Still thinking about Freak Squad...

Here is the deal: on Saturday, if you come and donate money for abortion access, Danni will beat all the bosses of Dark Souls 3 at level 1. We'll have many guests to make fun of his many deaths. We'll laugh a lot. And over the course of 10-15 hours, we'll hopefully raise a lot of money.

God, the idea of an Elizabethan/Jacobean era blades setting is extremely cool.

Ahhh! So excited for this!

(BTW, if you played that Salvager's Isle game I wrote a few years back, you would really fucking like Widow's Bay on Apple TV. Bizarrely similar vibes there.) mynarlenahan.itch.io/salvagers-isle

Just finished Mixtape and, MAN, that was so damn good. To keep on trend with all the wild takes everyone's been making about it, I think it was better than Life Is Strange.

We're making @badsavingthrow.bsky.social defeat all the bosses of Dark Souls 3, and you can donate money to keep him from leveling up. It's PREPARE TO GIVE, and it's benefitting abortion access again! Mark your calendars!

Me, watching The Odyssey trailer: Show me sailors turning into pigs, you cowards!

Okay, I have a question for #GreekHistory or #GreekMyth twitter (or bluesky or whatever): What was day-to-day worship of the Greek Gods like? Did they believe in the Gods and Demi-Gods as people that walked the same world as them? Or were they primarily metaphorical characters?

not sure if I shared that this paper we wrote came out but looking at it again, it's sort of cool that we could cite so many podcasts and blogs from folks like @phophos.bsky.social @thirdfloorwars.bsky.social and @aavoigt.bsky.social in an academic setting
