There’s an increasingly rare type of longform journalism I appreciate, which is a methodical unpacking of the catastrophic systemic failures behind a particular tragedy. Langewiesche was particularly great at this; the below is one such piece.

wasn't expecting my players to poach up some stirge eggs, but maybe I should have. #13thAge

1000xRESIST IS 40% OFF GO FUCKING PLAY THIS SUPERLATIVE WORK OF SCIFI store.steampowered.com/app/1675830/...

The latest episode of Philosophy Tube is about conversion therapy, why it’s still legal in the UK, and the ways the British government is implicated in it making it NHS policy. Proud to expose this stuff ✊ youtu.be/_S5w18sjYLk?...

The Conquest of the Holy Land story has done untold damage over the centuries-- including now, as it's used to justify the intensification of the West Bank's ethnic cleansing. But what if we've been reading it wrong all along? Proud to share a brilliant new take from @ddelgadovive.bsky.social:

this is why direct support is a million times better, but people get real fuckin weird about it. fundraising for a charity is a valiant thing to do, but paying for someone's housing or transition or well-being is icky. recommending someone for employment is going too far.

I talked with @prisonculture.bsky.social, Alison Macrina, and Katie Clark about libraries as public infrastructure, contested political terrain, and spaces of possibility—and about what it means to fight for them in this fascistic moment.

incredible animation work in Eclipsium.

it would mean a lot to see people submit "HELLPIERCERS" by Sandy Pug Games to the TTRPG category here! forms.gle/PvUznNszbhri...

We've had nearly 40 ballots submitted so far, thank you for your interest! If you haven't voted yet, there's still plenty of time left to get in there and root for favourite bit of indie transfem fiction from last year 👀

Fundamentally changing how the notes and reblogs system works on tumblr. The consequences of which will mean larger more high-traffic blogs will see their note counts explode and small blogs will see nothing. www.tumblr.com/tumblr/81125...

Hello! We are a new, independent, and experimental award dedicated to the recognition of transfeminine excellence in prose, TTRPGs, and visual novels. Here's an introduction to what we are about: indietransfemaward.wordpress.com/2026/03/16/i...

Within just a few hours of this morning's genocide warning from the Lemkin Institute, the 4th Circuit ruled that trans adults can have our care banned and be forced by any means to "appreciate our sex", and Iowa made it ILLEGAL to protect trans people. www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/p...

OH OKAY SO WE'RE JUST CALLING OUR SHOTS NOW ARE WE??

Finally, I can connect with the youths

I just want to say as a non-American watching the United States from thousands of miles away with a pair of binoculars, it appears to me that this is a cyclical occurrence that transpires every two months.

The finale to "Yes, Madam!" Has some of the meanest fucking spots I've ever seen in a movie. The way Michelle Yeoh and Cynthia Rothrock just beat dudes into every hard furniture edge they can find is immaculate

If you're there, you can snag two things that I wrote! (Layers of Unreality and Into the Riverlands) Not to mention about a thousand other fantastic zines from fantastic creators.

What 1000xRESIST is not: ❌ a game with combat ❌ an emotionally cozy game ❌ a quick story What 1000xRESIST is: ✅ a doomed yuri simulator ✅ a game that will break your heart (& maybe not put it back together) ✅ a story you won’t forget anytime soon Get it for 40% off! ⬇️

Did you know that you can tattoo the code for the TI calculator version of Tetris across two full sleeves, assuming 8pt font? The more you know.

Check out a short, free preview of the Mushishi inspired ttrpg I've been working on!

**NEW POST** LLMs hallucinate, & they hallucinate WORSE on topics we don't already know/write a lot about. This creates a huge accuracy gap. This week I tested ChatGPT on Beethoven & Smyth to show how big this gap is & why it matters. It made up a LOT. leahbroad.substack.com/p/chatgpts-a...

It seems all Kansas-issued trans drivers' licenses are invalid, effective tomorrow It is now illegal for trans people to drive a car until they surrender their license at a DMV (that most will need to drive to) and have it reissued with the wrong gender marker This was never about woman's sports

Absolute shocker of a rights grab - academics may want to push back hard

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something. www.ign.com/articles/tun...

THE GREATEST ADVICE OF ALL TIME. IGNORE YOUR THERAPIST DOCTOR LAWYER AND WRITE ROOMS IN PAIRS.

History is not just about the past. It is about the present. It is about the future. Eighty-four years ago today, my grandparents and great grandparents were unjustly declared illegal citizens and were incarcerated by the US Government, entirely based on race. #scrubnothing

Pulling the idea of "cyberpunk-esque" out from several days ago because I wanted to expand on that: What is the intended vibe of NULL_SPACE, exactly? 🧵

I talk a lot about logos and branding/visual identity design as a service but I haven’t really gone into what those are. So what is the difference between the two and why should you, as a game publisher, care? This will probably be a blog at some point but for now it’ll be a (short?) thread. 1/?

My elementary, middle and high schools were all hit, and I don't really know the results of those attacks because there's not really anyone around but my parents to report it. My parents whose car windows were smashed along with the whole neighborhood. We need reporters out there.

We've finally come full circle. People are longing for less chatter dialogue in their games by referencing ocarina, a game that people consistently complained about Navi being too talkative to the point of it being a meme for 20 odd years.

what if …

Voting on round 1 ends *tonight*, don't wait!

PornHub’s new VDay map is bleak. Age verification laws have done so much damage

Re: Discourse. I'll box your ears in with a lead pipe.

Been playing this for review. As a South African, I am so glad it's out soon. Not only is it a fantastic heist game, but it's genuinely educational, balancing celebrating Africa's history with righteous condemnation of colonialism. My full review will be up later this week. Well done @nyamakop.co.za

eat the bigots totes are sold out unless you want the display …

This game is so good, I wrote my first ever Steam review to praise it. It's phenomenal.

this fucking RULES holy SHIT

One of the really fun parts of designing #MONSTERGUTS2e was adding references to all of the different monsters. The Avis Americae, for instance, quotes and misquotes lyrics from The Star Spangled Banner. #MG2e #ttrpg #indiettrpg #ttrpgdesign

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️❤️❤️ Especially to the Monster Lovers out there Prints and mini prints available #art

While I appreciate that #Affinity is now available for free, I sure wish I could still buy the v2 licenses. I really appreciate knowing I'll always be able to use software I use for professional purposes, and the free license does not make that guarantee.

Hey! I had trouble adding a banner that looked as I wanted in bsky, so I made this template in case someone else needs a bit of help too. These measures look good on my pc, phone, and iPad, but there could be some pixels off, I am not sure.   I hope it helps! 🌸   #blueskybanner #banner #bskybanner

That's how you do it. You spell out exactly how it's going to go down and that you understand what you're here for and let them sit with it after. This kid rules. I hope your parents know it too.

If you hate ICE, love games but are maybe short $10, DM me. I'll gift you the bundle as long as you promise to write a comment/review for at least, say, three of the games in this bundle. These creators deserve some attention for their generosity. Right now, I can do three gifts.
