@justtheclippy.bsky.social Fair warning - I don't know if the con is trying to lessen the concentrated "gremlin energy" or they just didn't learn from your last panel. But they've seated you and Marissa apart again.

@alexrochonva.bsky.social Just saying man...there's a Dragon*Con panel called "T33TH: The Teeth Keep Coming – and They Don't Stop Coming!" over in the Hilton at 8:30pm. Because who doesn't love teeth? 😁

TEXAS! 1 million voters have been purged or suspended! Make sure you are still registered to vote if you are an eligible Texan voter! #ProudBlue #DV1 #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/214832/...

Texas Has Suspended More Than 1 Million Voters Ahead of Senate Race

If you’re one of the people who had their voter registration suspended, there’s still time to fix it.

Teacher in need One of my friends is an art teacher who is teaching sculpture in an underfunded school. When I say this guy is a sweet potato, I am not overstating. He smiles warm, checks on his friends, and is a supportive good person. Help if you can, please. www.donorschoose.org/project/tool...

Tools for Sculpting!, a project from Mr. Del Riego

Help me give my students the materials we need to create amazing sculptures in our new course. Public schools are the even playing field for all kids. Students are given the materials and tools the...

I'm going to need at least three cups of ambition today. Minimum.

"If you do the right thing in the here and now, the future has a way of taking care of itself." Dolly Parton stepped onto the sci-fi screen briefly but powerfully in S3E8 of The Orville: New Horizons. Her humor, goodwill, and music shined bright in utopian sci-fi.

I found out around 2pm that Saint Dolly had passed. I had a work meeting at 2:30pm and tried to clean myself up. I failed, as my teammate and I logged onto the call, and I still didn't have my 'office' mask back on... "What's wrong?!" "...Dolly Parton died." The meeting was cancelled. Immediately.

Soft Rains Day. "Today is August 4, 2026, in the city of Allendale, California. Today is Mr. Featherstone's birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita's marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills." RIP Ray Bradbury, 1920-2012

Additional GenCon quote from when someone pulled the Union Station fire alarm: "I won't blame any of you, but my bones hurt like hell from the storms and I am not going down multiple flights of stairs if it's a damn drill. If it's not? Then tell them that I died like I lived...at a gaming table."

I have one of the best lines from my running games at GenCon, and I kind of want to put it on business cards and let it define my entire game style, but also know that I probably shouldn't. "Running tragedy and horror RPGs with the joyful enthusiasm and energy of a kindergarten teacher."

[GenCon '26] I still have two tickets left for my game tonight. Friends at GenCon! Who wants to experience me running a game in the very "Belle Epoch meets End of the World" of the d6 system Our Brilliant Ruin? I promise, the Golden Ridge Rail will be a trip you won't forget. 😉

If you would love to get a booking with or already had one with KP @kp11studios.bsky.social , this might be important. Their original booking site got hacked and the bookings made so far got wiped. If you had booked a slot, or were thinking of booking, time to redo it! headshottools.com/Booki…

Years ago, NASA put out a Progress Pride flag of space images created by Rachel Lense. She is no longer at NASA, NASA is no longer celebrating diversity, and that old image just made me sad. So I made a new one. patreon.cosmoquest.org/posts/pride-...

Happy Pride to Cassandra Peterson.

Happy to still be here for another Pride Month. Thank you to the Discworld QOTD for showing Detritus demonstrating how to be an ally.

PSA: Bluesky's new auto-tagging moderation stuff is a disaster. Disable it. Go into Settings on the Bluesky site and enable adult content and set everything to Warn at most, which makes posts opt-in. Hide just vanishes posts. Then go into Advanced/Bluesky Mod Service and do the same on everything.

The girl was recently goose-eyed, and she will become not like the girls before her.

The fate of the girl turns on the contract between the Count and the stranger who arrives when the land is shrouded in mist.

It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.

Alrighty yall! My #gencon 2026 attendees! Thanks to the IMMENSE kindness and undeserved generosity of my friends, looks like your boy will be going to Gen Con 2026!! That being said, who wants a photoshoot?

Hey so if you're in the USA, the FCC is floating the idea of making shows put a warning up if they include or discuss trans people and trans lives. A short paragraph saying this is messed up would help a lot! You gpt less than a week. Submit your comment by May 22: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...
