Atlanta-based TTRPG writer, editor, and developer. Educator. Professional furry wrangler. Collects apocalypses. Here & queer. Reluctant runner. Eternally battling the vines. Oh no, I play Magic now. She/her
We won 3 out of 3 games! I am not so bold as to think my percentage of contribution to that win was about 25%, as Mr Rav has been playing magic for decades and I've been playing since September, but everyone at Peach State Games was SO lovely, staff and players alike. Support your local game store!
Playing in my first #magicthegathering tournament. At least it’s a two-headed giant and Mr. Rav can catch my mistakes!

Accidental Lorwyn Turtles.

Going in the wrong pack: turtle power!

(It scans, trust me; I have a degree in this)

Lorwyn seems pretty typey so I don’t even think there’s a benefit to playing a ninja turtle. Maybe I will be so lucky as to be presented with this ethical dilemma tomorrow at my first tournament! Probably not.

Oh to have my biggest problem being unsure if I can play a ninja turtle in my Lorwyn Eclipsed draft! Simple problems! Joyful problems!

I’m just so tired. Printing high decibel whistles for my son’s whole GSA because ICE is doing sweeps around the metro ATL area. I figured 30 baby queers with ultra loud whistles are better than one. They have such a diverse student body at his school, and I want them all safe.

Cis people, if trans people say someone is a transphobe believe us. We're actually paying attention to that because it's a matter of survival, so yes we know better than you do, for whom it's way down on the list of priorities

I don’t want ICE “reformed” or “restructured” or even just defunded. I want it dismantled. I want it stripped doen to component parts. I want ICE uniforms burned in the streets. I want these Nazi pigs tried and convicted in a system they think they’re above. Fuck ICE and ACAB always forever.

I would like to play a trrpg set in the world of The Last of Us. Who’s gonna give me some fungus zombies?

we have a fascist party and we have a party of fascist enablers
153 Democrats just joined 188 Republicans to pass HR 7006, which
•Sends $3.3B to Israel (including offensive weapons)
•Bans any attempt at Palestinian liberation
•Sends $50M to Venezuela

Only 57 Democrats voted no.

Americans still don't have healthcare.

ICE officers tell media that the conduct in Minneapolis is part of a plan by Stephen Miller to provoke as much violence and death as possible—which in turn will be taken as pretext for more. “They’re essentially operating now in a resource constraint-free environment and doing very dangerous things”
Former members of ICE say recent violence is "by design"
"What has changed is there has been an encouragement from the top to be much more aggressive in enforcement."

The one thing they don’t tell you about having children is if you treat them with respect and compassion, they will grow up to be people who text you on the way home from school to ask if you want a diet coke from the QuikTrip*.

*I always want a diet coke from the QuikTrip, but sweet that he asks!

"i’m not fucking doing this again." i'd vote for that
I feel like people are already being primed to accept “reform ICE” as a platform when anything less than abolishment should be unacceptable to literally everyone.

Yeah we should primary all Democrats who want to “reform ICE.” That’s what primaries are for.

I’m not fucking doing this again.

(How you are supposed to "reform & retrain" ICE—an agency oversupplied with underqualified bullies who've been pursuing a vicious campaign of racist violence while demonstrating loyalty to Trump and not to the Constitution or the law—I don't really know.)

On February 1st I’ll have been running the same weekly Masks game for 4 years. Accounting for holidays and cons, that’s 45+ sessions yearly. I’ve watched my players go from 12/13 to two of them turning 18 and graduating later this year. @magpiegames.bsky.social really did make the game of all time!

During the first Trump administration, when I had no out queer/trans kids, I went to a fuckton of rallies and protests and marches, often alone or with one other adult. I found a group of younger queer or POC protestors and attached myself to them with their permission. Why? I look like me. 1/?

In the field experiment, real employers called back childless women at more than twice the rate of mothers.

Fathers, by contrast, faced no penalty and sometimes received a bonus.

If most Liberals called stopped calling for more training and started demanding defunding that would be some progress.

My middle kid (19) is running a D&D campaign for his partner, and his partner's sibling and friends. All the players believe they are playing a Strixhaven-esque magic school game. They are actually playing Call of Cthulhu where the central figure is the King in Yellow. Cannot wait for this reveal.

Yes, my son and I watched the gay hockey show together, because this fandom is about bisexual woman and gay dude solidarity! Also, it’s a whole lot less *gestures* than whatever Will and Hannibal had going on and we watched that together, too.
