Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book to review. I wanted to love this book so much. I’ve been fascinated by the concept of Young Centurions and I’m always collecting books and games to use in education or parenting. Fate! Pulp, which is not really my thing but very close to steampunk and… Read More Review: Sally Slick and the Steel Syndicate
Whoa, that daily blogging schedule I had kind of went poof, huh? It’s not that I haven’t been writing much. I have, most days. It’s just that a lot of it hasn’t been on the blog. And I do prioritize the reading schedule because getting into that habit has been a lot harder for me,… Read More Week(s) In Review
Fate! How long has it been since I wrote about the Fate roleplaying system? Too long! But I am about to remedy that with this game that uses Fate Accelerated rules (or ones very similar). First thing’s first, let’s get the disclaimers out of the way. I received a free copy of this book (as… Read More RPG Review – Young Centurions
Psst. You know that video I’ve mentioned a few times that’s always TOTALLY COMING NEXT WEEK and is probably about Persephone? Well, this time I’m pretty sure it will actually be this week but will almost definitely not be about Persephone. I keep trying and I just can’t make that one work. There are things… Read More Communication, Compliance, and Cats
It’s Autism Acceptance Month and I’d love to be talking about a real-world-setting comic featuring an autistic protagonist’s experiences written by an autistic person, but I don’t know of any. Realizing that has kind of made me want to write one, but that’s a topic for another day. Today we have Cece Bell’s El Deafo,… Read More Review: El Deafo
I mentioned several entries ago that my local comic store had a Black History Month table. One of the graphic novels on it was The Silence of Our Friends by Mark Long, Jim Demonakos, and Nate Powell. The blurb says it’s about a black family and a white one finding common ground in the civil… Read More Review: The Silence of Our Friends
How can a theme song for an old TV show I don’t even like make me all teary-eyed and nostalgic? This reboot thing has gotten out of control. Spoilers ahead. I can’t help but feel like this one shouldn’t have worked. I mean, did anyone over the age of 10 actually like Full House? I… Read More Review: Fuller House
(In case I don’t make it clear enough in the post, this message is for white people. Specifically, about our responsibility for racism even if we’re against it and needing to face that if we’re ever going to move on.) Like a lot of people I know, I’m not great at seeing racism. That’s partly… Read More Our Place in the Story
Like I said a few times, I planned this as a ministry blog. One where I use my own name (a first for me!) and that I link from my social network pages. And we live in a time when it’s known that employers check Facebook and your professional appearance therefore has to carry over… Read More Blog Worries (And Letting Go of Them)
There’s this weird thing I do with works that are new to me, that aren’t deeply rooted in my past and identity: I suddenly become a big believer in the idea of infallibility. That is, if it’s true then it will all be true, and therefore if I find something I can’t accept I become… Read More Why I Need Fallible Scriptures
