I’ve worked up a plan to get a lot of MTG collections well organised in a satisfying way at minimal real cost, and right now I’m sharing this plan with you. Not sponsored, but open to helping folks with any/all of this.

me: And these are my favorite podcasts. alien: What's a podcast? me: Uh, like sunlamps, but for lack of socialization.

Ok, you’re holding the Senate Floor and have run through your speech. What’s a topic you could speak about for hours without notes? Me: How to run a *good* Magic: the Gathering tournament.

Fellow #chesspunks and #chess obsessives: what is the shortest time control from which you can benefit from analysis?

If the choice is between helping people and following a procedure, help the people.

Do you use Signal? (signal.org) If not, why not?

I have smoked the weed that was in the shoe box and which you were probably saving for an emergency Forgive me it was delicious. so high and so stoned

The deftness of the critique here is sublime.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

Art Angels is a great album and I Have That On Vinyl is a great site. The idea that Grimes is the latest Courtney Love isn't one I've heard before, and I think it mostly holds. Check it out.

If you wake up and feel too depressed to function, I strongly recommend that you eat breakfast (in this case "breakfast" means "something I can consume and prepare with minimal effort"). It may not fix your depression, but it will prevent you from being depressed and hangry.

Shortly after my divorce, a friend advised that I buy a French press as an inexpensive quality-of-life upgrade. I don't use it as often as I once did, but it's definitely worthwhile if you enjoy a morning cup and don't feel like supporting your local union-busting Starbucks.

I’m probably not the only one struggling to use social media this year. As a result, I am not doing the self promotion a DIY artist needs to do so here’s a half-hearted attempt. I have concerts. May 13 Santa Fe May 14 Basalt May 15 Boulder May 16 San Francisco zoekeating.com/perform.html

Cleared Chapter 4 of CELESTE last night. I notice a spike in difficulty and more screens where I think “there’s just no way.” I will climb the mountain.

I’d forgotten how much I liked Sleep Token’s album “Take Me Back To Eden”. It’s just as good as I remember.

Hey, @dawbooks.bsky.social is hosting a Goodreads giveaway for Wearing The Lion! Have you hugged your myths lately?

This is how it's done.

I finished Chapter 3 of CELESTE late last night. I have 3.4 hours of play time. 653 deaths. I'm gonna climb this mountain.

My cowriters and I are posting our book After the Storm for free on Royal Road, one chapter each Sunday! If you're looking for spicy #GaySciFi with diverse and likeable characters and excellent worldbuilding, or for some hope even in a post-apoc future, check it out! #m/mReads #FreeFiction

I just finished Chapter 2 of CELESTE? What even is this game? I'm hooked.

I just completed Chapter 1 of the video game CELESTE. This game is incredibly challenging. I can’t believe I did it.

Just watched NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007). Loved it. A chilling, menacing film with a glacier's patience. Not a single wasted frame.
