For Indigenous Peoples Day, why not just watch Rumble and get to know Link Ray. Then goggle John Trudell and just listen to him.

I can’t believe I’m actually thinking about making plans to watch the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny’s half time show in February, but here we are.

I wish they would go bite someone else, y’know?

I’ve had TWO stress dreams about the CIC recently. In one of them, I had to set up his phone, & was trying to figure out how to enable parental controls to keep him off social media; in the other, I was trying to get the facts in a document right, & he was making edits that undid my work as I went.

Soon I’ll be back to the “it’s only 1 AM, surely there’s some small scrap of humanity and justice somewhere to be found, so I can think about that and not grind my teeth in my sleep!?!?” phase.

Welp, I’m officially in the “gosh, it’s already 8:45, I should be getting to bed” phase of my desire to avoid the news cycle and thereby have a decent night’s rest.

If you were affected by this, please let me know. I may be able to help you file a discrimination claim with Massachusetts state.

Fenway was under no legal obligation to stop providing care. This was cowardly capitulation.

“We didn’t cross the border, the border crossed us” is such common and tragic thing.

You do indeed have a right to be angry, especially in the face of injustice.

Boo-ly, Li'l Ghost Bull 👻🐮 @bullythelsb.bsky.social · Jun 28

you have a right to be angry

Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

Hearing just now of @robowieland.bsky.social 's passing. We chatted last week, planning a longer conversation, and this is such a shock. May his family be comforted by knowing how much he will be missed and remembered far and wide, and may his memory be a blessing.

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 1d

Blocking out time for this would 100% NOT make it happen, I can tell you that!

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 1d

I feel like I have a tiny bit of my much-longed-for super power of stopping time for everyone else so I can just get stuff done. It’s amazing. How do I trick myself into this more often??

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve pulled apart a problem corner and put it back together in a much more orderly fashion, moved a bunch of yardage to a better spot, and put away a whole event worth of LARP gear. How do I still have almost an hour? What even is time?!?

MegueyB @megueyb.bsky.social · 1d

I pulled everything off the porch onto the yard, sorted it into Toss/Recyle/Keep, made room for the AC unit, got everything put away before the rain hit, moved the AC unit, and now I have….extra time? What even is this?

Tis the season! The spooky season. Murderous Ghosts is a great one-shot for 2 to 20 players. You're a resourceful urban explorer, lost in a haunted building. Can you find your way out before the ghosts find you? Outlook uncertain!
