Today I am bringing back one of my most treasured convention traditions from the pre-COVID con years.

If you see me today, and/or if we've interacted at all this weekend, please flag me down to sign my #PAXUnplugged convention yearbook.

Go Birds.
A blank sheet of notebook paper with "PAX UNPLUGGED 2025 YEARBOOK!" written on it, ready for signatures. Jeff selfie in his Eagles #62 Jason Kelce jersey and FLO Mask, thumbs up, ready for a great day. Go Birds.

My Major Kira "This Machine Kills Fascists" design is upscaled and available to order on a t-shirt! It's strictly by pre-sale for now and will ship in about four weeks.

Hanging out and watching @veemuse.bsky.social at #PAXU Workshop “So Easy, It’s Scary! – Tips for Speed Painting Miniatures” as she leads folks through painting @wizkids.bsky.social Evil Gingerbread Man! (The mini is appropriately seasonally horrifying, y’all.) 🍪

It's day 3 of PAX Unplugged and your last chance to swing by @ipr.bsky.social. I want to highlight a few special games for your consideration:

The #Marathon runners #coffee blocked us! Despite our best efforts, we couldn’t get around them.

I would call today a "skip day" except I got in my steps trying to get around the WALL OF RUN. 😂

Mind the streets today for closures and have a fun Sunday at #PAXU! #goodmorning #PAXUnplugged 💖

Friends, I won't be on site for the last day of #PAXUnplugged because of when my train leaves, but this year's con has frankly blown me away. I'm coming to the conclusion that, for the best #PAXU experience, you have to schedule as little as possible and just see who you run into.

Bad as I am at networking, I need to convince my brain that giving out my business card is a TCG where the win condition is to run out your hand, regardless of whether you have acquired an equal number in return. 🤔 😂

It's time for "How to Avoid Creating a Non-Melanated Gaming Group" @cypheroftyr.bsky.social @urbanbohemian.com @critbard.com @intersectionscch.bsky.social @dmjazzyhands.bsky.social & @quincystavern.bsky.social at #paxu!
A picture of the full panel on stage, including a sign language interpreter. A slide from the panel: Topics: Using social media appropriately. Stop the excuses of you don't know any POC. Stop the calls for POC creators that go nowhere (aka here's a list of people I follow! you should follow them too!! UwU & heart hands!) Understand seeking to diversify your table isn't tokenization. Being aware of the difference of appreciating IP and other cultures and appropriation.

Day two of #PAXU. Realized I hadn’t done a lanyard photo; no new pins yet, but we’ll see if there’s an addition or two today. Preparing for a morning of game running with the elixir of the gods… ☕️
Latte with pin-laden lanyard, a combination worthy of random socials?

Time for one of my periodic “I’m definitely going to stick with social media THIS time” moments. But anyway, the descent into the expo hall of #PAXU begins… 🖖

Thanks to everyone who came by my signing today! If you didn't get a chance to pick up MAKING ENEMIES there, it's still available at the Simon & Schuster booth (#2852). While you're there, pick up something by my fellow Chicagoan @oneshotrpg.bsky.social!

Just hit the expo floor at #PAXU #PAXUnplugged and wandering around, being trolled on cam by @spacevalkyries.bsky.social and roasting them in return! 💖

Cw: suicide
This article is devastating.

Earlier this month, a 15-year-old died by suicide the day after posting about a substitute teacher insisting on misgendering him.

Suicide can have many contributing factors. His family is speaking out about bullying and misgendering as two.
