#ZionNationalPark was the definition of awe-inspiring. Tremendous in its magnificence and magnitude. I am so grateful to have experuenced it this week. Please support our National Parks, they are incredible treasures. 🌳🌈❤️ #supportNPS #findyourpark

Super cute collab between @cinniharpy.bsky.social @pepperandpals.bsky.social @birdhism.com. Thanks so much for helping me surprise this amazing guy with the perfect d20.❤️ #birb #cockatiel #d20

A beautiful friend once said to me that before you speak, the words should pass through these gates in your mind: Is it truthful? Is it helpful? Is it kind? While I’ll never have perfect discernment, I have found it to be a practice well worth the pursuit.

Bonus #PRC10 sidequest to see Chicago family. ❤️❤️ Perfect end to the trip!

So much to absorb from a week in Chicago at @peerreviewcongress.bsky.social. Grateful to all who organized and spoke at this incredible meeting! #PRC10

That’s a wrap on the 10th Peer Review Congress! Thanks to all for attending & following - we will repost in the following days & weeks to keep it all alive. Thanks to contributors and superfans @lexbouter.bsky.social @elisabethbik.bsky.social @abalkina.bsky.social and others for the amplification!

A tremendous, heartbreaking performance of one of my favorite shows. Parade was incredible. Bittersweet--the last tickets of the subscription I bought last fall. I will miss the Kennedy Center and hope one day it is back in the hands of those who truly champion artistic expression.

#MyChemicalRomance put on a hell of a show last night in Philly. Long live the black parade!

Summer with @admiralturtle.bsky.social is pretty special. ☀️❤️🙂

In my office working and my partner is in the next room playing Death Stranding 2. BB starts loudly crying and I'm annoyed for half a second, but then realize I'll never have to hear a baby crying in the next room while I'm trying to work for real and a wave of euphoria washes over me

#WolfTrap National Park is a special, incredible venue and an awesome place to see #WeirdAl tonight! #findyourpark #supportnationalparks

I turned 40 this weekend and it was a fantastic start to a new decade. ❤️ Dinner with my love, a sleepover with our friends, and lots of laughing. Perfect.

This was a delightful, unexpected journey and is so worth a listen. Tremendously grateful that this podcast exists!

I shared a little about #FiftyStatesOfSwings and the 42 states I've seen thus far. You can see my contribution around 57:45 in this video, but honestly the whole festival is so very worth watching. What an incredibly creative community. Thanks for hosting this @minnmax.bsky.social!!

I shared a short doc on my quest to swing my mace + hike in all 50 states as part of this! The #minnmax community is exceptionally creative and talented. Definitely check out the festival on youtube next week if you couldn't tune in on twitch tonight. #dadofallbugs #sparkbird #savethewatersphere

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

I'm so confident Pew Pew Bang could have like 5 million followers if the right people were exposed to it. Do you have people in your life who love games but hate listening to a bunch of dudes talk about them? Show them Pew Pew Bang!! It's the podcast that's also a slumber party!

Happy #WorldParrotDay to this cutie patootie! #King 👑

Best early birthday present ever. Can't believe I get to experience this. <3 @admiralturtle.bsky.social making more of my dreams come true!

Cabaret was beautiful, top to bottom and start to finish. Everything felt purposeful and wow live theater is as close to real magic as there is.

Eleven years sober. This year I've performed in a Prince-themed musical about scientific publishing in front of industry peers, worn cosplay that involved copious red body paint at a con of 25k, + attended robot prom in a rhinestone bustier. I assure you sobriety is joyful and definitely not boring.

News doesn’t get much better than this in the games media space. A huge congratulations to Giant Bomb’s new owners.

Lemon-print suit update for @gameonysus.bsky.social @kelslewin.bsky.social @sarahpodz.bsky.social @haleyfax.bsky.social. Thanks so much for the styling advice on @pewpewbang.bsky.social! I got so many compliments at the conference and felt great. You're the real heroes! 🍋❤️

1/4: Anything I can say about #GiantBomb would be an understatement. Some things are just inextricably woven into your fabric of life experience, and that’s been GB in mine for the better part of almost 15 years. (Thread of priceless photos to follow...⬇️)

Listen, if the keynote session of this conference being a Prince-themed musical about scientific publishing doesn't pull you in, I'm not sure what will. Join us! It's going to be a great meeting.

Needless to say I will no longer be contributing to Giant Bomb. Nothing but love to all the wonderful people from there and GameSpot. Jeff was a workhorse and a hero for the way he shouldered so much responsibility there, and I am furious with the way execs treated him. We aren’t going anywhere.

If I could tell the 18-year-old on the left anything, it would be thank you, I love you, and it's going to be so much better than just okay. 21 years since your leap of faith. The 39-year-old on the right is so grateful for your bravery. ❤️

The new longest episode ever of @pewpewbang.bsky.social just dropped! It's a walk down memory lane for the Game Boy Advance, starting with kid Kelsey's adorable reaction to getting one for Christmas. Watch the full episode here (also available in your podcast app of choice): youtu.be/mB7TwWKCkAA

Another excellent episode discussing everything from the art of subtle video game references in suiting to some of the most cursed items I've ever seen. Bravo. 👏

Haven't been able to swing my mace since Oct. No clue how long this reprieve will last, but while it's here I will practice and enjoy. Eight states still to swing in after all. 🙂 #FiftyStatesOfSwings

Ah crap, there goes the life where I wasn’t thinking about Blue Prince all the time

If you have a dictionary that you don't show love Oh, yes, son, we're talking to you.

Bioethics and politics are inextricable - how can bioethicists meet the moment? My most recent in the Hastings Bioethics Forum - www.thehastingscenter.org/how-bioethic...

Two amazing shows with the best date ever (@admiralturtle.bsky.social)! Loads of fun at @operationmincemeat.bsky.social and @twentysidedtavern.bsky.social in NYC.

Izakaya Mew was fabulous! Perfect way to kick off an NYC trip with @admiralturtle.bsky.social

it's Mario Kart, Michael. what could it cost? eighty dollars?

We salute 🫡 Sen. Corey Booker for honoring the legacy of the late John Lewis by getting in “Good Trouble” and disrupting business as usual on the Senate floor because we know the last 70 days have NOT been normal.

#Peakbloom for #cherryblossoms in DC is a fleeting, beautiful moment. 🌸❤️

Rawlings Conservatory might be the best zen spot in Baltimore. ❤️ And the company is pretty fantastic too!
