Fever dreams

Down with the sickness this weekend, updating websites I haven't touched in far too long. I blame Rachel and Miles, who have haunted me all weekend. I even missed the poetry slam, on account of being Patient Zero for the next great epidemic. Despite all my sleeping, I made a thing. This isn't it, but it turns out pens bleed if you use them on napkins, and sometimes they make cool shapes. Writing feels good. Making things feels better. I'd rather do that than almost anything. Except Skyrim.

So…I Stopped Eating Meat

This was my first week as a vegetarian. The moral argument finally got to me, but I'll get to that in this week's Concept Crucible, where we do the actual philosophy. For me it's been mostly adjusting the way I eat food, beans instead of bacon in the chili, new ideas for breakfasts and lunches. The physical adjustment hasn't been that hard, but the social adjustment is weird. I'm sort of embarrassed about it, from a vague worry that my meat-eating friends will question my validity, whatever that means, and my vegetarian friends will think I'm stupid for taking this long to…

Stormtroopers posed with kids, and the Predator waved at passing cars. It was truly magical.

Greetings from Camp Ithaqua

Weekly Update / Woot Suit Riot

Ia Ia Ithaqua

We're at Camp Ithaqua this weekend, named for the Elder God of the frozen north. Basically we rented a cottage and played boardgames and rpgs all weekend. Good times are had by all. It's been neat to share space and get to know people, but I am literally leaving in a few minutes. Done all sorts of talking about everything from the symbolic world to why good people are interesting because they create good stories, as well. Also, we've got a few videos up on the channel from the camp. Being grownups is rad. That's really what it comes down…

Weekly Update / Woot Suit Riot

VEDA

That’s Vlogging Every Day in April. If you follow the Riot channel, you may have noticed a lot more updates than our usual vlogs, videogames, and podcasts. That’s because it’s VEDA, and although VEDA has been abandoned by my genius crush Hank Green, likely because he’s on tour all month, I’m still vlogging every day in April. Sometimes it’s short, sometimes it’s videogames, sometimes it’s music, but it’s always something. I’ve been doing it for the past two years, and it never fails to remind me of a few things that I want to share.
