Raise your hand if you regularly have a legitimate debate with yourself regarding how honestly to answer the question: “So how have you been?”

Thanks to the cold presently being passed around our family, I just read a Sandra Boynton book to my daughter in a manner that sounded like a Tom Waits spoken word piece. It was nightmare fuel.

She fell asleep happily. 🤣

Every time I see a video from Red Bull, this is my headcanon recruiting process:

“Hey there! You’re an athlete! How do you feel about potentially dying on-camera?”

“I don’t know. I thin-“

“We’re with Red Bull.”

“I’m in!”

I saw it and must share it. It is the way.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

Several years ago, I started watching - for the first time - Avatar: The Last Airbender. I tweeted one react tweet per episode, and made it as far as the end of season 1. I think I need to paste that thread here and continue, especially given the upcoming Magic: The Gathering release.

All that is Italian in me wants to be angry at this, but…

There have been two hosts in the history of Reading Rainbow. The Legend of Literacy, LeVar Burton! And... me, Mychal Threets, a librarian 🥹🤯

I am a reader, a librarian because LeVar Burton and Reading Rainbow made us believe and see we belong in books, we belong everywhere ✨

Smiling Mychal with hands raised wears an outer space shirt in a library. It is a still from an episode of Reading Rainbow.

LeVar Burton smiles with hands behind his head as he lies down on a colorful pile of books. ENEMY PIE book rests on his chest.

@hollyconrad.bsky.social , just shot you a DM. 🙂

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 19d

If I read this right, I’m not a fit, as I’m a psychologist and not an LMHC. Thanks for thinking of me though!

Fact: There is a correlation between increased internet searches for “Tylenol” “acetaminophen” and Jimmy Kimmel’s return.

I mean, you saw the Marvel Secret Lair stuff, yes? It’s pretty awesome!

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 28d

Correct. My DayQuil-fueled rant was not about game balance. That said, I have questions.

“It's already proven to cause a lot of serious issues for the health of the game...” My sibling in Jesus, huh?! Name five UB cards that don’t start with the letter “Vivi” which prove all UB sets are a problem.

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 29d

It’s such an old insult that it’s become new again. 😅

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 29d

I’ll defer to friends like @futuredrjoan.bsky.social or @victoriatran.bsky.social who are actual experts on participatory culture and community management, respectively, but my hypothesis is that when the grognards start finding other grognards, and they’re not managed, they multiply like tribbles.

I’m not sure that’s fair. Every fandom has its problems (COUGH! COUGH! STAR WARS! COUGH! COUGH!)
Even if it’s only 1% of the people being a problem, if you have a million-person fandom, you have 10,000 grognards who ruin it for everyone else.

It may have turned into a similarly themed rant.

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 29d

I’m not going to tell any of you to go touch some grass, because I think what you really need to do is learn to touch some hearts. Fandoms are social, and you never know who you’re about to dissuade by being an ass hat. I stopped playing for 25 years because of gatekeeping douchebaggery.

Doctor B @theedoctorb.bsky.social · 29d

NOTE: none of the above applies to you if your response to the UB sets is, “You know, I tend to like the original Magic lore, so UB sets aren’t my thing, but I can see why others like them,” or, “I like the UB sets, but I do wish they were a little less frequent,” or some equivalent.

“Nobody I play with likes Universes Beyond!” Maybe if y’all went to a chiropractor for your acute cases of craniorectal inversion, you might get invited to the chill tables where people are just there to have fun. There are plenty of them.

I hate to break it to folks who instantly look at a Universes Beyond set and revile, Wizards wouldn’t keep doing them if they weren’t popular. Do me a solid and look up “false consensus effect.”
