Yup. Realistically, there haven't actually been any additional trans rights of note since 2004. What people mean is "seeing more trans people in public and on TV and being expected to be respectful to/about them".

Here's a rather unusual class I wrote for your #OSR games 𓅦𓅦𓅦𓅦. foreignplanets.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

After hundreds of hours of reading and research, my 2025 Starter Guide to transfeminine literature is finally live! No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

the most expensive part of transition is actually all the books

This quiz is amazing in showing how close current transphobia is to being 30 year old reheated homophobia:

Christmas has come early!!!

meadowofthewitch-hares.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-... I've started a blog! My very first post is joining in the Hexmas Blogwagon by Prismatic Wasteland. (It is christmassy, in a catholic way, maybe not Rankin Bass-esque but it does have a headless cleric class to unlock, if you'll indulge me)

A Merry Hexmas to you all. Get to writing. www.prismaticwasteland.com/blog/blogwag...

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes my entry to this year's Christmas Blog Bandwagon: An entry in a hex crawl inspired by Rankin/Bass! We've got orcs, we've got labor disputes, and boy howdy we've got pop culture references galore! magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2025/11/blog...

Why not start the domain game early with Medieval Farming Simulator? Costs are completely whacky due to the need to interact with B/X D&D's funny prices, but the flavor is mostly based on Frans Bengtsson's "The Long Ships," where Orm spends his adventuring gold on raising a hall.

Happy Halloween! If you're looking for a scary film recommendation me and @snazzygoose.bsky.social just watched Onibaba (1964) it's so beautiful and unsettling.

this cold weather is frankly ruining the slutty robot vibe

I enjoy Halloween! I blog about it somewhat frequently so have eight (8) blogposts that are appropriately spooky for you to enjoy on this Hallows Eve. I shall collect them here for you #osr 1/8: Do the Monster Mashup! Combining different classic monsters to make new, weirder monsters

Four books to get to know me!

this whole piece is fascinating but this section really stuck out to me as why so many people are the way they are. they project trump himself onto themselves, and he is their identity. an attack on trump is a direct attack on them

"Arthur Spiderwick's Field Guide to the Fantastical World Around You" was released on October 25th, 2005. Although we did a 20th anniversary edition last year, with several pages of new art, I thought I'd share some behind-the-scenes photos and memories of this momentous book in my career.🧵

RE: the liberal currents article shared by Victoria Mccloud about trans toilet ruling The current situation whereby there is no clarity and a service provider could be sued for both trans exclusionary and trans inclusionary practices is not so much a stalemate as a siege tactic. /1

This is 100% correct. Including as to the chaos the Gender Critical Ideological Movement so beloved of Labour has now descended into as their facade of respectability crumbles like the Berlin Wall. www.liberalcurrents.com/nobody-knows...

100% correct and something to learn from other creative pursuits - all your planning and notes about a creative project don't count as extra points to your final score on the project. Only the project itself matters! The game/book/etc is THE thing. Everything else exists only to help you finish it.

Esther Ghey: "It was just that constant pressure of social media and wanting to get those likes. One of the hardest things was learning about what Brianna was accessing online that was encouraging her to self-harm and develop an eating disorder.” Did 'the pressure of social media' stab Brianna Ghey

Had a point to make about the hypocrisy of calling the march for Palestine this weekend 'disrespectful' but thought better.

your core users are people who have already demonstrated a willingness to abandon a more popular social media site for another, in the most part for disliking the politics of the people who run it. write this on a big whiteboard somewhere in the office

From the even-more-occupied state of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about humans! Specifically, how you shouldn't just say "They're humans, they're adaptable and ambitious!" and call it a day. https://magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2025/09/dont-make-humans.html

Through gritted teeth I am forced to hand it to Jude Doyle, who wrote a very good analysis of the ghosts haunting music criticism's past and present. Also apparently we both like EMA. jude-doyle.ghost.io/po/

Any analysis of far right radicalisation in the UK is incomplete without knowing that: 1. The gutter press has been pushing this sentiment for decades longer than Facebook has been a useful tool of recruitment. 2. The points on which these neo-nazis and the press agree TODAY is anti-trans policy.

i keep two copies of the same deck in my purse at all times so i can play mirror matches with strangers; i haven't spent any money on the game all year, and might never again. i'm not upset, because life changes. but from purely a curiosity standpoint, how did they ever lose someone as hooked as me?

It is hardly the point but a) trans people existed in Medieval Europe, b) lots of currencies were used in Medieval Europe, not just gold, which was in fact uncommon, c) alchemy was a lot more common in early modern Europe, d) women are not a commodity you absolute weapons????
