Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5,000 years.

Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? 

The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances.

Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW.

Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

We don't make videos, we don't podcast, we just let the writers write. We're trying to prove that there's still an audience for written work about a thing we all love and word of mouth helped us sell nearly a thousand issues last time. It would rule to get over that line this time around.

This is a deeply personal issue for me. I'm asking, please donate to your local food bank. Food security is a complex problem. It was very large. Now the Republicans have made it absolutely colossal. Please help, now and throughout the year.

Server with no life behind its eyes: Welcome to Chipotle, would you like to try our Magic The Gathering special? It comes with black bean lotus, the five tex-mexes, thyme-twister, and ancestral recalled spinach. Me: What about— Server: Time guac is extra.

We decided to run it back! Two Buckeye Brawls in one year. Over $8K for the food bank. Community magic is something special. Can’t wait till the next one. #mtg #premodern #mtgpremodern
Buckeye Brawl II raised $5,117.87 for the Mid Ohio Food Collective

Imagine if Redwall had become the cultural juggernaut instead of the mold bigot. Redwall adults in their mouse ears preparing delicious banquets, their children in smaller mouse ears producing very strange dishes to contribute.

A Magic card is a piece of art. A Magic card is a testament to creative ingenuity. A Magic card is a memory. A Magic card is expensive. A Magic card is free. A Magic card is the best thing you've ever seen (a Scaled Wurm) A Magic card is the worst thing you've ever seen (a Scaled Wurm)

I’m bad at Bluesky. Played in the BCDL Premodern event on Sunday. Golden Replenish 5-1 for Top 8 & a swift exit to Burn. Had to play several homies in the Swiss which was a bummer.

Played at PEACE, a premodern charity event, in Michigan this past weekend. Lost last round to miss a small shot for Top 8 and missed top 16. Had a blast! Met and caught up with some many great folks. All events need an art table. Community Magic is great

The Onslaught block has a special place in my heart since it's when I started playing magic. The reveal of the Nivea card feels like the perfect excuse to make an Akroma token. #pixelart #mtg

I know people are tired and overworked, but I feel like oftentimes they’re offloading a creative (and, on some level, rewarding) activity to free up time that they’ll ultimately spend scrolling on their phones—thereby further reducing their brains to mush. it’s a vicious cycle of meaninglessness

We give out alters at our monthly Premodern events to top finishes. For Dec we gave out winter themed alters to everyone who played. We also run charity events and give out stamped cards. Lots of Rats. The pups and Factories are two fav sets I made

This is the grand prize for the PEACE tournament in Berkley, MI. I altered this entire deck and all proceeds from the event benefit Forgotten Harvest (supplying food for people in need). There will also be free food, an art table, raffles, and alters from many many artists in the community!

Nicola Beeson is trying to track down the original art for her cards so she can do scans (and I'm assuming then sell copies etc, which makes sense). I hope she eventually finds what she's looking for.
I'm just putting this out here. If anyone happens to own a piece of my original art for Magic: Tabernacle, Green Scarab, Karplusan Forest, or others. If you could email me so that I can get a high resolution scan of my art, that would be fantastic.

I will not share any information on who, or where, these live. You can email me, so that it's also off Meta.

bynicola@mac.com

Contact, alter orders and original art to let me scan.

Thanks so much,
Nicola
