You have to actually point people to the organizing that you say they should do. Where should they plug in? What is the SPECIFIC organizing that you want them to do? BE SPECIFIC.

I can’t pretend to know what you should do next, but I do know that in moments like this, I can only spend so much time reading everyone’s takes before I have to log off and ground myself in doing something in my local community. I’m hitting that point already, so that’s what I’m gonna do.

At this point, I think we all know what needs to be done and the question is really who is willing to take the risks necessary to do what must be done.

An administration driven by greed, cruelty, and frankly a sort of empty-hearted boredom. The death of innocents so they can beat their chests and line their already fat wallets. Whatever comes next has to at least look like justice. We cannot just turn the page for the sake of one party’s comfort.

Our newest Games For Gaza mutual aid panel is up! We are delighted to present A Jumu’ah Conversation With Muslims In TTRPGs, featuring: @fairouxx.bsky.social @lilithttrpg.bsky.social @nairuz.bsky.social @tallrowlet.bsky.social

It was such a pleasure and a privilege to share this space with these folks! I thank all of y’all for the thoughts, perspectives, and ideas you shared 💚

I am so excited to share our first mutual aid panel of 2026, A Jumu’ah Conversation With Muslims In TTRPGs. This is genuinely my favorite ttrpg-related panel I have ever watched, and I hope you will consider carving a little time out of your day to engage with it.

I cleared out of Twitter a while back, and since then I've heard some understandable reasons people stay and reasons that are just bad. to me, the most baffling one is "Bsky is a sanctimonious neoliberal website." and it's like, okay, but dude. buddy. you're posting in a Nazi bar.

despite 2025 being a year of many collective horrors and a hard year for me in the ttrpg space, I otherwise personally had a great year. I’m surrounded by beloveds who love me, I have two jobs I love, I encountered many cool and kind people, I studied two languages. I hope for more of that in 2026.

tb brutally h, my year (really my last 1.5 years) in ttrpgs is summed up well by the fact that I’ll feel excited about posting something like a year-end meme and then when I consider actually asking ppl for their opinions of me I start feeling like I’m gonna have a panic attack and I have to Log Off

there are some great shows that I love in the final audio fiction world cup rankings, but there is genuinely, truly, no show in all the ttrpg space that I would rather A Haunting, Beloved (@numinousprod.bsky.social) be in conversation with than @talesyettold.com: 2048 AM Voices in the Wood.

my spouse, who works in tech, has had some pretty wild pitches from/experiences with companies who want them to work on AI. (they are obv not interested.) my personal fav is the time they told a recruiter the job didn’t align with their personal ethics and this lady had a legit breakdown over it.

I missed the networking discourse, did anyone talk about the fact that during BLM Black creators and academics were reached out to in record numbers and then when we thought we had solidarity it vanished? Which led to many folks suffering representational burn out and distrust for ttrpgs as a whole?

I am having a new and exciting (by exciting, I mean ghastly) flareup of arthritis in my lower back. I thought I was an expert in chronic pain but g-d decided to remind me that I can still be humbled. help me [my rheumatologist], you're my only hope

So grateful to all who have shared and donated to my friend Haneen's fundraiser. Thank you SO much! Right now, I have 2,965 followers on here. I realized this morning that if even half that number of people gave $3, we could fund Haneen's rent for 8 months! So if you can, please chip in a little!

Woke in a social issues context, means Black. Most people, even those quote posting this, are participating in a weird white people redefinition of the term. Because racist/fascist people hate Black people, woke has morphed into "anything racists and fascists don't like." That's disrespectful.

still figuring out if insurance will cover it, but in the meantime it'd mean the world if you'd consider: 1. picking up my latest game "The Vatican Stole the Menorah and We're Going to Steal Back": jumpgategames.itch.io/tvstmawgtsib 2. or a 20% bundle of all my other games: itch.io/s/176257/jum...

Times are tough, and some of my paid subscribers have had to cancel lately due to financial hardships. I get it, and I wish for better times for us all. Unfortunately, paid subscriptions are now dipping into unsustainable territory. I am hoping to get eight new paid subscribers before the new year.

Our goal is to reach 50% of our fundraising goal for the Black Zine Fair by the end of the year. gogetfunding.com/black-zine-f... - If you can support us in bringing the fair to life, we would very much appreciate it.

me? offer up thoughts on cons and networking and friendship? [takes a long drag of cigarette, stares into the foggy distance] how much time you got, son(gender neutral)?

cw: discussion of anti-fatness really feel like the society I live in made a brief and incremental amount of progress towards understanding that being fat is simply one way bodies exist and is not a moral failing, and then that progress got completely erased and we are in fact backtracking.

Project Info: This project is currently unpaid, but stipends of up to $25 may become available. This casting call is open to trans and queer Muslims with an interest in ttrpgs and/or Actual Play. This is an audio-only recording that will be featured as VoiceOver in a short film actual play.

CASTING CALL: Numinous Productions is seeking trans and queer Muslim Actual Play artists to record a few VoiceOver lines for one of our upcoming Actual Play projects. Interested? Please send us an EMAIL at [email protected] for more information.

AP mutuals, please share this casting call with your networks! @fairouxx.bsky.social and I have had the opportunity to work with some wonderful folks for this project, and we would love to include even more trans & queer Muslim artists in our finished short film AP. More info in the quoted thread.

I’m down to reflect and look forward. 2026 Tales Yet Told projects & goals: - Strangers in the Wood 2: Road Trip - Dip back into Video APs - Secure a sponsorship - Secret 2 player series in the Sublime - More non-Sublime stories

2026 for us, if all goes well: - a short film Actual Play centered around queer Islamic themes - a new audio actual play inspired by isekai and a very specific genre of fan fiction - more Games For Gaza mutual aid panels - audio and video collaborations with AP artists and game designers

Bumping the panel again for the Saturday/YouTube crowd! I FINALLY got this to upload on YouTube after... many struggles with censorship. So if you want to hear some thoughts about Anti-Zionist Jewish practice and TTRPGs that YouTube apparently really doesn't want you to encounter, head on over!

this just in: if you want to be a man and have a dog you must personally domesticate a wolf. if you live among them for years, hunting with the pack and eating raw meat, you may earn their trust. if you get eaten you fail. unfortunately those are the rules. I don’t make ‘em, I just report ‘em

Help us spread some mutual aid and education this holiday season by tuning into our newest Games For Gaza panel: Anti-Zionist Jewish Voices In TTRPGs. Featuring: @glitchypixie.bsky.social @davidjoneskrause.bsky.social @jienbirb.bsky.social @dungeonminister.bsky.social

Calling out a fascist for taking a hypocritical position is easy. It's also a complete waste of time. Fascist rhetoric is aesthetics— pathos, never logos. You'll never get anywhere pointing out a fascist's hypocrisy. Fascism is not to be debated, it's to be smashed. Get comfortable using power.

The panel covers panelists' relationships to Jewishness and anti-Zionism, manifestations of Zionism within TTRPG spaces, and anti-Zionist resources for folks wanting to learn more about how to be in solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation. FEATURED FUNDRAISER: Haneen and Bassam ⬇️

So excited about this panel, y'all, and about the relaunched Games For Gaza panel series! If you've been curious about anti-Zionist Jewish folks in ttrpgs, we have a GREAT group discussion here. AND our featured fundraiser benefits my friend Haneen in Gaza (link in second post)! Check it out!

pretty sure YT is actively preventing me from uploading a panel on anti-zionist jewish perspectives for @numinousprod.bsky.social. I've tried multiple times it rejects the video each time. been wanting to shift our video-based content to our Vimeo anyway, and this is a great reminder of why.

the polycule is enraptured by this video, 10/10, need more of this generational talent

I don’t personally celebrate Christmas, but I do uplift it for the Christians at the UU church I serve. What I say is: may this day embolden us to love every child born as if they are the divine itself (they are), as if they will teach us to love in a way that uproots empires and brings peace.

I am in no way trying to be a buzzkill, but one thing I would love to see more of in 2026 are conversations about time, labor, & the fact that artists in many mediums are held to truly unsustainable expectations of pace and output. I'm thinking specifically about ttrpgs, but it applies broadly.

Recently someone asked why I have blue hair, and I told her: I love it AND most people in my (offline) life know me as a religious leader. It is important to me to be the Minister With Blue Hair so that people who would otherwise be alienated from spiritual spaces feel like they can approach me.

I challenge ttrpg consumers to raise nine hundred thousand dollars for mutual aid. if you can afford to pledge $60 for orientalist crap like obojima i know you can do the same for a mutual aid project focused on marginalized artists or people experiencing genocide. time to open those wallets again!

Thinking again about Toni Morrison’s words: “It’s important, therefore, to know who the real enemy is, and to know the function, the very serious function of racism, which is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work. It keeps you explaining over and over again, your reason for being. 1/3

this obojima shit is a really great example of why a lot of people burn out on ttrpgs. there’s so many harmful dynamics on display AND these paragons of white mediocrity get to make money from it? this kinda bullshit is poison to the spirit tbh.

Wishing for your fiction to be mindless, aesthetic consumption is a form of fascism actually. Good fiction should make you think and feel and ask why. That should add to your enjoyment, not take away from it.

I’ve been on sabbatical but I have time today. These people are indeed an embarrassment to the art form of ttrpgs, but they also exemplify so much of what is harmful about this art form and its conventions. This is the height of white foolishness and willful profiting from colonial mindsets.

If you're wondering why creating faceless monsters you can kill without remorse because you feel you *have* to kill something is bad, please read this article I wrote ⬇️ & do read the *whole* article, not just what's available for free. www.rascal.news/ttrpgs-and-t...

My top two fears every time I use a wheelchair in public are: 1. Someone grabbing the chair and violating my bodily autonomy 2. Someone saying shit like this -- "you're faking it" or "you obviously don't have a REAL disability and you should be ashamed" or "you're gaming the system."

it’s my birthday, I’ll make myself a red wine chocolate cake if I want to! and eat it too!

It’s my birthday! I’m well into my mid-30s today, and honestly it’s rad. I love my life. If you want to help me celebrate, do something kind for someone or donate to my friend Haneen’s fundraiser or experience some cool art. Or all three! Thanks for being part of my experience of being human. 💙

I know it's the holidays and things are tight for many of us, but if you can spare a few $ to help my friend Haneen in Gaza make rent this month, it would mean a lot. She needs to raise $500 to be able to stay in her home, out of a tent and the rainy weather. Your support means the world to her!

The genius of Louise Fletcher's portrayal of Kai Winn is how skillfully she did Erika Kirk face.
