death-cafe.bsky.social - Profile | ThreadSky | a Reddit-style client for Bluesky

Good morning The Grimoire devs asked me to edit a character profile into alignment with the rest of our profiles, and I accidentally, maybe, just a little bit added a small, tiny, extra 3000 words to a 5000 word document? I think I drank too much of the hyper fixation juice.

While I'm very here for starter packs as a concept, I wish we could choose to opt out of packs we do not want to be part of. Not everyone wants to be followed by every fan community they have audience in. Some people want to curate their audience to a higher degree for their own personal needs.

Former Amazon worker here; do not cross this picket line. Don't do it. Don't even order from them (unless absolutely necessary). They're a disgusting company to work for and the reason for my knee problems that required years of physical therapy. Fuck Amazon. We stand with the workers! 👊🏻✨

Posted a small update on the CFIA Patreon today — the Unforum restoration is underway! (Unforum was a part of Unfiction.com, the original forum for ARGs in the early '00s where people posted news and discussions about games, including creators discussing vocabulary and alternate reality game design)

"I'm making a call-out post on my bluesky.app ..." Doesn't have the same ring to it. Let's workshop some alternatives.

Hearing a lot of misgendering in response to the recent Chris Chan news. Remember, when you personally deem someone morally irrepressible and choose to disrespect their pronouns, you're perpetuating terf and conservative talking points. Can't believe I'm still explaining this to queer people.

Slenderverse - noun A community of habitual weirdos all being stalked by your favorite really tall dude. Also: art increasingly for the queers, the neurodivergents, the chronically ill, the systems, the childhood trauma survivors, and any other maner of misfit. -- Come make shit with us.

Are we doing the "pacific northwest tree octopus" again? Cool. I liked that. Bog dolphins is honestly gold.

Apparently bluesky reminds me of early Twitter enough to let the bird in my head that screams at things he doesn't like scream at things he doesn't like again. Oh joy.

Scholars sometimes find it notable that I voraciously share artifacts through highly public channels like Internet Archive. During my PhD, another grad student once asked me why I didn't sit on everything I found so that I could be credited as the person who discovered it. Here's 3 answers.
