I'm Sage: a ttrpg creator, MtG fanatic, and a graduate student at UNLV. I study educational psychology and focus on quantitative research methods and data analysis.

I love good tv and movies, and I live for a well-done period drama.

Omg, there's no feeling like coming back home to the comfort of your stuff

Just landed back in Vegas. So happy to be home.

I had a really great weekend of connecting with some of the leaders in educational psychology, and I even got to enjoy a vacation day

Enjoyed a very lovely nature walk this morning before setting off to the airport. It's been fun Norman, Oklahoma!

An empty park bench looks onto the pond through sheltering trees

What I've learned from this weekend is that I need to buy more suits

(And that I'm actually knowledgable and doing important work, and I should trust that more often)

Not getting sick is the absolute best. Conventions and conferences, i'm masked up (minus calculated risks, like eating). People are traveling in from all over the world, and you don't know what you brought with you or what you might be taking back.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure

Masking at conventions makes so much sense I don't know why we don't all do it. The chances of getting get sick at a con are so high we have a cute little name for it: "con crud." That its easy to get COVID at cons should come as no surprise. Why would you not want to protect yourself and others?

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.
