Gonna be quiet here for the next couple days because I've got an event coming up that I'm stressed about and it's gonna take all my energy to get through it. I mean... not that anyone was keeping track. Just hate when my anxiety makes things more difficult than it needs to be.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

I've never needed a game system that explicitly supports non-combat solutions or roleplay-heavy campaigns. DnD is not my favorite system, but it's a great entry point for folks curious about #ttrpgs. Beyond that--GMs, we have the power to decide how to run the game and when dice rolls are necessary.

During yesterday's DnD game, the PCs 1) saved a robot girl infused with nanomachines from overheating after a malicious failsafe was activated while removing a tracking device from her, with help from dockworkers who provided a cart full of ice that was used to preserve a shipload of fish

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare. Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.” We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

If you are a government worker DO NOT TAKE THE RESIGNATION OFFER! Congress has NOT appropriated the money to do that, and that asshole is a GDMF LIAR! Keep your job, make them fire you, and then fight like hell.

Eww, I only slept maybe 3 hours last night. lnsomnia really sucks. I have untreated sleep apnea and have to go thru another sleep study with my new (admittedly better) insurance so I can acquire a cpap. At this point, I've become anemic, so getting the care I need has become a priority.

Trying to find as many peeps I know as possible on bsky. I love that a number of my friends have a nick that they still use that I still remember. That's made it easy to stalk... ermm, follow them. :D One of my main issues with changing my first name is that I've used the same nick since I was 19!

This weekend I will be running my D&D game in which the PCs are planning to straight up Luigi a corrupt politician. The consensus was originally unsure, but then... well... Personally, I love that we can use our hobby for catharsis. :) It's healthier than the alternatives. #dndsky #ttrpgsky

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Hospital protests have begun for hospitals that are complying with an executive order banning gender affirming care. The order does NOT have the force of law, but some hospital systems are too scared of trump to defend trans kids in their care. This one at UVA Hospital.

"On Friday, however, many pages that did not seem related to 'gender' or 'diversity' had also been taken down, such as AtlasPlus, an interactive tool from CDC with surveillance data on HIV, viral hepatitis, STDs and TB. Also gone missing: a page with basic information about HIV testing."

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Sometimes I just sit in the car, not driving anywhere, not doing anything, just stuck. Like I've run out of gas, except it's mental gas and not gas for the car. Sometimes it IS being low on "me fuel" (aka food) but this time I'm actually fed, so it's an executive dysfunction thing. #adhdsky #ndsky

Ooh it's pouring rain now. I had a chat with a friend who is a professor at my alma mater, who said administrators there are still doing their best to support all students and faculty while making surface changes in light of the orders coming down from POTUS. It's not ideal, but it's not nothing.

Trying to pull myself away from the political train wreck to eat a food, since I've yet to eat all day. I have a place I usually go after therapy and my tummy is raring to go! ...It started raining just now. The heavens weep.

Ok now this is just petty. I told my spouse just now, this is when allies need to step up. Don't let politicians decide for us who exists or not.

I would so be fired if I was a federal employee. Oof.

Today I yelled (safely in my car where no one could hear me, lol) at the construction on the road to my therapist appt at 1-freakin'-pm. So I was late to my appt again. Fortunately, my therapist is super forgiving about my time blindness, given that ADHD is a big part of why I'm seeing her.

It'd be a shame if the terms "swasticars" and "Muskolini" caught on. #swasticars #Muskolini

But I should be going to bed instead of thinking of what to put on my introsky post at 3:35am. So I bid you goodnight!

I actually do kinda feel like I'm in something new online. That's hard to come by, even if it's just because bsky is still small. My first exposure to the internet was in the early 90s. I've seen a lot change and a lot stay the same. I'm sure my time under the blue sky will be no different.

I'm a GenX-Millenial cusp and bsky noob, so I'm still learning. I now know: # [foo]sky is a hashtag for "bsky community about [foo]". Using this in queer contexts seems to help me find queer but not lewd content. Moots are mutual followers and oomf means "one of my followers". #themoreyouknow

If you have not been watching #Severance on Apple TV, you should be. S203 was highly entertaining, had lots of intrigue and GOATS, and ended in another "omg can it be next week already" cliffhanger.

I'm beginning a social media purge. I'll be here, on Mastodon (at darksiren at queer dot party), and on Discord (at darksirensally). I may use something like Pixelfed to post art. I'm either deleting or going private (as much as I can be, anyway) on the rest.

Well, huh, guess I'm here. Wild.
