Made over a dozen friends, some of whom I’ve met up with. Found literature roleplay as a teen and fell in love with writing (and made it my career). Found community, which helped drag me through my depression. And most importantly: I met my partner <3

Years ago, Lisa helped me when I was still tabling at cons selling jewellery. So when she asked me to assist her at her first convention as a vendor, I was happy to return the favour 💕

I won't say too much on this as I am white, but I do feel like that was such an important thing to say, as there seems to be this sentiment that "Western" countries keep coming to the "rescue" of countries in (particularly) the Middle East. When often those "Western" countries caused those problems.

After having watched the whole speech there was something she said that stood out to me: "We are not heroes. The Palestinians do not need saving. We are simply listening to their call for action" (paraphrasing)

She really said "don't you dare turn this into white saviourism" and she's right.

Gotta shout out my current long campaign GMs for putting up with the random messages they get from me pitching them possible scenarios, asking vaguely fucked up questions, and just yapping at them in general.

@tanfighter.bsky.social @chrifu.bsky.social @theworstrhino.bsky.social, I appreciate you ❤️

Such an important episode to me personally. Grateful I’ve been given room to tell a story about identity and gender, something that’s obviously very personal to me as well. I hope it resonates with people ❤️

The enthusiasm was great 😂 And thank you! ❤️

The whole thing was amazing too. Just two people being vulnerable with each other, working through their insecurities and anxieties, but in the end confirming that they do love each other. @tanfighter.bsky.social is a wonderful RP partner (and GM!) <3
