Jody Houser ✒️🗯️🎲@jodyhouser.bsky.social · 2d ago"By asking them to read, professors are arbitrarily withholding information from students by forcing them to get it through this more difficult medium."

Contemplating potential reasoning for negative perceptions/sentiment around influencers in MTG. What I'll say is this: In influencer marketing, relationships (and relatability) are currency. In pre-UB times, audiences would get hype because someone they relate to is also excited about [X Product].

The Spectral Guide - watercolour and acryla gouache on Arches This piece was created for Commander Sealed, and the original painting is now looking for a home!
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
When I’m at the level 110 dungeon called The Falling Skies and my chocobo is tanking the final boss that is a horror beyond its comprehension
