whenever i encounter people who say they can't understand shakespeare verses I always send them this clip from the 2019 Shakespeare in the Park production of Much Ado About Nothing

Just ordered the Power Rangers RPG. I'm about to assemble a team of teenagers with attitude!

This xenophobic nonsense illustrates why the government's proposals to restrict settlement rights is not only wrong but politically self-defeating. Has just encouraged Reform to become even more extreme.

This is why it's perfectly ok to fail in games. Failure can lead to way cooler things!

“What radicalized you?” Bro I was told to treat people the way I would want to be treated in kindergarten and it made sense idk what else there is to say

If you're a reporter, please stop referring to RFK Jr and his cronies as "vaccine skeptics." They're not skeptical. Skepticism would be fine. Skeptics look at evidence and can be persuaded. These people are extremist anti-vaccine cranks, and that's how news organizations should describe them.

And Finished! It's time for recruitment. Also featuring some cameos from Patrons & @emergencypowerpodcast.com as Baph (Draconic kobold Witchwarper) and Juniper (SRO AI) meet with potential new crew mates. #Starfinder Check out patreon.com/cosmopunk for more.

When they told me knowing would be half the battle, I thought: "well that's a lot, I'm sure it will be enough!" Now it turns out that the other half is having to DO stuff. Honestly I didn't even want to commit to a whole battle in the first place.

People posting about how they’ve never seen em dashes used before the rise of ChatGPT are really great at telling folks they’ve never read a book before.

it appears that @bsky.app have suspended the account of @jessiegender because a trans person saying "I wish ill on JK Rowling" is against the rules, so let me say with my loud cis voice that I too wish ill on all perpetrators of hate speech against trans people reinstate Jessie, this is ridiculous

Reminder that if you buy merch, watch the shows, and play the game, this is the shit you are helping fund. Any money that goes to the HP franchise goes into the pocket of the a transphobic shit stirrer who will spend it on ways that make trans people suffer.

I just stick "[SOMETHING GOOD]" in the text and figure out that part of the scene - or that entire key scene - later. Momentum keeps up!

Lower Decks deserved so much more time.

My hat off to the artist who, in the Starfinder 2E Player Core, placed this family of militaristic space lizards on vacation. Floral shirts are always in style, regardless of galaxy.

BREAKING: We're suing ICE for unlawfully targeting and arresting people who show up to court for their immigration hearings.

JKR is funding life-destroying legislation. When you license HP and put it on your product, the money you pay to do that is literally ruining lives. This isn't ambiguous, it is direct, measurable harm. I will never give a penny to a company who chooses money over the lives of my friends.

you shall rule immortally over a devastated and depopulated earth. everyone you love will long be dust and ash. for now, you will spend every waking hour with your time-tossed future daughter who is a living testament of the horrors to come. sailor moon:

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked the labyrinth guards which door the other guards would tell me led to the castle

Surprised the writers guild doesn't use alt text so here's that for those interested It is an Utter shame that this is happening and it's clearly malicious in nature, Colbert a great guy whos always kept it honest and made us laugh while doing so (redone to fix a swapped image)

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Every British person on the internet is complaining about you

In the same game, our Warlock summoned Clippy as a familiar to defeat a muscular mallard. If you don't know what Clippy is, ask your mum you tiny infant.

68 years ago today, the Chuck Jones and Michael Maltese masterpiece premiered in theaters. What's Opera Doc? (1957)

Will preach about respecting Pigeons till the day I die. Pigeons are our own pocket sized city dinosaurs!!! We domesticated them to love us and then we abandoned and villainized them. Our little feathered friends deserve kindness.

Keith David’s reaction to receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So deserved! Thank you for your work and impact! 👏

Let the GM give their villain speech.

In the UK, the Labour government is repealing the 1824 Vagrancy Act, a law that criminalised rough sleeping and begging for two centuries. The legal overhaul replaces punishment with prevention, housing support, and health interventions. buff.ly/voBrKtu #ShareGoodNewsToo

I will go to my grave thinking that #StarTrekPicard should have been entirely focused on Picard & Q hanging out in France & eating, drinking, & bickering—sort of like #StarTrek: #TheTrip. Boom! 10 seasons, guaranteed, mon capitaine!

actually unreal how funny this image is

Finished running Lost Mine of Phandelver this week, but wish I'd paid more attention to the final fight, because WOW that was too easy. I think the chaos that ensued at Cragmaw Castle gave the party a much more satisfying end than Wave Echo Cave turned out to be. Definitely adjusting it next time.

To those who think that continuing to engage with Harry Potter isn't *directly funding attacks on trans people*, here you go.

Figured I'd try getting back into making storyboards and animatics again, so here's a little practice run with a mockup of a TV show intro for the Cosmopunk podcast! @cosmopunk.bsky.social #fanart #furry #furryart

Here it is! I had a lot of fun bringing this brilliant post to life!

I'm not sure what's the most graceful way to say this, so bear with me. Some of you have reached out for my thoughts about the planned "Harry Potter" television series set to debut on HBO next year. (long thread)

Horrific though it sounds, this currently appears to be true. If ministers misspoke, now’s the time for an apology and a clarification

resign from the labour party if you are a member

Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Just some basic fact-checking would be nice. Anyway, I wrote about Eostre here: florencehrs.substack.com/p/eostre-pag...

Not sure who made this but thank you because I laughed so much

I do not care if Harry Potter is the one and only thing that made childhood endurable for you. I don't care if it was the one thing that got you through the trauma. I. Do. Not. Care. She is a nazi and she spent £70,000 from her Hogwarts Legacy royalties to bribe a UK court into erasing trans people

Trans women are, and will always be, women. You can’t regulate reality. You can only oppress humanity.
