sentences constructed to deal me, specifically, psychic damage

Look, look at this banger and a half of an ARC due out in July from Feminist Press <3 If this is relevant to your interests and you review or like to gab about/sell books please let me know; I'd love to send you one!

New: the Berwyn/Cicero Rapid Response team is reporting that several dozen federal agents arrived in the Chicago area today, warning community members of a possible uptick in ICE/CBP activity in the coming days.

*that one streamer who looks like he's made of oil voice* being alive situation is insane

game idea: a rhythm game about impact play called Beatable

is there a consensus on how many children ai needs to kill or make porn of before it can get shut down?

just a non-spoilery bit from The Stolen Soirée that i like (grabbing some screenshots)

The OK Boomer: This enemy will attempt to run towards your party and explode. Fortunately for you, since their generation had it so much easier they never had to spend time perfecting their craft. Their explosions cause relatively minor damage: hence, a merely OK Boomer.

gofundme to pay for my bf to quit xir job so xe can come over and squeeze me so hard my entire wretched body cracks like a giant knuckle

less than two hours!

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

you have only 12 hours left to get my ttrpgs at inflated prices as part of my winter anti-sale!

this happened so publicly and overtly that i remember wondering if this would finally be the thing that pushed the american government to take some sort of action against bush. other activists in my circle weren't as naive

I just learned that a fire on New Years day destroyed the entire home of these sweet young friends of mine. If you're a Chicago artist, you've probably crossed paths with Andi Crist and JP. They are such kind people. Please help if you can. gofund.me/47aeea434

congratulations to the anti-porn and anti-sex work groups for helping create an internet where independent adult sex workers have been exploited, ripped off, and then run off and are now being replaced by on-demand CSAM

Up now! Enjoy this tiny collection of video game publisher catalogs archive.gamehistory.org/folder/b1701...

could be the service submissive in me but whenever i accomplish a bunch of domestic chores around my apartment i want to text my boyfriend and receive praise for it

you have less than three days to get my ttrpgs for More Expensive as part of my Winter Anti-Sale! fuck discounting already underpriced games!

wow etsy is all the way broken huh

first, though, the joy of cracking open the new year's hobonichi techo

today i have to do the worst thing you'll ever have to do which is make phone calls to american health care companies to try and avoid dying alone in your apartment

in addition to new year's, my bf and i celebrated another anniversary this week. i don't talk about this aspect of my life on here a lot, but I'm in a really wonderful relationship with someone who is patient and creative and caring and who makes me feel like the most beautiful femme on the planet

playing my ohio boyfriend mta announcements so xe can understand my culture

it has officially been a full decade since i moved to chicago to begin my teaching career. i love this fucking city

a trans woman announced mamdani's inauguration, love that for my hometown

reinstalled lex (the personals- style app where i found my current partner, previous partner, most recent hookups etc) and the vibe there is so tame now. too many people queers posting "a prayer for 2026" instead of "looking for a fat woman to sit on my face"

learned this while working on the original Princess with a Cursed Sword and it's become a load-bearing design principle whenever i do any kind of layout

i'm not listing anything i did this year you don't own me

Did you know that I released a new game this year? Going For Broke is a fast-paced, party roleplaying game that tells sitcom stories about a collective house that's scrambling to pay rent. It's cheap, easy to teach, and takes less than an hour to play. Check it out! buriedwithoutceremony.com/gfb

It's good she's doing this, but what a gigantic farce and an embarrassment for our entire profession that we're forcing a graduate student to waste precious time away from her studies to battle the Republican grievance machine on her own.

i don't know how i ended up with this particular combination of thumbnail image and link on my waterfox start page but it's v funny to me

legitimately my latest zine

the right loooves to fall for a "why i'm quitting the left" grift, but they can't even compare to big tent libs rushing to embrace the most deranged right-wing monsters over any mild criticism of trump

starting getting "grief panic attacks" so that's really fun

marjorie taylor green is a wretched little piece of shit but unfortunately i don't think magic the gathering is much better

if you haven't yet, meet my terrible daughter in this month's Fallen London exceptional story, The Stolen Soirée! art by @misterarendt.bsky.social

this zzt game has a very good bat animation which looks like this: } { } { } { } { }

it's 50 degrees in chicago but it's late december so i'm in my apartment with the air conditioners taped up, the windows hermetically sealed and the radiators on full blast – they're set by the building, of course – waiting for the thirty degree drop in temperature that's supposed to come overnight

reading a lore discussion of my fallen london story on the forums and making sounds like "nwehehe" and "hoohoohoo". shout out to the failbetter crew for letting me take some big swings with their setting

this month's Terrordrome Dispatch (my monthly newsletter) has just gone out, or you can read it at the link below

a new board games with scott video is such a stark reminder of how much worse youtube has gotten in the last several decades
