I'm so excited to share that the Daggerheart game I've been recording for months is ready to start streaming!! A group of amazing queer players, all from Europe (aside from me), gathering to tell a homebrew story! Our GM is amazing. It's a delight to get to be a player.
ISO Game Masters who want to raise funds for Trans Lifeline in April or Doctors Without Borders in May to make game pitches in the @charittrpgs.bsky.social discord as part of a team fundraising event on Tiltify.

3 days in a row of vision loss because of migraine aura. So. Rude. The firework show is pretty, but the forced rest is getting incredibly boring.
The Witch is Dead! One of Grant Howitt's one pagers. So good.
SOKKA MY BOY!!!
That wig makes me feral. The whole thing is glorious. The wig feels like a skill I could reach and has me salivating in Inspired.
And a boomarang.
Hey GMs, things are rough right now. Surprise your #ttrpg players this weekend with a little treat. Keep that door unlocked. Shoot a projectile at the monk. Let the cleric face a horde of undead. Give animals useful info when the Ranger chats with them. Find ways to help the players roll with Hope.
Ahh, yes! Tingling fingers, craving chocolate, insomnia - hello, hypothalamus! I see you throwing a prodrome party! What a delightful idea.
Here's another idea, maybe no instead?

Today I planted a tree.
Holy #%@@, I'm tired.

I even stopped and finally asked for help, dammit....

Photo of 7 year old Diana Crespo sitting with her parents at a table in a restaurant. Her dad is giving a thumbs up.
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
A caramel colored puppy lies on a pile of blankets with her head on a rainbow plushie and stares at the camera with loving eyes.
Migraine brain chemicals would like me to believe that I can do absolutely nothing right. This incredible service dog is here to remind me I am at least capable of petting her.
Best girl. Life saver.
I have loved every digital class I've been able to take from Friday!! I can not recommend them highly enough!!!
I had too many friends dosed too many times in '20 to not know how much havoc this stuff wreaks long term. The eagerness to use it keeps me home because I would become a quick asthmatic detriment.
Take this seriously. Be gentle on you and anyone you know who gets hit by it, especially kids.
Had my first 7 days in a row with minimal migraine symptoms in years that has come to an end. I don't know what's harder - having the symptoms return or now being able to remember what 7 days without them can feel like and losing it again.
This grief is as heavy as the pain is hard.

The acoustic version of Golden from yesterday is playing on repeat in my brain and I didn't even get to hear the full song. Want it on repeat loudly where I can blast sing along with it while weeping cathartic tears. Please.
A brightly packaged bag of loose leaf tea is held up in front of a grey teapot. The company name Friday Afternoon Tea arches across the top of the package and a graphic of a matcha green dragon curls up with a cup of tea in the center of the package. The clear window shows a vibrant blend of dried raspberries, black tea leaves, pink and white tea pot sprinkles, and orange peel. At the bottom of the package a label reads Decaf TeaTRPG, the name of the tea blend.
It has honestly been a rough DM'ing month for me. But tonight the extra sparkle in @fridaytea.com decaf batch of TeaTPRG brought the smile I needed to the table. I was able to get just the right balance of scary enough for the players but not so scary I'll have nightmares tonight.
Perfect. Sparkle.
I have made amends by surrendering my pillow for the night, as appropriate. My head shall be her cuddle comfort until further notice.
She has decided to forgive me for the time unheld this afternoon.
I am ever grateful.
I have more space in my game on February 8 if folks want to join in! I love that @startplaying.bsky.social is increasing the match threshold!
A caramel colored puppy drapes herself on a navy blue recliner with a log cabin quilt draped over the back. The puppy stares forlorn into the vague distance. No one is petting her. It is a tragedy.
Anwyna is clearly disappointed in all of my recent decisions in life. Mostly the ones that don't involve holding her in my lap in this chair at this exact moment.
Tea as a symbol of uprising: from masala chai to yerba mate
“A beverage with its roots tapped deep into the rich groundwaters of both community connectivity and horrifying acts of oppression, tea has served as valuable cash crop for centuries and invaluable empathy engine for millennia...” read the full blog post at www.fridaytea.com
“The places we spend our time and the people with whom we spend said time and the ways in which we connect each cause small, everyday ripples, shaping our collective identity into the one we select for ourselves...” read the full blog post at www.fridaytea.com

It isn’t healthy to be this angry all the time. But it also isn’t healthy if this doesn’t make you angry.
This is absolutely stunning!!!
