I typically try to keep my threads here around 10 tweets or less. I put most of my long form content to my newsletter. But ima leave this a (lengthy) thread because I think it’s important. I wanna talk about how bein Black helped me understand antisemitism in Christianity. 1/23

I have to say, celebrating my birthday in a castle last year was hard to beat. This year, though, my daughter is my DM, so that’s a win. #wotcstaff

I addition to playing ttrpg’s I work in the corrections field. Specifically juvenile justice and have for nearly 30 years. It isn’t too often I get to hear about my worlds colliding. Here may be a topic worth sharing @SlyFlourish #dnd themarshallproject.org/2023/…
