Everybody involved will need to go to prison and if democrats in congress don’t have the stomach for punishing these people they should just resign now.

On Friday another performer complimented my stage presence and I didn't have a good response for that, just said, "thanks... i practice it!" Which I do! Core aspects of my acting tools are about being in a space and the space holding you, moving the space and the space moving you.

As a creative starting out, I cannot stress how much feigning delusional self-confidence will serve you better than reflexive, anxious self-deprecating. Trust me on this.

This art nouveau tile we have looks like a fairy crying and where the tears hit the ground, red berrys spring up and ripen! What are they crying over? And what's their station that affords them such a green jacket with shoulder pads like those?!

I'm on the hunt for artists/illustrators that specialise in landscapes and scenery, or who love drawing nature! 🌷🏞️🌳 I'd especially love to hear from BIPOC artists, but this is an open call! Self promo welcome, please comment with examples/portfolio links if possible ☺️ #art #illustration

This is the best post of the year. Full stop.

I've had 3 careers at this point and it's gone like this: 1. Artist blacksmithing in Ukraine or stay at a shitty job having just been dumped? 2. Volunteered too hard for peace and they started paying me. 3. I love rpgs & playing characters, I desperately want, need to to act & perform.

Every time I hear about how AI companies are stealing from people to make their fucked up products, I think of Aaron Swartz and what they did to him.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum (also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

We had a great Tales Held Dear show last night! Here's Tetiana playing evil movie star Big Dipper, literally stars, and I'm a bigshot auteur director. It doesn't go well for us! Fantasy roleplay improv comedy in Berlin, once a month! Come see us! Or, invite us to your city, we'd love to travel 🤩

THEY ADDED NEW GARBAGE reblog to save a life

Regret to report that there has been another good linkedin post

New from my distributor I foolishly read on this, my supposed week off. @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social does a lot of library business. I'm dreading that January statement. Gang, if you have ever wanted an Iron Circus title, now would be a wonderful time for you to grab one. 💀 store.ironcircus.com

Keep this in mind when people claim cars mean business — closing Central #Madrid to cars over holidays resulted in a 9.5% boost in retail spending on its main shopping street: STUDY. There was also a 71% drop in air pollution. Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. #citymakingmath #citiesforpeople

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke. IG bscomedian

It is so very much as if some black hole has opened up under the West, and nobody can seem to stop it dragging us all in…

Really interesting article on signed language and how it has been co-opted for profit

This deserves a thread but the short answer is: because the far right has weaponized politeness & decorum.

And it all boils down to one thing: far right crybabies cannot stand being correctly labelled on what they are. They genuinely believe it’s more hurtful to be called out than the oppression and violence they actually carry out because they think the people receiving it are sub-human.

The quickstart for this is a great read!

Ever wanted to play a sentient slug piloting a suit of full plate armour? Zin Never Dies by Eiko Nemo Dowme lets you do just that. It is a wonderfully weird fantasy setting that steps away from the usual tropes.

Please recommend me an actual play. Something new to watch or listen to. Something that is not D&D and is not an all white cast. What you got?

NOT MINE but my friend @boxen.bsky.social is working on this as an artist! with 15 days left and only at 25% funding we need to get these numbers up folks! www.kickstarter.com/projects/lea...

Freelance life is hard hard, I definitely spent portions of this year on the edge of stability and tears but it also hurts to see good friends going through it as well and not having more than just a shoulder for them.

THE EVENT IS UP! Also, I've been in the space almost five years. I come on REALLY STRONG with my opinions about the AP scene so prepare for that. I love the space, some folks in it, and i know it can be better. I think it CAN be better, we just have to work towards it. warhorn.net/events/conze...

Anyway if you are in ttrpg actual play and have opinions on how to run and play darker, more serious, and emotional AP, I’m hosting a convo hour over @conventionzero.bsky.social this Saturday! Hope to see you there!

🧿 #BlueskyCoven Today in "Stuff You Missed": 3/5 scenes from Broken Sky, including one never-before-heard scene that @wederrakeep.bsky.social and I co-GM'ed, playing both D&D and Wickedness simultaneously where Charley from WWK and Emmett from OAW meet in the depths of their subconscious.

In a corner of the Astral Sea that some people think is the wellspring of magic itself you come to the Infinite Isles. It's a place of deep power, old chaos, gods. Less so since the Puzzlemaker, a goddess herself, now vanished or dead, weaved a spell of protection against the rampaging of deities.

Doing into this today - I'll be Cleomenes in The Winters Tale for our December 8 Shakespeariment production in Berlin. We get a 90-minute version, learn the lines in a month, rehearse once for two hours and then put it on to a packed audience, similar to the original troupe.

Sunday evening finally made the map of my home game after 3 years - The Infinite Isles, my take on a corner of the Astral Sea in 5e, with inspirations and pieces from everything, including The Thousand Thousand Islands, Cat Valente's Palimpsest, The Black Company, The Jungle Book, The Little Prince.

Hey, wait. What? Oh....that's wild. Lil Harry has done it again! The Summer of Voices in the Wood is now the Autumn of Voices in the Wood.

Paul Krugman only reads blogs and that is why he, unlike everyone else who has been in punditry for decades, has never lost his mind

"This could take down Democrats, too." I know. And I frankly wouldn't give even an itty bitty damn if it implicated every Democratic man in Congress, every Democratic hopeful for 2028 and every Democrat who has even thought about running for office. Down with the sex predators, wherever they are.

Workers with @kickstarterunited.org end their six-week strike victorious, enshrining 4-day work weeks and salary floors while also adding protections against gen AI replacing human labor.

Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

I'm going to be releasing a game for ZineQuest in Feb. I'm looking for any podcasts, streams, blogs or the such where I could big it up (either with the new game as the focus or as an aside to another convo). If that sounds of use to you, please hit me up!

Be PATIENT with yourself. If your dream AP takes two years to come out, that’s fine! If you fall off the internet for six months or longer, that’s also fine. Existing while living in this system is hard, and making art within it is even harder. And then you have to do taxes after. 15/16

imagine a bingo cage filled with balls each with the name of a project on it and that's what I need in order to figure out what I should be doing on a given day, because all of my projects are about as consequential as bingo squares in relation to each other and choosing what to work on is hard.

So on Epstein, the Democratic position should be "Trump should resign." If you are a Democratic elected, practice saying "We demand the president's resignation" in front of a mirror as many times as it takes until the dry-heaving that comes from having a phobia about actually doing politics passes.

Please help, I've fallen down the Temu screaming goat throw pillow rabbithole

according to the casting call categories, I'm middle-aged! The surprise to me though is that I've been middle-aged for... quite a while at this point 😬
