Also I found this, so blessed Nittel Nacht to you as well, here's some cool info and poetry. opensiddur.org/shared/praye...

Cuddles gave me this as my Christmas Eve present... They are skull ice cube molds. So I'm expecting to get fancy alcohol tomorrow, because she ordered me to fill and freeze them tonight 😁 (I gave her a pencil sharpener with Die Pencil! engraved on it 🤭)

Happy Holidays y'all - however you do it (or if you don't at all), have a good day. Here's our Christmas Decoration this year: Squeak, our old lady cat, who moves so gracefully that the bells hardly ever even jingle.

I can relate, Murderbot. I can relate. #murderbot #slyart

My bioparents, having not heard from me (and being left on read) since Feb, are not taking the hint and still sent Christmas money. So here's where it went! Atlas is a good friend, and a lovely person, and where better to donate money from my transphobic parents than a great non-binary filmmaker?

Honestly I chose the wrong pull quote for the post. The right one is: “by making bigotry explicit, Trump and his closest imitators create a permission structure for people to be their worst selves.”

“It turns out that banishing the slur from public discourse was, in fact, important. Because now it’s back and it turns out that it does matter when subtext becomes actual text, when terrible people enable open hatred and bigotry, encouraging others to emulate them, degrading us all.”

While it may feel like the end times are upon us, trans people have always found ways to not only survive but thrive, and 2025 was no different. Trans people and their allies made history and culture - here are some of our successes this year! Share more of our accomplishments with us below <3

Finished issue 2 of The End Times today (and the King Universe has begun to creep in, we both laughed), thank you @badhandbooks.bsky.social, @benjaminpercy.bsky.social, @stephenking.bsky.social this is great.

The 2025 Headline of the Year Nominees 🧵

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with the bank, and to get my car back, I need to pay the entire remaining balance, which is a little over $5K. I feel awful asking for any more after how overwhelmingly powerful the response has been so far(!), but unfortunately we aren't quite out of the woods yet.

are you jewish and do you think you can gather 2-5 players for TTRPG playtest that must take place in the next 48 hours? if so, send me a DM!

Watched The War Between the Land and the Sea today. Fuck that was good. Heartbreaking, devastating, beautiful, and so fucking good. Redgrave and Tovey and Madeley and Mbatha-Raw just brought everything. So good. Also note: non-binary kid, yes! And a disability accommodation used to solve a problem.

Happy Solstice, Blessed Yule, bring back the daytime sun! ☀️

Played some EZ D6 Wasted World (which quickly became mostly Fallout World). My char was based around charm, wit, making friends, etc, so I wasn't much use in fights and I kept rolling 1s which didn't help much either. So I basically did two things: 1) befriended Fred the plastic Flamingo-

O have 4 thoughts about the Tomb Raider:Legacy of Atlantis trailer 1) Is she...wearing blusher? 2) How has she still not developed a single arm muscle? 3) Alix Wilton Regan yay! 4) THE DINOS HAVE COLOUR AND FEATHERS!

Since yesterday, many people have DM’d to say that they were strongly affected by my essay & wished they could share it. So I've revised, expanded, & posted it for free on both Substack & Patreon. Please feel free to share. www.patreon.com/posts/this-i... catvalente.substack.com/p/this-is-wh...

OK hear me out: a site called Good Mews Network that profiles cats. Bonus: it's twofold, the cat writes one and their human(s) write one.

It's the doors in Drawing of the Three.

The number 1 movie when you were 19 years old is how your 2026 is going to go. Yep, seems about right.

I wanna see them try and find the words to identify me. Because so far I still remain in their "doesn't exist" category.

I also was searching literature and couldn't find a single example of a minor getting phalloplasty Did, however, find that 97% of breast reductions performed on minors were on cisgender males (of course...) pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

I cannot see the slightest justification for allowing anti-trans hate group ‘Sex matters’ to comment on this story. If you agree with me, a complaint to the BBC only takes a few moments. www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc....

Today I got finished the main drafts if what I think is all the text for the #ttrpg! 🙌 So I'm definitely on track for March! Next job: create the base pdf file, and put my table of contents into it. That'll let me shape it, show me anything I missed, and give me structure for the rest.

Hi, looking for some illustration work at the moment, send me a message if you'd like some art for your project. You can also email me at [email protected] Thanks!

So, whoever peeled off our small Pride sticker from the front window now gets to look at this fully-inclusive entire FLAG whenever they go past our house. (You can still see the #trans flag sticker bottom left, the other one was about the same size) #LGBTQ people right here, and staying, tyvm.

Happy Hanukkah 🕎 May this time help you find the light, love, peace and joy you deserve 💜

Rob & Michelle Reiner. I'm in shock tbh. Seminal guy both from his work and *everything* I've ever heard about him. That's no way for anyone to have to go out.

We’ve had lots of new followers recently (welcome!) and thought it was a good moment to reintroduce who we are, how we work, and what we stand for. So we’ve brought the answers together in one place.

This is very freakin cool from @404media.co - what looks to be the now earliest known controlled fire dates back waaaaaaaay farther than previously thought. www.404media.co/scientists-d...

Today I got to compare Thomas Aquinas' and his logical probability argument to "a drunk frat boy in a bar using his 1 year of philosophy studies to try and impress women". That was a fun conversation 😁

And there's my name riiiiiiight... *points to top right* there 😁

Harassment, 'untruthful' evidence, and 'unusual' legal questions. Our reporter Xander Elliards looks at nine points from the Sandie Peggie ruling that the rest of the media has left out

It’s the holidays and the end of the year and a lot of people (women) are asking, how does she do it all? Answer: she doesn’t www.patreon.com/posts/how-to...

it's not important. that's the answer. it is very very very rarely true, but it's not important.

Some asshole peeled off the Progress Pride flag on the outside of our window. Amusingly they left the trans flag, and I'm guessing that's cos they're too stupid to know what it is. So anyway, good luck to them getting rid of the actual flag that I just bought to hang on the inside 😁

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games. If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here: evilhat.com/game-submiss...
