the capitalist ghouls are responsible for building the torment nexus, but people who have internalized the idea that all technological progress is inherently good completely fail at criticizing the torment nexus because, end of the day, they think it's good
nothing you've ever been told (or made up on your own) about iran, iraq, palestine, syria, lebanon, afghanistan, the entire MENA/muslim world could ever excuse what america's done. and israel and all their grotesque, complicit allies. they were founded to do exactly this and can't fall soon enough.
Imperialism is a death machine that seeks to assert white supremacist and fascist control over the world. It cannot be reformed. We must uproot the very structure of the U.S. military and its accomplices in our collective struggle for liberation.
No war in Iran.
No western imperialism.
the party that wants to require ID to vote abruptly invalidating a thousand people’s IDs overnight seems like a pretty giant flashing red light
I restarted the Twilight Mirage season of Friends at the Table, and convinced my partner to listen with me. He's not normally a big Actual Play person, but he's slowly been getting into more AP content, so I'm hoping the characters and world will draw him in here.
Work has been so draining recently that I haven’t had the energy for anything.
I finally broke that by making a Valentine’s Day custom script for my Blood on the Clocktower group. We’re gonna play it on the 15th, and getting back into thinking about that balance was really helpful. I’m excited.
I am also learning some basic engineering with Arduino to up my LARP game both with my costumes for the VtM games I'm in as well as for props when I run games myself. That's been a lot of fun!
I am bad at updating social media... I remembered my BlueSky exists, so this is my "oh shit, I should post" update.
I am working through some one shots I plan on publishing and putting out into the world, so that's fun and exciting. (1/2)
Believe victims does not only apply to white women.
If you call yourself an ally, you have a responsibility to educate yourself on the history of racism/white supremacy and how it harms PoC today, and to actively oppose it wherever you find it, including within yourself. And if you're a white person, it's DEFINITELY within yourself. 2/3
BREAKING: President Trump signed an executive order threatening to override families with transgender youth and shut down access to gender-affirming care for trans people under the age of 19 nationwide.
This order will not take immediate effect, and we will not allow this policy to stand.
If you are feeling afraid in this moment, that's valid and reasonable, but let's address our fears constructively together. This podcast episode is a valuable resource. It would make a good listen today.
Do not dunk. Do not quote-post. Do not screenshot and repost.
They wish to be visibly cruel because it makes them feel big and strong.
Block them with the most powerful block button we've had on social media to save yourself the energy, and save others from the garage being spread
Your LA friends are not okay, even if their homes are intact, even if they have evacuated to safety.
Too many of their friends, colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones are hurting for them to be okay.
But they surely do appreciate you asking anyway. ❤️
The best girl!!
We're three days and a few hours away from revealing this year's TTAF Actual Play Grant selections! Watch live, and you'll also be the first to know which guests we have lined up for our TTRPG lecture series.
This is a wonderful culture to try to fight for. Unfortunately, the platform allows for it, and it's proven to increase engagement and followers, and people want both of those. If you want to stop dogpiling--or any other negative action on BluSky--it has to be addressed at a platform level.

I just finished dress rehearsal for my concert tomorrow and one of the pieces has a shaker part that’s gonna haunt my nightmares.
It’s a great piece. Just… this shaker part is going to be the end of me.

Xodo and PDF24 are listed as free options here.
Finals are done. I just finished my last test tonight. I'm giving myself a couple of relatively stress free days to chill and double down on housework, then some of that time is gonna go back into my current projects!
School is slow going but it is going, which is good.
I guess it is time to introduce Bluesky to my latest work, HTML for People.
Anyone can make a website with HTML. No previous coding experience required. I cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀

Further on this; Diversify. Spread yourself around as many outlets, third party storefronts, retail outlets, small book sellers, etc etc. wherever they'll have you. Exclusivity clauses are rare, and non-exclusive compromises are often like 10% of your income. Well worth the security and coverage.
This year has also been extremely hectic with major life changes, getting a full time job while going to school full time, and having Hurricane Helene hit our area. So like… shit’s been wild 😅 I’m excited to get back into design work and getting more into other things like AP as well!
I am… so bad at social media, I have to remind myself to post. But as I start following other TTRPG folk and expanding out, I wanna say it’s been delightful doing PAXU by proxy, and hopefully next year I can join y’all!
TTRPG Creators: please, just say no to "AI." No AI background music, no AI-generated NPCs, no AI character art or podcast covers. It's *all* theft and it's *all* destructive.
