Oh, just saw this. Chirp discounted the audio book of THE SEVENTH VEIL OF SALOME down to $5.99 US. If you're looking for Golden Age Hollywood drama, check it out. www.chirpbooks.com/audiobooks/t...

"I didn't vote for" you did. Sorry. You did. Should have listened to the woke libtards instead of your roided out imaginary friends who told you kids were pooping in kitty litter at school

Sneak peak at the guidelines for #TheDeerIsMessedUp for our spooky #writer and #poet friends 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/mer... (full guidelines with additional details will be posted when the submission window opens!)

Reminder! The easiest way to help the small businesses you love survive whatever is coming next that doesn't cost you more than you were planning on spending is PAYING IN CASH. And if you're using a debit card, make sure to put in your PIN. That's usually cheaper than running it as a credit card

Stop. Using. ChatGPT.

Utter tragedy as a second child dies from measles in the Texas outbreak. Now over 600 cases nationally that have been reported (ie underestimated). The gall of RFKjr to plan to attend funeral- a man who has & continues to do more to cause this outbreak by repeatedly sharing vaccine disinformation

if you’re an artist who ever thought “what’s the point? The world is Hell and I should do something that matters instead” even in an ICE detention center people will treat art as sacred, seek it out, and find joy and comfort in it. You aren’t making art, you’re making hope.

I still don't understand the need for companies like Microsoft to spend tons of hours massaging AI prompts to produce some shitty 10 fps Quake demo and pretend AI made it easy. AI isn't profitable! It never will be, it costs too much! Growing it is just growing your god damn losses you idiots!

Insane turnout for the #HandsOff2025 in NYC. And I have to lift up the over 90% of Black Women (once again) and almost 80% of Black Men who did everything they could to prevent this twilight zone episode in the first place.

USians. Good work today. I hope you know you might have to do this way more than once.

not to be That guy but please stop letting your cats outdoors! they are detrimental to the environment and it greatly reduces their life span

Hey gang. Could do with a bit of distraction. Give me an excuse to take my mind off shit?

The 14 nypd vehicles following the tail end of the tidiest, most inside-the-rules protest I’ve ever witnessed

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Wear a mask to ALL protests. Don’t shit on people for not attending protests. Don’t shit on people for not posting about their activism. Be prepared for escalation even at a “peaceful” protest. Remember you are up against fascists who don’t play by the rules. And NEVER talk to the cops.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

I’ve been screaming for YEARS about not ever voluntarily giving your DNA to a database, and now 23andMe is going bankrupt so if you did this, you need to log in RIGHT NOW and delete your data, before the company declares bankruptcy! Your genetic records could end up in unknown hands. Do this NOW!!

Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. 23 and he knew to leave a death note.

If there’s one thing I will always soapbox over, it’s this. The past was NEVER as good as you remember it. In fact, it was probably terrible. You just weren’t watching the news or hearing about evil shit because you were a kid.

Okay #indieRPG crowd (or maybe just #RPG crowd in general). I'm looking for a game that has all of the following traits: GMless, heavy use of physical and spatial components (nothing theater-of-the-mind), and low to no combat. Bonus points for not having a fantasy medieval setting.

Been doing a fair bit of personal hobby recently, which means y’all aren’t commissioning me enough. Get in touch! I can’t be doing with actually having the time to finish these…

congrats to the whole team on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast for the phenomenal work and the SFFWA Nebula Nomination!

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightest—all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depression—is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper... But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

we're in legit first they came for territory and a lot of people have been failing at this test they cite all the time

People on the Twin Peaks shitposting group have been putting Twin Peaks quotes over screenshots of Sailor Moon and this is by far my favorite one

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

Customers who want the RPG industry to continue to thrive and grow outside of a handful of bigger publishers able to weather the storm of hugely increased prices on print products are going to have to become comfortable paying realistic prices for digital products. $5 PDFs aren't going to cut it.

These kind of votes are born out of trans representation in government. Rep. Howell & I have built solid relationships with Republicans and those relationships change hearts, minds, and (eventually) votes. It is painful, grueling work. But it makes a difference.

Can confirm. I had an ongoing turf war with some Info wars asshole who kept plastering shit around here. Everytime I saw one I'd take it down, they tried getting creative & putting it 9+ feet up but I'd find a way Thanks to a handy knife & some patience removed every single one. Give em no quarter

As an EV driver, I held my nose about Tesla for a long time because I thought, hey, at least people are buying electric cars. But there are so many better options for people who want to make the switch. Tesla owners have my condolences, just not my sympathies. aftermath.site/tesla-owner-...

Damned to love once

Al Green was the 1 Democrat who protested enough to get kicked out of Trump's speech. In response: •10 Dems voted with MAGA to censure Green •Dem leadership chastised Dem reps who protested Trump Here's the numbers of those 10 Dems—remind them to stop voting MAGA www.qasimrashid.com/p/10-democra...

I had a dream last night of this creature that was in the street near dusk eating roadkill. The people called it a "heroic".
