beyond the blog

Old posts from mailing lists, usenet, and my website before I started using scripts and backend software to manage the content and eventually realized I was blogging, plus posts from any time that I’ve transferred here from other services (Instagram, Facebook, etc.).

The latest addition to the game library: Unstable Unicorns, with the Kickstarter exclusive cards and Rainbow Sprinkles, NSFW, and Dragons expansion packs (plus the Apocalypse pack eventually once it’s reprinted, due to some shipping and inventory issues).

Since I work from home and I’m not currently a student, participating in #NationalWalkoutDay may seem to be fairly symbolic. But as an uncle to seven niblings, as a husband of a college instructor, and as a friend to many people with children, it doesn’t seem symbolic to me at all. I may be alone, outside of my apartment, but I stand here in unity with all the students and teachers who are participating in today’s walkout, and also because of my belief that all those who are not walking out, whether that’s because they have been threatened with penalties for doing so, or even if they don’t believe this is a useful or necessary protest, should be safe as well. I believe this protest is a good thing, I’m saddened that it’s a necessary thing, I believe that guns do not belong in schools, and I very strongly believe that our country needs to do far more in the way of sensible #guncontrol before more people are hurt or killed.
