My TTRPG Pathfinder D&D group is planning to get together to watch Heated Rivalry (for some it will be the first time, for others not). This will probably occur concurrent to (re)watching Babylon 5. Any kindred spirits out there?
Happy Thoughts: Heated Rivalry, Bad Bunny, Seahawks win the Superbowl, the Muppet Show returns, renewables have overtaken fossil fuel in electricity generation in major regions with encouraging progress in fusion energy. They warm my progressive, Gen X, PNW heart. 💚💙
“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.”

While I am disheartened to learn the House has passed a bill making gender-affirming care for minors illegal, I am encouraged to hear the Senate is unlikely to pass it. 🏳️⚧️
My thoughts and votes are with our transgender citizens. 🇺🇸
Last week I sang and helped record a short operetta with talented friends. Today, I helped someone prepare for a musical callback audition. Grateful for little rewarding experiences. ❤️🎶
Attended a new monthly music series in Seatttle. This month featured a 1+ hour course in vocal versatility by Gemma Balinbin, Engagement Manager at the 5th Ave Theatre. It was a kickoff to my upcoming weekend in Victoria, BC at my 1st regional National Association of Teachers of Singing conference.
I’m excited to have registered for the National Association of Teachers of Singing 2026 Winter Workshop, January 3-5 at the Manhattan School of Music in NYC. I’ll also attend the National Musical Theatre Competition Finals.
It has worked for me for decades. 🤓
At TTRPG game night last night I asked the GM some questions that created some unexpected solutions to a problem that looked dark. I uncovered a secret, made a new powerful ally, sent out a call to rally others. I’m feeling pretty good about myself. 😂
Do yourself a favor and image search for Vardo Wagons.
I’m rereading Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson in chapter 8 just blew my mind again. 🤯
Now that Starfinder Second Edition is launching, one could play a Brigadoon inspired ttrpg one-shot about a miraculously blessed village that appears out of the mists every one hundred years for only a day. It’s a sci-fi/fantasy mashup in the making.
I’m ready to sing some musical theater songs and hymns for the Pride Service today: Love Who You Love from A Man of No Importance and You’ll Never Walk Alone from Carousel.
Likewise. Plus all the Asian setting and magical girl development they’ve done.
I’m only a few minutes into the movie and I can already see Paizo is so well positioned to create KPop Demon Hunter RPG characters. Well done, former colleagues, well done.
A Gru meme where Gru is giving a presentation. In the top left panel, his presentation states, "PaizoCon is from May 24rd through May 27th." In the top right panel, his presentation states, "Tickets go on sale today, March 6th." In the middle left and middle right panel, his presentation states, "One badge gets you as much gaming as you want, even in the dead of night..." both times. Finally, in the bottom panel that spans the full width of the image, his presentation states, "I can learn Pathfinder and Starfinder secrets in my own timezone without getting out of bed!"

Vil Seral, the human male instructor from the Academy of Reclamation, and Abhaya the Returner, the Vudran undine Surveyor of the Seas from the Monastery of the Unbreaking Waves, stand with books and an abacus floating above the background of a blurred scene of the bustling convocation from Pathfinder Lost Omens: Rival Academies.
Today, we'd like to shine a light on all the wonderful authors who contributed to Pathfinder Lost Omens: Rival Academies. Read about them and their work in the blog!

Happy Imbolc! Yule is over. Still winter, but it’s the end of the Big Dark on both sides of the shortest day of the year in the northern hemisphere.
Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!
I love my family, and I’m having a good holiday season with them, but I am reminded I come from a long line of feisty, undiplomatic people. 🤭
Made a fun little Legally Blonde photo montage.
“We must risk delight. We can do without pleasure, but not delight. Not enjoyment. We must have the stubbornness to accept our gladness in the ruthless furnace of this world. To make injustice the only measure of our attention is to praise the Devil.”
Jack Gilbert, Refusing Heaven
Happy Opening to Legally Blonde! 🎄💖
