When I was a teenager, I was going through some really hard times. My happy place was Keith's Komix. He would run #babylon5 ccg games every Thursday night. It dropped off once we all went off to college, but we have all stayed in touch through the comic shop, to the point that Keith officiated my wedding 14 years ago.

Keith's is closing next month after 30 years, and tonight we will be having a final B5 game. I am having some very real #feelings atm.

#Comic shops are one of those #beautiful safe spaces that are disappearing into the #amazon fueled #dystopia

We will #celebrate our time together tonight; I know our friendships will survive this challenge. I am #mourning it now.

This is happening all over the #world. #Men - especially, those who used to be dominant in their particular #communities - need to #accept that the rest of the #people (e.g. #women, #lgbtq ) are finally reaching some sort of #parity with them after decades-long efforts. THIS IS A #GOOD THING! #Learn to find a way to be #happy with this #equality The notion of #democracy is all about THAT. #Celebrate this #achievement instead of trying to turn the clock back.
