a group of people are dancing in front of a sign that says what 'd miss Alt: Daveed Diggs playing Thomas Jefferson in Hamilton dancing in front of words reading "What'd I miss?"

Trying to catch up on five million burning fires that took place while out on medical leave. There's not enough coffee, and I'm extremely grateful for how great my colleagues are with what they had to handle.

But standing here among the people of Punxsutawney and basking in the warmth of their hearths and hearts, I couldn't imagine a better fate than a long and lustrous winter.

When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life.

Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

a woman stands in front of a bed that says 1:24 am on the bottom Alt: a woman stands in front of a bed creepily

With how much I need to (carefully, painfully) get up in the middle of the night and stand next to bed, it feels like a really crappy Paranormal Activity sequel. #cancer

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Exactly. I've met a few Mongol personas at Pennsic that would have a lot to say about this.

Getting to see a live action Novac was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of New Vegas in future episodes.

Ice-T's experience with the best #Fallout still cracks me up fifteen years later.

A TNG scene. We're in the Enterprise conference room, where Picard is holding a meeting with Data, Troi, and Dr Crusher. Barclay is also there, for unknown reasons. Maybe he wandered into the meeting and just sat down, and everyone was too polite to mention it. That happened to me once. I was visiting an office location I didn't normally go to and I wasn't quite sure which conference room I was supposed to be in. I walked into one and sat down and it took me five minutes to realize I was in the wrong meeting. From the perspective of the people in that room, halfway through that meeting, a stranger walked in, sat next to the boss, took notes for five minutes, then walked out without saying a word.

At its heart, Star Trek is a utopian fantasy about a society so advanced that they are capable of holding productive meetings that last no longer than three minutes

At this point I've played #Hades2 more than twice as much as the original. Highly recommended. Death to Chronos!
