the truth, revealed

expressionism in tabletop games wait for me. full recovery from concussion is not too far

there’s something very funny about getting your first ever concussion as an adult. i should have gotten my first concussion as a 10 year old little league shortstop and instead i’m a 21 year old stage manager

i’m gonna have such a good time with jay’s expressionist games stuff when i’m able to read and process information

super interesting that bsky has suspended the accounts of two prominent trans women this week, both of whom were critical of known transphobes and used fairly tame language. it's probably nothing.

Roll20, which owns DriveThruRPG, told Rebel Scum's designer (@9thlevelgames.bsky.social) that allowing their "hateful content" and political speech on its platform constituted a "slippery slope."

We need to build some real social stigma around being afraid of cities. You don't have to like them or live there, but a politics built this strongly around watching TV and going "ewww" is embarrassing, and people should be embarrassed by it. It's like "fear of werewolves" being your top issue.
