→ Telling the truth
→ Finding joy
→ Refusing to perform
→ Resting
→ Preparing

For it to be a rebellion, there must be a cost. That's how you know it's a rebellion. Those costs can be very real and very heavy.

Today, I gave my first ever talk on games, featuring lesser known gems in the role playing space. I was nervous but it was a blast! I even did a mini demo of Honey Heist, and had the chat act as gamemaster. Un-bear-ivably fun!
Thinking about running it again soon, maybe with a few new surprises!

Last week, I designed a game where my client took on the role of the deity of presentations and picked affirmations to send to folks in distress. At the end, they said:
"If I’d say these to a friend, I should probably say them to myself, too."
EXACTLY. Be kind to yourself.
