Holding onto hope and doing what you can to keep up your mental health is one of the most important things you can do right now. Time with family, knitting, Hermit Craft, and gaming is how I keep going. What is keeping you going?
Knitting is keeping my hands busy and my mind focused. Its a very good activity for 2025
Happy November everyone! Sorry for being so quiet recently I had a LOT going on. Working now on writing about board games and psychology, reading some of the amazing research coming out about TTRPGs in therapy and of course knitting up a storm! How is your fall going?
Please go out and vote today!
This is a really lovely video essay #minecraft youtu.be/ZLoLAyeLe-c?...
Reading a great series about a cat dad and his fur baby surviving the end of the world.
I'm looking to start a peer consultation group for folks running groups using TTRPGs as a form of therapy! We would meet once a month and this would be for people already trained and running groups. More information coming soon!
Sadly I will not be at Gamehole con this year. I will hopefully be back next year and I am quite sad that I have to miss my favorite convention.
I cannot believe it is almost October! It isn't even chilly here yet
I've gotten some new games to try! Very excited and will be posting about all of my games very soon!
First try with color work! #knitting
Taking up #knitting has been such a great way to relax and give my hands something to do while I make items for people I care about. I'm thinking of starting a community fiber arts night to help connect more with my neighbors
It should be! I managed to get it all back into one ball and started the project. More images posted soon!
So when I opened this yarn it kinda exploded out and became this... I will untangle it and turn it into a sweater! #knitting
Fall is a great time to get started with therapy! Many providers are part of something called the PsyPact, it allows for you to find the right psychologist for you no matter what state (outside of nine) you are in! #mentalhealthmatters psypact.gov/page/psypact...
For those in #Charlotte we can early vote for our primary this week! Please get out and vote!! #vote

I'm going to be running my 10 session applied GM training again this summer! Starting in mid July and going through mid August, meeting twice a week. Keep an eye out for more details, space will be limited to four participants!
Join us to protest at Senator Tillis' Raleigh office on 6/18. Tell him to vote NO on the budget reconciliation bill, especially cuts to healthcare and food assistance. Demand a budget for the people, not for billionaires. #ncpol @bullcityindivisi.bsky.social @democracyoutloud.bsky.social
I think we are starting to hit a critical point with applied gaming! I'm hearing about more and more groups and when I talk about it people say that they have at least heard of it! If you want to learn more please check out my book available wherever books are sold! wwnorton.com/books/978132...
A great article about how #boardgames can be used as a way to connect!

“I don’t want to die,” he said.
Ravi Coutinho called his insurer 21 times for mental health care. He died waiting.
Now his mother is suing Centene—evidence of an industry that promises care, but preys on the vulnerable instead. tinyurl.com/t8rnye4j #BlueSky #MedSky #PsychSky #NurseSky #PedSky
So I’ll be running a game of never stop blowing up with a pirate theme. My pirates shall be Popeye, Long John Silver (from Muppet treasure island) and Patchy the Pirate… this will be interesting
