One of the most admirable things about the 2019 HK uprising is they figured this out pretty much *from the start* and avoided 100 years of left-liberal infighting.

folks I've been tear gassed something like 200 times and maced at least fifty or so times. once i was soaked in mace to my underwear. ignore any neat scientific tricks people give you for beating this stuff -Water for tear gas -sudecon wipes for mace -if no sudecon, wash mace with water

If you want to prepare for a spicy summer 3M mask with extra filters. Ideally a full face respirator. Soft body armor of some kind for impact munitions. Doesn't have to be ballistic. Helmet. Can be ballistic. Can be bump. Even a bicycle helmet can save your life from a grenade.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

I basically love that my BSky presence is extremely intermittent posts and being the clutch guy for @gilarpgs.bsky.social (not only because we have the same birthday, though that is a factor)

elon musk, proving that somehow it is always possible to get more divorced

Conservative scorning, poster's warning. Conservative fight, poster's delight.

Jonathan Joss was MURDERED. Words matter here. He was MURDERED. it was a HATE CRIME because he is a gay Indigenous man. Say those words. Do not dance around it. He wasn't "killed in a shooting." He was murdered in a hate crime.

I know this is preaching to the choir, but like—if a customer service person comes in hot, mean, snarly, and rude? It’s not the customer’s problem to fix and just wish the dude well. I got a bagel from a guy who was clearly done with everything at his job—I mainly hope he has a better day, y’know?

Speaking as a creative raised by two very flawed artists, @expedition33.bsky.social thank you. The world you have built has reflected some of the most accessible truths about that experience and…it is so rare to find myself in such a place. You deserve every plaudit.

Imagining having the resources to do a Burke style “Connections” show on YouTube, only it’s using the playful methodology of Barthes’ “Mythologies”, just to be a weirdo.

Adversarial approaches to storytelling—the GM is not the enemy, and neither are the players. You’re telling a story together, for crying out loud.

So I spent 12 years as a philosophy student and instructor. There’s a lot of overlap between the methods you learn there and law. So when I say that I’ve been losing my absolute mind (me, a knowledgeable layman) at the Disasterpiece Theatre that is the Karen Reed re-trial…

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

suddenly remembered this post for reasons that I assure you are normal

I don’t often think of like artifacts in a D&D setting, but I just thought of an artificer who carries a portable contraption where you place trash inside, you lock the device, push a button, and then a portal to the elemental plane of Fire opens in the box, instantly disposing of the trash.

Tonight I realized that my interest in Ghostbusters (both new and old) is really just the smushing together of two interests (the paranormal and the camaraderie of the Three Musketeers). I just like it when people work together with weird shit to stop bad weird shit from happening.

I’m extremely excited about this project. A market for TTRPG and TTRPG resource creators.

Today I made an infographic, please clap.

'It was...Habermas’ mentor...Adorno, who wrote that the first step in that nation’s descent into hell was, and I quote, ‘the conversion of all questions of truth into questions of power,”’ Gore said. “The Trump administration is insisting on trying to create their own preferred version of reality.'

Me and my dear friends @strangerpeace.bsky.social @feydaley.bsky.social voiced the first Pheonix Wright trial and it's pretty fuckin unhinged youtu.be/BlT4BDvuz4I?...

The Norton Library edition of my translation of the Iliad, with stylish red cover, is now available. It has complete text, maps, notes, introduction and translator's note, and it's yours for under $10 (as are many other tempting Norton Library volumes). wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Players play as scout and worker bees and have adventures during pollination. Each day, they learn the news of the garden through the flowers and try to solve problems with the local plant life together

like. today, we understand that h.p. lovecraft was extremely racist, even for his time. but h.p. lovecraft was not THE PRIMARY FUNDER OF LEGISLATIVE RACISM IN THE COUNTRY

I shouldn’t have to say this but Autistic folk (hi!) DO ACTUALLY have rich inner worlds and are able to infer or perceive intention in language. It’s not a deficit. It’s a plethora problem. We notice so much detail that the reductionism within many discourses is inadequate.
