Husband, father, geek. I play games and read a lot. You should too. My brain hates me and I’m not its biggest fan either. He/Him.

“There wolf. There tree”
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

One of the co-creators of one of the most important and popular comics characters of the last 15 years and this is the thanks she gets.
I enjoy much of what Marvel puts out but this sort of practice is deplorable.

Last months #Tabletopgames played. November was a bit of a slower month as we had lots of things going on in real life. Hopefully we’ll get some more done over the Christmas break. Really proud of The Boy beating us at Steam Up. All games played with @clairedrinkstea.bsky.social

Just finished #CoffinMoon by @keithrosson.bsky.social and just, wow. It’s my first book by Rosson and it certainly won’t be the last. Easily in my top 3 horror books of the year. Was bought the sexy signed edition by @clairedrinkstea.bsky.social so the book dragon in me is very happy.

On May 11, 1950, while working on the Rawlins National Bank in Wyoming, a construction crew unearthed a whiskey barrel that contained a human skeleton with its skull cap sawed off & an odd pair of shoes. Dr. Lillian Heath, now in her 80s, was asked if she knew anything about it...🧵

SEPTEMBER TABLE TOP GAMES
Slower month than last playing table top games with @colplaysgames.bsky.social but we haven’t had annual leave to give us time to play and I’ve had a horrible and persistent attack of the ick so energy and ability to play hasn’t been there.

It's honestly bizarre. We read picture books to our kids, then at an arbitrary point expect them to stop being interested in the pictures

‘I’m not far right but I went to a rally organised by Tommy Robinson’ is a pretty unconvincing position.

Two truths may dwell together. One may weep for loss while still naming evil as evil.
Compassion for those left behind is just, but sanctifying the cruel as heroes is folly. History is not rewritten at the grave.
We must speak both truths. The humanity of death and the inhumanity of deeds.

To *finally* have a mainstream political voice standing up for racialised & minoritised communities being intimidated by the violent fash on our streets
It's really not that hard, is it?
