Needed a quiet day today. #selfcare

Freya being pretty next to the latest Valdemar anthology I'm in (with @mariebilodeau.bsky.social).

Do you have a TESLA but you don't want people to vandalize it? Atone for your sins by supporting trans rights aka giving this trans woman here like a hundred bucks so she can pay her rent via purchasing a bumper sticker that says "I paid a trans woman $100 for this bumper sticker plz no vandalize".

A dear friend is Sbux union leader through Workers United and she clued me into 3 things. Starbucks has not signed a contract with the workers for 4 years. Starbucks has more union violations than any other company in the US. Shareholders are demanding they settle. Keep boycotting.

Snurched from J.R. Cason, whom I do not know, but it provides a handy way to say that there are only 19 reviews of SUPERNATURAL CRIMES UNIT: NYPD Book 1 on Amazon and it would be REALLY FABULOUS if there were 31 more to hit that 50-review threshold. Thank you! www.amazon.com/Supernatural...

Amazing work from whoever was up in N6914W over Ohio … www.flightaware.com/live/flight/...

Trump's approval ratings are tanking. He's flailing on the economy. Epstein haunts him. Republicans are beginning to revolt against him. He's not all powerful. A tyrant can exercise tyranny only insofar as the objects of his tyranny continue to allow it. Remember this.

It’s always DM can I roll for investigation and never DM can I tell you how beautiful you look right now? Absolutely, stunning sitting behind your DM screen plotting away at our collective demise.

Sooo close to finishing my first quarter un grad school. My kitty, Freya, would like me to play, and failing that, sleep now.

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

This is brilliant! Please share. So many people are afraid and need help. Libraries have the answers. #library #libraries #askforhelp #answers #books #reading #read #booksky #answers #knowledge #knowledgeispower 📚

We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment. There’s a far simpler way to get rid of Citizens United. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

Timeline cleanse for #twocatstuesday

Wonder why this scene looks so familiar... #WildlifeWednesday 🐦🐕

Did we just set all our clocks to "fall back" right now in the middle of the afternoon? Hell yes. I hate changing of the clock time of the year and having to re-calibrate. It's unnecessary in this day and age-along with so many other things like, you know, masked thugs arresting US citizens.

A portion of every dollar spent on Harry Potter merchandise goes to anti-transgender campaigns.

Suzallo library quiet reading room, no id required. Gorgeous space.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Libraries are very important to me. They hold a place of honor in helping me become the person I am. They taught me about the Earth, people, animals, plants, the cosmos, and the Craft. I will always fight for libraries. I 💙 Libraries.

Signing at Northwest and Guests this morning at booth 704, 10-11:30am

Also I got my second rocket. I'm so damn pleased with it!

Blog: Gifting to Myself and Others. Sometimes, you just have to commission some fun art when you're at a convention. In this case: “a Schrödinger’s Hugo winner/loser cat.” @alinapete.bsky.social jenniferbrozek.com/blog/post/20...

I laud you! Well done!

Laud me, for today I have balanced my checkbook, logged all my freelancer expenses from Gen*Con, did 2 loads of laundry, made a blog post, and caught up on my "follow up" email.

Celebrating 15 Gen Cons with a Postcard from Indy - which comes with an actual postcard!!

You know at the end of a con when you browse your pictures and delete duplicates or ones of the coupon book? Well, if I scroll a bit back, I find a cat picture, so enjoy.

Had a great #gencon this year. Played in 3 commander events, got 5 shock lands, and some good prize cards. Also, played commander with Ify Nwadiwe and got some signatures and pics :)

“Arghh! Shiver me timbers”

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together. With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection. If that matters to you, now’s the time to act. Donate: n.pr/458sOhq

Hey @ultimateguard.bsky.social Can you not make HP deck boxes? JK Rowling uses her wealth to harm Trans folks. Like me. And a ton of your customers. And a ton of customers who care about us Just don't. Don't give me a reason to pick a different brand

Er...in the lobby of the Omni Severin. Come by and say hello.

Prospector voice rules, from @ifycomedy.com to @tolariancommunitycollege.com from #GenCon

Gen Con is amazing, exhausting, and exactly what I needed. Old friends and new. My peers are awesome in all senses of the word. #GCWS is so good this year. Kudos to @mauricebroaddus.bsky.social @ginikoch.bsky.social and everyone else behind the scenes. It's one of the best run events here.

Congratulations John, I had to search out this video, and damn, I like the vocal coach, he gets a subscription. It's "Tim Welch Vocal Studio" on youtube.

My dislike of fireworks and my desire to go to bed at a reasonable time make tonight a very difficult evening.

The most majestic thing you will see on #bluesky today. 😇
