I love today’s issue of Publish Not Perish in which Jenn McClearen draws a connection between Joli Jensen’s idea of communal writing and rejecting the narcissistic individualism of the academy.

I just played D&D for the first time in 3+ years and it was so great I almost cried.

🎮 Things from today’s Nintendo Direct that feel like gifts they’re making for me, specifically:

  • Theatrhythm Final Bar Line
  • Harvestella demo today
  • Tales of Symphonia remastered (I never finished the original on GameCube but I loved what of it I played)

I rarely watch actual play TTRPG shows because Life Circumstances have made a 3-hr viewing a real challenge. I backed DesiQuest at the Town Folk level anyway because an all-Desi liveplay sounds amazing.

Day 3 of a garbage migraine. Hate it. Rarely get them this bad anymore.

📺 Will I need to watch The Book of Boba Fett to follow what’s happening in the next season of The Mandalorian?

📺 Excuse me, I am watching The Rings of Power and Disa is my new fave, thought you should know. (And that’s a big deal because Galadriel, Nori, and Bronwyn are all great, too.)

📺 Watched The Sandman. It’s so great. I don’t think a better adaptation would be possible. I missed the black speech bubbles but I know those couldn’t really be done in this medium.

Dark academia is too emotionally bleak an aesthetic for me right now, but I enjoy the ability to admire pretty pictures and have a list of new hobbies & media to try, so I’m playing with adventurecore right now.

We took a little walk on the trail behind our house this morning. Here are some pictures of what we saw: misty trees, a red leaf, an acorn cap, a yellow leaf bigger than M’s foot, and an earthworm.
