Why do I keep putting things that I myself am scared of in my campaigns? Why am I not scared of it when I'm in control? Player side? NOPE. Controlling it? sure! (it's numbers stations)

I'm trying to do more of the things I love this year, so if anyone ever needs an archivist to help with file management and metadata standards for your actual play, I'm your person. #ttrpg #actualplay #archives

I'm finally in a place with my health that I can start volunteering and take classes in improv like I've wanted to for years. It feels really good to be able to do things I want to do and not just need to do again.

I cannot properly express how huge it is that @dropout.tv has acquired Don Hertzfeldt's films. We need more companies supporting indie animators and studios. I cannot wait til Sept 1st!

@youngles.bsky.social i need you to know these two were meowing at each other.

*the voice of old rose* ...it's been 84 (19) years... 🦞 (Wth there's no seagull emoji?!)

I got some really good news this weekend, some dreams are making progress!

I saw a troll today.

I love days when I get to go full dork mode at work and sift through metadata tags while I'm writing finding aids.

Oh no! Humanity makes me uncomfortable! People should only post happy things bc I only want to see happy things. Stop posting about negative experiences you have, or your struggles with mental health bc I want a parasocial relationship with you that’s only happy and cheerful. /s

When The Vampire Lestat mentioned Lestat playing in Worcester, I know it'd be the Palladium that the band played at. Known now as a core Massachusetts metal venue, it opened first as Plymouth Theater. Missing the Palladium rn 💜 #thevampirelestat #lestat #palladium #worcestor #Massachusetts

Decolonizing archives the day before the 4th by making sure our port itinerary list from all sea terms uses the names of territories and autonomous regions and isn't lumping them in with the country they've been colonized by.

NYC is opening city grocery stores in every borough — and we need the right spaces to make it happen. If you own or know of a site in Brooklyn, Queens, or Staten Island, submit to the NYC Groceries Sites Portal by June 30: grocery.nyc/portal

Just encountered a Philosoraptor meme in a conference presentation from 2016 that I'm remediating for accessibility right now and just about died from shock seeing it in here.

Getting news that has me feeling like this on the second day of Pride RULES.

I'm having my own little NASA Mission Control moment this morning because our students are out at sea and we just got a bunch of photos sent to us from the ship this morning! #seajoy

Y'all i just had the best GM session of my life and I'm so excited for the next one in two weeks. I feel like I'm finally hitting my stride with this thing and am so excited for what's to come in this campaign. Keeping the energy going by making the props for next session right now!

God I love my players. Tonight we'll be starting a mystery set at a ball and they are aflutter in our discord. Pride and Prejudice gifs, talking like they are worried about dance steps. Truly the best kind of group a GM could ask for.

OOP haven't been here in a bit. If anyone wants to see me talk about the importance of archival outreach, this is a free virtual conference on June 5th. nyarchivists.org

This is how I prep for sessions btw #regency #cthulhu #ttrpgs #gm

Let me tell you something A soup A salad A sandwich I’m always gonna want all three

Omg i just had the best surprise at work. I'm starting an ongoing project to expand minority representation in our student life areas of the archives and the master of the training ship said he's going to buy is ten extra disposable cameras out of the ship budget from the four we are buying 😭

I entered my mid 30s finally yesterday! My NASA order came in, so i took a cute pic of my Artemis II patch against my space wall

Commencement is always bittersweet. I am so proud of my students graduating and will also miss them so much. Luckily our alumni tend to LOVE homecoming. So I'll see them in the fall.

How do I stop conferences from signing me up for vendor email lists? I get so annoyed with this every time I attend one.

I saw a recent Tumblr poll that asked who would win in a fight: Lestat or Miss Piggy, and I have never seen such a Coughing Baby vs Hydrogen Bomb matchup in my life. One of them is leaving that brawl bruised, bloody, and crying, and it ain’t the Muppet.
