them.

Anyone else feeling a sense of impending doom or is it just me?

I am so tired of having a migraine.

Happy Caturday from Inch, me, and my broken ankle

They're pushing Newsom super hard hoping you forget there is still plenty of time to find a good candidate that doesn't throw trans rights into the garbage, because fuck voting for that piece of shit. THERE'S EASILY TIME. We can do better. You don't get to throw people's human rights & dignity away.

Inch’s healing purrs be upon ye!

I have officially registered for Gulf Wars. Your girl gonna be living that medieval life for 9 days?!?

We won 3 out of 3 games! I am not so bold as to think my percentage of contribution to that win was about 25%, as Mr Rav has been playing magic for decades and I've been playing since September, but everyone at Peach State Games was SO lovely, staff and players alike. Support your local game store!

Playing in my first #magicthegathering tournament. At least it’s a two-headed giant and Mr. Rav can catch my mistakes!

Accidental Lorwyn Turtles. Going in the wrong pack: turtle power! (It scans, trust me; I have a degree in this)

Lorwyn seems pretty typey so I don’t even think there’s a benefit to playing a ninja turtle. Maybe I will be so lucky as to be presented with this ethical dilemma tomorrow at my first tournament! Probably not.

Oh to have my biggest problem being unsure if I can play a ninja turtle in my Lorwyn Eclipsed draft! Simple problems! Joyful problems!

I’m just so tired. Printing high decibel whistles for my son’s whole GSA because ICE is doing sweeps around the metro ATL area. I figured 30 baby queers with ultra loud whistles are better than one. They have such a diverse student body at his school, and I want them all safe.

Cis people, if trans people say someone is a transphobe believe us. We're actually paying attention to that because it's a matter of survival, so yes we know better than you do, for whom it's way down on the list of priorities

I don’t want ICE “reformed” or “restructured” or even just defunded. I want it dismantled. I want it stripped doen to component parts. I want ICE uniforms burned in the streets. I want these Nazi pigs tried and convicted in a system they think they’re above. Fuck ICE and ACAB always forever.

I would like to play a trrpg set in the world of The Last of Us. Who’s gonna give me some fungus zombies?

we have a fascist party and we have a party of fascist enablers

I’m running my first class of Conventions 101 for teens and okder tweens on Outschool this Saturday. $10 off with coupon code AMCLANEWFAN10 outschool.com/classes/conv...

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”

The one thing they don’t tell you about having children is if you treat them with respect and compassion, they will grow up to be people who text you on the way home from school to ask if you want a diet coke from the QuikTrip*. *I always want a diet coke from the QuikTrip, but sweet that he asks!

"i’m not fucking doing this again." i'd vote for that

(How you are supposed to "reform & retrain" ICE—an agency oversupplied with underqualified bullies who've been pursuing a vicious campaign of racist violence while demonstrating loyalty to Trump and not to the Constitution or the law—I don't really know.)

On February 1st I’ll have been running the same weekly Masks game for 4 years. Accounting for holidays and cons, that’s 45+ sessions yearly. I’ve watched my players go from 12/13 to two of them turning 18 and graduating later this year. @magpiegames.bsky.social really did make the game of all time!

During the first Trump administration, when I had no out queer/trans kids, I went to a fuckton of rallies and protests and marches, often alone or with one other adult. I found a group of younger queer or POC protestors and attached myself to them with their permission. Why? I look like me. 1/?

In the field experiment, real employers called back childless women at more than twice the rate of mothers. Fathers, by contrast, faced no penalty and sometimes received a bonus.

My middle kid (19) is running a D&D campaign for his partner, and his partner's sibling and friends. All the players believe they are playing a Strixhaven-esque magic school game. They are actually playing Call of Cthulhu where the central figure is the King in Yellow. Cannot wait for this reveal.

I keep sighing loudly like a Regency protagonist with ennui

Only my fellow tumblrinas will appreciate the command tower I’m using in my werewolf tribal command deck

Queer joy. QUEER JOY! That’s it, that’s the thing, it’s the point. Queer joy queer joy queer joy #queerjoy #heatedrivalry

My sweets. My preciouses. My Christmas treasures. Wanna build a whole deck around Ellie!

Yes, my son and I watched the gay hockey show together, because this fandom is about bisexual woman and gay dude solidarity! Also, it’s a whole lot less *gestures* than whatever Will and Hannibal had going on and we watched that together, too.

Actually managed some longterm strategy and won a four person commander game with Triskaidekaphile.

My kid loves wolves & coyotes and Santa still visits him even though he’s 16 and drives. Shhh. Let me have this for just another year or two. He’s my last baby.

I gotta say, I solo tag wrangled NFL RPF on AO3 for like 8 years and modeled our entire tag tree off the Hockey RPF tags because it’s such a well wrangled fandom. I get a lot of folks are still coming from a place of secrecy or even shame re: fanfic, especially RPF, but AO3 is a public archive. 1/?

I was equally normal about it, don’t worry!!!

Unsure whether to pick up one of my manuscripts and work on a new draft or to start something new, but I'm actually itching to write.

I wish I were doing more professional things in the trrpg area. Must drown my sorrow in gay hockey romance, I guess.

Thanks for the mention @katthedungeonmom.bsky.social I’m always happy to talk about not freaking out because your kid’s a furry or therian! Gimme a holler :)

I had a blast chatting with @reneplaysgames.bsky.social about everything from #gaming to #parenting to #furry culture! Check out the episode to hear us go off on tangents about our favorite titles from @montecookgames.com and @goosepoopgames.com

POTUS IS ‘JUICELESS’. I REPEAT, THERE IS NO JUICE

I feel like 46 is a weird age to suddenly find markiplier hot but I just saw Iron Lung gifs and that man is quite nice looking. The kids were right this whole time!

My father has been dead for five years. It feels like forever and also like no time at all. More than anything, it feels profoundly unfair. As @richardsiken.bsky.social so eloquently put it, "Someone has to leave first. This is a very old story. There is no other version of this story."

"I can walk faster than you run" is the most annoying thing to say to a slow runner. You think I don't know I'm slow? *I* can walk faster than I run because I have the gait of a magnificent pomeranian. This is why I run on a treadmill in a dim room, y'all. I hate being perceived.

Gonna make a mousedeck. Commander Mabel the Cragflame and all mice. When other players attack me I will say, “But sir, I’m just a mouse!” Yes this plan is excellent.
