I write articles, reviews, and the occasional D&D adventure. One of the things I wrote even won an award. Also plenty of miniature painting, dice making, and cosplay.

Strongly recommend calling your US senators today to tell them:

1. Publicly call for Sheehy to be expelled from the Senate for assaulting a protestor.

2. DO NOT vote to confirm Mullin for DHS.

Find your senators at reps.fyi

You'd think they'd at least give freaking Vecna some Legendary Actions, and maybe a few more high level spells, but apparently not.

The boss battle against Vecna as written is way too easy. So I increased the number of named liches by 200%.

Throwing in Acererak and Szass Tam made it more of a nail-biter for my players, so they felt properly challenged.

Oh yeah, finished DMing my second Vecna: Eve of Ruin campaign the other day.

Once more, I got past the book's many weaknesses as written by having an awesome group and adjusting the underwhelming encounters to actually be challenging. So I still gave my players a good campaign.

Real talk: CALL your Senators and state Senators and Representatives and the Governor.

A petition will do zero to stop this. Calling your elected officials will.

While the environmental impacts would be awful, it's worth emphasizing the significant economic impacts to the region.

Yeah, I’m curious what that’ll entail, especially for stores running AL.

Jake is cool and all, but people have to stop thinking of themselves as "less than" him. It's not healthy.

(Do people still remember Less Than Jake, or am I just old?)

Share 4 years of your art

We’re counting mini painting, yeah? I’d like to think I’ve gotten better over the years, although I was still doing a pretty good job four years ago

"Great question, Croesus! While my status as a delphic model prevents me from elaborating further, I can affirm that by going to war with Persia you *will* destroy a mighty empire. Would you like me to write this up as a set of daily affirmations, or perhaps you'd like a list of mighty empires?"

Science fiction told us the AI apocalypse would be brought about by rogue robots deciding humanity must die.

Turns out it’s caused by humans destroying the world to have the AI create shitty art, convince them to off themselves, and make military decisions.

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.

Also! Another way to help me financially without spending anything? Recommend "The Fangirl Diaries" to your local library. I do get an amazing royalty for every library that carries my book!

Call your senators. Call your house reps. 5calls can make it extra easy and you can look up β€œIran” as the keyword and find a script that will augment Celeste’s nicely.

Look, if I can call my California dem senators and leave shaky voicemails at 1 AM you can too. (Hopefully less shakily.) Love you.

Put them in a rhyming order and add a catchy beat, then you'll get them down in no time.

It's like the PokeRap, but for medication

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Anyway, both with AI and our billionaire class, we put too high a value on chaos and disorder, associating it with genius when it is the furthest thing from it.

Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!
