Episode 50 of the third season of my TTRPG podcast features my first ever published sword and sorcery short from years back, called The Seven-Sealed Flask. It's pretty short as far as audio length goes, so why not take a listen! And we'll be back next week. www.dndpodcast.net/podcast/empt...

You know me I don't share fundraisers unless I can tell you I trust them with my whole heart and my own wallet. This one gets protective gear to legal observers in Minneapolis / Saint Paul www.gofundme.com/f/help-equip...

One of my local radio stations has been looping Jesse Welles's ICE protest song. Listen online for yourself or tune into 105.5 The Moon FM if you are around Salem, Oregon. themoon.fm

They are killing us with funding approved by Democrats. Don't forget that part too.

The number of people who think we can endure years more of this is staggering.

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll shoot you in the fucking face if you don’t cheer them on while they’re doing it.

You can steal a rotisserie chicken and get the ever loving christ kicked out of you, put in jail, lose your livelihood as they deny bail. You can blast someone live on video. And people are gonna form a committee to deliberate if there may be someway to apply the law...

What do you even say about this stuff.

My new short story reads even better on real paper. It's been a real treat getting to hear what folks think of it. My issue, and entire back catalogue, of Savage Realms Monthly is available on Amazon.

A must read book.

My sword and sorcery tale, Black Fruit, is out today in Savage Realms Monthly #41. There's been some heavy weight stories in the last 41 issues, and I'm proud to count mine among them. V.K. Boone's story alone is worth the price of admission and was a really tough yarn to follow. a.co/d/4Apyf05

I did! I stopped qualifying my atheism with quotes from the Bible and knowing their faith more than them. It's a waste and very liberating to just say it like it is to them. Highly recommend y'all do it too. Even better when you can highlight some of the absurdity of their practices.

I produced this album which features grand lyrics about figures such as Emma Goldman, Abbie Hoffman, and the guy who threw his shoe at George W Bush. One of the songs was recorded while we found out Dick Cheney died. It's a fun time. Check it out.

Can anyone tell me what prompt they were using? I can't get any fire on GPT-5 do I need to roll back?

Seems like something got twerked on the YT algo. Was enjoying shorts this time last week and now it's video after video of ai slop that doesn't stop coming no matter how many dislikes I give out or how fast I swipe away.

I'm no purist when it comes to participating in things we all know are bad. I try to reduce my harm but I'm an honest hypocrite. I won't judge you for still using Spotify, just try this rad alternative. I'm listening to music from Dar es Salaam. Where will you listen to? radio.garden/listen/furah...

People should know what we sow abroad we reap at home. When these are the seeds we plant, what kinda fruit are we going to get?

My band, The Monster Addict is coming out of hibernation to pay homage to their 16th revolution around the sun. Loud music hits different when you got actual shit to be mad about youtube.com/shorts/UzfZ1...

PacifiCorp reached a $150 million settlement with 1,434 victims of the 2020 Labor Day Fires. It was a smaller award than previous settlements and far smaller than victims have been awarded by juries, but who may have to wait years for the $$. tinyurl.com/numsaku8

Ah. So either he's a liar. Or a complete buffoon with hardly an ounce of intellect to burden him.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

PSA from 404 Media: you can opt-out of a data broker selling your flight travel data to the government to be searched without a warrant. Here's how I did it. This is ARC, the data broker owned by major U.S. airlines like United, Delta, American, etc www.404media.co/how-to-opt-o...

In late 2020, far right violence was ramping up here in Oregon in tandem with the "stop the steal" nonsense. David Medina, the OR "journalist" who last week embedded w/ Benny Johnson & Kristi Noem, participated in this Dec 21, 2020 invasion of the *Oregon* Capitol Building. bsky.app/profile/seth...
