Protect them

These aren’t even dog whistles anymore. This is WILD. And you can’t say she didn’t know. Her ENTIRE thing is hidden messages and references. 8 lightning bolts and an 8 pointed star is wild. This is full mask off.

“Art for commerce is still art.” THIS IS MY NEW MANIFESTO PHRASE. The art in every museum? Especially Renaissance art? Almost all through patronage. Art for commerce is still art!

The blue haired bard is back in the tavern tonight to celebrate @critbard.com birthday! See you in chat tonight at 7pm CT/8pm ET for a bit of D&D and merriment amongst friends. Let The Ballad of the Birthday commence soon! twitch.tv/critbard

Gonna have to reschedule

“All media is offline.”

I have said for YEARS that I think my man Ken Branagh has a Don Quixote in him (see the line he added to both Cinderella and Murder on the Orient Express about "seeing things not as they are, but as they should be") and he maybe just wanted to age into the role himself, but good news: he's old now

@craiggumz.bsky.social are we cooked?

Today is National Coming Out Day. Each day, we all chose just how out we are. Sometimes this changes by the hour. There are many among us who do not have the privilege to always be as out as we might wish. To those I say: you are seen, you are heard, and you are loved. I am proud of you 🌈

Does anyone have a starter pack for PDX based TTRPG folks?

We don't see a ton of APs with older adults as major characters. I am grateful to Cai for conceptualizing a premise that centers our relationships with our elders and their relationships to each other. As someone who didn't/doesn't have close elders in my life, it means a lot to me.

BEHOLD HIM

Are things the worst they’ve ever been, or were you just part of a petit bourgeoisie now rapidly collapsing?

Late nite stream drop: JOIN US OCT 28th FOR A PRE-PREMIERE TALKBACK www.youtube.com/live/Ac5YF1u... Then stick around for the first episode of #TM4 and the chance to win a copy of Tales of the Valiant!

I mean this in a nice way If you think Twitch is gonna stop ICE from taking you, I've got a bridge to sell you

More bad housing news. Send good vibes and guillotines.

HAVING SAID ALL THAT, I do want to point out the treatment that Chicago is getting compared to Portland. Like really sit in it and think about the difference in treatments that the city of Chicago is getting compared to Portland. What could be the difference, I wonder - hmmmmm.

Anarchy with democracy rising >>> misanthropic anarchy

Can't believe @emilygreymoore.bsky.social finally get to celebrate our wedding this month. It's been two years since we eloped and I'm so excited to finally share it with friends and family.

Hivemind, I've got a buddy who' GM'ing for a friend with DID. This friend wants their character to also experience DID, and have that mechanically reflected somehow. What's the move here?

Portland has been about 10x busier than usual with helicopters (and F-16s). I can only imagine what Chicago is going through right now.

This might feel dismissive of what is, ultimately, a very real threat — but it's true. Fascism relies on a massive bloc of nihilistic supporters only interested in their own comfort to garner popular support. It has no other appeal to the masses.

The "Portland plywood windows" angle is a psy-op. Yes, there are still vacant storefronts, post-pandemic. But that's because Portland prioritizes local businesses. The only reason other cities "recovered" faster is because big box monopoly took over.

In a world of content. Make some art.

I am not at all surprised at this collab between two native New Yorkers — but also no one has more juice than Zohran and tabletop is a keystone for the future of entertainment. It’s all right there to read.

Met my wife and, after a brief inventory, 90% of my friends. Social media is an incredible tool cannibalized by advertisers and propagandists over and over and over again.

If you liked Small Gods Scatter (award winning 🙂‍↕️) or pretty much anything I've had a hand in planning, playing, running — you'll absolutely love this campaign ✨

Christ would have listened to a lot of System of a Down, I think

Do you have an AP or TTRPG stream or podcast launching or airing in October? If so, let’s talk about doing a promo for you on @uepodca.st DM me?

This is the most accurate depiction of the Midwest to date. Wichita has always felt like the last Midwest city while also being the first plains city.

It's feeling real Socialism or Barbarism in this motherfucker lately

"When the last feather falls / The sage god shall shatter / The first leaf to burn shall / See the small gods scatter" I loved this arc

when travel for a trip has 1-2 steps: i'm a jetsetter. this is the life of a wanderer. i'm at peace. when travel has a single additional step: there is no saving me for i boil in the pit of hell

For what my opinion is worth - MOST content creators cannot bring in a meaningful volume of backers so I'm shifting away from viewing them as buzz build. Where I'm seeing value in content is in playthroughs. Have them ready when you launch. If they air earlier, have lead capture ready.

In an ecosystem that relies on reputation and is deeply social, understanding this distinction is so important.

Being hurt in private to your close friends is not the same as actively causing people to lose opportunities and getting them rejected for jobs. For one, I am not in the position of authority to do that and for second, I'm allowed to be hurt among my friends when a bad break up happens.

Presumably as part of Trump's insane assertion that insurrection is occurring in Portland, F-16s have been buzzing the *suburbs* non-stop since 6am.

If you haven't heard Small Gods you are missing out on an absolutely gorgeous arc.

So stoked to have such an amazing story, with such incredible performers, who told it with so much heart and wit, finally recognized! And a massive thank you to @pcperini.com for GMing, editing, soundscoring, and helping mold this masterpiece.

Oh my goodness, nobody's gonna be able to tell me anything today (I say through tears) Thanks Sydney Web Fest, this story means so much to me 🥹

We made a little 3-ep show about: the advent of fascism in the early adulthood - of the grandmother - of a character from Rally An EXTREMELY niche undertaking steeped in ethnoreligious diaspora. It was really for us. Anyway, it just won best podcast at the Sydney Web Festival.

Thank you so much, Sydney Web Fest, for naming Small Gods Scatter BEST ACTUAL PLAY PODCAST 2025! @emilygreymoore.bsky.social, @ddungeondiving.bsky.social, and @oakleafinsignia.games burned the HOUSE DOWN in our story of love and loss.

Anyone down to do a midroll ad swap? 👀

Many such cases
