Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist. Embarassing.

trying to raise 90 more to extract my friend Risa from a homeless situation on Sunday. I'll drive but my finances have been tied up in bills and now Trump regulations cost me food stamps (appealing). donations go to her so i can handle myself ko-fi.com/shrikepublis... $robinvbelle @shrikerobin vnmo

Also I rather suspect the academic achievement gap - boys now trail girls substantially in the aggregate - has a lot to do with these sorts of attitudes pushing male teachers out of primary school education. It is bad and false to tell boys and men that they aren't and cannot be nurturers.

The UK Trans Experience: you can be arbitrarily included in a lawsuit that has nothing to do with you, be included in national coverage and have dozens of articles written about you, be found innocent of everything and still have journalists follow you to different countries to call you a pervert

Having a very "I wish everything on transphobes that they wish on us" kinda day today.

happy second day of #lesbianvisibilityweek!

God Hates Elves

of course elves don’t have souls, that’s why it’s okay to eat them

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost about one of the weirder parts of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons! Since seeing Gary Gygax casually mention that elves didn't have souls a year and a half ago, I've wondered WHY!?!?!?!? magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/04/the-...

New yuri oneshot about a butch butcher who has a side gig disposing of corpses. Ohhh my god dynasty-scans.com/chapters/if_...

A Re/Introduction:

*writing an essay for class* Man, I'm hilarious

Why was I invited to Beast Studios? youtu.be/0dwagg5wYY4

<getting railed> idk i don't feel like this is revealing anything about the plot

Fortnite Battle Pass... I just shit Out my ass...

New phone doesn't have a headphone jack I hate the future

Getting into multi-player games as an adult is weird because I think I just had the first time someone called me the n-word over text chat.

*Missing my girlfriend dearly voice* It is a good thing we have social lives outside of each other, it is a good thing we have social lives outside of each other...

Not all money is good money. A current MSCS board member who's running for the Shelby County Commission (home of #Memphis) has taken campaign contributions from an xAI employee and sponsored the schools taking Musk money for infrastructure. Me? I'm going to get him out of our town instead.

From the brilliant mind of Magnolia Keep comes a high-octane blogpost where I share the most BROKEN class in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons! It's not wizard, fighter, or even Elf, but rather a fanmade alternate take on the ninja that's good at making maps. magnoliakeep.blogspot.com/2026/04/ad-m...

The new Tomodachi Life is the first time since Zelda that I've thought "I should get a Switch."

As someone who has experienced the Australian internet age assurance law for a while now, I’m now more sure even than I was previously: this is putting children in greater danger

Exactly one year ago today:

As much as the financing of AI makes me feel kind of grim, none of it quite compares with AI’s power to reveal just how much of modern business is just absolute bullshit built on bullshit. Which would be funny, except I like getting paid.

I think if I ever make another investigation centric ttrpg i'll start with a Rule Zero that your characters are always smarter than you, the player and see how that helps skill rolls, investigation feels like one of the harder dissonances to solve in our current player-character-gm-world paradigm

I am once again thinking of Masks

"La Huella del Oro" (Rastro do Ouro), the first Argentinian animated series by Adult Swim & Cartoon Network, is now streaming in Latin America on HBO Max. hbomax.com/ar/es/movies...

Sometimes it's weird to think I have a suffix I could use. Like...I'm Liz Lastname, MA technically. It's odd.

A real tragedy of mainstream ttrpgs is that playing effectively coincides with characters functioning supertextually in sync, which usually does not make for interesting storytelling.

the womb tattoo on walter white's stupid forehead - which i took the trouble of putting the fucking kingdom hearts logo in, and described as a "sapiosexual tramp stamp" - is really just too much for me. I think I went too far. Every time I look at it I start seeing stars

angel is sick! and needs funds so they can get a motel for the night. maybe a couple nights. and food and things! please contribute if you're able! and always share!

I think "The Drama" is the first time I've walked out of a theater.

Okay so you might see this video with the audio muted. Now imagine how the music must sound like. I urge you to unmute and listen to what it's actually like because I guarantee you you're not prepared for it.

the devil just blinked

i’m not being mean or anything like congrats to everyone but i met one of these women and how poor and ruined her life was after she freshly fled in her car. her nerves were shot. she’s one of the people that made this possible, and she’s forgotten and unheard from

very good post!!! RPGs have a ton to learn from urban design! also, if you're a sicko radical theory pervert and Frederick & Mehta / Marohn / Jacobs / Speck / Alexander aren't enough, you should read James C Scott's SEEING LIKE A STATE

Been getting a lot of use out of this one lately

This week I put on my witch hat to take advantage of geometric mage progression. Episode 6 of Rose Playing Games is out!

Here for the first time in over a decade, we present Shawn’s final three Stella Starchild pages, posted in the fall 2014. After these pages were posted, Shawn would disappear from the internet - and, from what we know, society at large - for about two months.

I luv da movies

It's AI week in my tech core class and I am wailing and gnashing my teeth.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

I realize one is not supposed to say this in politics, but it is just clearly the case that 77,302,580 voters have blood on their hands for this, bear real, moral culpability for deciding that it was a good idea to put idiot Fox News Grandpa back in power for [reasons].

One of the funniest things about earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons, particularly through the old Dragon Magazines I'm reading right now, is the obsession with "NPC Classes" that have nothing but PC-facing abilities. Like bro you're the GM you can just say the NPC does whatever.
