It's ironic that @GamersHaunt reopened during Foundations weekend bc this LGS is such a huge foundation for the local Magic community.
Helene did some damage, but the shop is back and better than ever. Thank you all who helped make this happen. Our community appreciates you 💗
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
Reporting in from Asheville: these people don’t have running, drinkable water. They likely still have trees down in their yards or on their business. They are experiencing legit post-Helene hardships and yet they are knocking on doors today to help elect Kamala Harris. 💪
I have cried a dozen times trying to post this video, deleting it, and trying again.
This is the park where my kids played.
The restaurant where I fell in love.
An art studio of a dear friend.
It’s a video of Asheville to you, but it’s home to me.
Please don’t forget us.
Family, there's a lot of work to do in the communities devastated by Hurricane Helene. To that end, we offer th is tee. All proceeds benefit relief efforts here in central Appalachia, plus DeepNerd Media AND Tee Public will match a portion of those funds. https://t.co/wp3Jci6AeB
During the first couple weeks of Hurricane Helene recovery, my wife started a “good” list of places to support in #Asheville and WNC. Thank you @RockysHotChickn for all y’all did. Y’all got our support ❤️

At 1 a.m. Thursday, 𝙏&𝙆 𝙐𝙩𝙞𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙨 connected North Fork's 36-inch bypass line to the water system. This is a big milestone - but more work before customers will start receiving water. We are grateful to have this first step completed!
Check out this photo from the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge Parkway near Black Balsam, sent to me by Team Dominator Appalachia @babowling12. Winds likely gusted over 130 mph up here, enhanced by gaps in the terrain and Bernoulli effect over the crests. Trees shredded
Wife, cats, and I are okay. Lots of trees down, house is relatively unscathed compared to others in my neighborhood. Power maybe today or tomorrow. We have water and my workplace has been taking good care of us. Pics once I have better reception.
