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.

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.

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.

'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.'

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.
