Just saw Twin Peaks S1 episodes 2 and 3 on the big screen at the Charles Theatre. So fucking good.
@rontowski.bsky.social incredible show! LOVED the tarot readings!
Currently: Looking for an indie publisher (I already have hundreds of 🎸 dice). Rules are complete + playtested, rulebook nearly done, full of incredible original art. This game is FUN, it's commercial, it has appeal beyond traditional TTRPGs and is a great palate cleanser game. IT ROCKS! 🤘
Career arc (campaign): Form a band. Play a bunch of shitty gigs. Rocket to superstardom. Develop multiple substance abuse disorders. Learn to despise your bandmates. Contract STDs. Break up in a blaze of egomaniacal rage. Release shitty solo albums. Reunite on PBS fundraising program.
I was so tempted to step inside, but I know better than to f with the fae. 🍄🟫
Someone else noted in the comments: today's Washington Post.
Does anyone recognize the baseball player (I think) in the photo on the newspaper? That could help date the photo (if it’s real).
I wish my cat could tell me whether or not he loves jazz, but since he can’t, I’ll just continue to believe that he does, in fact, love it. Here he is digging Brubeck.
How's this for #ttrpg grognard cred—I was listed as a dungeon master in The Dragon Magazine's International DM List for 1980! #dnd #dungeonsanddragons
Ugh, a major magic company using "Gypsy" for one of its tricks/effects. I emailed them and let them know that the word is offensive to Romany people. (And using AI art makes it so much worse ... ugh).
The Lorax Society (radical art and environmental group I started around 1990). Here I am handing out flyers and newsletters and speaking for the trees at a booth at Baltimore's Inner Harbor. I painted that Lorax sign myself 🌎🌳
I guarantee that they’ll end up throwing those blue toilet bowl tablets in the Reflecting Pool before things are over.

Excellent observation about the filthy rich as "enormous, needy babies, sucking at the world with their monstrous demands."
My upcoming 3-hour Tarot Intensive at the Baltimore County Library Towson branch on Saturday completely sold out! 32 people! It is becoming increasingly clear that the thirst for learning this art is growing. Reading tarot for someone is the anti-AI experience—real, deep, rich human connection.
Very excited for another Tarot Boot Camp class today at the lovely Creative Alliance theater in Baltimore. I teach a variety of classes but this is my O.G. flagship course and still my favorite 🎴.
CONFIRMED: The Be Sharps have formally withdrawn from President Trump's America 250 Concert.
