They have a point there

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

Just in case someone I know in LA County can help…

In a time when we're surrounded by a huge diversity of TTRPGs and we have the ability to encourage people to explore what game design can look like in their creation and analysis, I'm *extremely* uninterested in defining what a """real""" game designer is or gatekeeping the idea of game design

What an interesting partnership!

It’s bad form to promote your game by trashing others. And people will remember. Better hope you never need a hand up. #gamedev

White House: "Violent mobs have attacked ICE officers and Federal Law Enforcement Officers." LAPD: "Today, demonstrations across the City of Los Angeles remained peaceful."

What's alt text? Why is it important on Bluesky? How do I write it? Where am I? What's going on?

Tell me again how women are too emotional for politics.

I love this so much. Crayons!

My son baked a cake and I am happy. That’s all. It’s enough.

I don't know if there is a more appropriate goodbye to Loretta Swit, than her last scene in MASH in the series finale. Loretta won two Emmy's for her role as Major Houlihan.
