Labour is functionally the Democratic party of the UK. When you seen an American trans person getting mad at Democrats over trans issues, this is what we are trying to prevent.

Labour officials consulted for American Democrats last election.

Nothing— and I mean nothing— about this decision is more than the bare desire to harm.

Jess, a white woman with red hair, stands in her (messy) kitchen, wrapped up in Saran Wrap and duct tape to make an armor pattern.

Going into con crunch so I can be Suvi’s hot war criminal mom at DragonCon. (Pray 4 me @aabria.bsky.social , I have 21 days)

This was SUCH a fun game to play. Many thanks to @illegallyelliot.bsky.social for being a great first guest GM!

Jess’s GenCon haul is arranged on a wooden coffee table sitting on a red rug. The games on the table are the Delta Green Agent and Handler Handbooks, Sleepaway by Jay Dragon, Improv for Gamers by Karen Twelves, Inevitable by Zachary Cox, Naishi, Message in a Bottle, Alice is Missing, Good Soup by Jordan Dube, Spellbook by Conlin Durbin, Washed Ashore by Johannes Krenner, and Beneath Hallowed Halls by Ali Mark & Nell Quinn-Gibney.

GenCon was very good to me in the “new stuff to play” department. Has anyone else played these/have any similar recs?

Stop asking chat GPT things.

Until next time, GenCon!

1. Meeting some of the best AP podcasters around
2. The stack of new indie games we’re about to make all of our friends play with us when we get home…

MONDAY!
A Super Team-Up on your feed!

As long as the lightning lets me leave Atlanta 🥲

I WANT TO HAND OUT STICKERS, COME FIND ME #GENCON

Oh showing up to sold outs is a solid tip, thank you!

Okay ttrpg folks, please send me your tips for baby's first #GenCon. (I'm gonna be honest I got overwhelmed and could NOT figure out how to find and sign up for any sessions, but I'd love to play something PBTA!)

HELL YEAH mark your calendars for Quinn's absurdist masterpiece!

Productively tormenting myself on the job today by watching @pagemelt.bsky.social 's essay on Work (you should watch it too)

✨It's a beautiful day to continue not shopping at Amazon✨

Child-Jess would be delighted at how hard it is to fully organize Adult-Jess's cosplay and TTRPG supplies. Adult-Jess needs a team of professionals to tell her where the hell to put everything.

In 2021, Juneteenth became America’s newest federal holiday. This was thanks in part to the work of Opal Lee, a retired schoolteacher who in 2016 walked from Fort Worth to Washington to raise awareness about the need to commemorate the day

The Butlerian Jihad needs you

I am so ready for this campaign to start.

Looking for a desk mat on Etsy that isn’t an AI mashup of stolen art seems to be a fruitless endeavor. Any recommendations for cool artists who sell desk mats?

Unfortunately cannot stop making new games I don’t have a set time to run. It always happens in 3s. Send help (or players).

(I can’t stop this is too fun)

My joke about the Phlegethon is straight fire

I have a joke about Midas that’s pure gold

Thought I had a joke about Tantalus, but it’s more of a thirst trap.

Started a “Best Summer Ever” challenge with some friends, and it’s so overwhelmingly joyful. I’ve got people texting me photos dancing under the full moon, catching their first firefly, making things with their hands for the first time in a long time. Can’t recommend it enough.
