Good. Fuck nazis and their friends and enablers and platformers.

🧵about the Void Virtuoso in my #ttrpg game, Void Shifted: A problem Cuddles has with the Bard class as a rule is that they're cool, but bad at being front-liners. She wants to be a bard that can fuck shit up, but never can. So while I was creating the Void Channelers- 1/5

Doofus dog's side/butt is healing nicely, though we'll have to see if she remains piebald or grows her fur back. Only now she's developed a nasty rash on her neck that she keeps scratching 🤦 So we've had to order a neck protector thing, which she is going to absolutely loathe. Poor baby.

Did I mention I made a new #ttrpg game? I might have... Lemme introduce you to Void Shifted, a contemporary dark fantasy take on interdimensional magic. 17 classes to choose from, each with unique skills. Simple mechanics with an RP-heavy playstyle. Become whoever, or whatever, you wanna be.

Happy #Caturday my dears

Reminder: including alt-text on your images is helpful in many ways! It increases accessibility, can add context/detail, makes search more effective, & can improve your reach (a lot of us won’t re-share images without alt-text). If you set it as required in accessibility settings, you can’t forget!

A lot of people dont like "death dates." And I get it. Why focus on the day someone died - something sad - and not just celebrate the day they were born? But for me, there's something a death date represents better that a day of birth doesnt do as well. Reflection. 🧵

When it comes to writing, the process is the purpose. You don’t have to always like or enjoy the process, but if you don’t respect it enough to do it yourself, there is no purpose. AI will never fill that void. www.thehandbasket.co/p/refusing-t...

Welp. The third book in the Talisman trilogy is announced for October so that means I need to do a Dark Tower wider universe reread. That's 18 books, per my list - everything that I judge as being more than an easter egg. Better get started! Mid-world calls!

I accidentally stood quite heavily on Menace's tail earlier. This isn't a unique event, she likes to sit with it laid out behind her and it's mostly black, so it's easy to miss. But this time I actually hurt her 😬 I checked on her when she came for her bedtime treats, and it's clearly-

🚨 THIS FORM WILL BE CLOSING SOON 🚨 full transparency, y'all. if we can't get enough volunteers, we *will not* be able to put on this event. We would really appreciate the ttrpg community's hand in making this event a reality 🧡💜 so, if you've been wanting to apply, NOW IS THE TIME ⏰

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Also worth noting:

History shows us the UK’s Trans+ healthcare system isn’t broken - it’s working exactly as it was meant to. Understanding that history is key to fighting back 🏥 #TDoV

Okay I'm not going to be reblogging book promo all day, so here's the deal: If you're a transfemme author and have a new or upcoming *2026* book release, drop your links in the replies! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #tdov

Here's some art for any trans friends who would like it. Drop me a message if you'd like the high res emailed to you.

Hey folks, for Trans Day of Visibility I am going to do another Indie #ShowCasey! 💙💗🤍💗💙 Are you a trans gamedev? Reply below with your game, tell us a little about it, and make sure to include a link to the store page. Everyone else? Signal boost some neat games! One rule: No GenAI!

the best thing that we can do in this AI-slop-filled, influencer culture, fascist era is keep it real. make art. be authentic. lead with joy. tell the truth. we win.

This is a #TransDayofVisibility/#TDoV thing Cuddles made for me a few years back (based on the original self-esteem Shark).

Happy trans day of visibility, here is a wrasse design I made awhile ago because all wrasses change sexes as they age.

Today is #TransDayofVisibility. I wrote about how the possibility for change that transness represents benefits everyone, because it is the same possibility that maybe other parts of our lives can be better too. 💖🤍💙 xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

This #TDoV/#TransDayofVisibility, put your money where your mouth is. Buy something a trans person made. Commission a trans person for some art. Support a trans person with a donation. You can start with me if you like. I have a new game out that invites all marginalised people and our allies in 😁

It is, once again, #TransDayofVisibility (aka #TDoV). It's not safe for all of us to be visible so fuck it, I'm right here for those who can't be. I exist. I live. I love. I play. I write. I laugh. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I despair. Sometimes I'm afraid.

Fixed a couple of typos someone found in Void Shifted today, and did a couple of thousand words on book. OK so some of those words were rewriting the start of Act 3 but it's much better now, and the ending is gonna be way less out of nowhere, plus it can be a happy ending now!

They don't even try to pretend they don't hate disabled people, anymore. What with this and slicing mileage allowance... And that was just this last week.

1/🧵 I’m currently looking to hire a UK-based Junior Software Engineer. This is a unique opportunity as the project is a hybrid: an indie game with real-world industrial applications. I will train the right candidate from the ground up in advanced high-performance computing and graphics.

Speak Up for Trans Youth! The UK government is currently consulting on a revised draft of ‘Keeping Children Safe in Education’. The proposed version affects how children who are trans, non binary and gender diverse are worked with in schools in England and Wales.

"Israel is the first state in history to legislate a death sentence that applies only to one ethnic group. There's a reason nobody has ever done this. It's a depth of evil beyond humanity itself." ~ Daniel Lambert, KNEECAP Manager

Cuddles: What can I say, they just need a break 🤭

Well shit, I guess I can't hide behind my game anymore because it's out now. So I have to dig back into my book! I *need* to rewrite some stuff that really isn't working, before I can keep going, so I'm gonna have a go at that tomorrow.

I'm a number of years behind but I just finished reading the entire Vorkosigan saga. I wasn't entirely sure what to expect going in but dman, that shit was good. Very enjoyable storytelling.

Reminder that the reason you're seeing so much weird Chappell Roan news is that just a few weeks ago she fired her Epstein-adjacent agent, Casey Wasserman. Wasserman is still the chairman of the 2028 LA olympics, but has started stepping back from his ad agency.

Society doesn’t care about the suffering of groups they deem lesser, because even in grief there’s a social hierarchy. Transphobia is rooted in misogyny and normalises the abuse of all women.. but I wish cis people cared about how transphobia harms trans people.

Monster cat decided to climb over my head with her claws out, and now I have a 3 inch slash across my forehead. I know she looks cute and innocent but there's a reason she's called Monster...

Now I have released Void Shifted, I have the brain space to talk about it a bit! So, 20yrs+ ago I wrote a book. Then I wrote a sequel. I also wrote some short stories and outlined a 3rd book I didn't write much of Meanwhile I'd begun to play some #TTRPG games. It was inevitable, really that- 1/5

Hey folks, here's a really cool idea. I confess I'm guilty of probably too many random OOC moments, because keeping my mouth shut when I have snark to make is *hard*. I kinda love this.

Brilliant! "This week, Nigel Farage visited Felixstowe, which must have seemed safe territory. However, he was recognised and pursued through the streets by a growing band of shoppers singing ‘Who do you think you are kidding, Mr Hitler’."

Fucking Harry Potter fans are throwing out shit about "well what about this dead asshole's art you're still engaging with it" Motherfucker this ain't about the derivative-ass neoliberal status-quo fondling story where wizards shit in hallways, it's about the fucking money she uses to do harm.

wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it

"Ultimately, women's empowerment and trans inclusion are not mutually exclusive. We are all fighting against the oppressive patriarchal norms that limit us all. "

Void Shifted is here! #TTRPG folk! Here are 200 pages of dark, contemporary fantasy. Other dimensions! Dragons! Werewolves! Witches! Kitsune! The most bad-ass bard class you will ever meet! Everything is here. The complete game, with a bunch of (mostly queer) characters to help ease you in.

I did it! I fucking did it! The game is ready! But also it's 8:30pm and I've not eaten today so lemme do something about that then I can share 😆

NEW @ms.now: There’s a lot of context to the new IOC policy banning trans women from the Olympics that's not being reported. 👀 The researcher who came up w/ the genetic test that will be required for female athletes opposes this use of it — partly bc it produced false positives at the 1996 Games.👇

I feel like there is a disappearing distinction between "I cannot fight at the same level for each and every cause" and "Only my prioritised causes should be important". Fight the fight you can, yes, but never stop supporting the others as well. We all deserve to fight and be fought for.

Lotta people need to internalise that none of us are free until all of us are free!

Not like people haven't died as a result of prior sex testing regimes leading to blackmail, harassment, violence, and suicide.

The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

Our poor dog is back in her cone again. She's got some bald patches & made herself bleed due to scratching/biting it, so we spent a chunk of today cleaning and bandaging her. Poor baby, she sat and allowed it but was very sad. Tomorrow we'll have a bodysuit & some new food, which should help her out
