Last night my 5yo daughter watched Dragon Ball's first ever beam battle (Goku vs Jackie Chun), and as their kamehamehas exploded against each other she ran to my lap worried about what might happen.
Kiddo, just you wait.
(Early low-stakes Dragon Ball is my favorite Dragon Ball, though.)

This was a pretty good anime season. New highlights for me were:
- Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia
- Draw This, Then Die
- Smoking Behind the Supermarket With You
All very different shows whose episodes I looked forward to for different reasons.

I just read my kids the Freedom chapter of Wayside School is Failing Down--the one where Myron is given the choice to either be Free or to be Safe.
That chapter stuck with me as a kid. When I later created a pantheon for my D&D setting, it heavily influenced the strongest of my evil deities.

This guy is incredibly cool in general, and I feel like this video sets a great example for how to shut down assholes without falling into defensive patterns that might cause harm to other people.
I don't click on videos but I'll make an exception for him and his wife and I've never regretted it.

I was taking a bus trip back in 2003, and one of the other passengers was staring at me. Eventually they asked, "hey, you're not going to blow up the bus, right?"
Post-9/11 was an uncomfortable time to be ambiguously brown.

My kids were playing Made You Look.
"Look at that!"
The other looks.
"Haha, you fell for it!"
They weren't tricking each other. Not really. They were taking turns.
Still, I told them that it wasn't a good game. You want people to trust what you're saying! Don't laugh at people for believing you!

FF5 a downgrade from FF4 in several ways imo but, man, the unique battle sprites for every job for each character is so cool. I like seeing how each character's style and personality is reflected in each class.
I don't recall many other games doing that again until Octopath Traveler.

I recently finished the original Final Fantasy for the first time.
I appreciated how very influenced by D&D it is. Kinda.
As a DM, though, it hurt to go through the later part of the game tearing through legendary D&D monsters like paper. My darlings posed no threat to me at all.

Laura has been spending a bunch of time creating stained glass imagery of my homebrew D&D pantheon.
Imagine creating something and then someone else likes it enough to make at about it. It's the most gratifying thing.

Or alternately, you make up someone that everyone falls in love with.
Sometimes that was supposed to be the villain, and now you need a new villain because you can't bring yourself to make the party kill their new husband/waifu.

I think about this a lot. It can be hard to remember sometimes but once you’re in the habit it becomes automatic. You could spend your whole life complaining about little things other people do but it’s way more fun to compliment people
randomly giving out genuine compliments is such an easy way to make the world a little nicer, i'm always surprised more people haven't figured that out and have a ton of respect for those who have

Sideways Stories from Wayside School and its sequels.
It was the first book I remember feeling compelled to read aloud to others in the hopes that they enjoyed it as much as I did.
They did not, but I appreciate them for listening nonetheless.

In honor of Dolly and her commitment to getting books to kids, tell me about a book you read as a child that changed your life.
I’ll start: so many, but tonight maybe I’ll say A WRINKLE IN TIME, a book that taught me anger wasn’t wrong.
