"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.

Arc System Playtest: DONE! ✅ In any other system, this would have been an absolutely legendary roll from @estelofimladris.bsky.social. Tonight? Xainan got eaten by a giant horseshoe crab. Good thing these playtests aren't canon... 😅

begging white artists who draw primarily black/brown OCs/use said OCs as their pfp/part of their branding to put that you’re white SOMEWHERE on your profile 😭 I keep assuming yall are also POC and then I find out you’re not and like, maybe I’m too woke but??? It feels weird to me😩💀

Hey, #ttrpg folks! Guess who just published another cozy game? 👀 Mortar and Pestle is a solo journaling game where you play as a witch or wizard owning a magical shop. Create a story using the Major Arcana of the tarot and see where it takes you! monroeroe.itch.io/mortar-and-p...

bumping an old post cause i’ve been seeing various fat SW mutuals talking about this sort of phenomenon going on in their engagement on here 🚨 it does NOT pay our bills to tell us we’re hot and should “keep up the good work” or whatever.❗️ can’t buy food with “i always love seeing your content”‼️

Reminder that the cotton stretchy decorative spider web stuff is terrible for local wildlife (yes, even in the city).

To book a week at the Comfort Inn here in town? $800, not including any other expenses for that week like food or transportation. So, probably $880 total because I’d need to pay for instant transfer too.For comparison, a month’s rent on an apartment here is like $950 (plus utilities, etc. of course)

Hello, hello. Earlier this year, after some medical appointments, my medicine costs hiked a lot. The job search has also not panned out yet. I've incurred a little bit of debt because of these expenses and would like to ask for some help. itch.io/s/160647/diw...

One more bump before I go to bed for tonight. Please share! And if you don't want the full bundle, all the games are 50% off, including the older digital version of Navathem's End and Hark!'s digital second edition.

I’ve said this a million times but: freelance journalists are barred by the federal government from unionizing. They consider it price fixing. So these companies can exploit the fuck out of us and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about it.

Non-journalists really need to understand how everyone in the industry has been laid off, those who wanted to stay have joined an already massive pool of freelancers, and companies have cut freelance rates to almost nothing. Then they sent all the cash left over to their venture capital CEOs.

I AM GOING TO SCREAM This is why journalism is dying. Cause it’s impossible to be a reporter in this business while simultaneously paying for food.

More and more international researchers I talk to are choosing not to visit the US in the current political climate. Over time, I think this will complicate information exchange between US and international researchers, slowing the process of scientific discovery.

Many communities in the US have been quietly trialing “drone as first responder” programs that send drones to most every 911 call - which creates a near-constant state of surveillance. We all need to be organizing HARD against these programs: they’re a key pathway to getting Loomer what she wants.

IT'S HAPPENING: House Democrats are introducing articles of impeachment against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr for slashing research funding and spreading medical misinformation.

So I’m gonna get up on my soapbox a little. In the 80s, IDEA said disabled kids have the right to an opportunity for public education. Not a public education equivalent to their peers’. The opportunity. And Republicans railed against it even then. Inequity is all over the system.

Yep. This is, in part, why I resist "opportunity" frames (in health, education, etc) when *rights* are the goal.

Arc 4 marks the first of three spotlight seasons — where we focus on storylines that highlight and engage with a particular character’s backstory and personal Journey™️. Xainan, Lumièra, and Seir all walk a new path, but only one will have to face the end head on. I wonder who’s first…? 🤔

Okay. Pride, I hate doing this, etc. Mutual Aid Request. The long and short is, my power got shut off. They turned off my auto-pay months ago and didn't tell me. Now they want $3,500 to turn it back on. My partner needs power to work, because she works online. Me too. ANYTHING can help.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

In other news semi-related my neuropsych testing waitlist has increased in time from 5-6 months from when I applied to now 8-12 months and I really just need testing. 🫠

Thank you so much to everyone who helped me get to 84%. My rent has been paid but I still need assistance for food for the month. My current expenses are actually above 1k but I'm just focused on getting food and meds now, cant afford my psych. Please help if you can.

I am exhausted all the time and it's rough. I realize a lot of this is burn out and just the result of fighting so hard to get a degree failing to do so and the constant job fight. Did I finally get Disability last year? Yes and now I can eke out a small existence. Great. I don't have time tho.

"It might be a temporary relief to succumb to false promises of turning the autistic kid you have into the neurotypical one you thought you would get—but it would also be a betrayal, because few kids are as in need of clear-headed advocacy as autistic kids." thinkingautismguide.com/2025/07/iden...

The Pokémon Company criticized DHS’s use of its brand in a montage of immigration raids set to the theme song, ending with mock arrest cards. Their former legal chief cautioned the company against suing given many employees are on green cards. What a depressing world 49.7% of voters chose for us.

like telehealth?? i know i do. i can see a doctor for something obvious instead of driving 40 min each way. if you want to keep access to insurance-covered telehealth, call your reps! click thru for scripts and easy access to phone numbers:

Wow - what amazing, fabulous news.

Please do not tell small artists and nonprofits based in the US that you are thinking about abstaining from buying stuff from us because of the Trump administration. We also do not like that guy! You can just...not tell us! It feels like being kicked when we're already down, ya know?

Thanks to yalls help i was just able to pay off $22,000 of this today ;; i still have a bit to go and the monthly payments are still putting me past the red financially but i cant believe the support ive been getting ;; yall are saving my ass. im beyond grateful <33333

Trump says you should “tough out” pain and fever and not take Tylenol He also said you shouldn’t give it to babies Forcing babies to “tough out” their suffering is about as cruel as it gets. It also runs the risk of brain damage, death or disability from uncontrolled fevers

FULL AGREE just adding alt text !

hey folks, its your neighborhood cripple :( i have to see an urgent specialist friday for a possible infection. bc its so last min but not the ER i cant get medicaid to cover transport. if you'd like to donate to help me pay for a $440 gurney transport i'd REALLY appreciate it. venmo: itssvee or gfm

We know Trump is lying when he says Tylenol causes autism, but why? The FDA is set to approve folinic acid supplement Leucovorin to "treat" autism. Over 50% of American kids are covered by Medicaid or CHIP, and states will be required to cover the cost of Leucovorin Guess who sells Leucovorin?
