While on the set of Dirk Gently, did Michael Eklund and Elijah Wood ever discuss the fact that they had played almost the same character but from two very different perspectives in The Call and Maniac?

Weird little up-side of growing up with GAD: I can give kids very easy confidence boosts by telling them they’re doing things better than I could at their age. Especially riding bikes. I didn’t learn to do that until 6th grade, and even then I brought along towels to “mop up all the blood.”

Last night I had a dream I was able to magically turn myself 6 again and become a student in my own summer camp. A couple of the other 6-year-old girls and I formed a spy club and spied on the older boys.

Things I ended up explaining to kids this afternoon (all in one conversation): what it takes to get sent to juvie, what weapons cops use, North Korea’s current regime, Vladimir Putin, Alligator Alcatraz, the Holocaust.

The summer camp is at the park, some teenagers are also here. Teen girls swiped teen boy’s bike. Camp boys rally to teen boy’s side.
Camp boys @ girls: “You have a big butt!”
Teen girl: “Thank you!”

This last week at summer camp was Astronaut Week; my attempt to redeem the very first week from my very first full summer, Space Week, which fell pretty flat because I didn’t know what I was doing yet. I gotta say, this one went *way* better!

So, wild thing today: we found a great horned owl caught in a soccer net! Animal control was able to free it and it flew away. I got video of the rescue, though! Don’t know if I’m gonna post the video, but here’s a photo pre-rescue.

Just recently finished @shootimpro.bsky.social’s “Plaugeround” Actual Play, and I need more of these kids.
Roland is my favorite. I’m convinced he is the darkest of all of them. My headcanon is he murdered another kid before coming to the school and no one else knows.

For a show that has kinda flown under the radar, Van Helsing has given me multiple blorbos. Especially Julius & Phil, and Willem (who is babygirl).

Star Trek Adventures is an underrated TTRPG system. TTRPG discourse talks a lot about how the mechanics need to support the kind of story you’re telling. I have never seen that done better than Star Trek Adventures.

Kids found a stick this week that they quickly declared “Unbreakable”. I spent the whole week wanting to have a crack at it, and today one of the kids said I could. Behold my glory!!

Taught our youngest kid Hero Kids today. She was starting on the 2nd adventure, rather than the “tutorial”. That’s a hard one to play solo, and she was rolling so badly, poor thing. But I got her through it, and she was so excited that the town knew she wasn’t afraid even though she was alone.

Yesterday a 5-year-old came to aftercare in a full suit with a newsboy cap, and told us he was dressed like Tommy Shelby from Peaky Blinders.

Boy: “Miss Anna, is Heaven fun?”

Boy: “WHAT” (so confused and baffled)

Last week and half the week before our classroom’s heater was broken so we moved up to an empty space in the church.
Girl 1: (seeing a bust of Jesus) “Who’s that?!”
Me: “That’s Jesus.”
G1: “What?? But Jesus is a baby!”
Me: “He grew up.”
G1: “To be this old man?”

Today I realized one of my favorite genres of background media is funny people competing in very silly games for no real consequences.

YouTube series I’d totally watch: host who is really knowledgeable about the indie gaming scene, guests who don’t believe video games are art. The host then selects 3 or 5 games and lets the guest play them, and tries to pick games that will convince the guest games *are* art.
