Charles Xavier: My school helps mutants control their powers. This is Cyclops, he was my first student and he is totally incapable of controlling his powers. This is Jean Grey, she started with Scott. She also cannot control her powers. And meet Rogue, yep you guessed it, can't control her powers

A brief history of the birth control movement that acknowledges Sanger’s ties to eugenics while affirming the necessity of birth control to improve maternal health, & connects that history to current problems faced by people he wants to represent, & promises material help for that problem!

This is the guy on the credentials committee that ousted me as a delegate for being an “outside agitator.” He lives in WAYZATA. I live in Ward 2. This is outrageous. Ward 2 needs new leadership, stat.

I hope you all read this from me.

This is one of the most insane, incredible communities of fan-made works, that never fails to impress.

Game Designers... what was the game that got you into designing #ttrpgs and why? For me it was Fiasco by @jmstar.bsky.social - it was/is a great game, I enjoyed playing it. The format was mind blowing but it didn't quite do what I wanted. So I wrote When The Dark Is Gone which did. #gamedesign

Also, to make this abundantly clear: This isn't just minneapolis. This is all of Minnesota. So if you know allies in outstate who could sign on, please pass it along to them.

Minnesota DFLers, this is a moment for cis allies to step up. Please sign onto the open letter.

This is trans rights, too. There is no viable position for the Democrats other than “trans rights are human rights.” Trying to triangulate a position where you throw trans people under the bus “just a little” to woo swing voters only feeds the right’s argument that trans people are a threat 1/x

Minneapolis people: if you weren’t aware, @naomikritzer.bsky.social is the best place to go for voter information, for all races but ESPECIALLY the smaller ones that don’t get a lot of media attention. First installment below 👇🏻

let me unlock some classes in your ttrpg after doing something in-game

Maybe my most grognard trait is that my favorite D&D is Moldvay Basic, so this thread imagining what the ranger class might have looked like in the Basic D&D fork is extremely my jam.

I felt so inspired after using @thebreadwyrm.bsky.social art yesterday, I decided to create a new supplement for #DNGN+DRGN . "WANDERING MONSTERS" will add rules for extended campaign play, social scenarios, and a travel subsystem - as well as 8 new creatures to use as adversaries, NPC, and factions

Minnesota will remain a safe place for our trans friends and neighbors. You are welcome and needed in Minnesota.

Alright, my dearies. Here we go. Join us for the ride? www.kickstarter.com/projects/lum...

100% agree, it's beyond time to do something about this. I'm sick of seeing our kids being killed. 🚨 MN folks — contact Gov Walz here and urge him to call for a special session on gun control. Takes 3 minutes and enough vocal pressure could be the thing that makes it happen: mn.gov/governor/con...

If we want to beat Trump and facism, we need a DFL party that puts people over party insiders, money, and factionalism. If you're feeling disaffected, I get it, but the answer is to get more involved, not less. If you want to fight for a better DFL, sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Someone in comments (and now I can't find the actual comment, sorry) said the best Star Wars trilogy is now Andor, Rogue One and Star Wars Ep 4, and you know what, I'm here for that argument, call it the "Death Star Trilogy"

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

This looks amazing, and it’s such a great idea to use images from historical public domain films!
