If you haven't been it's time to reinvest in physical media — print versions, zines, flash drives, DVDs, CDs, cassettes [my weird fave], etc.

(Re)Learn the old magic & make them at home (join me)
DIY does limit some forms of access BUT NSFW art, games, and media should be protected in every medium!
With itch shadowbanning NSFW content I think we're finally at a point where we're going to actually see crypto gaining more and more use just to be a person on the Internet, which genuinely sucks.

My most Millennial take is that I miss getting my weird software on physical media in the mail.
Also *most* people at #PaxUnplugged were well behaved, but as a reminder ASK disabled people (especially wheelchair users) if they need help, WAIT for the response, and respect their if the answer is no.

The next time I say graphic design is my passion don't let me I am so unhappy 😭😭😭
(We're doing it right the first time so we don't have to do it again)
*Me designing a logo for a thing after I did iterative sketching by hand*

I know why this looks like AI because everything is flat & spot colored but the form and function of this particular thing has to be a certain way for its applications

(going to bed, will try again when the sun is out)

This is a reminder to subject @themoulinrogue.bsky.social to my grad school academic paper as poem & recipe as poem

(All part of my exploration of what is play anyhow)

This PaxU was one that snuck up on me. Highlights include:

Locking myself out of my apartment

Impromptu wheelchair user meetups at the elevators

Yapping about Larps professionally

Sponsored by RedBull? Closer than you think

And of course seeing the people & also missing tons of them

Today's the last day to back the TTRPG The Time We Have project. Sharing a little bit of art I got to do for it. I'm so happy to see this project has been funded and wishing the best for @moreblueberries.bsky.social to meet more stretch goals and make it even more expansive 💖

Pop down to rm 120B at #PaxU to learn about Larp (and see me!)

[I'll give you a larp if you want!]

Tired but full - I love getting to yap and introducing folks to Larping and how they can Larp in their own area!

I'm not at the con because all of the elevators are out in the marathon is ruining bus routing! I'm having a great day thanks for asking

wearing a respirator today, this weekend, lowers the risk of bringing unwanted microscopic guests to your holiday celebrations, now less than a week away. your government has no interest in supporting you to preventing illness, nor in caring for you once you’re ill—take responsibility. mask up.
we are in an unprecedented untenable situation: wanton destruction of federal public health apparati (already reduced by biden), on top of a precarious, ever consolidating for-profit “care” system that’s been inching toward collapse for yrs as insurance rates soar—& you won’t help prevent illness? 🤨
make a choice to resist fascism every day.

PaxU will probably forever be my favorite conference because of the sheer ability to go home come back easily (yes it used to be C2E2 when I lived in bronzeville)

I don't mind sleeping in a different bed, but being able to access a kitchen always makes it easier to call wherever home temporarily

I am so feral for this
Lastly I am super excited to be partnering with @kristenmiller.bsky.social to bring the Zine Machine to PAX! Come pull one of 11 one page zines from this incredible little vending machine

if white people think black people are mean/scary it's prolly because they were rude to a black person in a space where they thought whiteness would protect them from accountability and that black person very quickly reminded them - likely with poise - that we can sue you dingbats for racism now

When the NYT posits women’s rights ruined the workplace, when the Crimson publishes professors’ proclivity to coerce sex from vulnerable femme colleagues, when the Ep list is in headlines, I repeat:

CONSENT MATTERS.

Pouring one out for Alice Wong.

I tip my 40 to your memory.
Take a drink, & I,
Stop to think, & I,
I know one day soon,
We'll be, we'll be hangin' out.

Community is magic.
Community is power.
Community is resistance.

May her memory be a revolution.

Saying this again now that I'm back from location with good Wi-Fi again,
anybody got an extra 3-day PaxU badge? 💰

Above market value, would rather give that to a person and then a corporation

I swear I bought one but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Me, tired, under caffeinated, finally home preparing myself to unpack all of my stuff and do inventory:

🎶 I don't think you're ready for the SHAKEDOWN🎶

(Yes, I do calculate my utilization rate)

Yo if you know anyone with a 3-day paxU they want to sell let me know (I'm currently off working on a project and straight up just forgot to buy one 😅 [and definitely not because I'm poor and was waiting)

I'm a real afro-indigenous queer person who lives in Philly & does games so I would love to go

A reminder to those fortunate enough to be able to donate to food banks, of course cheap non-perishables is how many go and those are great too, but if you have the means, there’s a ton of people who need food banks with medical issues who need gluten-free food, dairy free etc.!
