I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once. And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.

It doesn't matter how despicable a person is, mocking their innate physical appearance is always wrong. Not because it's cruel to them, but because it perpetuates the harmful idea that innate physical appearance has anything to do with one's character / beliefs / actions.

I'm often frustrated by how a lot of left-leaning, otherwise class-conscious D&D 5e enthusiasts will take any criticism of their favourite game as an excuse to dunk on Indie developers. Coming to the defense of a big corporation while punching down on small creators is *such* a rotten look.

WotC gets much of its player/costumer retention through sunk cost fallacy. Many Indie TTRPGs aren't that complex or weird, but getting into D&D 5e (either as a player or as a GM) is so taxing, daunting and expensive that a lot of players just assume learning other games is gonna be a chore, too. 🧵

Remembering that I can always relisten to the Kingdom game is a gift. It's so good. It's so funny. It's so devastating. It sets so much up to rip your heart out later.

If you're taking to the streets to protest today, know your rights.

Also remember there is no algorithm here. Your quote-posts to dunk on them are helping them out when they can't game the system like they do on other platforms. Don't make their jobs easier for them. Just block and move on.

It's so powerful to make up SFF names by taking a real name and changing one singular letter.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

A little message from our CEO and founder @andyhunter777.bsky.social ahead of Anti-Prime:

Legendary Trans Activist Miss Major Has Been Hospitalized With Sepsis. Here’s How to Help

Greta Thunberg: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me. But that is not the story. What happened here was Israel… continuing to worsen and escalate their genocide and mass destruction with genocidal intent, attempting to erase an...

Give folks their flowers No, I mean right now. Go tell someone you loved their work right now. They're on social media just say it, it has never been easier "They know how much people love--" no they don't go say it right now to a composer or artist or game dev or writer or anyone AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

So many retellings of folklore that miss the mark is because their authors think the same way plagiarists act; they don't respect the source material, they think they are better than, they don't want to understand or believe that people of antiquity were as intelligent, with as rich interior lives

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

I hear *someone* is having a sale next week. I guess they have to try and recoup some of that $2.5 billion they’re forking over for *checks notes* being deceptive? Who would’ve thought? Feels like Oct 7 & 8 will be prime days to support independent bookstores. 😌

This. Fuck Brandon Sanderson. Fuck all tithing Mormons. Especially the ones tithing millions.

THANK YOU, FARMERS! We started as a small Indonesian studio with a simple dream: to create the farming game we always wanted. Today, that dream has grown beyond what we imagined—thanks to you. Seeing so many share this joy leaves us deeply touched. Your support and community mean the world. Thanks♥️

you can spin literally any sexual image as noncon or dubcon if someone dislikes you enough and wants your account banned. that will only be used as another tool ppl can use for harassment, not keeping blsky a sexually safe space

I don't think all nsfw content is default value neutral and I wish more people thought critically about what they got off to, just as I wish more people thought critically about everything they consume, but I'm still 100% against anything approaching censorship because I have pattern recognition.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Some indie game, webcomic, podcast or whatever. And that support even if it's just attention can literally save lives. In a state of constant despair, knowing something they did mattered to someone, if nobody got me somegal75 got me can be what gets someone through a day.

Inescapablely in people's lives, their friends are all in love with trans characters made by trans people it becomes infinitely harder to start opposing trans people cuz they become woven into their heart. Take some of that energy you have for big main stream stuff and use it to be as jazzed about

You do all the things, you still feel like your not doing enough for trans people, what do you do? My answer that costs very little is engage Trans Art in particular indie trans art. Engage being more then silently partake but talk about, discuss, review, share. When trans people are

The idea that “the civil rights act was a mistake” is a mainstream conservative position we can only tolerate but “defund the police” is a great cancer that must be excised from America for Democrats to win is the actual reason Democrats lose. Sorry.

Anybody surprised by Disney’s actions need to get a grip. They’ve been cutting LGBTQ storylines out of projects for years. They have been appropriating cultural myths and turning them into Disney IP for decades. They have never been the good guys.

And IF you're willing to go to jail for what you believe in, great! But don't make it EASY for them. Don't make it easy for them to *track you down after the fact,* get you fired, out you to people who might put you at risk, or get you arrested OUTSIDE of the protest.

Registering for a protest is part of the whole "complying in advance" schtick we try to warn people against. You're ALREADY putting your ass on the line by going to a protest! That's why people advise you to not wear identifiable designs, cover tattoos, leave your phone at home or in a Faraday box.

Andor, a Disney+ show about resisting fascism, just won 5 Emmys. Three days later, the network caved to it.

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

"We're going to have to learn to live with [radical right wing demagoguery with all its associated violence]" is: - An abdication of responsibility. - An abandonment of hope. - A position only available to those who feel safe enough with an ongoing catastrophe to begin the work of normalizing it

The Comstack Act required the US postal service to remove "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" materials, which impacted the capacity for bookstores to sell erotica, porn, and basically any queer paperbacks that didn't involve one or more gay characters dying

"Dead game" discourse has twisted people's minds into thinking that if a game doesn't have 100k CCU, it's basically dead and you shouldn't play it. This basically only benefits the biggest games in the world, because it creates a narrative that only popular games are worth playing.

this is soft, dude. this is really, really soft. a few years back, Frank Tieri threatened another critic and myself with violence, directly, at a comic-con over Batman opinions. That dude kept his job. He slid into my DMs with a fake apology. C. Kirk called for extermination. A joke didn't kill him.

done! SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS COMIC UGH
