(1/4) Suicide is a leading cause of death among U.S. youth, and we see its impact firsthand. But compassionate care, evidence-based treatment, and early intervention can make a real difference.

I’m at the @ushmm.bsky.social US Holocaust Memorial Museum today. It is our responsibility to remember the past & ensure that ALL human beings are treated with dignity. Stand against those who want to dehumanize people & convince you that someone who is not like you is not entitled to human rights.

In the day-to-day news blizzard, it can be all too easy to overlook the steady improvements that biomedical research has achieved. The latest American Cancer Society report shows why the work matters. "Since 1970, the cancer death rate has declined by 70% in children and by 63% in adolescents..."

But also it would be nice to get followers on it before we launch so we at least make a little bit of money to cover the costs of printing/art/graphic design/editing/marketing 👀 tinyurl.com/mccffn3e

Haunted West is such a great game. Both an amazing reference for underappreciated history of the American West (& the people of that time and place whose stories are often overlooked) & a great fit for spooky season. This massive tome is also hands-down the best value in an RPG out there… 1/2

I’m reading Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House right now and it made me go back and reread Monte Cook Games’ The Darkest House, which is so well done. I’m excited to see what they do with The Darkest Woods, which is currently funding on Backerkit. www.backerkit.com/c/projects/m...

The Mason of New Orleans and The Angel of Ecbatana by Charles Ryan - 2 novels of historical mystery & action with a touch of horror and the supernatural. Charles makes great stuff for Monte Cook Games & this campaign for his novels - including audiobook versions! - looks really cool. bit.ly/3X4VTqk

These 3 games look phenomenal. In particular I've watched or listened to a lot of games run by Fiona @wairpodcast.bsky.social and really really enjoyed them. I look forward to watching all of these games, and learning from these cool GMs' examples!

I had the privilege of getting to design the Portland Public Library's holiday card this year. Really pleased with how this turned out <3

Nice article about therapeutic use of Dungeons and Dragons. Features @meganpsyd.bsky.social who is a leader in this space and a very thoughtful therapist and GM. As a child and adolescent psychiatrist and TTRPG aficionado, I find this topic very interesting! www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
