Maybe I should've called off work. Idk

I have thought about this speech by Kimberly Latrice Jones many times and in many contexts since the day I first saw it. It always returns to me whenever an authority figure invokes peaceful protest. It’s with me again today.

This is probably going to demand a depressing amount of repetition, but here goes. If Renee Nicole Good was a childless foreign national, its still wasn't OK for a federal employee to straight up execute her. Begging everyone to not concede one inch of ground to this toxic framing.

#SayHerName is about BLACK WOMEN. Your organizing should not include coopting terms you don't know the origins and meaning of.

Do not post shit that will get you on watch list Do not sign up for protests- just go Wear a mask if you are protesting No matter how mad you are: Stay safe and stay smart

If you are looking for free art resources and websites that could help you in your art making, I've made a mega-thread just for that! I hope it proves useful to y'all ☺️ zephesartcorner.wordpress.com/art-resources/ #art #artresources #digitalart #traditionalart #artist #skyartist #artistsonbsky

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

I've seen people saying that the ICE murder in Minneapolis will be a turning point, & I very much hope they're right, but please also remember that ICE murdered Silverio Villegas Gonzalez in suburban Chicago in Sept, video & witnesses put a spotlight on their lies, & it wasn't a turning point.

The rush of FINALLY getting an answer to a simple question from a bureaucratic organization

New Year reminder that Public Libraries are COOL and FREE and you should go to yours and get yourself a card. They have all kinds of stuff! Books, wifi, dvds, games and even pots and pans!!

Happy 12th Night, everyone! I'm writing a blog about how the first playtest of MERELY PLAYERS went, and some changes I want to implement going forward and try in the next playtest, but here's the link to the current demo in the meantime... gowanusaurusrex.itch.io/merely-players

A small little bit of both advice and a plea for using Bluesky. This platform doesn't have an algorithm for content. If your default response to seeing something cool is to hit like, take a second to hit the Repost button too. Especially if it's a cool indie product, a show, some art, whatever.

weaving a funeral shroud forever to stave off my 108 suitors' advances... that's how far I'll go for the Odussy

My husband, explaining to me how birds breathe: "I don't trust birds."

This is art.

Every time I hold my four-month-old nephew, I think about how Talia was born just a few weeks before he was, and how different her life has been. There is no fairness in war, but if we can make things even a little easier, we must. Please give what you can. tinyurl.com/SamaasFamily

Progress on the novel manuscript is going well. I really, really want to finish the draft ASAP so I can read it lol. What can I say?? I'm a fan

I hope you see a bird this year.

In 2026: Generative AI is not inevitable. You can say no. You can refuse. You can reject the disgusting lukewarm slop that the richest and worst people in the world are trying to force-feed you. You can tell them to eat shit and die mad. You can break the machine

💾 🐎 When you see a bad take, reply. When your reply cites decades-old posts from forums that don't exist anymore to, gain 💾. When your reply runs off in a random direction that no sane person would connect to the OP, gain 🐎. When you go 24 hours w/o gaining 💾 and 🐎, you lose. You can't win.

As we experience a huge surge of flu cases, a reminder that the widespread usage of masks at the start of the COVID pandemic wiped out a strain of the flu. If you haven’t been masking up lately, now would be a great time to restart.

It's the end of the year and with the end comes some reflection. So what not a better way then to celebrate some of my favorite TTRPGs, Artists, blog posts, and podcast in this TTRPG Wrap Up post for 2025 youtu.be/0vPmrfIkAds

Less than two days left to get the Bundle With Benefits! This is your last chance to support 25 indie queer creators and get a TON of SFW and NSFW content - games, books, comics and more - for a ridiculously low price!

Firm reminder: We live in community with children, not above them.

I had a Lyft driver recently with staggeringly bad taste in video games. Thinking RDR1 is God's gift while RDR2 is mediocre? That's forgivable even if I disagree. Current favorite game is Starfield, personal GOAT game is Skyrim? Less forgivable

Buy Jess' games and help her deal with some nightmarish car problems. You get to enjoy some cool times with your friends AND Jess gets to fix her car with less headache. Win-win.

I dare you to give Kendra $3 ko-fi.com/kendrawcandraw

...And the transcript! bsky.app/profile/aavo...

This analysis + the accompanying interviews feel immediately vital to my evolving understanding of the form. Watch this and Aaron Voigt's other work. I second the idea that Avery Alder put forth about increased ephemerality in the future of indie games. And I thank Pam Punzalan for the advice!!

Remember: block every genAI user and bigot whenever they sneak into your feeds here. Blocking means they'll never be able to see any of your posts ever again, and vice versa! Never engage with trolls; just block 'em and you're all set~ 🎉

Howdy new folks! I’m jelly (he/him) and I am a TTRPG designer, writer, and professional TTRPG Actual Play guy (player & Keeper). Much of my work focuses on memory, melancholy, and finding small joys and hope in bleak circumstances. It’s nice to meet yall, and I hope you have fun here!

My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
