Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Attempted lasagna for the first time. It was a lovely pile of pasta that could be identified as an attempt at lasagna, which I'm counting as a victory for a first time.

Greg Ketter bought one of my earliest stories for a bookstore-themed anthology! He and DreamHaven books deserve your support if you can swing it.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

I am updating the wishlists as they come in from new printers, and updating some with our new superhero/codenames, which are delightful and incredibly fun!

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.

In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Work knows, I can be public about it!

I am scheduled for bottom surgery on 2/4. I do not qualify for Short Term Disability, so I need help staying afloat while I'm down. I'm working double shifts in tech support/writing dub scripts until 2/3, anything is DEEPLY appreciated!

The MGM Lion in the Masters of the Universe trailer should have been replaced with Battle Cat, and the fact that they didn't do that is honestly a red flag when you're trying to sell me a He-Man movie.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Canadians you are not prepared for the temperature he tells you he is experiencing here.

Iykyk, but the one thing I've learned about game dev very early on is that if there's a big controversial writing decision, the writing team will have flagged it, they were ignored, and they will be the ones blamed regardless
Call me old-fashioned, but I think it’s incredibly crass to demand certain (controversial) story beats from your writing team, fire that writing team, then throw that writing team under the bus for decisions *they didn’t make* while marketing your new thing.
Very crass! Very ick!

The US troops being deployed to US states COULD be providing emergency disaster relief and helping people in the south survive and keep power during the incoming ice storm. That they aren't, that we are ramping up the threat from ICE to our military, is yet another black mark on our country.

Reading the Bendis Legion of Superheroes run from 2019 and had to start over because despite my best efforts, I picked up the alien language font, and now I have to go back and see what everything said. Regrettably, I am exactly that kind of nerd.

We Albertans all realize that the current US government is pushing the separatism BS, right? It’s not a secret: APP people are touting it like the US gov’t will recognize an independent Alberta - which they will, right up until they absorb us to take our oil. Would be sad if it wasn’t so scary.
