HEY ALL, I just finished chapter 18 of Ironheart-Rune, my action-comedy-fantasy comic about a cursed girl who wants to be a knight and her new best friend a dragon who is also a maiden. It's 48 pages and $3 until the next one is done. I hope you enjoy 💖 ironheart-rune.itch.io/ihr18
Damn, really got his whole Od-ussy out for this one.
Death Cab for Cutie doing airport announcements is surreal.
I sorta figured by now some amulet in a curio shop would start lighting up to transport me to a magical world where some old person would declare me the chosen one. Now? My knees hurt thinking about being chosen for nearly anything
The "you didn't scan the item" security footage played back at the grocery store, giving me a rather rude look at the back of my head from the top down. Gonna be stressing about that, I guess

Egypt and Iran have requested that Pride events in Seattle during their World Cup match be canceled and… no. Welcome to Seattle. This might be the most patriotic I’ve felt in my life. Pride isn’t happening during your game; you’re here during Pride. Suck a rainbow. apnews.com/article/worl...
Iran and Egypt will meet, uncomfortably, in Seattle's World Cup 'Pride Match'
Egypt and Iran are two of the most repressive countries for gays and lesbians. But by sheer coincidence they will square off in a World Cup “Pride Match” in Seattle coinciding with the city’s annual c...

Neighbor had a yard sign up that read "Home of a future champion, class of 2030!" And I snorted, "Yeah, okay, whatever you want, champion of the moon... Mx. future kid." And then, my gob smacked, I realized this futuristic unrealistic year is 4 years away.

Calling all bad bitches who like Sailor Mars and TTRPGS. We need YOU 💅🔥👠 (We are looking for enthusiastic players, not exact voice matches!)
Yamino@yamino.bsky.social · 5mo agoIt shocks me that not a SINGLE person exclusively asked to audition for Sailor Mars, where are all my mean gays at?? Come on, I know some bad bitch out there is perfect for her 💅
I didn't have a great day, but I got into bed and the cat purred on me for a good twenty minutes. Then, before leaving, she said, "Good night, Westley. Good work. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning."
How many times can a workmate's alarm go off and they hit snooze before before you play full-volume klaxons?

Try not to think about how too damn early it actually is at home. #PAXEast
In Definitely-Not-A-Sign-of-Neurodivergence, I'm mad at the espresso machine in the hotel lobby because its screen says "Touch to Begin" and then it has you select your beverage. But it doesn't tell you the actual first step is to put down a cup.
How it started, & how it’s going: Almost a decade after I ran TTRPGs in my downtime during a week at @folger.edu I’m headed back to DC for the 26-27 school year as the Folger Public Humanities Fellow, creating ways for Playful Media of all kinds to flourish. It is, literally, my dream come true.

Dr. Emily Friedman@ecfriedman.com · 2y agoIf you told this woman running D&D for a bunch of scholars during an intensive 2-week seminar at @folgerlibrary.bsky.social that D&D would be discussed & played AT the Folger six years later (almost exactly!) — & that she would be studying TTRPGs in performance — I don’t think I’d have believed you.
To people who have been on the Internet for awhile - Do you have this thing where you have known a person for years, you definitely know them and their name, but because you have only seen their online handles for the past several years you just blank on their actual name?
Let's bring back normalizing "That's cool, it's not for me, but glad you had a good time with it."
Alexa Ray Corriea@alexaray.bsky.social · 7mo agoIn my recent GDC talk with @adamdolin.bsky.social we talk about how your love of something can exist alongside somebody else’s dislike of it, but being actively disdainful towards a group of folks who do like something really is ghoul behavior and not in the fun sexy Fallout way.
Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.
Stellbound: Stellraiser II@antlervel.vet · 8mo agoOn Monday I sent a plea to the client who owes me $24k for months and months of work, owed to me since September, saying that if they do not pay me by the end of the month I will lose my apartment and that they should show some humanity and pay the invoice They of course have not paid the invoice

I tell yeah, 2016 sure has been the longest and worst year.
By episode 5 they're in 2016, so surely soon someone is going to tell Ilya he's just like Yuri Plisetsky
