This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Sitting a stewing in frustration isn't nearly as cathartic as just designing a poster. Let's see how often I remember that in 2026.

I don’t want to freak anyone out, but tomorrow is another day

I didn't budget for 2026. I thought we'd be dead.

I'm so thankful my health has improved enough, that I can differentiate when I have a bug. Mostly. And like Scrouge, this is getting worse.

One of the simplest truths, purposefully obscured, is that no person is a burden on the state because the state exists precisely to protect, uplift, and provide for the people. This is why we collectively huddle together against the night. So that all may be sheltered simply because they are human.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

It's so weird being black in this space for this and many other reasons.

I missed the networking discourse, did anyone talk about the fact that during BLM Black creators and academics were reached out to in record numbers and then when we thought we had solidarity it vanished? Which led to many folks suffering representational burn out and distrust for ttrpgs as a whole?

The group chief calling out my ability to engage with healthy conflict during an all hands. In trying to demonstrate the power of diversity and teamwork by essentially saying we often disagreed, but they put up with me despite that.

Oh no, that wasn't the actual cold and I got off easy. Was it a precold? Ah, it was a soft opening for the cold! blehhhhhhhhhh

AI bros are the flat earthers of tech bros. You can never make them realize theyre wrong. Theyll double down and pull the most wildest mental gymnastics Spend your time creating, not arguing with a brick wall

The sun was just coming up as I took my first medicine for the day. It felt good. I can't help it, I always lighten a bit when the light returns to the world. We tend to think about winter as dark and cold (it is cold), but it is also when light starts to return, each day after the solstice.

Personal weekend revelations aside, today seems like a good day to post my ko-fi again. Trying to get ahead on my insurance here, so I can continue to focus on improving the channel and my life. Donate if you can! #mutualaid #helpsky 💕💸 ko-fi.com/runia_da_wit...

Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

For the evening crowd. We're running a series of #pathfinder #thirdparty sales through January 5th! Come check out what we've got so far! www.pathfinderinfinite.com/en/product/5...

Got a spare can of cranberry sauce for the Christmas dinner we didn't have, so I'm using it like jello to be soft on my throat.

There's a ton of stuff in here that Ed put the stats in better than I could, so if you got the time it's well worth the read. But this line killed me! "Every part of the AI bubble — this fucking charade — is unprofitable, save for NVIDIA and the construction firms erecting future laser tag arenas"

Does anyone else like, not breathe when you're drawing a long line? Just me? I don't need a steady hand, just stubbornness! Oh, or practice. Maybe lots of that. I'm gonna try that.

Today's Findermas sale is The Ransacked Relic: Foundry VTT Support, where you quest on the path to Highhelm, in a lead in or accompaniment to Sky King’s Tomb AP. www.pathfinderinfinite.com/en/product/5... Next up is Six elemental planes, I wonder what that will be?

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

they have designed these machines to simulate human agents and they are constantly pitching the idea that these machines really *are* agents, but when one of these machines kills a person they say “you can’t hold them to account, they’re just machines, read the instructions”

just a little reminder to myself that as long as i can make the things i want to make, i can worry about making them look good later :] #art #shoebill

Commissions are open! Info and pricing here: 🎨 www.sitaduncan.com Thanks so much :D

Yeah well my buddy already lost his job to artificial intelligence. He was an art thief.

If I had the capital to kit out a small datashack for let's say my town, or some select local / small businesses, that'd be so satisfying. To find the balance point of useful consolidation to sustainability (which is what the point was supposed to be about!!!).

People don’t love all these giant data centers being built, so my wife and I are offering an alternative: a good ol’ fashioned mom-and-pop data store. Small, cozy, a place where we know you by name and offer you a donut and coffee while you check the data of your financial crimes.

You know what would actually help struggling artists? Universal healthcare and universal basic income

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

I sense an influx of people who might be interested in TTRPGs! Check out our starter pack go.bsky.app/HGiNepJ

Why is it that tech and AI boosters keep saying "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" when making arguments about AI's supposed inevitable dominance? Did they not read the story? The genie does, indeed, go back in the bottle. Maybe we should start there.

“There’s a responsible way to use AI” “There’s a responsible way to pay more for electricity, poison Black people, and encourage teens to kill themselves”

It's the 4th day of Findermas and my GM gave to me Four success degrees. And half off Kintargo Courant Issue 2! www.pathfinderinfinite.com/en/product/5... I wonder what my GM will give me for Five Kings Mountains tomorrow? If you can guess, you'll get a free copy of that product!

If you see this post a random fact about yourself: I worked as a textbook reader in college. Which means one term I quasi audited organic chem :o

It’s the 3rd day of Findermas and my GM gave to me Three focus points! ... with half off Gundrun Broadsheet ...where amid the news of gundrun outpost a new playable God Caller arises, as a class archetype of the Animist. www.pathfinderinfinite.com/en/product/5...

Age of Imprisonment made me realize missed opportunity. When Zelda went back in time in breath of the wild, why didn't she meet another Link? That'd mess with her. Heck, why didn't she meet another Zelda?!?! Please tell me AO3 is on this already?
