I'm so excited to be playing the kind of character that will make you shake your head in disapproval or groan in despair. Please look forward to it!

Completing our lineup for Red Markets is @cursebreakerelliot.bsky.social as Jaybird, the hustler. Jaybird always knows a guy, and to Jaybird, when it really comes down to it, there's a price tag on everything. And yet, there's another side to him. Perhaps we'll even see it. #ttrpg #actualplay

During PAX East, I got some really terrible news from my mother. Anyone who went probably didn't see very much of me outside of the times I was working a booth, and this situation is why - my family desperately needs my help. www.gofundme.com/f/vpdab-supp...

We're diving back into Oceaneers tonight with more exploration! Let's get into the vault 🔒🗝️ www.twitch.tv/cursebreaker...

Our third Red Markets cast member is @chanelle-lize.bsky.social, playing Mo! Mo is one of the few naturally immune people, and her bone marrow can be used to manufacture the only known drug to stop the zombie blight. And Mo knows that she is worth more dead than alive if her secret comes out.

I hate and love having ADHD because on one hand, I just wrote 3k for an AP running later this year And on the other I did my taxes last night after intending to complete them about a month earlier

We're live with Oceaneers, a new indie game where we have to help our little guys survive as long as possible (and possibly discover some secrets?) 🔴 www.twitch.tv/cursebreaker...

this is also how the games industry works.

🧵 This is how you network as a creator, this is what it means.

We've updated to a metered paywall. Readers without an account can read any two stories per month, and free members can read another two. Details here: (Nothing is changing for paying members!)

I have a stream schedule again! We'll dive into a new indie survival game and then continue to uncover the mystery in the Mount Holly estate. 🔗 www.twitch.tv/cursebreaker...

For anyone in the U.S. who needs to remember this, taxes are due tomorrow (4/15) end of day!! Go git ‘er done!!

"I had no idea that USAID did this kind of work," USAID's chief of staff told our client, former USAID Global Health chief Nicholas Enrich, as he described the agency's life-saving programs. "I just assumed it was just abortions." Which USAID never funded. More: https://ow.ly/PPyh50YITax

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

And here's our second Red Markets cast reveal! @intersectionscch.blacksky.app is Rabie. As a Latent, Rabie was infected, but the zombie blight went dormant in them. Highly infectious. Doomed to rise as a zombie after death. Living a life apart. But there's light at the end of every tunnel, right? 🙂

Remember when Trump threatened to wipe out a whole civilization? And then backed out of that and talked about forming a deal with Iran? And then dropped that and went to a UFC fight as negotiations fell apart? And then unveiled a triumphal arch and a photo of himself as Jesus? That was this week.

It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

I spent far too long on this and could write an entire essay on each of these choices grids.fun/t/about-me-v...

one of many reasons i will never accept abandoning my trans siblings or the broader queer community for the purposes of "a bigger tent"

Time to meet our first player and character for Red Markets! @tayycro.bsky.social is Nyda aka Dewdrop. Once a PhD candidate in immunology, Nyda could have had invaluable skills when the zombie outbreak happened. Could have. But life doesn't always turn out that way, does it? #ttrpg #actualplay

how much money does the marine corps lose

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

Premiering tomorrow night April 10th at 7pm Central Fantastic Realms (Tales of the Valiant) GM: @syntheticgm.bsky.social Cast: @tjspider.bsky.social @mirrrm.bsky.social @improvandrpg.bsky.social @roseblossom2468.bsky.social and @chanelle-lize.bsky.social

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

Coming soon! An 8 session campaign of Red Markets! A game of economic horror five years after the zombie apocalypse, by @hebanongames.bsky.social. With art by @yukitosan.bsky.social. And as for who the people in the artwork are: cast and character reveals start this Saturday! #ttrpg #actualplay

USA folks: reminder that TurboTax is a scam, at least use FreeTaxUSA www.freetaxusa.com?friend=bDjnzd (RIP IRS Direct File)

It's going well!

Come hangout while I do some community service (mentor roulette) tonight! 👑 www.twitch.tv/cursebreaker...

Good morning to all the Dungeon Masters who started DMing because everyone wanted to play D&D but nobody wanted to be the DM, and to them only.

New: 150 unionized ProPublica workers are on strike TODAY over AI, layoff protections, wages, and more. They're asking readers to not visit ProPublica or engage with content on other platforms. It's the first work stoppage of its kind at the newsroom. www.theverge.com/news/908401/...

I am aware of few people as pathetic as Shuck Schumer

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

AI isn’t winning—its marketing is. AI generated “art” is feckless, unoriginal, and… kinda sad. Everyone knows it. Meanwhile, creatives are getting organized. Faced with the slopification of creative work, our purpose is clear: keep on writing. The human resistance has only just begun.

And if it comes and goes and nothing happens, and the apologists say “it was just a threat to get them to buckle, he never meant he’d actually do it,” it is morally correct to punch them in the face.

Casting for this closes THIS FRIDAY @ 10AM! I even made a little task reminder in my calendar so I don't forget. If you wanna play in a Cowboy Bebop AP produced by yours truly apply now! Also if you're interested in GMing a Cowboy Bebop AP but thought "I can't produce an Ap" well Ive got good news!

Again - Brits who are horrified by the actions of ICE in the US should pay attention to the cruelty and violence that their own government inflicts on immigrants here.

With support from both sides of government.

Happy international asexuality day!!! 🖤💜🤍

Happy International Asexuality Day to all my fellow Aces! May your celebrations be as amazing as yourselves and may you always feel valid and loved!

There was once an enslaved man who stole a Confederate ship and sailed his a bunch of families to Union controlled waters & got everyone free. Then he fought as a soldier in the Union Army. Then he was elected to US House of Representatives. Robert Smalls was born 187 years ago today

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!
