Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

It's wild when people get mad at players who "just play themselves". Everyone is playing themselves in some way. Even your weird little throwaway character is an aspect or part of you. Roleplaying gives you an excuse to play around with different selves, even if you don't know you're doing it.

Inkarnate is allowing AI assets in their new marketplace. This program was my first gateway into the #ttrpg scene, and i met a lot of cool people there. I witnessed some shady stuff from them before but this is the last straw. Canceling my subscription and taking down my maps from the explore page

In the race to develop artificial intelligence, tech giants are building data centers that guzzle up water, creating problems for those living nearby. https://trib.al/t6uceuq

It's really unfortunate about what has happened with @inkarnate.com lately. This was my go to software for the longest time, as both a creator and a GM. But with the recent changes, especially regarding the use of AI Assets, I can't in good faith continue to use it.

PSA: If you're an author & you get a chatty email from a marketer, or book club that praises your book & bashes Amazon's algo before offering to 'help', usually with 500 to 10,000 reviewers, it's just a ChatGPT automated marketing scam. It's the new Nigerian prince email, brought to you by 'AI' 🙄.

Just a reminder to everyone excited about the spiritual successor to Disco Elysium. The dev studio was purchased and the original writer was canned and left destitute. Don't buy it.

There are videos all over social media now of Border Patrol having moved on to the Home Depot at Western & 47th. Early reports suggest they may have snatched a tamale vendor.

Defund the police, because if you don't they'll defund literally everything else by being horrible excuses for human beings. Sorry Timmy, we had to close the schools because these two cops ruined a man's life.

Honestly, a really good article. It's not just Fox News and MAGA that have made it hell for trans people in recent years. It's some of the "liberal" news outlets and centrist publications that made this possible too.

Doctor's verdict: I did a number on myself. Xray and MRI ordered. Muscle relaxer prescribed. Gonna be $175 for copays. Immediate goal is $25 for the medication. Truly appreciate help getting this sorted.

Friends, I finally am in the market for freelance work! It's a big year for things like Magic and D&D, so if you've got a hankering for some expert content get in my DMs. I'm also eager to discuss contract marketing and communications opportunities.

Did the maths on this and it's kinda brutal lol to hit funding I'd need people to take the final 10 Legend tiers, or 24 physical backers, or 66 Digital. Realistically it'll be a combination of the above. Almost into the 1 week point for the campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/los... #ttrpg #trpg

OK, you folks helped me out last time. Now I'm having THIS issue in Affinity Publisher. When I have a list, and the list breaks to the next page, one page has space between the number and the text, and the next page does not. Any ideas? It only seems to happen when the list breaks to another page.

Also, read the linked article, that inspired this thread: bsky.app/profile/quar...

Ok, so beehiv is out of the running for doing serialized fiction. Still looking for a good platform to start this. Maybe it should be Patreon? Any advice would be helpful on a good online platform for monetization (but doesn't charge up front) and supports serialized fiction.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

Veridian Verses This is one of those sets that I really dig the vibe of, but I have absolutely no idea if anyone will be interested in it xD But maybe that's also because I don't often make dark green dice.

Gonna just say, if it's this easy to protest against the monolith that is Disney. Then there is no excuse for people to be clinging to Harry Potter. Like, if the needle can be moved against Disney, people can make it move against JK Rowling. Stop the flow of money into her accounts,

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

We heard you like irresponsible journalism so we did some journalism from our national platform as irresponsibly as humanly possible about a community going through a major crisis, pls subscribe

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

Got to sell these books cause the $472 to print them is totally dragging me down - so maybe buy a small indie game if you haven't yet Thanks! That's very kind, now I can begin crawling out of the hole perplexingruinsshop.bigcartel.com/product/sain... perplexingruinsshop.bigcartel.com/product/gnome

ice activity has definitely picked up somewhat. multiple arrests today in chicago's southwest side. traffic stops in addison, sightings as far as streamwood, butterfield, and aurora. we think agents are generally most active during the middle of the week, based off our (very limited) observations.

Just one week left on my contract with Blizzard! I'll soon be open to freelance and fulltime work in games and games-adjacent media.

I haven't posted about commissions in a while, but I'll be opening two slots for October! Hit me up if you need a cool illustration or a character design! [email protected] DMs are open too!

Are you or someone you know skipping GDC (or considering doing so) because of worries about coming to the US/San Francisco in the current environment? If so, I want to hear from you for a piece. DM me here or kyle DOT orland AT arstechnica DOT com. Please spread the word

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Trans people are people. Trans rights are human rights.

It's been almost a year since I touched anything to do with TTRPG writing and my worldbuilding project, but I'm trying to get back into it today, even if it's just editing a few encyclopedic notes to add more context or details. I have missed writing; this year has been messy.

People who use AI think that they’re skipping to the success when they’re skipping to the failure. You begin and end your life as someone who has not written the novel, you did not teach yourself to express what was inside of you, you died without making something that no one else could make.

there’s just one day left for this bundle. it’s halfway to its goal. please keep sharing and spreading the word about it. every bit helps. no effort is wasted effort. thank you!! 🙏
