If you want to stand up against fascism, then you have to defend trans rights. It’s nonnegotiable. We all lose otherwise.

I was going through my shelves for who I own multiple books for while putting this together. Though I don’t own Animorphs (yet).

5 authors I’ve read at least 5 books by (in alphabetical order)

K. A. Applegate
L. Frank Baum
C.S. Lewis
Terry Pratchett
Rick Riordan

My brother keeps telling me I don't need all these physical books, most of them ttrpg books, and I should get rid of them. He doesn't like it when I tell him to f--- off.

The 2026 Rainbow Book List is live! Being on the committee for this has been an honor, and I’m happy to be a part of this for one more year.

If you were closer, I'd definitely come over for a hug.

Finally got around to trying @thestorygraph.com - let’s see how this goes!

I got another sourcebook for Paranoia, which will be very helpful as I prep to run that system at cons this year.

It needs to be said more often that the world is a better, more beautiful and more enriching place BECAUSE trans people are a part of it.

You also played Heart, we were both in that oneshot :)

Thanks!

My physical shelves are still small enough that it’s feasible to eventually run them all. My digital shelves are already getting out of hand, but that’s the joy of Humble Bundle and various other deals.

Cosmere was a oneshot run by a friend, and I enjoyed getting to play it, but it’s not a system I’d want to run - I prefer running systems that let me wing things more.

I love running Paranoia, it’s so tongue-in-cheek. 10/10 system once you have a quick debrief with your table about what to expect.

My #TTRPGYearInReview 2025

Cosmere - played
DarkSpace - played
DIE - played
D&D 5e (2014) - played
Heart - played
Paranoia - ran
Lancer - played
Shadowrun - played

Goal for 2026 is to run at least 2 of the many systems I own and to play even more.

This calendar was a @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social giveaway from Origins 2025, I saved it because I knew I needed something to look forward to during recovery. I’m heavily considering buying my own Advent-ure calendar for next year, since Black Oak Workshop makes 3 each year (one 31-day, 2 24-day).

10/10 would recommend a @blackoakworkshop.bsky.social dice calendar as a great pick-me-up after surgery! Nearly halfway through their 31-day Raven’s Faire calendar and loving the dice so far - I started the day of my hysterectomy and open up a new die each morning.

My local renn faire is renfestival.com/schedule/ which shouldn’t be an awful drive for y’all. I still have a couple unused 50% off admission coupons from summer reading at the library (yay Ohio).

I have the best luck at cons, renn faire, craft fairs, and pride festivals!

I’m running a game of Paranoia Perfect Edition (aka All-New Shiny Edition)! We’ll be having some Mandatory Fun.

A disorganized pile of books and craft supplies. On top of the pile is a copy of George Orwell’s 1984 and a Paranoia Gamemaster’s Screen.

Unpacked a bit last night after getting home from Origins, and when getting ready for work this morning I realized I put the Paranoia GM screen I got from @studio2publishing.bsky.social beside my copy of 1984, along with the rest of my Paranoia books.

This is fine.

Another year, another successful Origins!

Hanging out at Origins Game Fair with @thegeekpreacher.bsky.social! I’m helping him out at booth 632 and doing lots of wandering.

More from ALA Pres. Cindy Hohl: "By cutting off federal support from libraries, the Trump administration is cutting off opportunity for the American people – economically, culturally, professionally and socially."

SEND AN EMAIL: Stop Trump's E.O. Attacking Federal Funding for Libraries We need your help TODAY to tell your governors and key members of the House and Senate that federal funding for libraries - the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) - needs to be preserved!

Trump signed an Executive Order attacking Federal Funding for Libraries. Please send an email to your legislators and governors before it's too late! action.everylibrary.org/emaileo2025 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

If I started making occasional posts about some of my favorite queer books, would anyone be interested? I'm on @amlibraryassoc.bsky.social's Rainbow Book List Committee currently, which has gotten me thinking about representation in literature.

ALA response to White House assault on IMLS To dismiss the mission of an agency that advances opportunity and learning is to dismiss the aspirations and everyday needs of millions of Americans. And those who will feel that loss most keenly live in rural communities.  As seedbeds of literacy and innovation, our nation’s 125,000 public, school, academic and special libraries deserve more, not less support. Libraries translate 0.003% of the federal budget into programs and services used by more than 1.2 billion people every year. Show Up for Our Libraries, ALA American Library Association, #ForOurLibraries

President Trump's executive order to eliminate the Institute of Museum & Library Services would have disastrous effects for communities nationwide. We call on all Americans who value reading & learning to reach out to their elected leaders.

Show Up For Our Libraries! By eliminating the only federal agency dedicated to funding library services, the Trump administration's Executive Order is cutting off at the knees the most beloved and trusted of American institutions and the staff and services they offer.

🚨NEW🚨: Donald Trump is attempting to strip away federal support for libraries. We will NOT let that happen.

Last night the President signed an order to gut the Institute of Museum & Library Services. But together, we know we can show up & defeat it.
