Absolutely devastating time to realize today is β€œspring forward” while I’m vibing on the couch.

β€œWait… it was 1.45 like two minutes ago.”

I know my time blindness isn’t great but I didn’t think it was THAT bad.

Please note for The Witcher 3- I chose to emphasize Blood and Wine, as always.

I love these trends because it just reinforces how shockingly predictable I am.

The beautiful Strahd art reminded me to share that my friend and colleague, Hayden, and I wrote about our favorite villains for the new Psychgeist of D&D book ✨

There are organizations that exist to help trans folks relocate, but they need more resources (Money, Mutual Aid Commitments, Etc.). It isn't a quick solution, but nothing is fast enough for this level of absurdity. Here's a few that could use your support: (🧡)

I complain knowing that I have a lot of privilege to travel and to have a little more flexibility than most with my schedule but god damn has this storm totally wrecked flying for me. Waiting to see if yet another flight has been canceled.

I think he gave up after I said β€œSteamdeck” and kept going.

I got pulled for a random check today at TSA and the guy said he needed to swab my electronics. He asked what I had and after listing damn near every portable electronic I own, because I’m traveling for 3 weeks, the agent just blinked, shook his head and just asked for the laptop.

Reaction from ben doyle (@thewheatgerm): "this is the equivalent of hitler sending you to stalingrad"

Context: Alan Rickman was my first major celebrity crush when I was a teenager and apparently 13 year old Amelia did not care he was 46 years older.

13 year old Amelia was weird but so is 33 year old Amelia. Nothing has changed.
