This has dire consequences for *all* websites. All someone needs to do is decide that a site has "pornography" on it and that site is now burdened with the infrastructure to age verify. Same sex couple in an RPG story? That site is offering adult content. Believe it. That's where this is going.

4234 words today. I started using LivingWriter a few days ago and I'm already loving it.

The Democratic Party will learn nothing from Mamdani's win. They will double down on their insistence that to win, the party needs to lean center/right and they will continue to lose elections to with boring, spineless, corporatized candidates. The Democratic Party is part of the problem.

@drivethrurpg.com & Roll20, do the right thing and reinstate @9thlevelgames.bsky.social's Rebel Scum immediately. It's your policy that needs to change, not the game. I

I was able to get a few minutes on CNN to talk about how the tariffs are affecting tabletop game publishers. Hopefully, it rasies some awareness about the issue. Please press your local reps and support struggling small businesses. Link to the video: video.snapstream.net/Play/2hbqG2v...

This is still the most scathingly accurate depiction of liberals and the Democratic party I've ever seen. #TheGoodPlace

JFC, on Indigenous Peoples Day no less, I see an ad for a virtual course teaching Tribal staff how to incorporate AI into their environmental goals. Their **environmental** goals. Fucking gross. AI needs to be shot into space along with every techbro pushing it.

I watched Captain America Brave New World last night. It was a movie.

Happy #Juneteenth! 🤎🙏🏾✊🏾

Taking a deep dive into my upcoming novel using Living Writer software. So far so good. It's got good tools for mapping out characters, elements, outlines, etc. I'm excited to really dive into my first draft of this book. It's been a long time coming.

Our friends at @fridaytea.com could use your help! They're a lovely, woman-owned small business and have been hit hard with the tariff situation. If you can, please throw them a donation at: bit.ly/4kTkPdU You can also pick up our Cahokia blend tea from them at: www.fridaytea.com/products/cah...

One of my favorite creators has a fantastic new game up on Kickstarter and I can't wait to play it again. Check out Pet Names on Kickstarter. Pink Tiger Games continually produce amazing, sweet, fun, creative, thoughtful games. Pet Names is no exception! www.kickstarter.com/projects/ami...

In many ways I'm "youthful" for my age. But holy fuck, I will never not be irritated by folks on videos holding their lavalier mics in front of their faces. It makes me grind my teeth.

If you're going to Origins Game Fair this week, be sure to stop by the @ipr.bsky.social booth (1203) to pick up Coyote & Crow and other great RPGs. #ttrpg #boardgames #OriginsGameFair

Can you imagine the good we could do if we took all this money & retasked all ICE agents to find and welcome undocumented immigrants. Give them healthcare, job training, housing assistance. How much better off would we all be? TBH tho, all the agents would quit. BC they'd have to stop hurting ppl.

I'm 54. I've never lived under a Presidency that I approved of and only two that I voted for. I'm tired of never feeling seen or represented.

This is America.

Moving day today. I'm really hoping it's the last time I ever have to move. I am more bone-soul-tired than I can ever remember being right now.

"Israel vows to stop aid ship" is a hell of a headline.

Holy hell. This video terrified me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGZK... Have you seen this @alexwinter.com? AI is getting scary good at this kind of thing. I can't begin to imagine the damage it could do to our civilization.

You know what I've NEVER seen? Any cop arresting or detaining another officer or agent from any agency for doing something blatantly excessive or illegal. NOT ONCE. They aren't protecting the people of their towns, they're backing up their authoritarian buddies. They serve the Feds, not us. ACAB

I've been working full-time from my home office now for almost ten years straight. I can't imagine going back to an office at this point. It would massively cut into my efficiency, my quality of life, my drive, my creativity. It just seems ludicrous.

ChatGPT is a sociopath.

it's the unmoisturized elbows for me.

I can't stop thinking about Sinners. I think it might be my favorite film since Everything Everywhere All At Once or Parasite. It's so rare to see true cinema telling original stories that hits just right on every single level. Ryan Coogler is a master at work.

I've been working on hard on Ahu Tiiko and Primacy lately. Part of my motivation has been so that I can free up time to get back to working on my novel. This morning, a working title came to me that I really like. A Liar's Feast

On Sunday, my friend, Jonathan Joss was murdered and it took me a minute to find the words... Like so many of our lives, Jonathan's existed at the powerful intersections of Indigeneity, queerness, visibility, and vulnerability. He was fierce, funny, flawed, and real in every way that mattered.
