I’m in Pittsburgh. Someone asked me sports question and I panicked and now I’m dead.

Walking through Highland Park towards the Lodge Room to see Geordie Greep play and I was knocked off the sidewalk by a girl running past in a GIR shirt. Would’ve been perfect if that was how I died.

Thanks to everyone who came to see us play D&D last night! I hope you enjoyed my dumb monsters. And thanks to Terri at The Horror Community Foundation and everyone at Geeky Teas for putting the whole thing together! We’ll have the recording up at our site in a couple of weeks at OneManMurderMaze.com

A picture of my Gristagobbs, a bunch of really dumb monsters with names like Manny the Gobb Pawn, Shakey Jake, Terry Gilliam, The New Guy, Mister Skullz, The Foreman, Canlebic, Donnie, Stabbso, and Lil Crimes.

DID YOU KNOW: Our new stop-motion star Sunny Von Shock is already in three dang books? You can get them all if you yell at your favorite bookseller loud enough! (Or just whisper gently, your call.)

Stop-motion puppet Sunny Von Shock is startled to realize she's in three books. She yells "WHAT?? I'M IN THREE BOOKS ALREADY?" The covers of IT'S NOT SCARY!, SHOCK CITY, and SHOCK CITY PUNKS float beside her.

Tavisha got me this amazing Gandalf doll for my birthday and now he hangs out his new buddies.

Three big figures on a shelf: a statue of Caduceus Clay from Critical Role, a doll of Gandalf the Grey, and a statue of Guin (the Leopard Mask) from Guin Saga.

One of the cool things about the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is that the Adventure Section is basically a whole lot of paintings of guys punching Nazis.

The red panda I’m following on Fahlo travels between 4 and 7 miles a day up down a mountainside and I am exhausted for him. I hope he stops and just takes it all in and enjoys himself.

JKR is alive and very rich and hating trans people is her whole deal so you can just not f with her or her work. So much art in the world that isn’t being made by someone who is trying to erase my children.

I just checked Threads, since I haven’t been there in a while and saw that people were yelling “fake” at a guy who posted a clip from a documentary showing a CGI fight between a mastodon and a terror bird (titanus), and now I’m really tired.

Hi! Tavisha had a hospital stay two weeks ago and now she has to do a number of $$ tests—so I made a bunch of new autograph prints! You can get them at etsy.com/shop/RikkiSi.... If prints aren’t your thing and you’d still like to help, we have a PayPal link here: www.tavicat.com/donate. Thanks!

7 new colorful prints (by me) that I can autograph (for you): GIR popping from a cake, cowboy GIR, Link GIR, GIR and Zim in a garbage bin, GIR hanging out with Pikmin, GIR stuck to a pizza, and GIR in a toilet singing with a ukulele while Mini Moose pops out of his head.

My Muttyn Troll character, Tim riding a bicycle out of a scary dungeon with his dog Stabigail.
