Just watched Superman on DVD, my first time since seeing it in the theatre with my son in July, and maybe my memory is playing tricks on me, but a few moments felt timed/cut differently than the theatrical release. At the climactic end when Lex calls Superman a "piece of shit alien" the...

Absolutely true. You read the descriptions and think, Libraries? Yes. Healthcare facility? Yes. Sidewalks, bike lanes, overpasses, trails? Yes. Housing and shelters? Yes. "Making Denver better in these ways is worth borrowing money for." You're not thinking "What a good Mayor."

I had a dream I was working with a piece of vector art of a guy with three tentacles, trying to use a vector fill tool to add more tentacles, and it kept adding them in a very symmetrical and un-dynamic way and I kept reverting and tweaking the settings and trying again. But I couldn't...

Don't you wish you had a zine coming in the mail today? #zines #ttrpg

I had a wonderful time this evening presenting solo journaling games to some delightful folks! I printed out some one-page games for trying right away and shared some of my favorites from my game library.

It's pizza topped with mozzarella, rotisserie chicken, sliced tomatillos, and a pesto made from almonds, italian parsley, garlic, and olive oil.

This is apparently what I look like when I'm talking about journaling games. (Photo by @lexshoots.bsky.social taken at #DenverZineFest a week and a half ago) #journalGaming 🖋📓

So many artists, writers, and designers I know have learned this lesson the tedious way, so let me co-sign this and say not only is it a huge waste of time and labor to listen to the "I'd buy that" crowd online, you will also lose money. Make what *you* want to make, everything else is noise

finance guys on twitter are like "can't believe zohran hired lina khan. she wants to make it illegal to bundle memecoin futures into junk stocks and sell them to public worker pension plans. the public won't stand for it."

Two tastes that go great together 😜 ??

Yes this exactly what we mean. If you want everyone in your group to have their own copy, we want to make that a little easier for you. This also makes it easier for people like @friede.bsky.social and @guyintheblackhat.bsky.social and @czamboni.bsky.social to pick up classroom copies.

Someone turn the rude setting to "warn" and tell me if I'm someone it warns about?

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I was one of the first people to donate to Mamdani's campaign and TBH I thought I was donating to keep a dream alive, even though the dream was not going to become a reality Choose hope. Choose to dream. Choose a just in case we win scenario. Sometimes we do. Go forward knowing that, fam.

Playing an immersive journaling game is an act of entering a world and being created by it as a truer self. There is a compelling history of writing about such experiences. You should consider telling about yours. #journalGaming #ttrpg

my name is Charlotte Laskowski. I make art and tabletop games and computers and I have pronouns! here are pictures that explain who I am

Not the D&D dungeon master in Iowa! 🤣

Hello gamers I'm opening *emergency* graphic design commissions, to help me keep my healthcare due this friday.

Colorado's shock of the night if this holds, but Republican firebrand Danielle Jurinsky narrowly trails in her Aurora City Council re-elect bid. Jurinsky built a national profile on immigration via Fox News and the Trump campaign, but she trails two Dems in a pick-two race. #copolitics

A neighbor left apples out to take from their two trees and then this happened.

Can I please be this perceptive, and articulate, and undiminished at ninety-one?

I am stunned that NPR considers the two Colorado ballot proposals for funding free school meals and SNAP to be significant enough to people nationally to track live results for them along with VA Governor, NJ Governor, and NYC Mayor.

I've never done tarot readings for anyone but myself, because it would suck for the querant if I did. I have to sit with a card, or a spread, for so long, for days, turning it over in my head, writing about it in my journal, before my understanding really coheres. #tarot #witchSky #tarotSky

Today's ko-fi upload is Descent in Silver and Glass! A solo TTRPG played with a tarot deck, it's a Choose Your Own Adventure style story about a flawed Heir Apparent undergoing the ritual that will (hopefully) make them fit to rule. ko-fi.com/s/340f11c10e

One of the things I wrote about in Inscapes is what it feels like to encounter the real when you're playing a journaling game.

No poll functionality on Bluesky. I wonder if you all would have agreed. #JournalGaming

There’s a lot of burnout in this hobby, and many of the reasons are mundane. The money sucks. The community is contentious. All valid. But there is also the emotional toll of creating something that feels like it should MATTER and throwing it into an uncaring void. That can wear you out, hard.

Councilman Kevin Flynn— a sponsor of 2G — said “so what?” to the flood of dark money backing it to defeat progressives in At-Large city council races. Maybe corporate interests, Republicans and One Main Street buying Denver elections isn’t a big deal to him — but it is to voters. Vote NO on 2G!

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

The Vibrant Denver Bond packages similar projects, to build community buy-in and prevent controversial projects from being rejected. I asked Mayor Johnston why voters should have to approve projects to assist the Broncos' billionaire owners in order to fix crumbling bridges.

Profound, yet terrifying.

Sometimes the words just flow, and sometimes it's a real fight. The opening of Two Raw Morsels came so easy. Today's work on a different game is a little rough. Have you read Two Raw Morsels? What did you think? paulczege.itch.io/two-raw-mors...

“Thank you, sir,” Cuomo said with tears in his eyes.

Someone asked why I often write "game/zine" in my posts. It's because making journaling games I play and publish is a living metaphysical part of myself. They're not just games. They're not just publications. The making is the self is the game is the zine. 📓🖋 #journalGaming

Yesterday's workshop reminded me why creating journaling games bring me joy: they enable people to step outside themselves, and in so doing, see themselves more clearly... 1/▶️

Great day at DC Zinefest yesterday! The solo journaling games workshop with @stickydoodler.bsky.social and @bigpuffingames.bsky.social went great! Picked up some awesome looking zines! Had pesto ramen!

Now the Dodgers have to decide if they're going to accept the invitation to the White House.

It keeps killing me. I'm sitting here so dead.

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing. There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

A reminder: if you write book reviews or want to pitch a review, I have a new book coming out in January. It's a collection of speculative short stories from @jacklegpress.bsky.social Getting eyes on books gets harder and harder, so I'd be grateful!
