As you may know, @watchtheguild is making a movie set at the RenFaire and PYP's @bardic_dw is "THE Renaissance Faire Guy!" So today, to support the final day of The Guild's record-breaking kickstarter, the Pub sing Bards will be on @feliciaday 's Twitch stream serenading the stars of the film!
On Saturday, a young man was shot directly in the eye with a pepperball while observing the protest at the LA MDC. He has lost vision in that eye PERMANENTLY. If you can share or donate to support, please do: www.gofundme.com/f/support-je... Note: I personally vouch for the veracity of this fund.
Still. Again. Join the National Strike on Friday. Now is the time to put action behind your ideals. #resist
The direct line from one injustice to another. We know why. I know why so many of my friends and relatives are just now upset. We know. I need my fellow white people to start really getting it. Facism & white supremacy walk hand in hand. We cannot dismantle one without dismantling the other.
Renee Nicole Good was a legal observer. My activism began with service as a legal observer with the ACLU during summer 2020 in Atlanta. I cannot express my feelings today. I am gratified as always to see LA turn out as they did tonight at Placita Olvera, but it's not enough. Not yet.
LA, 3 chances to get out and be heard. I will be at Placita Olvera tonight, but I've worked with the Valley Defensa folks in Van Nuys, so you'll be in good hands if you go there. I cannot be out tomorrow, but if you need a buddy, I will see if I know anyone going there. DM on IG. #losangeles
I hope you'll consider joining us tomorrow at PAXU for "Creating Seats at the Table" where we'll be discussing the need for producers and DMs/GMs to shoulder responsibility for creating welcoming and diverse tables & spaces in the D&D / TTRPG world. ✨️ #dungeonsanddragons #PAXU
"I am an appetite, nothing more." Such an epic shot for such a ridiculous cosplay. @patricksunphoto captured such incredible contrast on my Nosferatu Bunny at the Bunny Hutch party! 🖤 #nosferatu
Some of folks really need to analyze the amount of perfume/cologne they're wearing. If you're leaving a full stink trail that I can follow long after you've walked past, it's too much!
This Fearne is on fire 🔥 I think going forward I will paint both hands, but over all I'm incredibly happy with how my painting skills are improving. I really liked how the more jagged, volcanic red lines came out. Photos from DragonCon 2025 thanks to @leophotography9584 ! #criticalrole
Day & Night. I did something insane yesterday: I wore 2 cosplays with very different body paint colors with a 2 hr change window. Spent 4 hrs getting into Fearne, wore her for 4.5 hrs. Took 2 hrs to switch to my Destiny Guardian, wore for only 1.5 hrs. Exhausting, but genuinely fun! 🔥💠 #dragoncon
Tomorrow! I know for a lot of people just turning up and marching around can feel like a pointless exercise. I need you to look deeper. I need you to come hear the speakers, the music, the message. A march isn't the solution, it's the start. It's revving the engine, greasing the gears. #resist
If you know me, you know where I'll be tomorrow (if confused, keep reading), but after that I'm doing something insane. I'm going to DashCon 2 and I'm DELIGHTED! I'll be re-presenting one of my panels from the OG, infamous DashCon. Maybe I'll finally get my hour in the ballpit. #dashcontwo
What I want is a line of fabric goods for costume events and casual life…but doesn’t reduce existing indigenous cultures to “vibes” And I mean all indigenous cultures, the people native the US - but in fantasy genre that also means North African, Indian and Irish!
DO NOT SIT DOWN AT THESE PROTESTS! Your personal safety is top tier over appearing "more peaceful." Hands up & feet moving! Make a human chain if needed, but stay upright! Please do not share these "sit down" memes and infographs. They are going to get people hurt! #resist
This Saturday is the next national day of action for @50501movement. I will be out with @50501_socal - if you're in LA, please consider joining us. If you're not, look for one near you. The goal is to mobilize 3.5+% of the population with 50 protests in all 50 states as one movement. #resist

"As we go marching, marching in the beauty of the day..." Proud and glad to have marched with my Union fellows and community ALL DAY for May Day aka International Workers Day! Solidarity Forever! 💙✊️ #mayday
Join us tomorrow, May Day - International Workers Day! This isn't just for Union workers - it's for all workers suffering under the modern workforce failures to provide not just the meager basics, but true living wages, health care, and protections! Give us bread, but give us roses!

Some beautiful views in Los Angeles today! Tens of thousands of people gathered as SoCal united with other marches around the country: 50 states, more than 50 protests, 1 day. And one message: when they come for one of us, they come for all of us - so we say "hands off!" ✊️ #50501socal
Want to help? Here's when & where to show up for tomorrow's protests in Los Angeles!
I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible. I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible. I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.
"This is what all bars should be like." Our vision for Pub Sing was to create a space that feels like the way fantasy taverns are always portrayed - lively crowds and raucous bards - and we're glad to hear that's exactly the atmosphere our audience is experiencing. So come be a part of it! 🎶✨️
The Original (DragonCon 2024) vs the Update (WonderCon 2025). This cosplay will continue to be a WIP, but I'm so pleased with my progress! Also, shout out to @brookesmart.bsky.social who said at a TTRPG panel this weekend that pros in a space should have no shame also being fans. 🖤🔥 #cosplay
"Even if a glass ceiling gets broke, that doesn't mean there aren't more floors." - @itsdanicarr.bsky.social Followed by: "the table is imaginary, there are enough seats for everyone." - @sammaggs.bsky.social An incredible discussion on representation in media at WonderCon today! #wondercon
This is where we're at folks. Do you want to stand by while our democracy crumbles or do you want to help stop it?
