I'm finally at a place in my job where i can designate research time in my schedule. My long talked about desire to look at tabletop gaming from a folklore standpoint is finally being fulfilled!
As an archivist I have to say, thus far @criticalrole.bsky.social is following Archives best practices of care of documents and security #criticalrolespoilers #criticalrole #archives
Please also consider giving them MONEY so they can purchase what they need.
Food banks are about to need extra help with SNAP benefits on hold! High demand items are typically canned meats, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, chicken noodle soup, etc but if you look up your local orgs online they will likely have lists of what they need most!

Every time someone refers to these, just speculate out loud that they'll be used to track and identify people traveling out of state for abortion care. Works like a charm. I cluster bombed a whole table of my coworkers planning to buy them by reminding them Meta already cooperates with the police.

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

Basically, I'm 100% against Nazis, Nazism, Nazi symbols, and the ideas of Adolf Hitler

And I'm old enough to remember when that stance was so widespread in American politics and culture that it was considered boring to even say

CR is going to make me reread/rewatch all my Peter Pan media.
The last year was a rough one but working on my PhD apps and getting back into the ttrpg and cosplay communities more actively in the last few months has got me so excited. Goals are set. Now just to hit the milestones.
We so rarely get ace characters and then masc ace characters are even fewer and farther between. Happy ace awareness week to fellow demi Lucanis Dellamorte

Psyching myself up to try to paint this with watercolors and gouache 😅

If you’re looking for answers, this ain’t your roundtable. Instead it’s a lot of generative (unanswered) questions about who gets to be an authority, what it means to teach & evangelize for TTRPGs in different contexts, & more.

Hopefully the start of more conversations with more folks, more places.
Tune in Monday October 20th for our latest Talk of the Table Roundtable.

This conversation with @friede.bsky.social, @itsquinns.bsky.social, and @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social is all about teaching TTRPGs through actual play and finding more on-ramps into this hobby for new players.

I saw something recently that said a strategy for adhd is you just need to commit to doing 30%. The full scope of 100% of a project is just too overwhelming. So just start with some thumbnails or sketches for now and then commit to another 30% another day or week. Any progress IS progress
Me, but bare hands kneading the pie dough in a holiday sweater.
If Boston has my heart, New York has my soul. I took this beautiful picture of the skyline at the wedding of two dear friends. The groom had told me "if you love this city, the city will love you back." he has been so right. This weekend was absolutely incredible. This city is magic.
On my way to Javits. Say hi if you see me today or tomorrow! I'll be Shep both days ✨ #nycc #femshep #masseffectcosplay
