Liam was taken from Columbia Heights, the town just south of my high school in Fridley and just north of the Arts district in NE Minneapolis. I spent a lot of time with friends there after extracurriculars. News of his abduction completely broke my heart. I’m glad he’s home. #Comics4Liam

No such thing as immigrants on a planet meant for all. Stop giving those you claim to hate space by using their words unironically.

About activism, June Jordan said, “You do something, rather than nothing… You do whatever you can. You reach beyond yourself in your imagination, and in your wish for understanding, and for change. You admit the limitations of individual perspectives. You trust somebody else. You do not turn away.”

When I launched my newsletter in 2024, this was intended to be my 2nd post, but I could not find the words, then summer work beckoned, then I discovered the betrayal, etc., but nearly 2 years later, I can finally share this writing that literally took years, so if it resonates, please share widely!🥹

@gameassistyt.bsky.social [1/2] hey Game Assist.. 🙂 thought i'd let y'all know that the links in your YouTube Bio(both essay and plays) to the other channel are easy to miss or mistake for more text and the likelihood of people copy-pasting is usually not high..

This is where I'll remind everyone of @nogamesforgenocide.com and their general ask that, out of solidarity with BDS and Palestine, products under the Xbox and Microsoft gaming umbrellas not be covered by journalists or influencers nogamesforgenocide.com

This thread is very important because it’s legitimately my experience in the tabletop community, especially in Warhammer. It’s 50% of the reason why I quit 40k and the main reason why I want to make a BIPOC space for BIPOC players. Please read this thread.
