White Americans are learning once again that the *only* thing that has ever made you safe from fascism is being willing to sacrifice non-white people. That is your contract with white supremacy. "Give us someone else so it won't be you."

A fun thing about being part of a culturally-connected spiritual tradition is that you'll spend years studying it and treating your practice with care and reverence, wondering the whole time if you are "enough"...and then some white pagans will zoom up and be like "Neato! This is mine now!"

I know it's Christmas Eve, but an Ontario animal sanctuary (pet pigs, horses, etc) just had their water tank system fail. It's going to cost over $3000 to fix it, and it's an emergency situation (the animals have to have water). Please donate/share if you can:

I wrote a D&D module! A short thing, with plenty of bookish vibes, and even more bookish puzzles. Set in an archive about to be swallowed in to a void of magic by a powerful spellbook accidentally donated to the archive.

The unraveling of pages
This tale is the first of several introductory adventures into the series Tales of Landhurst. The first installment will focus on the nation's magical guild, as well as the librarians' guild, other scholars and knowledge seekers. Magic, scholarship and quick thinking will be crucial in this puzzle heavy dungeon crawler adventure. In this adventure, the players will need to solve puzzles, learn arcane secrets as well as find the truth of a corrupted archive, all while doing their best not to get eaten by sentient book monsters!

Bringing this up again to spread the word. People aren’t getting their SNAP (food benefits) come November 1st. This is disastrous. This feeds poor, unhoused, and disabled people. Our voices are small and it’s hard to get people to notice our struggles. So many people will starve without SNAP
