Please respond by saying what sorts of TTRPG things you're pretty likely to either talk about or respond to if you see them.
This can be a list of games (D&D! Tribe 8! Fate!) or categories (the weirdest of indie stuff! NSR! Anything PBtA!), topics (Worldbuilding! Publishing!), stuff you're making, meta-commentary (The State Of The Industry), and so on.
Then maybe share, and if the replies are building up, check them for new people.
Last day of #school. The kid's biking all the way home on her own for the first time.
We've been practicing for this day for weeks. She knows the rules, knows how to handle her bike, knows to look out for drivers because they're not looking out for her.
We can do this.
If you are out on the roads this afternoon, PLEASE keep your eyes peeled for happy kids about to embark on the best summer of their lives.
These munchkins are who we’re fighting for. Consider counting for #PedalPoll2023 on Saturday, June 10, or next week (to make up for smoky skies this week).
There's a quarter-mile stretch of #greenway on our route to #school that lets us momentarily forget to worry about the multi-ton high speed metal boxes that threaten our lives every day.
A moment of bliss in an otherwise screwed up world.
We--my partner, my kid, and I--have 2 days left to decide whether said kid stays enrolled at her neighborhood elementary school or enrolls in a specialized gifted education program that offers services she very much could use in a different school.
There are pros and cons. But the thing I can't get over is that the other school--the only place in the whole district where these services are offered--is in a no walk/no bike zone. As in kids are literally banned from #walking & #biking there.
This is a big freaking deal. We have always biked to school. We paid far more than we could afford for a house that made this possible. We have arranged our work schedules and lifestyles and vehicle ownership choices around the fact that our kid can ride her bike to school. If you follow me on social media, you know that my identity is wrapped up pretty tight in the idea that kids should be able to walk or #BikeToSchool.
Tomorrow morning, we’ll be in Stittsville for the Mission to Mars family ride. Our sweet ride is ready to go (great bike to take kids to their activities, do grocery, and more).
This morning's #BikeToSchool started out a little prickly, but it's hard to stay mad when you're riding a #bicycle. And if there's any angst leftover by the time you get to school, you can hug it out at the #bike rack.
This morning we met up with 6 (SIX!) other #KidsOnBikes during our ride to school. Six smiling, happy, slightly flushed faces, all bright eyed and ready to start their day.
The activity, socialization, & independence these kids are getting is no small thing. The change in my kid's resilience & attitude since she's been riding her own bike to school has been remarkable.
When we deny kids #SafeRoutesToSchool, we deny them a huge part of their life.
This guy. Just ever-so-nonchalantly rolls the stop sign and then overtakes my kid and me in the middle of an intersection as we biked home from school.
You wouldn't do this to someone in a car. Don't do it to someone on a bike.
Three minutes of peace, joy, and me struggling to keep up with my kid on our morning ride to school (because @bikepedantic asked for it).
I love the conversations we have on the #bike in the mornings. It's never this good in a car.
These people who live along our route to school have recently built their own private pickleball court. They hold pickleball matches every evening, with their fellow pickleballers parking their fancy cars in the multimodal lane.
My kid made up a song about it on our way home one day this week.
Leaving our neighborhood this morning enroute to school, we met another biking family. They'd driven past us all year, and decided this week to try biking themselves. And they're doing it and loving it!
