So hey @benbrode.bsky.social if I asked you to sign your Magic card this weekend would you? 😁

Baldur's Gate 3 Paladin of Umberlee idea dropped.

Announcement If we have interacted meaningfully online, to any degree, and 1) you're at MagicCon 2) we've never met, and 3) I don't get to meet you: I will be sad. Meet and Greet: 10:30am-Noon at Creator Central Meet, Greet, & FREE Pai Gow: 1pm-3pm at Girudo See you soon. 💖

The professional practice of asking for references is so silly. What do you think a hand-selected list of people are going to say about me?

This is the greatest thing I have seen all day and if you’re not seeing it right now that is OK because I will be posting it over and over and over again

Some transgender people see only darkness in front and behind them. The current climate is especially accelerating this. Transgender people just want to love the people they love and live their lives as themselves. Let's all join hands and change the world🫶🌏🫶

Me: WOW THERE ARE SO MANY AMAZING FOOD PLACES TO TRY, WHAT SHOULD I DO FIRST. Also Me: Fuck I am so damn tired and there's a Margaritaville I can hit without leaving the condo. And they comp to the room.

MagicCon Atlanta tips: 1. All of the good out-of-town food is in The Village and adjacent Little Five Points. 2. All of the good bars are also in this area if you don't suck. 3. You will find parking at neither of these places. Get an Uber. 4. You needed to know a weed guy before you got there.

A lot of folks view their vote as a little gift they give to a politician who catches their fancy, rather than an act of collective action on behalf of the less fortunate. You are not giving out a rose on The Bachelor, you're acting in solidarity with millions of other people.

*insert Fry I'm Shocked GIF here*

Also for ##MCATLANTA folks the Food Shoppe is great Creole food but they do NOT skimp on portion sizes! So so good though. Probably not the best to eat when you are running on 30 hours no sleep though... 🫠

ATLANTA I AM IN YOU! And currently staying at the Margaritaville for my fellow Magic peeps. Nothing going on today aside from finding some local caffeine and recovering from no sleep last night. But hey, if anyone wants to come play foosball I got you covered!

"Noooooo don't claim MY baggage, daddy!"

If anyone recognizes me at the Atlanta Airport, I apologize in advance for being a cranky bear but I have literally not slept since Tuesday night. 🫠🫠🫠🫠🫠 Hoping to nap in the flight down...

I wish more people would embrace a full on sulk to get it out of the system; instead of trying to positive vibes & uwu a bad day out of someone. Let people stew in their bad feelings sometimes. Especially if they just need bad feelings hour to move past it (eventually).

As someone around for Web 1.0, I can’t tell you how disappointing it is that the promise of a world-wide communication platform with infinite possibilities has become a dead, dystopian wasteland of shit ruled by the worst people trying to harvest every ounce of humanity for profit.

shoulda done the cull when I suggested it

Bat signal to all of my friends heading to Magic Con Atlanta. If you’re heading to the artist alley and visit Sergey Glushakov’s booth, I’m looking to pick up an artist proof of Meticulous Archive, and The Seriema. Foil preferred if available. I’ll send the funds and a money for your time.

And then there’s this fucking guy, bravely avoiding any conflict or sense of duty to the American public. YOU CAN’T HAVE BIPARTISANSHIP IF THE OTHER SIDE’S STATED GOAL IS TO ERADICATE YOU FROM SOCIETY YOU STUPID BINCH

I would actually like to seriously propose that in order to hold public office, you must have completed either: A) four years at a public high school or B) four years in a customer-facing service industry/labor job

I said it and I meant it. We need Churchills, not Chamberlains.

A reminder for MagicCon and beyond: 1. watch your drinks 2. don't hang out in hotel rooms 3. ask before physical contact if you're unsure 4. #3 goes for other peoples' cardboard too 5. wash your hands 6. acquaintance, colleague, trusted friend: know who is who 7. read #6 again Be safe & have fun.💜

absolutely savage

I think if people want to stop being called Nazis they should stop being Nazis. I think that's a good way to go.

I did it

I know I've got some peeps in the Twin Cities that can help her out with at least some leads or something, right?

I haven’t seen a lot of cis people I usually see pushing for calls, etc. doing so about these rules provisions, which would devastate trans people nationally. Calls need to be made to all electeds and a firm stance taken ASAP, with ten times the fervor of the Kimmel/D+ event

I'm not sure what's going on, but this year's freshman class is giving me ... what was that word ... hope? They're energized and excited, they're doing the reading and doing it well, they're asking great questions and offering smart answers too. Is this just me or are others seeing it?

also, posting it on twitter (with typos) before the investigation has really even started is a perfect touch. A+ law enforcement work.

Turns out that it's confusing to my grandma to laugh & say "so true, bestie" when she bemoans that, in the tupperware draw, "you have loads of bottoms, but it's a trial to find tops".

When you have an administration that so constantly, shamelessly, openly lies, pretty soon there’s no faith in any information streams coming from the administration, so there’s no way to convey true information in a way that lands right, which leads to more chaos.

This is the fishiest shit I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe the shooter wrote "Anti-ICE" in pen on a bullet and then shot detainees but not ICE officers?

So wanted to have custom sleeves ready for Atlanta... and they were delayed. But they are coming! Tomorrow afternoon. After I fly out in the morning. Damnit. 🤣

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

"If you stop doing what I want, the Antichrist will come" sounds suspiciously like something an antichrist would say.

man ive been seeing my Absolute Lesbian everywhere lmao, spread like wildfire

Voters in 2024: We can’t vote for the libs because they’re just not *normal* enough. The people who rule America in 2025: As you can see from the 1256 Papal bull “Florbum Blorbo,” it’s okay to keep your ground up wife in the freezer if the computer tells you to do it.

So, looking back twenty years ago at the start of "No Child Left Behind" and mandatory testing everywhere as those kids are now adults... Maybe I'm spitballing, but taking critical thinking skills out of public schools in favor of cookie cutter testing might not have been the best idea?

And also I was almost certainly outraged by [thing] but I am a responsible person and only speak on things when I feel confident I have enough information to be a useful part of the conversation! Just cause I didn’t post about it doesn’t mean I wasn’t outraged!

where’s all the black ppl

Bring back 20-24 episode seasons of TV.

I will be on @CNN at 9:15 am EST. Tune in.

I got a call "from" my bank to "check if my card was compromised", but I used to do sales and they asked for the last *six* of my card number. And since they were showing up as my very small bank, they had the first 8. So I told them I was just going to call them right back. 100% fraud.

Yup. Related, sometimes letting the voices who have knowledge and first-hand experience have the floor is more important than centering our own hot take, especially when we know there's much we don't know.

"And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed."

Yes and also we all aren't outrage jukeboxes, you can't just press a button and have us be outraged on request. We're all allowed to focus on what we want and where we feel our voices will be effective right now, and trust that others will fight the other fights worth fighting. It's a group effort.

Trump’s own team tripped the elevator emergency stop and fucked up the teleprompter, but Utah’s Trump toady extraordinaire throws a MAGA tantrum Btw, anyone remember MAGA saying anyone needing a teleprompter was dumb? Apparently only if that president was black

Iowa thirsts for Minnesota capturing the battle flag confirmed. Of course, they are naturally the Bottom if you look at the map.
