Tweet from ‘Gregory Mammal-Friend’ (@cat_beltane): “america is good at blasting off its own dick with a shotgun and as a yank i am utterly fascinated by britain's ability to carefully place its dick in a drawer and slowly but firmly push it closed for two years straight” 11/03/2019, 00:21
Well, er… happy seventh anniversary to this tweet, I suppose
Slightly weirded out now about how many times this film has come up this week.
What's your favourite TTRPG that is free, only a few pages long, and has a GM?
Oh I definitely meant the strangers. Haven't encountered the jokers yet. Feels odd when the fool is right there but I'll be interested to see the purpose
Woop woop! 💪💪💪
Which is to say, I’m unbelievably thrilled to say this morning I’ve signed a contract with @mitpress.bsky.social for the trade publication of my next book, an exploration of the first two decades of TTRPG Actual Play.
But yes. I could take some channelling
I mean, what I need and what I'd actually attend are quite different (what I need: daily check ins, what I'd do: gremlin skill share)
Got my copy of Royal Blood and immediately annoyed that @gshowitt.bsky.social has successfully added cards to a standard tarot deck that I actually want to be there in all decks. A Stranger in each court makes so much sense to me, as a reader.
God though I could do with someone saying this to me sometimes.
I am still waiting for my hair to go grey
I'm pretty sure I first decided I needed to transition on seeing someone very cute on a train with grey curly hair and fabulous tits and just being......that could be me though.
If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice
My concern is I can't see an app and I'm unclear if I can stream the ppv to my pal's big screen for PPVs. But once I figure that out (and actually later as I've already paid for revolution) I'll v happily jump over I imagine. Will be great to have ROH again.
I mean this feels tame compared to the number of physical demonstrations of 'knee deep in the passenger seat' the Chappel fans have been doing. Though I guess nobody is firing up the crash test simulations yet. (To my knowledge.
Cover of (I must remain) The Glad Cowboy, by me. It's a freeware bit of cowboy art with a smiling emoji over it.
I just released another short ttrpg zine.
(I must remain) THE GLAD COWBOY is storygame where one player plays a Glad Cowboy and the other player plays The Repressed Horror At The Thing They Did. #ttrpg #indiettrpg

Medical transition for trans kids is now banned for new referrals on the NHS. Trans kids in the UK can still go private or DIY (for now).
This means the new clinics that replaced GIDS are close to useless at best, conversion therapy at worst. 1/5
Making conversion therapy the official NHS policy for trans youth
one of my favorite moments of TNG is when Picard is immediately unable to contain his horse autism
Absolutely. I suspect they believe their motivations are elsewhere, but they're taking hostile actions, covering up the harms they're causing, and pushing dangerous narratives. It's pretty straightforwardly true.
5. None of this particularly encounters prosaic ideas like "economy", "capital", "labour", "markets" in the way that they used to be understood. Supply? Demand? Neither have anything to do with the will to power that is the root of this ideology.
3. When deciding who to fund rich people prefer obvious sociopaths who have the disregard for social goods that are needed the for rich to remain rich.
4. It doesn't matter if the sociopaths don't have a functioning product now or in the future. They affirm the rich are rich through force of will.
1. Rich people don't really know what is good or bad, and don't like the idea that they are rich because of freak of birth inheritance or luck with market.
2. So rich people like to obsess over the idea that potential for being rich is genetic rather and innate in personality not inherited.
Okay. Yeah. I see the vision. But we know I'm not nominating that. Can I trust it'll make its way in? This is where my fear lies.
But that's not the fun answer
They're so good!!!
I'm already deciding between about eight space disco bangers for my own nom, with two key contenders. Trying to decide if it's more important to be in Norwegian and normalish (but about moustaches) or an absolutely twisted 'cover version' that will put off as many people as will fall in love with it
So I understand it my current role is to drum up some banger nominations for Norwegian tunes that undeniably out France the French, out Senegal the Senegalese and out Irqbolsur the Irqbolsurish. So get on it, Norway fans.
Come on Norway!
Okay but I only actually know the Norwegian space disco from like a five year period, so unless I get a lot of help I'm working a very predictable formation.
