This quote from The Future of Another Timeline by @annaleen.bsky.social is still living rent free in my head weeks later—it’s indescribable if you haven’t experienced it (and I hope you haven’t yet but we all eventually will). I loved this book for this and many more reasons. 💙📚🪐

Just a reminder that Congress could put a stop to Trump's tariffs and trade-war any time. Feel free to call and write your representatives to remind them of that, constantly, and to let them know you hold them responsible for inaction as much as you do Trump for his actions.

Yellowhammer Fund won its lawsuit against Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall. The court made it clear: Alabama’s laws do not extend beyond state lines to penalize people for getting or assisting with legal healthcare elsewhere.

This is one of the better articles I've read for pointing people to productive avenues. If you are like me and are prone to doomspiraling, having resources like this are invaluable to stay grounded, stay useful, and keep pushing back.

It's the weekend, baby

Hey friends! There won’t be a new episode of Panda’s today because we had some ~life stuff~ that we failed to account for correctly and did not record. No one is hurt and we’ll catch you all next week on our regular schedule!

Read @amalelmohtar.com’s The River Has Roots yesterday and loved it. - beautiful words build a beautiful world and a unique and fascinating take on magic and fae - feels like a timeless fairy tale - harps ♥️ (harps in books = why I am a very amateur harpist myself) Will def. read again. 💙📚🪐

Just finished @tkingfisher.com’s Thornhedge for the second time—a refresh read for book club tomorrow. I remembered I really enjoyed it but I’d forgotten exactly how beautiful it is. It’s short; if you haven’t read it, you probably should! 💙📚🪐

Still thinking about that big ol’ larp I did last month. Ask me anything (about it) 😆

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

If you donate your game, @rufflejax.bsky.social and I are going to make a point to also shout out your other games that aren't in the bundle while marketing the bundle. So if selflessness and making a better world doesn't win you over, consider this free marketing.

Hey we funded, which is an achievement in itself in these uncertain times. Thanks, friends! I really want to interview Zhenya so if you have questions for a really mean Slavic witch please share them.

Proud to be the 417th backer 😎 on @BackerKit Crowdfunding for Zhenya's Wonder Tales! www.backerkit.com/c/projects/b...

I can’t decide if that is evil or genius. #currentlyreading #kindlequotes #GideontheNinth 💙📚🪐

Finished Swordheart, by T. Kingfisher. I’m accustomed to her books being quite a bit darker with more horror elements, but her brilliant writing, world building, and character work shine through no matter what the tone is —this book proves it. A delightful, romantic, and frequently funny fantasy.

She has such a way with words. 😂 #currentlyreading #kindlequotes #GideontheNinth 📚💙📚🪐

“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.” Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler #booksky 📚🪐

Things I have learned: - it’s the things in a larp that you didn’t plan or anticipate that are most likely to come back for you to process later - make even worse decisions next time - have a low pressure drop project planned as the off ramp to intense costuming work

Wide awake at 3 something in the morning agonizing about my larp character’s big decision for tomorrow and replaying a bunch of amazing scenes in my head. Shut up brain! I’m trying to sleep!

Want to make use of the Barnes & Noble Preorder Sale and support trans/genderqueer authors? Here's a thread with just a few SFFH titles off the top of my head! #booksky 🌈📚 🌈🚀💫 #queeradultsff 📚🌎

@dnaphil.bsky.social and @senda.bsky.social have an interesting topic here, talking about playing IN established IP, what characters from those IPs show up, and if you play characters from the IP or not.

This is absolutely stupid.

I GM a bunch of people through the game “make a piece of software.” The rules are made up but if you do it wrong enough you lose.
