leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Today's the day my dad died a few years ago. I miss him...sort of. What I wish is that we had a good relationship, but we were far from that when he was still alive. Sometimes I feel like I did enough, and sometimes I feel like I could have done more, but he just wasn't interested.

Did you say Pride Month and Trinity Sunday! The Bible is Queer God I remember–when you came out of the closet– Flaming!

NGL, this might work on me.

Hey, friends! I'm looking for queer- and trans- centric media outlets that cover creative work by queer- and trans- authors and artists. This is to create a press list for sending out announcements about work by 2SLGBTQIA+ comic creators. Written outlets or podcasts are good. Any recommendations?

Rush job on a busy morning, but here’s a protestors’ rights flyer with tearaway cards to post around the neighborhood ahead of Saturday (print double-sided, flip on short edge): gem7.neocities.org/pubs/protest...

These are the first three #TTRPG adventure hooks in my 99 Heroic Fantasy Adventure Hooks sourcebook. If you're feeling stuck on ideas for your #DnD or #Pathfinder party's next adventure, let me help. Grab it on my Ko-fi shop for $2.99. ko-fi.com/s/18d6115cc2

It's been a while, but today seemed a good time to breathe life into the sputtering campfire of The Iron Pact #Symbaroum blog. One-shots Across #Ambria offers four #Encounters to drop into or between adventures in Ambria, Alberetor, or the Mountain Pass. www.theironpact.com/one-shots-ac...

The announcement I’ve been chomping at the bit to finally hear! LET’S GOOOOOO! 🐭⚔️

There is just no reason that another edition of City State of the Invincible Overlord needs to exist, and there is no reason to pay a bigot's Kickstarter debts. I don't understand what Goodman Games is doing, and the bit I do understand, I deeply dislike.

Interesting. Muay Thai practice, given that I am in terrible shape and am bad at it, was good for mental health. I've gone from crying in the bathroom to slightly better than that

“Increasing shareholder value”

Also I would love to be less depressed, okay thanks bye.

For the most part, even well-meaning journalists and outlets seem incapable of imagining a better world in any detail, or with any passion. This would be a great time for churches to step up. It's kind of what we're supposed to be built for. Are any of us left who are?

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

I and others have been calling for sanctions on these extremist Israeli ministers for the better part of a year. The government is finally doing the right thing. This must be a precursor to recognising a Palestinian state next week - not an alternative to it.

For those of you following who live in the IGH area, if you are interested in attending a "Constitution Over Kings" protest on Saturday, there is one being held at 2pm, on 80th St. between the library and the community center.

There is no left in the US government. There isn't even much of a conscience.

The word queer is all about expanding boundaries, going over the edges, seeing things not as the world sees them – which fits with Christianity very well, because Christians are called to be in the world but not of it. –Lisa Isherwood (Christian Century, June 2025)

Trump said he would deport 11 million people and I guess his voters couldn’t visualize what that would look like? That’s the same amount of people who live in Iowa and Nebraska and Kansas and Arkansas combined…

I want to report some good news from LA: ICE picked a hotel in Pasadena to be their headquarters for this side of the city. The residents of Pasadena (myself included) would not stand for this and protested all yesterday in front of the hotel until, eventually, the hotel kicked out ICE!!

From Gavin Newsom: I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A. The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders.

we've got a lot of move-in costs and anything helps. sorry to bother, thanks for reading

To state the obvious, these people are heroes. They know perfectly well what the goon squad will be doing when they get there, and they're going anyway because goon squads need confronting.

Sending 2,000 troops to Los Angeles is the same thing as sending a few dozen random people to a gulag in El Salvador, they're doing this because it's a thing they've always wanted to do, not because of any broader goal or coherent plan. Subordination of strategy to tactical planning.

I have this private schema that I have never offered up for scrutiny that biology is information contained in life, culture is information created by life, and technology is information contained in things created by life. I think it’s time…please scrutinize…

And if you think its OK to create a society where kids do active shooter drills, you can fuck all the way off.

Ended up in a conversation about how long a sermon should be. I preach about 20 minutes on average. A leader in the church said to me that to preach longer, like 40+ minutes, "You have to actually be good." I was like, damn. Et tu, Brute? #Pastorsky
