Ran a Long Road Ahead demo tonight that went in some very unexpected directions that challenged me as a relatively experienced GM. I am very grateful for patient newbies and my more experienced players (both having played TLRA before and having more GMing experience overall) who kindly back me up.

This! If you can switch from Whole Foods to a different grocery store and buy your books from bookshop.org instead of Amazon, that’s still a big step even if you feel tied to Amazon for other items. If everyone divested 30% that’s more than if a few people divest 100%.

My goal for 2025 is the books I write or a book I write on to make at least $1000 so I can finally apply to @sfwa.bsky.social I'm only $391 away just based on itch sales alone. Can we make that happen?

A gorgeous woman complimented me when I went to the mailroom to get my grow shelves. Made that 40lb box much lighter on the way back, I'll say. Also just spending my afternoon getting my trays and lights set up did embarrassing amounts of good for my brain chemistry.

Every time I hear about another massive video game layoff I feel awful for everyone who lost their job on the whim of the c-suite and also oddly relieved that the generation curse (bipolar) got me and I washed out of that line of work like, immediately.

I know on some level that I'm not actually more alone than I was years ago because the seven years I spent in NYC I didn't actually have friends. I was merely the useful pet idiot of several highly regarded personalities of the demimonde. I lived in an absinthe dream and none of it was real.

We did not get buried by the snow as the weather "reports" insisted but the temp did drop like a stone and now the cat is doing his best to jam himself in under my ribcage for warmth.

Swedish Rhapsody… this Sunday afternoon / evening has been mainly spent creating another shonky creepy little Procreate sort of animation, this one about number stations. Accidentally chopped the sliders off the radio. Gah.

Watched Mr. BraceOfPeacocks effortlessly lift the emergency battery unit and carry it up the stairs and into the apartment. I went to lift it over to the outlet to charge it and quickly learned that I gotta start lifting every day or something and fix those noodle arms 😭

Let there be a story Let there be a song Let there be a poem They need not be long Let there be some baking A giving of the grain Let there be a lighting Of one small candle-flame Seize the chance to celebrate Whenever life allows Tomorrow is not promised & The time for joy is now. #Imbolc #poetry
