Really enjoyed playing Epigraph with @huetwo.art on stream last night. Language puzzles are some of my very favourite kinds of games, and this one is great. I figured out one of the puzzles on a whiteboard this afternoon and can't wait to get back to it and see how it moves us forward. 👀

1. Translating writing is not just about the words used, but about localization and interpreting intent, cultural context, idiomatic expressions, etc. 2. Empower creators to create comics. 3. Pay human interpreters. 4. Fuck AI.

I am so far behind on my reading goals this year. Definitely will not be getting close to last year. But I just added a bunch of spooky liminal horror to my TBR list that I am very excited about, so things are looking up. 👀

Tonight I finished a short sci-fi campaign with four of the best TTRPG players I've had the pleasure of telling stories with. We each played two characters, alternating between a planet and a space station facing the same crisis. It was extremely cool and I am lucky to have such talented friends. 💜

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

This headline was certainly a fucking choice. Resurfacing on social media in the midst of all of this probably isn't the 2026 vibe I should be manifesting, but it's the one I've got.

A screenshot from the official Reuters account shows a photo of Nicolas Maduro speaking to military, accompanied by the headline, "Nicolas Maduro's heavy-handed rule in Venezuela is finally ended by Trump"

Fan Expo day 4! So much great cosplay today. My fave has been Helly R, and I swear it's not just because she gave me a perk. 🤭 Other highlights have been all the E33 Baguette crews, the indie game rep with In Stars and Time, and all the Apothecary Diaries. 💜 #FanExpoToronto #FanExpoCanada #FanExpo

I sent a complaint to FanExpo Canada, and would encourage other creators to not attend their shows until FanExpo decides to be smart and actually keep all genAI garbage out of their shows, god fucking damn whatever Bell Canada or whatever says. It's the enemy - why would we want it there?

Day 2 of #FanExpoCanada. Very taken with these "lil guys in jars" that I bought from Earth Token (earth_token on IG). LOOK at them.

Two small jars with clay creatures inside. One is a little orange flame with beady black eyes. The other is a dark blue octopus with turquoise eyes.

We are ready!! @huetwo.art genuinely has so much different art that we struggled to get it all on display. @nekoama.bsky.social has all kinds of Sharkpups and stickers and prints and POST-ITS. And I have like... a dozen dice bags shoved in the corner. Woo, me. 🤣 Let's do this, #FanExpo.

Documenting @nekoama.bsky.social bringing the Sharkpups to life for SCIENCE. But mostly because look at them, they're perfect. Anyway, we're here at #FanExpo at booth AP22 (near the pizza) and while I have nothing to do with the Sharkpups except transportation and fawning, I need you to buy them.

Well. I can't say I'm bringing much to Fan Expo except my personality and a small handful of bags. But!! I will talk up my wife's art!! Which is really what I'm there for anyway. Expedition 33! Dandadan! Frieren! Arcane! Dungeon Meshi! Dragon Age! Mass Effect! Such art. Come say hi. :>

Unexpectedly have a day off to get some good sewing done for Fan Expo and of course this is how I discover that I, in fact, have no particularly good lining fabric for any of these dice bags.

Tonight I made a photomoji of Buff Kirby just to see if I could and it is the single greatest thing* I've ever made. I will now be reacting to all texts with this for the foreseeable future. *Slight exaggeration. I have two children. They are probably superior to Buff Kirby Photomoji.

Oh hey, my wife is doing a stream! Come watch her clean up a Frieren piece! You can't see or hear me, but I'm secretly in the same room, merrily cutting out fabric and laminating bookmarks, like you do. Sapphic craft night. It's a thing.

Sewing prep for Fan Expo begins anew. Tonight: cutting out zip pouch pieces from such delightful fabrics as these chaotic possums and super happy sushi. Tragically, I don't have enough of these to also make dice bags from them.

This itch.io NSFW policy change is unfortunately nothing new, the problem isn't the platforms themselves but rather Visa/MC strong-arming these services into revising their NSFW policies. So if you're eligible I invite you to sign this ACLU petition: action.aclu.org/petition/mas...

Mastercard: Sex Work is Work. End Your Unjust Policy.

Mastercard's new policy unfairly targets the adult content industry, making sex workers more vulnerable, especially Black trans women. It must be stopped.

Imagine looking over from the couch to see your wife in her desk chair intensely snuggling her cat Billy. She has a headset on, and there's a Spotify playlist up on her monitor. You squint to see what it's called and --

Spotify playlist called "for snuggling billy while high"

I've been creating little lore/world building prompts for my players to add character and culture to our next #ttrpg world using @storyenginedeck.bsky.social cards. I'm kind of obsessed. First prompt that was responded to was "write the innkeeper's schedule (involving duress)". Solid gold.

When lesbians discuss #Arcane and what could have been:

A screenshot of a text conversation. The exchange starts with an image of Caitlyn from Arcane wearing an outfit that does not appear in the show. She wears tight black pants with a vertical purple and gold stripe on the outside of the leg, paired with a short jacket with gold and white embellishments that emulate the look of Piltover architecture. A white cape flows behind her to the left. She holds a large opalescent sniper rifle over one shoulder, the barrel going behind her head.

Below the image, this exchange follows:

Sender: "This is the Caitlyn design I was hoping we'd get to see in ep 7"

OP: "Ma'am" (in all caps)

Sender: "Right" (in all caps)
