As I round the corner on the week, I find myself SO full of gratitude to everyone who shared, donated, or engage with my @extralife4kids.bsky.social efforts this last week.

Every little bit helps and means so much. Thank you all! Very proud to be #WotCStaff & part of an organization that cares.

Will this work? I sure hope so! I'd love to raise some money for my local Children's Hospitals.

please note, if i share an anecdote about work it'll 100% be NOT specific to any unreleased work, process, etc. BUT it might give you a fun glimpse into the magic behind Magic. ;)

I figured, why not get a head start on the tomfoolery? I'm trying my hand @ fund-raisin' here! Tonight! With NOT ACTUAL bribery.

For every donation made to the link above, I'll share something -a fun fact abt work, me, my son (& reason for everything, including this), a MtG story or EDH tip&trick!

Hello BlueSky! Magic IP's Narrative Design manager here!

Just a week ago, we celebrated Pip's 9th birthday and his 3rd year being tumor free.

Needless to say, we're eternally grateful to the surgeons, nurses, and staff at Rady's. We try to express that gratitude any/every way we can.

Extra Life is one such way. :)

At age 5, just before his 6th bday, he was diagnosed with a brain tumor - a pilocytic astrocytoma. Shortly after the diagnosis (a midnight MRI) we were admitted to Rady's Children's, and at the first available opening, the team there removed the tumor (thank you Dr. Levy!!!) cleanly.

Anyhow, if you can't tune in, but you're so inclined, I'd be super grateful if you could donate! Every little bit helps!

Shoutout to Rady's Children Hospital's - the neurosurgeons there *literally* saved my son's life. πŸ™
