“Casting” actors as the NPCs in your home TTRPG games is severely underrated.

Players falling for an antagonist’s tricks because they love the actor playing them? Delicious.

Plus: the great shorthand that comes from filling out a character with the assumptions your table has of a performer.

You just unlocked a deep, long-hidden memory. Good god that worm is burned into my psyche and I didn’t even realize where it was from.

Moments are so fleeting.

Whatever you can do to make the people in your life know you love them, do it.

And despite how hard it is, when people tell you they matter to you—try to believe them.

My aunt was similar, and passed away late last year. Her’s was cancer, though. And she ended up having three years to really see what she meant to people. The woman we remembered today was taken without warning. Without a chance to really see what she meant.

But she was also human, with the quirks and foibles that come with it. I think she was like me in that way, treating those parts as more than the good.

She was a woman who was always kind, generous, hardworking, and self-sacrificing. She went the extra mile for everything and expected nothing in return.

She didn’t want people making a fuss over her. Not even for a funeral. She wasn’t someone who accepted love easily, or saw herself as deserving of appreciation.

But she was. Of course she was.

Last week, a dear family friend who was like a second mother to me and my sister passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. She didn’t want a service, so we said our goodbyes today in a more casual setting.

But the thing sticking with me is why she didn’t want a service.

For real. At first I thought it was just someone mixing up the places, since that happens all the time, but after I told him it was the wrong place he tripled down and ended up slamming into my door and banging my window HARD until it woke the neighbours up, too. Scary as hell. 😱

What does it say about me that I don’t wanna wake anyone else up? 😅 I think it’s okay now anyways, he ran off and the banging woke up my neighbours (townhomes) so I think that spooked him off.

I became Senior VP at a multi-million dollar company at age 26. My salary was $600k. This was in 2018.
How did I do it?

Blacked out lines

CEO (my dad) promoted me to SVP.
There are no gimmicks. There are no shortcuts.

This is blackout poetry to me

Of my four best friends, one I met at 13, and one at 15. They’ve made an incredible impact on my life, even if our relationships have shifted with the ways we’ve changed over the years. ❤️

Edmonton TTRPG locals, this one is for you! I’ve played in Shannon’s games and can absolutely attest to her being a fantastic GM. You’ll have an amazing experience playing at this table. 🔥

An opinion I pretty firmly hold is that everyone should make a song, paint a painting, act in something, and write a book even if all of those things end up being objectively terrible

the idea that making art is embarrassing if you don't do it well enough to make a career out of it is an objectively harmful and toxic brainworm.
