Trying Blades in the Dark for the first time at Con of the North. Loving it. Totally get how you could make an Animorphs game out of it

Last work from home day for the rest of the week so I'm dancing around to Victor Jones at my desk while archiving documents and applying for jorbs

Eat The Reich.

Local vampire baddies are doing their part to fight ICE and fight for our crumbling democracy.

What will you do? (Please DM me if you need resources and places to donate)

Living in Minnesota right now means getting your heart broken every day, multiple times a day. Some days it also means having your faith in humanity restored. Please keep watching Minnesota, if you live elsewhere. Things are still dire.

Purple sorcerer is such a wildly helpful utility.

Just remembered that I need pregens for a con next weekend while I was out for lunch.

Pulled up the site, it had the specific weird DCC adventure I'll be running as a sub table, so I was able to just generate them all while sitting here

Report from RPG night:

Playing a wild west fantasy RPG (Deadlands). Playing a sort of poker/demon summoner magician guy.

Our foes had one too. GM tried to get him to cast a spell at us (with silly onerous rules), he whiffed on the spell, and then I just dropped him with a revolver.

Tomorrow in photography:

1. Volunteer shoot for an event with a bunch of rabbits

2. Shoot with a model wearing a custom made scale mail top that I built over the last month

It's February.

You are probably scrambling to book Valentine's shoots.

Consider me!

Just ran a meeting for the first time in a while where I felt like a PM again.

Good reminder that I like organizing people and helping them be on track.

PS: I'm actively looking for remote project management, project coordination or analyst work.

(Also down for Hybrid in Twin Cities)

Cheekbones meet natural light - got to have another photographer, the talented maggiepoolphotography in front of the cam

Beautiful space, super fun shoot -forgot how excellent midday natural light can be. More to come from this

I'm an RPG masochist. I've made the foolish decision to have both of my tables for Vampire the Masquerade take place in the same setting so I'll need to track time and changes to characters across both

Hey friends - I'm actively looking for PM or analyst work. Preference for remote or hybrid in Minneapolis. Especially interested in the non profit sector

There's a lot of news today, but if you haven't heard, Bruce Springsteen is playing First Avenue in, like, less than an hour from now.

My colleague Jared Kaufman is there and I'll post a link to his story once it goes live.
It’s official: Bruce Springsteen is now in Minneapolis for benefit concert
Rise Against, Al Di Meola and Ike Reilly are also on the bill along with a “very special guest.”

Wild to watch a Republican candidate for governor drop out in disgust at the horrors perpetuated by his party in the State.

Clearly a guy I disagree with on a lot of stuff, but seems like a person disgusted by racism and violence who holds to his principles.

And they won't release the names.
CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

If I was trapped in a restaurant because everyone hated me and the local cops refused my "pleas for help," I would take that information TO THE GRAVE.

But, ICE (the softest mall cops in the world) seem to have gone a different direction. lol
