Any December in NYC tourism recommendations? My partner will be there for an entire Sunday afternoon and evening

So my birthday is in just over a month and what I want for it is Some Place to Be comments, thoughts and discussions and I'm telling you all now so you have time to listen to an episode or two before then, please and thank you

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

No new episode today but it will be out hopefully later this month!

Hey look, I made new #art of my Fabula Ultima character :D Elementalist/Weaponmaster/Fury I have a new screen tablet and am enjoying the heck out of it, especially since it lets me work in pencil and water color easier. Why yes I like Tales games why do you ask.

Turns out waking up at 4am, listening to an actual play inspired by Control, watching Severance episode 1 for the first time on a plane, taking a short nap, watching more Severance, then walking to your gate that has the previous flight to your home town still displayed on it, is really disorienting

Feels great to see our indie ttrpg in a site so dear to us like @rascal.news 🚀🪐

just got an email from my new work telling me that my start date has been pushed back a week as the person who heads the department is still recovering from surgery i was supposed to start this week but will be starting next week and i still need help please share if you can

does anyone have an AP they recommend that features a GMless system? I'm craving that particular collaborative-good-soup vibe. Caveats: I'm not interested in all white tables, or stuff with a buzz/hum, mic crackles, or mouth sounds (but otherwise high quality audio isn't a must)

when a certain high-profile author was revealed to be a fucking monster, I had to reckon with the fact that I found his books at a very formative time, and that his influence will always be part of me. I have to carry that. It sucks! But it doesn't behoove us to pretend monsters can't make art too.

sorry to all sp2b listeners but the next ep will not be up on the 13th :/ but! i will be doing what i can to get it out later this month!

The Bakers and the first Apocalypse World have inspired every main season game we've played on our show so far and the newest edition of Apocalypse World is now up on kickstarter!

They WERE NOT hype enough for my boi. HE WAS GOIN DUMB ON THEM KEYS

Can I ask everyone else a question? What's a playbook/class you would cast Maeve into for a future season of Some Place to Be? (Please also tell me the game name)

Airport day and my flight is delayed so ask me anything! But also specifically questions about actual play or Some Place to Be or TV I've been watching are encouraged

I’m still short on last month’s rent and I’m worried about this month’s as well 🥲 I’ve had one inquiry about the holiday season but again the sooner you purchase a gift commission the faster I can get it done!

Looking at what's entering the public domain in January, and it looks like 2026 belongs to the girls.

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

day 4: sick as shit #FatTpinups

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️

As always the best way to support me is to commission me! ko-fi.com/ayusheknows/...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

am reminded of the old joke: what did James Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin’s notes.

reading theory

A final fuck off to James Watson and to every news source who’s naming him as one of two co-discoverers of DNA structure without mentioning Rosalind Franklin. 🖕

I make actual plays because I love to make them and I love to listen to them because of how collaborative they are

Generously: I think what makes this a question wrongly asked is that it is true that many smaller creators need support that allows them to reach a greater audience, but not every show needs validation in that way, and we should be willing to first ask how to get it for those who do.

To be clear: if we are talking about audiences for AP being outstripped by the number of participants, that was a convo half a decade ago. It remains true that AP has always been made for many reasons, & for that reason cannot be understood as a single scene, industry, or community of practice.

To be honest it kind of grosses me out when people say too many actual plays exist, would you ever say that about other mediums? I think it's great that making actual plays is so accessible, all you need is a microphone, a ttrpg, and freely available software. It's awesome!

Bluesky defaulting "rude" moderation to Hide instead of Warn is an interesting choice, especially when no one even knew that was a new moderation category
