There once was a girl
Who lived in the forest
She whispered to her best forest friends:
“I’ve had a personal experience”

“Wow!” they exclaimed

A man she never met
Miles, miles away
Heard that “wow” and rose to his feet
Climbed hills
Crossed rivers
Fought dragons
Only to tell her:

“No, you didn’t”

UK FOLKS! I know of two full-time salaried roles in tabletop that will soon be open for:

Ideally based in/willing to move to Nottingham, UK. And I've been asked for recommendations!

I'll be prioritising marginalised folks, so please: DM me for details, comment and tag!

Absolutely worth your vote

I see many posts debating the extent or not of misogyny in epic fantasy are citing lists of exclusively male authors. Time to repost this, I see.

Welcome, followers new and old; there’s some hints of what I think my musings on here will be in the #Tech and #TTRPG posts a few days ago, but feel from to #AMA

This is straight up some of the best Star Trek I've seen in any medium in about a quarter of a century.
It nails the characters' voices and motivations and back stories. It has a philosophical point to make.

And most of all it has something politically relevant to say. It draws blood.

“Black users on Bluesky are already working to build a community on the site. One user, Rudy Fraser, launched Blacksky, a collection of curated, Black-centered feeds that filter out racism and misogyny to provide a safe, inclusive experience for users.”

And this one recently garnered the British Fantasy Award. @tobithedreamer.bsky.social

Gentle reminder to lift folks up, amplify underrepresented voices and be kind to one another, especially in disagreement

Good to see the pre:invent announcements from AWS doubling down on identity security, with root user management, resource control policies and the re-emphasis on MFA

Also, some #Tech stuff

Strategising:
- Wardley Maps
- Value Stream Mapping
- Threat Modelling

Reading:
- Cyber for Builders
- Working Backwards

Coding:
- Expanding unit and fuzz tests for a Steampipe plugin
- Potential new Steampipe plugin
- Security and Ops for AWS Org
- Dotfiles with Chezmoi

So, some #TTRPG stuff

Playing:
- Godbound, a homebrew post-Ragnarok setting
- WFRP, 4e and 1e
- Theogenesis

Reading:
- The Monsters Know What They're Doing

Working:
- Feeding a play-by-forum campaign to a LLM
- Embiggening my homebrew settings
- Some interactive fiction
- Rules for a faction game

Blue sky thinking: here for the feels and the opportunity to listen to new voices; to amplify and redefine my echo chamber; to create and to write, be it code or rules, poetry or prose.
