Time for Ask a Blind Guy. Give me a question about blindness in general. Or from a blind TTRPG GM/Player perspective. I'm here to help.

So there’s a website called Deer Of St Nicholas which posts Christmas wish letters from Ukrainian children who had their childhood stolen by the war, anyone can pick a child and get them their present and it’s that time of the year again to achingly scroll it for hours again

❗️It's a long way, but we have agreed with 🇸🇪Sweden to localize the production of Gripen aircraft in 🇺🇦Ukraine, — Zelensky

"so what's the hold up?" "the russians are too drunk" "ah, understandable"

This is just insane. "Bild reported that Witkoff thought Russia was proposing its “peaceful withdrawal” from Kherson and Zaporizhzhia when Putin was instead demanding the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from those regions." It actually appears Witkoff, on the... www.smh.com.au/world/europe...

Stories of undercover operatives who stay behind enemy lines and later fight in special ops units, through some of the war’s toughest battles, are usually found in movies or games. But this isn’t fiction. Here are key points from our interview with Artem "Skhidnyi" Karyakin 🧵:

I do.

Boy Scouts earn this patch after doing their first couch.

Pedro Pascal defended calling out JK Rowling as a "heinous loser" and said that "bullies make me fucking sick" and that he wants to "protect the people I love." variety.com/2025/tv/news...

Can we finally agree that Trump is a russian asset? The pattern has been quite clear. Remeber tariffs? On literally everyone, except russia. Remember denying the act of aggression? Remember 2 more weeks? And many others. I still can't believe that people in US chose this man to represent them.

Putin's spies are building a hit list of journalists, politicians, and public figures across Europe. GRU agents are ordered to collect home addresses of Kremlin critics for potential "active measures," investigative Dossirt Center reveals 🧵Here’s why they’re doing it — and please RT

The moscow-centered terrorist organization (aka russia) cannot, I repeat, cannot retaliate — by definition. It is waging a criminal war of aggression. russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians (war crimes) are a daily occurrence. We need our leading media and news organizations to do better!

Y'all, I found it: The single greatest post EVER

Last night we "retaliated" against Ukraine by doing exactly the same things we've done for more than 3 years.

🎖President of 🇵🇱Poland Duda awarded the head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of 🇺🇦Ukraine Budanov with one of the highest state awards for citizens of foreign countries - the Golden Officer's Cross of the Order "For Services to Poland".

Amazed Elon Musk openly wrote: "We found a CIA computer that not only was not connected to the internet but had been deliberately tampered with so it couldn't be connected to the internet we had to print out the stuff and type it into another computer" If he wasn't a billionaire he'd be in jail

People with Steam accounts, can you please report this shit

An (extremely half baked) idea I’ve had for a while now is that a huge swath of people do not want to do any of the actual work of being a human being and computers in general and AI in particular gives them an excuse to do so, and it’s ripping our society apart because it’s explicitly antisocial

Traveling abroad for work rn and my ass keeps flinching at airplane noises I keep forgetting they’re still a thing

i am experiencing trauma

Cyber security may be an annoyance in civilian life, but in the Ukrainian Armed Forces carelessness with cybersecurity could cause not just a stolen credit card but the loss of hundreds of lives. Here are special posters from the General Staff on this topic. 1/

The Istanbul talks are probably the greatest political own goal in decades. Putin fell into his own trap and all what’s left is just nervous, political stuttering.

NBC reports that, shockingly, during his latest Moscow pilgrimage Witkoff met with Putin and his two negotiators alone and without his own interpreter, relying - in breach of protocol - on a locally present one www.nbcnews.com/world/russia.... However, this seems half the problem (1/n)

Future generations will marvel at the fact that Biden could have helped the Ukrainians destroy the Russian army in the field in 2022 and chose not to do it in exchange for… uh… well, I’m sure it must have been good.

Can't unsee this now...

I am heir to 2,400 year old living traditions of self-government and historical inquiry, which have weathered two millennia of setbacks and long nights. They are heirs of a 10-minute old rebrand of a murderous 20th century ideology that failed almost immediately when tried. So, yeah, contempt.

also you all need to see this, because this is something I don't think *anybody* could predict for where this ad goes

I was deeply honored to meet President Zelensky via Zoom when he asked me to become an ambassador for UNITED24 to raise funds for surveillance drones. I'm proud to have walked this road with @u24.gov.ua to support the sovereign nation of 🇺🇦 & so grateful to all who have donated! 🙏❤️👍 #SlavaUkraine

Ttrpgs are such a weird hobby space. Imagine if 90 percent of video game players only played call of duty, and made YouTube videos about how to turn call of duty into a turn based strategy game or social deduction game.

I don't know if JD Vance killed the Pope, but I think we should deport him to El Salvador just in case.

I blame all russians and everyone supporting russia's genocidal war in UKR 🖕Fck all of you!

I've asked my fiancé, @alicjalimoonka.bsky.social for help with my rpg fan supplement for @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social Traveller. She helped. But being non-rpg weirdo, made a condition: I had to try knitting...

After Elon Musk has been insinuating to turn off Starlink in Ukraine, Poland‘s Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski is reminding Musk that Poland is paying for it, and he is making clear that if Musk follows through that Poland will abandon Starlink altogether for being an unreliable service.

I just finished running Mission to Mithril, Players loved it, and they want another one shot: Death Station. Unrelated: Cover art for my Traveller melee rules looks amazing!
