Merry Mabon! 🍁🍎

For the rest of September at least, maybe into October, I'll only stream on Saturday AMs. This school year's workload is a bit heavier than last year and I need Sundays to get reorganized.

The month of September wants my kneecaps, man.

Sept. 8:

K-Pop Demon Hunters opened the door. ADHD did the rest. The Hyperfixation continues & is helping me survive the start of the school year. If I don’t listen to Bouncy by ATEEZ in the morning before work, the whole day is thrown off. I’ll eventually post about D&D and other TTRPGs again. I promise.

I think I’m gonna try streaming in the afternoon this weekend, mostly because I’m enjoying playing Angel Hours MTG with the pod for the first time in ages. I love Morning Magic.

Funniest Insult I’ve Ever Heard in a Middle School Classroom: “You give off Discord Moderator Energy.” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

I’m Raging Against the Machine… aka sitting through AI in Education Meetings as a Fine Arts Teacher…

We interrupt your scroll for a brief announcement. After weeks of consideration & research... My band is ATEEZ. I am now ATINY. My bias is between San and Seonghwa. I acknowledge that I am too weak to choose. My deepest regret is learning about them as the NA Tour ends. Thank you for your time. 😌

I just played Daggerheart. I get it now. 😌

And the students aren’t even in the building yet…😶 You can be stoked for the new school year and completely wiped by the end of the week.Both things can be true. Year 8 begins. Time to stare at a wall.

I made a Chibi model of Mr. Mere! It has 12 interchangeable eyes and mouths and he’s gonna use it on a few of his upcoming video projects. I feel really proud of myself, not gonna lie. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed dedicating entire days of this summer to being completely creative.

Random Story from the Classroom: Last year, the school opened a song request form for the Summer Kickoff dance. A bunch of middle schoolers requested Mongolian throat-singing as a joke. As a teacher, it is my duty to take what kids find funny and make it educational.

If you know, you know. 😉 I’ve got 20+ students in a D&D Club and we learn a lot from our characters. Both at the table and beyond. What lessons did you learn playing D&D

Safety First, kiddos. ☝️ Turn that thing off. 📲 mashable.com/article/how-...

Well, just read a novel thru the night til sunrise. I’m sure this will have no repercussions at all.

This week on Cast Away: The Desert we - Looked for a knife - Had an emotional goodbye - Raised over $1000 for The ACLU I love this show a whole awful lot, thank all of you who have donated and made this show so special Penultimate episode next week!

I'm still looking to submit this! For clarity, I seek a panel of... - diverse voices - >50% BIPOC - current/recent K-12 educators - active facilitators of TTRPGs for young folks - grownups of young folks who benefit from TTRPGs If you fit, reach out. If not, please amplify. Thanks!

Educators in the TTRPG Space: anyone interested in cooking up a panel for PAXU on how storytelling in RPGs can promote critical thinking and SEL (social-emotional learning) and how to help trusted adults facilitate that for young people?

Full transparency… It’s a little hard to pinpoint how much everything is going to cost financially, so Prof and I raised the goal for the GoFundMe. There is no pressure to keep supporting! But huge thank you for all of the amazing support while I go through treatment! gofund.me/9a6d3da6

It’s never the ones you suspect. 😳 I’ve got 20+ middle schoolers in a D&D Club and there are some interesting characters. Literally. What character would middle school YOU have made? #dungeonsanddragons #middleschoolteacher #ttrpg #charactercreation #teacher #teachers #dndclub #dnd

So refreshinggggg…my little soda pop! 🫧👏🏻 Fueled entirely by KPop Demon Hunters, ADHD, a new iPad, and Summer Break insomnia, I made this little doodle and learned how to make a repeating pattern in Procreate from a white lady on YouTube. It felt nice to make this silly little thing. ☺️

Okay, it's time for me to start making some short form videos. I'm expecting it to be a hot mess express of history, theatre, teacher, TTRPG, and school D&D club things, along with the occasional stream clip. What do YOU want to see?

Just finished watching KPop Demon Hunters. I need to play a Magical Girl TTRPG immediately.

Join us each Tuesday this summer as @craigofinspiration and @ohhellomere explore the wonderful world of Minecraft. Cozy vibes & TTRPG talk guaranteed!

If I had known ahead of time that my dream last night was gonna be about me as a Guest DM running a section from Curse of Strahd for the cast of Critical Role IN MY HOUSE, I swear I would have prepped the session AND cleaned my living room better than that! 😨

You're not gonna BELIEVE what we're up to today! (it's more minecraft) twitch.tv/ohhellomere

Teacher Mere is finally on Summer Break! 🔆 twitch.tv/ohhellomere

After years of waiting and changes, I am finally attending an AP Summer Institute! Prior to accepting my current position, I was on my way to attend for AP World History, but next week I am gonna dive headlong into AP Art History.

I'll be at PAXU! I’m there to hang out with folks and play games, but if you think I'd fit into a liveplay game or panel, or if you wanna hear a tired secondary school teacher talk about what it's like to run a D&D club for middle schoolers, I'm available!

We return to our Children of the Periphery series with @rinahaenze.bsky.social @jedigirl.bsky.social @ohhellomere.bsky.social and John - as a meeting with the Major General has some serious consequences. #cypher #scifi #ttrpg #actualplay directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

Giving myself a little treat to kick off summer by listening to the Hamilton soundtrack all the way through and softly sobbing at my desk to “It’s Quiet Uptown” like the good old days. 🥹

Officially on Summer Break!

History has its eyes on you.

It's like they MADE this for ME! Is it time for Anno 117: Pax Romana yet? www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBXN...
