Good News Friday, Wizards of the Coast
About once a week, I get the urge to hear some good news and that time is upon us once again. So tell me, what's your good news for the week? Honestly, I've had an extremely boring week. Not bad, just uneventful. So I'm just going to say watching how the DnD community ha reacted to the greed and underhandedness of WotC over their OGL tampering has brought me a lot of joy this week.
Good News Friday
Oh ho, would you look at that. It's Friday again. Weird how that keeps happening, eh? I guess that means you gotta share some good news. Sorry, I don't make the rules. My good news for the week is that I went out last Saturday night with a handful of other trans people to a local gay bar and had a wonderful tim
Art, Battletech
I've been painting this Mech for a little while now, but I am finally done with it. I was nervous how the battle damage and weathering was going to turn out (it was my first time attempting it) and I'm happy to say that I'm not disappointed. Probably my best painted model to date. Guess that's what I get for trying new things.
Musings
It's weird that I'm considered any kind of community leader. I don't know what I'm doing the vast majority of the time, yet people look up to and turn to me for guidance.
It's nice to feel important, but I would like the importance to be earned, you know? I'm just someone who shows up. That hardly seems like it would grant me any kind of authority, yet here I am.

Good News Friday
And just like that, we're at the first Friday of a new year. What does the future hold? I don't know. If I did, I would probably buy stocks. Or maybe not. I guess it really depends on what was happening that year.
ANYWAYS
What's y'all's good news for the week? I'm asking the question, so it's only fair that I go first. I've been feeling pretty good this, for no real reason, so I'm going to say that's the best thing. Not exciting, I know, but it is the truth.

Can you believe it? You have, despite the very best efforts of the world, made it to the last Friday of the year. Give yourselves a pat on the back because that is one incredible accomplishment. With a whole year behind us, let's up the ante a bit. What's the best news you've had ALL YEAR?
You may do just the past week if the past year is too much.
For me, it's been my work with Polestar. I've been on the verge of giving up on it since the pandemic hit for various reasons, but I've stuck with it and this year in particular has reinvigorated my passion for the organization. I've got a great board and the support groups have been the best we've ever had. I'm really looking forward to what we can do next year.

So how's everyone enjoying that winter weather this fine Friday morning? Yeah, me neither. But let's focus on what's important and share some good news before we go shovel ourselves out. I've had a pretty good week, but I think the best thing this week is that I commissioned Taryn Maslowski to draw a kick ass Hawlucha and they totally delivered! You better believe that's going up on my wall.
