Another great article that you got to read! Be warned though, you'll be reminded of some very bad movies.
It is still worth it! 💜💜💜

As promised! In today’s article, I write about contemporary culture’s interest in “civilizing” monsters, how Magic engages in this work, and whether the game’s narrative and mechanics might hardwire essentialism into its worldbuilding—give a read!

If you didn't see this article from last week and you are getting into streaming, I think it does a pretty good job of summing up a lot of what has helped me be successful. Its more niche than I usually write about, but I hope you like it anyway.

This Skullclamp alter was a bit of a stylistic experiment. I think it was an interesting proof of concept. Might give it a second go with some lessons learned.

HOLY COW!
I got tons of cards I can alter! And I need money fast for a bill I forgot about (damn ADHD! *shakes fist in air*)!
Do you want a one-of-a-kind alter from me? Now’s the perfect time! For only 60$ you can pick from a pile & I’ll make a random alter for ya, or 80$ & you can pick the card!

This is a really well written and defended piece about the value of competitive magic in a casual world.
Feels appropriate this piece becomes free as I’m packing for Thanksgiving-then-Worlds. For 15 years I loved competitive MTG not because I thought I’d get here, but because of the person it helped me become.
It absolutely needs to survive.

Hey I wanna say thank you to anyone who donated yesterday! It was really heartening to see us smash our original goal.
Unfortunately, due to private complications, the funeral is going to be more expensive than we initially thought, so if you haven't donated yet, now is your chance <3
