AFT Local 3535's statement about University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee's merging of cultural centers is very good. Unfortunately I can't find it online anywhere and I'd prefer not to just screenshot a PDF from my email!

TODAY ONLY! You can get Sword Opera for 10 dollars! Did you also know that tenner also gets you three incredible settings to play in, including a beautiful wuxia setting by @bigprawn.bsky.social? 'A Lingering of Lilac' is a powderkeg of courtly drama, clan intrigue, and martial action.

Good thread, also there’s nothing that Rahm could ever do to get me to vote for him

Imagine a world where they don't make a headline of every single one of Quentin Tarantino's stupid thoughts

I saw a conversation recently where someone wished more designers talked about what a touchstone actually means means for a project, how it transforms into the work. This is a lovely look at exactly that!

Come browse the collection in person at our Grand Opening on March 21 in Milwaukee, WI! buff.ly/HR2SKLS

Just finished The Saltsea Chronicles. What a game! An interesting approach to telling stories about community and interconnectedness and restorative justice. Really great characters and engaging mechanics. Highly recommend.

Hey, if you back this collection of Trophy scenarios, then one of the dangerous frogs in my incursion, Pentah's Rest, will be named after you. It won't say so in the book, but you and I will know. www.kickstarter.com/projects/fir...

reset the clock on randos online acting like Apocalypse World shot their dog bc they don't like that it acknowledges the existence of sex between consenting adults

Immersion is not as important as buy-in.

Let's be clear, if you haven't found your *personal* reason to loathe Chris Cocks, be sure that this interview will give you LOADS to choose from: www.theverge.com/podcast/8907... Fuck Hasbro.

You don't get to throw trans people on the pyre so you can stay warm and then get mad when we don't want to burn.

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care BECAUSE my position is immutable

it's bandcamp friday, where all the bands go out and set up little tents in the woods and the bass player kicks their map into the river and a guitarist disappears, but later they find his tongue, I think

Even Steve-O knows that transphobes are fucking losers

Lookit these doofs

There could be a very special stretch goal at $420k to address this oversight...

This is a war crime. In a just world, Hegseth would be brought before an international tribunal, as would everyone in the chain of command down to the torpedo officer in that sub.

I wrote about my #ADHD diagnosis (and mental health) and how it changed my relationship with gaming for the first time since I got diagnosed 4 years ago, for @mothership.blog www.mothership.blog/after-my-adh...

hey @jayisforgenius.bsky.social I found a bunch of Borg Ward fliers by searching my email. They were in an email I sent to you a couple years ago 😂

Gosh. Oh no.

Anyway, like I said, I was shocked at how easy it was for me, a world wide web surfer and occasional electronic mailer, to install and use Linux on my day-to-day personal computer.

this is rad as hell and you should back it! honestly even if you don't play slugblaster the stuff in here is very very cool

this week's post makes the claim that all genuine revolutions are built on the same foundation: local councils that network or federate together to build a larger society. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/all-power-...

All I have to say about that is where lies the strangling fruit that came from the hand of the sinner I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead to share with the worms that gather in the darkness and surround the world with the power of their lives while from the dimlit halls of other places forms t

Listening to @diceexploder.com and it's helped me realize that "draw maps, leave blanks" is maybe the single most formative piece of advice I took and ran with as I was adjusting to PbtA and indie RPGs from D&D.

Fascinating list. I didn't participate, but there would have been some overlap in my own choices if I had. Shout out to Laura Palmer the patron saint of trans women with a film problem

If I play armchair psychologist, our fondness for Laura Palmer is rooted in feelings of a disrupted adolescence and being perceived as one thing, and being another. There is also the ambient threat towards expressions of femininity in his work that I think we feel at an exposed & visceral level

Two things can be true and one a lie

Back to the routine.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

Shit is continuously rough. Down to one income to support my family and drive my car to work/back. Even $5 helps right now. #mutualaid #disabled #gas #rent #food venmo.com/u/rabbitfripp

if your therapist is focusing entirely on distraction and self soothing techniques in the year 2026, consider asking for help balancing "feeling comfortable" with "acting in accordance with my values" if you need help figuring out what your values are, therapy is a great place to do that

Terrific piece on maybe The Pitt's best use of its real-time format

This is not a productive thought but I would like to build hell and put all these fucking freaks inside it.

I feel like usually bad news rolls off me easier than most of the people I know. I tend towards stoicism in the face of this or that new terrible bill. But the news out of Kansas and the prison system are rattling me more than usual, which I'm guessing means other folks are more rattled still.

Going home is so strange. There is a way that the very geography here, the hills and bluffs, the mighty rivers, are nourishing a part of me that I forgot existed.

TYT went fash a few years ago, which was readily apparent front their takes on the unhoused. Homelessness and trans rights are places you cannot give an inch because fascism is lurking right the fuck there

I’m sure this is happening elsewhere, too, but it seems like my state’s conservative legislature has been churning out these bills that deploy CSA victims/the specter of CSA as bait for some flimsily-disguised power play and I! Hate! It!

Current mental status: listening to Hot Water Music's cover of "Bleeder" by Alkaline Trio Send help

Everything is catching up with me. Thankfully I have a five hour drive tomorrow to just sit with it, I guess.
