After nearly five years of one of the greatest honors of my life, I will be stepping down as president of Birds of Paradise. Until a new direction for the group is decided, we will be going on an indeterminate hiatus.

BOP! has done amazing volunteer work to increase representation in Magic.

Can you put into words what that purpose is? You and the frog have really become icons of this protest.

There’s been a nice overall whimsy that has shown up. The frog is amazing. We had a bunch of other inflatable people here last night, too. I saw people playing Twister the other day.

What they rely on is fear. So by coming out in an absurdist manner, it speaks to them, to some extent, that we’re actually not that afraid.

It also dismantles their narrative a little bit. When they try to describe this situation as “war-torn,” it becomes much harder to take them seriously when they have to post a video saying [U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security] Kristi Noem is up on the balcony staring over the Antifa Army and it’s, like, eight journalists and five protesters and one of them is in a chicken suit.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

A tiny human (1?) is fascinated by Mum's shoelaces.(Ohhh.)
Whenever he undoes them, he sits back, looking at Mum expectantly.
Mum bends down, ties them and...
OOPS Tiny Human's undone them again!

I’ve received a report from anonymous active duty personnel in Texas that the Texas National Guard will be moving out nationwide to ICE Protest sites, possibly in civilian gear, and changing their unit patches to hide origins.

Screw it, restock tomorrow! Since they’re in stock, they’ll ship pretty much immediately, assuming they aren’t in the same order as a pre-order item.

Speaking of a pre-order item, the Rhystic Studies shirt (#1) pre-order ends on Friday. Xoxo

Getting covid and flu annuals for the kids was absolutely the right decision.

It's also a decision that name for two extremely whiny, shouty kiddos today.

To coin a phrase: stick a fork in me, I'm done

Not to mention podcasting and streaming. My life would be unrecognizable, hell, I would be unrecognizable without social media.

Tracy @theothertracy.bsky.social · 1d

Everything that I've done in TTRPGs has, at some level, been possible because of social media. Mainly Twitter before it was rendered a cesspool.

Hundreds of social connections, Kickstarter successes, dozens of games. None of it without everyone I learned and everyone I met.
