Once more, for the cheap seats. "Cis" and "cisgender" are not slurs. The lie that they are has been propagated and weaponized by the people trying to oppress the truly marginalized. Parroting their talking points isn't a good look, and sure as hell doesn't earn one the benefit of the doubt.

Once again, I will note that trying to shame homophobes by depicting or describing them as gay is just buying into homophobia and is beneath anyone who considers themselves our ally. Memes of Trump and Musk or Trump and Putin kissing? Neither funny nor clever, but definitely homophobic. Stop it.

I'm doing it again. I'm chasing the White Whale: Two concurrent and parallel campaigns, set in the Planescape and Star•Drive settings, as those settings slowly merge. Play-by-post, probably on #MythWeavers, extra-long recruitment period because of the OOP system and settings. #planescape #alternity

Going to spend all day in the kitchen tomorrow. It's my last trial run with my blue chili recipe-- and my first time attempting to produce chili at proper chili cookoff quantities. It's just a seafood white chili with blueberries and blue corn in it. But it is tasty and alarming to look at.

The things I have seen online today are terrifying. Everyone who is feeling this, please be safe. Hold on to hope. Talk to those you love. Do your best to find community and kindness. A lot of awful people are about to reveal themselves, and their true nature. Take note.

Panic and despair kill more people than the people who promote panic and despair. Secure your own oxygen mask before attempting to help your neighbor. Then, when you're ready to help other people-- look for other people trying to help, and attach yourself to them. Count your blessings.

I feel like we all need a checklist right now: Am I safe from immediate harm? Do I have a support network? Do I have some freedom to structure my life? Do I have outlets for my most powerful feelings? Do I have joyful activities? Do I have a space I can retreat to? Can I help folks who lack these?

RPG tip: Reiterate lines and veils if your game head towards potentially sensitive areas like body horror or sexual intimacy. Peoples' feelings may have changed since your session zero. #dnd #ttrpg

I want to talk with tabletop professionals (designers, artists, publishers, etc) who are now considering significant changes to their business in the wake of the US election. Whether it's tariffs, rising anti-trans hate, a loss of legal protections, or anything else, reach out! ✉️ [email protected]

“The left needs to have voices that speak to young people!!” I know I should keep my mouth shut, but I’ve watched at least a dozen smart, passionate, popular left wing content creators get torn to shreds /by the left/ until they retreat either into obscurity or apolitical content.

I think it's also worth remembering for times ahead that resistance and assistance come in a lot of different forms, not all of them overt and public. In my own life, I send money for things I, for whatever reason, don't talk about publicly, because I've determined that's the best way to be useful.

Second-class citizens have spent decades handing our leaders the weapons of the enemy. And now the enemy has them and is planning on using them. When the Authorities define your identity and your existence as crime, everything you say and do is a criminal act. We are all criminals, now.

Within 3 months, perceptions of the economy will go from bad to good, and consumer confidence will soar, despite no economic changes. Millions who said their finances are bad will say it’s good, and will even if tariffs raise prices. Pundits will still say these Americans voted based on the economy.

Trans rights are human rights. Trans women are women. Trans men are men. Sex work is work. Sex workers are workers. Pornography made by and consumed by consenting adults is free speech. #CanaryintheCoalMine (cont)

Vampires kill people and raise them back from the dead (as more vampires), and are therefore Necromancers. Werewolves have transformation sequences, and their stories usually revolve around self-discovery and are therefore Magical Girls. In this essay, I will...

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.

From Sharon Quinsaat on X—must read: I just woke up to the news that Trump is again the president. I want to say I am surprised, but I am not. I have been conducting fieldwork in Hawaii since June 2023 for our project on immigrant conservatives. 0/x

Please make sure to take time to feel all of your feelings. They are all valid. Once you've processed, start looking out for what's already happening in your communities as it relates to organizing around issues that are most important to & urgent for you.
