excited to be a part of Starfinder's 2e relaunch with this tale of the iconic operative, Iseph! hope you enjoy!

“It’s possible, even probable, that Trump is interested in the issue as an instrument for bludgeoning Democrats…But Democrats don’t have to make it easy. There’s no reason for them to fuel the MAGA fires by overthinking, underreacting, and avoiding confrontation.” www.thebulwark.com/p/transgende...

The HHS rule banning trans care from many ACA plans is open for public comment now. Only 3 comments so far. Embarrassing how the media is completely ignoring this. There's likely over 200,000 trans people on ACA plans (1% of 24 million) www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

This is a tough read, fellow Americans, but this is the cruelty we're doing to people who have no criminal records.

I have made a terrible mistake

Can't get through to either @durbin.senate.gov or @duckworth.senate.gov. Dear Senators Duckworth and Durbin: Please make a public statement confirming that you'll be doing the right thing and voting NO ON CLOTURE. Thank you.

that thing where you put your mouse and keyboard properly into the ergonomic tray at your desk and your posture is better but then you have to move the monitors closer because the text is blurry and then you have to move them closer and then you also have to adjust the text display size...

My thanks to everyone who reposted this. And to future people who will repost _this_ post. And to my ancestors, who never got to post at all.

Just launched my latest project. You can probably guess the inspiration, but read all about it at igg.me/at/protest2025.
