Don't mind me, I just found a good excuse to repost my Majora's Mask saga with the new 10 photos feature.

I fucking hate our judge dredd ass future. I saw it in law school. Intelligent classmates wouldn't be confident in something, like client intake, so they would just ask the bot to create the list of questions and take it as an authority. Even when the questions didn't make sense. STOP IT.

Did someone say "write about the people I dont like going to hell because Inferno was the original Burn book?"

If PERSEPOLIS is your only exposure to Marjane Satrapi, I recommend doing a deep dive into her other comics. When I finished library school and was unemployed for months, that was a project I took on and it was well, well worth it. She also put out a collection in 2024, WOMEN LIFE FREEDOM.

WOTC finding new and innovative ways to be a shit company

🏳️‍🌈 Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 (I tried to do this with games but everyone wanted to put everything in the top right)

... now, as for why I asked... A friend of mine, on Discord, linked this in the group chat. ... sigh, I know, it's stereotypical of me, as a white millennial, to have strong opinions on Avatar: The Last Airbender... ... but, fuck it, let's ball.

"So you're saying I should unionize?" "Yes" "Even when the bosses tell us it won't work?" "ESPECIALLY when they tell you it won't work."

Members of @uwotc-official.bsky.social described a May 28 meeting with Wizards of the Coast management as an all but forced hour of anti-union propaganda. It's the latest in a mounting campaign that workers told Rascal includes constant emails, letters, and forced training for Arena supervisors.

ANNOUNCEMENT: The workers of Dark Horse Comics @darkhorse.com are forming a union. Please read our mission statement below. 👇 #DHWU

Gonna be running games at GenCon this year, specifically Heart: The City Beneath and Hollows, from Rowan, Rook and Decard. If you wanna play bloodborne by way of ttrpgs, let me torment you on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. www.gencon.com/event-catalo...

I like the part of the Odyssey at the Phaeacian court where Homer has Odysseus turn to the camera and say: "Now, we've all been having a lot of fun here today, but let's remember who the REAL heroes are---the hardworking bards and harpers in your own neighborhood. Remember to leave a tip, kids."

AI always calling your ideas “fantastic” can feel inauthentic, but what are sycophancy’s deeper harms? We find that in the common use case of seeking AI advice on interpersonal situations—specifically conflicts—sycophancy makes people feel more right & less willing to apologize.

Not enough people are talking about this. A Florida airport was renamed after Donald Trump. He walked away with the trademark, the licensing rights, and a deal that lets him profit off every piece of merchandise sold there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

The first-ever Game Workers Conference is taking place right now! We're hearing that there's one talk in particular you won't want to miss

Every summer I repost this article on how to spot drowning. Please read it and pass on. In the last few years I’ve had SIX messages from people who saved a kid’s life after clicking on the link from my feed. slate.com/technology/2...

The ordeal of being loved is having friends who will text you 'new boyfriend dropped' and be 100% correct in their assessment. Completely unrelatedly, Subnautica 2 is a lot of fun and I definitely don't have a thing for NoA. The tyranny of matter indeed.

Not to participate in the disk horse, but man, do people just not have the tools to search for variety in the ttrpgs? One of the comments that spawned off of the anti-PbtA post said that they felt the narrativists had "won" and it's giving 'walking simulators aren't real games' circa 2014

BREAKING: The judge has DISMISSED the criminal charges against Kilmar Abrego Garcia on vindictive and selective prosecution grounds! A MAJOR win for Mr. Abrego. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

One more task for today: call your senators about HR 2616 The "Don't Say Trans" bill literally states it's "defending women from gender ideology." Cis women, I am deputizing you especially. Please make several phone calls to tell them to knock it the fuck off.

You've probably seen the word #Landback somewhere and instantly had some feelings. It sounds blunt, which is part of why a lot of people tend to have an instant reaction or jump to some very problematic misconceptions about what it means. So, let's talk Landback, from my POV and work.

THIS WEDNESDAY: join @dairinstitute.bsky.social as we launch the Luddite Lab Resource Hub, a resource for workers fighting AI at work. We provide strategies for worker-led governance and oversight of this tech through case studies, primers, and a resource library. www.eventbrite.com/e/launching-...

Currently working on a case to try and get polyamorous relationships protected by the Illinois Human Rights Act. I have absolutely no idea if it will work, but it's nice to occasionally have a case pushing to extend human rights to more people as opposed to pushing back on them being taken away.

Sometimes you're like 'ooh, here's a fun little consequence to drop in as a detail' and then your players decide 'ah, the mech game is a noir heist where we will do a small amount of terrorism in order to find out where our NPC was kidnapped to'. It is genuinely my favorite part in ttrpgs.

CIS PEOPLE TIME TO STEP UP it’s once again time to yell at our bad government via online comment form the FCC is trying to make trans and nonbinary content require special ratings on shows GLAAD has a good writeup on it below TELL ‘EM NO direct link to comment form: www.fcc.gov/ecfs/filings...

all kickstarters are governed by the interplay between two equations: (# of backers) x (average backer pledge) and (product MSRP) = (manufacturing cost) * [at least] 8

Four Pillars Gaming published hundred of AI-generated profiles over the past four months and when people asked to be taken down, they doubled down, defended their process, and refused. The ramifications of hallucinatory LLM "histories" threaten to erode truth and destroy the historical record.

quick heads up b/c we are covering the basics this monday morning: if you are accused of infringing trademarks & misappropriating rights of publicity w/ your posts, "that was AI & I never said it was real" is probably not going to get you off the hook www.news4jax.com/news/local/2...

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

Time to get really normal about another ttrpg system.

Today it was a "you did not fax this early enough for my very specific tastes even though the WA rules say that you're fine so long as it is before the hearing itself. I don't care. Also while you're here, prove a negative." Your honor I'd like to make a motion to drown myself in the Sound.

My ideal seasonal situation is one day of sun to every three months of darkness. Seattle has been Slsunny for 3 days straight. Unbearable.

WotC declined to voluntarily recognize our union by Friday, May 1st. While we're disappointed in this delay, together we remain strong in our convictions. We look forward to sitting down at the bargaining table so we can make Arena better for workers, for Wizards, and for our players. #UWOTC-CWA

Caroline Litman met Health Secretary Wes Streeting and reiterated my offer to brief him on the NHS trans health crisis. Many of Streeting’s remarks confirm the issues I drew attention to in my video on conversion practices. youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

Happy International Worker's Day! Today, we hope to hear from WOTC and Hasbro on whether they will voluntarily recognize our union. Going to MagicCon? Show support by wearing red on Saturday. Can't go? Send us a picture of you in red instead! Keep the signatures coming! cwa.org/uwotcletter

Please sign this United Wizards of the Coast MTG Arena union petition!!!! Make Hasbro and WOTC recognize their union!! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...

It's fine, they definitely won't make the leap to come for you and your delicious LGTBQ avatar next because they think it's deviant too. That person was weird, you're not.

“The tenor of those conversations have gotten a lot more one-sided, a lot more our way or the highway, and that's pushed a lot of us into union organizing because we don't feel like we have another valid mechanism for redress." @uwotc-official.bsky.social talks union demands and what happens next.

Signed and happy to see more union efforts in the games industry!

Along with the public announcement that MtG Arena's team is unionizing, there's an ask to sign this action letter. This helps let management know the outside is watching their reaction to union efforts and people care about this. So if you got a sec, sign! actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcl...
