Thanks to a collaboration with @opseusefpo.bsky.social Local 557, there's a new variant of my Keyholder mini-game. I present to you:

Ah, those six sweet words that set my mind at ease: "None of my allergies are anaphylactic."

Happy Labour Day, everyone! I'm in Toronto with my fellow Bargaining Team members, and my dear Part Time counterpart Sara!

Or is that just a wire for his earpiece? That's less funny.

David Usher's wallet chain though.

I've always wanted to know!

Also, I'm probably going to be renting a space for this. If you have or know of suitable spaces available, please hmu.

So I guess I'm last-minute running a parlour larp in Montreal this weekend!

Montreal gamers, please put me in touch with folks you think might be interested!

#Montreal #larp #514Gaming #CallingAllLarpers

About to get on a train en direction Montréal! Texte-moi if you're around. I have a whole deux semaines à m'amuser! Café, jaser, karaoké, n'importe quoi, let's hang out!

My hand, holding three items: an envelope with my name handwritten on the front, a book titled "War Birds", and a box titled "Lumberjills". The book and box are in their original plastic wrap.

I'm so happy to have these in my actual hands. Thanks Mo and @warbirds.bsky.social ! 💖

Ugh. So. I was caught in layoffs months ago and things are getting a bit desperate. If anyone is looking to hire a 15-year industry vet with a bunch of awards to do game design, narrative design, content design, or writing (games or other things!), please hit me up.

When we're making plans and I say "it's in my calendar", I'm really saying that meeting you is important to me, so I've done my best to ensure it happens. I'll definitely have forgotten by then, but I'll get a lovely surprise reminder just in time!

My love language is ADHD accommodation techniques.

There's someone there (e.g. me) to facilitate the whole thing

It's a group of people all playing out the (unscripted) scenario. And no audience means no observers!

Sorry I didn't see your comment until now!
In a nutshell, at a larp you spend a couple of hours pretending to be someone else. There's generally some sort of scenario established; think of it as improv, but without an audience!

If you're bargaining with an employer who's actively trying to remove your vacation, make it easier to lay you off, and curtail your right to grieve unfair pay, is it unreasonable to keep drawing pictures of them at the negotiation table even though it makes them uncomfortable?

Asking for a friend.

A pedestrian crossing light, with both the "walk" and "don't walk" lights illuminated.

I'm getting serious mixed messages here, Toronto.

Update: Simon has been found, safe and sound! Thank you to everyone who boosted the signal. 💖

Lost cat, Hamilton, Ontario

#hamont friends, please spread the word and message me with sightings. From a friend:

"My cat Simon, 6yo, is missing. He is very skittish and scares easily. Escaped overnight by breaking through a screen window. Last seen June 21 at Brucedale and Upper Gage."

I think perhaps the most wrong autocorrect ever gets is when I want to write "queer" and it changes it to "quiet".

Ha ha, very funny, @theonion.com, this would never...

Uh, why is The Onion posting on NYTimes.com?

#SatireIsDead

Three colorful notebooks on a table. Each has a different cover design: "we're gonna start a revolution" with an illustrated flower motif, "dismantle the patriarchy" on a plain background, and "feminist rants sapphic poetry plans for world domination" with an illustrated heart motif.

Our bargaining team chair got us some notebooks to use in bargaining sessions, starting this week.

I F!ing love my team.

Standing in solidarity with @cupe1750proud.bsky.social at the WSIB picket line. @opseusefpo.bsky.social Local 241 loves you!

#UnionStrong

There are a non-negligible number of people who often need to be convinced to attend my larps, but who read "costuming encouraged" in the callout and are like, "OMG I'VE BEEN WAITING MY WHOLE LIFE FOR THIS"

I love these people.

On June 23, dress Fae and join me!

Each year in the not for profit public sector I am less willing to work in for-profit orgs.
Each week on a schedule tailored to me and to the work I'm doing I am more disillusioned with the standard of 9-5 M-F.
Each day I see others abused and denied rights I take my own situation less for granted.

I'm a deeply joyful individual, but I bring flaws to the world.

Session 3 of 3 in our game of Microscope Echo. Somehow we managed to heal the timeline by bringing back a war in Vietnam? Also the US invades Canada because our food is too bland. But at least we avoided creating a time loop and irradiating the planet with capsaicin!
