Think about all the times someone gave you a compliment for what you do or who you are. Put ALL the compliments you can remember in a 'box' and regift them to yourself. How does it feel hearing about the compliments and appreciation you've been given from others?

Random morning thoughts about JJBA as a TTRPG. Though inspired by Brindlewood Bay's theorize move, I wouldnt use PbtA. I love it, but it doesnt fit. At the core would be 'The Roundabout' (like the anime ending song, get it?), a scene-choosing rondel...

🎉IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY!🎉 We're 5 years old! According to some child development specialists we should be "enjoying complex pretend play, filled with fantasy and drama" and "negotiating what to play with other children." Sounds about right! Say "Happy Birthday" to us or I'll cry.

What are children doing at 5-6 years?
Playing and interacting with others
Even as children get older and start school, play is important. It’s still how children learn and build social, emotional and thinking skills.

Your child:
- Enjoys complex pretend play, filled with fantasy and drama
- Plays with others to achieve a common goal like building a big sandcastle
- Negotiates what to play with other children
- Is becoming more social and prefers to play with friends rather than on their own
- Can share, although they might find it hard to share favourite toys and other things
- Understands why rules are important, but might find games with rules challenging might even accuse other people of cheating sometimes.

When I was training in martial arts I had an instructor give me a smooth JKD lesson: "Master the basics. Then, take what you need, and leave behind everything that doesn't serve you, until you're left with what is uniquely your own art." Cuz I've been there before I see when others get stuck.

I've seen some videos & pictures of the "new" Intersection Room at #PAXWest. It is not even set up to be able to be navigated by mobility devices. They kept some past signs about intersectionality despite displacing Black, Brown, & Disabled folks. It's not intersectionality if it's not accessible

Experiencing this weird 4e deja vu with pf2e. A community who loves it and just plays it, welcoming folks in, and a community waiting outside of it who makes it their personality to hate and come up with the most reductive, 'no ttrpg is good by the metrics you just pulled out of your butt' takes.

If your marketing is any form of ‘if you don’t give us money we will die’ you’re trying to be a charity. Find out why ppl aren’t paying for your content then fix it or find new income for said content (advertising) More BIPoC on staff getting paid always makes me want to give money, just saying

It is Juneteenth. I feel it is pretty important to remind everyone that the Juneteenth flag colors are Red, White and Blue ON PURPOSE. The corporate marketing that uses only African Freedom and Pan-African Liberation colors feels like erasure. So let's talk about Black African diaspora flags 🧵1/8

A graphic about the Juneteenth flag
The colors: The colors of the American flag – red white and blue
This is to say that the people freed in Texas were American citizens
The 5-point star is a symbol for Texas (the Lone Star State) where the Juneteenth holiday started and to represent the spread of freedom to all 50 states.
The star burst represents a nova as a symbol of a new beginning.
The date June 19th, 1865 is also printed on the flag

A young brother at a table I DMd for just dapped me up saying I ran his first D&D session and that he had such good time he wanted to bring more D&D into his life going forward 🥹it's the lowkey powerful moments that keep me coming back
