Something I can't stand is watching a YT video, being invested, devoting my attention to the speaker, and then they segue into a fuckin sponsorship ad mid-paragraph. I haaate it, feels like I'm being tricked more than usual. Is it part of your contract that you can't say "and now for an ad break"?

And the people one goes to for safety will mock you if you point out the signs in *their* community. Don't ask how I know this.

Black autistic women live at the intersection of racism and ableism. We don’t lack courage to unmask we lack safety. And that truth needs to be said out loud.

This is only related in a sideways manner, but: the story of any small slice of humanity is the story of humanity, just boiled down and distilled. So: In 2020, we had a lot of conversations about harassment at SF/F conventions, and Isaac Asimov came up several times.

"Heimdalsgate like a Promethean Curse" is technically five, but I can forgive of Montreal.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

oh wow a stream schedule, so late into the week? guess im one of those cool streamers who dont care about being punctual or anything 😎🤙 ((very much care about being punctual if you're 1 minute late to a meeting with me i will assume you hate me / you died / both)) #update

"Solo TTRPGs with AI" aren't solo; they're duet games with the world's most sycophantic GM.

Creating a better future starts with imagining that one can exist — and to work towards that, Trans Joy Jam is returning this year! 💕 Make a game or piece of media dedicated to trans or gender-queer joy. Sign up here: itch.io/jam/trans-jo...

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index. We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere. Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing. Blog post with details: blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01...

There's a big TTRPG raffle supporting the Minnesota Freedom Fund here: tiltify.com/@jesthehuman... (fuck ICE)

Just saw someone unironically refer to this as Homodachi Life: Living the Woke and... I think I love it??

wait till they hear what you have to say about Reform

WAAIT I JUST REALIZED MY CAT IS NAMED TIGGER AND I'M WINNIE I'M THE POOH BEAR

You have finite time and energy to deal with bullshit, and adulthood is figuring out which battles to wage versus it. There is no easy heuristic for this, so allocate time for fatigue.

A little sneak piece of my piece for the @transopzine.bsky.social zine!! Pre orders close on the 1st, so grab your copies while you can! All of the art is absolutely fantastic

does anyone have any recommendations for two player, letter writing ttrpgs? i am trying to start a little collection :>

kill the voice in your head that says you’re not allowed to be happy until you’ve done X or achieved Y fuck that guy

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

you open the design document for my next game and the first page is just this

At an appointment today, a doctor attempted to disguise their attempted AI use as "a tool that will help me record notes". Expect pivoting from the term AI, and don't let them get away with it.

jodthecod.itch.io/sessionmap2026 "This is a challenge for 2026 to play 37 sessions in a single year, and in doing so make a hex map in the process." Oh this is such a cool idea! I play so many TTRPGs that I would quickly overflow the map, but I love the visual aspect of this.

being 13 during the GW bush years and watching so many rotten adults around me lecture me on why I should stop worrying so much and that it sounds worse than it actually is while getting basic facts wrong put me in a state of political anger I haven’t gotten a chance to exit yet in my entire life.

Have no idea if this is correct (only have absorbed Japanese through osmosis over the past quarter century and some dictionary look-ups), but... 春よ来い 必然的に アイス溶ける

Today I just learned and cannot unlearn that Symphony No. 5 by Beethoven is Opus... 67. Sorry for the infohazard, but it might be better to dwell on this than anything else today.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

the woke mob is giving He-man pronouns

If every Democrat voted NO on funding ICE, it would not have passed the House. But, 7 House Democrats voted to fund Trump's lawless, masked goons, so it passed. Hakeem Jeffries refused to whip his members to vote against ICE funding. Genuinely unforgivable.

A harsh truth about every major mainstream media property for at least the next five years is that AI will have been used at some point in the production process. Outsourcing, a lack of clear policy otherwise, and schedules have conspired to make this inevitable. Buy indie, if you buy at all.

Ayyyy this is what a clearcut violation of ethical research principles looks like. I've taken more than the usual number of research ethics courses and every single one of them emphasized that you cannot ethically withhold a known beneficial treatment as part of your research - let alone using KIDS

i'm going to try this for my creative streams!! ✨

I attended a shakuhachi panel at a con and all I got was this lousy urge to connect VCV Rack to a game controller to express my laments.

MINNESOTA: Friday is a statewide day of non-violent moral action and reflection. That means no work, no school, and no shopping — only community, conscience, and collective action. Plus, there will be a peaceful march and rally in downtown Minneapolis: iceoutnowmn.com

Super excited to watch Char's Counter Attack for the first time!

I think the majority of people over a certain age just think of it as inevitable and shrug. It sucks. I've seen it happen to multiple creative individuals.

Have to do this with one of my solo games (not DND ew)

If America makes it through this, anyone who murmurs platitudes about "binding up the nation's wounds" must be drummed out of public life. They tried that after the first phase of the civil war, and it just led to where they are now. The cancer must be excised and destroyed. Nothing else will work.

We finally found a place and will move in by the end of the month! if you'd like some rad art, please consider commissioning me to help cover moving expenses (as well as stuff for my twin's upcoming wedding uaaaa) <3 <3 link is also to my tip jar as well!

CALL FOR SOLO TTRPG REVIEWERS: My new fantasy ttrpg will be released next Thursday. If you professionally review ttrpgs then I'd love to offer you a free copy of the game in exchange for a review. Not a stream or video necessarily, but as a comment on the game page. Comment in you're interested.

New pfp for the new year~ #art

I slow down *one* PC in a LANCER module, and after a night of restless sleep, and subsequently, I am trying to figure out if I can hack FATE to have a less give-and-take metacurrency system for several hours...
