Just a nerd going through this world. Magic the Gathering, D&D, and other nerdy hobbies.

The fan flair booth is in the same room as badge pickup. And my ribbons are present.
They tell me I’m uncultured, but I’ll always recognise a bit of Beethoven.

Listen folks. You have to stop clicking random links DM'd to you on Discord. Legitimately.
Terrible news for the #MTG community. Legendary artist Ron Spears has passed away. We've lost one of the great artists of our time and of our game that we all love. He will be missed. #MagicTheGathering
An automated A.I. WWE news channel tries to pronounce "WWE" as a word and ends up going insane! 🤣
This is important stuff, even if it's hard to talk about.
Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.
Decided to treat myself today with some packs and opened this 😃
I keep saying that Florida is one of two things. Either Outworld from Mortal Kombat or a real life GTA server...
Even after all these years Graham slamming himself in the nuts with nunchucks is still out there doing work. Shoutout to the @colbertlateshow.bsky.social for keeping our silly little video alive and well. youtu.be/dBKLMyyyiOk

53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War. I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.
Decided to treat myself to some cards for Commander and Canadian Highlander. I hope @ekplayscards.bsky.social likes the old tech and Beta swamp.
Ok, I desperately need someone to get him to sign or sketch raph for me. It would be a lifelong dream get and I will happily pay
The legendary Kevin Eastman will be stopping by our booth at PAX East! What #MTGxTMNT card would you like him to sign?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue
