I write articles, reviews, and the occasional D&D adventure. One of the things I wrote even won an award. Also plenty of miniature painting, dice making, and cosplay.
@kaiser-permanente.bsky.social I have been waiting on hold to speak with someone about a sudden bill for over an hour. What the fuck?

This isn't just a casual observation. Fascism scholars have long made this point. It's why calling them "weird" was a more effective strategy than talking about the prices of eggs. Fascism is an aesthetic political movement - you need to make people feel embarassed and horrified by it.
one of the most effective weapons we have against fascism is mockery, especially when its really funny
It occurs to me all the yelling at ICE in MPLS isn't merely funny. Getting made fun of like this is awful for morale. ICE is losing field officers faster than it can wave them through training, and a big part of it is how little of this these little weasels can take.

I haven't gone to a Target since the boycott started, and I ain't gonna go back any time soon.
From a good friend in Minneapolis: "Target is allowing ICE to stage in their parking lots, use their restrooms, and abduct people from inside their stores - so if you weren’t boycotting already, now is the time." They were staging in Chicago as well.

I wish I had something clever and eloquent to say about the state of the world right now, but the only phrases that really capture it are "holy fucking shit, this is bad," "fuck fuck fuck shit fuck," and "oh fuck it just got worse, there's just too much."
And we're barely two weeks into 2026.

I kind of want to make a list of all the fun/practical spells from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End that have absolutely no combat utility and write D&D mechanics for each of them.
Might go over well on DM's Guild? (Minus Frieren herself, of course, for copyright reasons)

I'm honestly surprised whenever posts with my minis get more than a few likes, but lately they've been getting a surprising amount. I know I still have ways to improve (like getting the eyes right), but I do appreciate the positive responses they've been getting, so that's all very encouraging.

Unsolicited advice for anyone on Bluesky who wants to fight fascism in 2026 - don't stress about following big national accounts.
Instead, follow LOCAL groups and people who are doing actual work on the ground. Join them and do stuff right in your community. THAT'S where the real action is. ❤️💪

Every now and then, I get a very odd comment on one of my posts that makes me go “Is this worth responding to, or will it just start a bad faith argument?”
It’s usually the latter.

Painted up two more of my recurring D&D NPCs, Sen and Lana. I was trying to catch the dynamic of "mischievous gal and the guy who puts up with it because they actually care for each other," though my inability to paint eyes may have made that a little harder to convey.
