Read Pirate Care last night (with Tiggy) - worth checking out if you're feeling helpless in front of "what can we do" kinds of questions right now. Worthwhile reminder of the transformative potential in gathering enough courage to "practice care dangerously."

We're doing a fundraising drive for one more year of librarypunk. Hosting and recording costs money, and we'd really appreciate your support to keep the show going. Everything we make will continue to be free for all, but we wanted to offer ways for people to show their support.

Past revolutionaries can guide us through this moment. Kwame Ture: "Now, I think the biggest problem with the white liberal in America, and perhaps the liberal around the world, is that his primary task is to stop confrontation, stop conflicts, not to redress grievances, but to stop confrontation."

Last year we raised $60k in our first 24 hours... ...this year we raised $100,000 in just 9 hours! This community is standing together to show our love for our trans friends, our trans family. 🏳️‍⚧️ You can donate at give.translifeline.org/tolarian Let's make some Magic! 💙🩷🤍

The word "appeasement" has been so thoroughly reshaped by the way we teach/warn about the spread of fascism that it is hard to use in other contexts. You have to be so willfully complicit to argue that a mouse deserves a cookie here. Scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds, I guess.

Old man, new toy

For nine years now I have not known peace. Happy gotcha to my foulest son.

1. Here are some of my thoughts on the news by Erin Reed that some hospitals are denying new minor patients for gender affirming care: Hospitals that obey in advance to illegal executive orders can and should be targeted for protest actions by trans activists groups. bsky.app/profile/erin...

An opposition party would demand his immediate resignation, a fearless White House press corp would counter his "DEI" slurs with questions about his competence and criminal liability. Ah well,

Less than two weeks in and they're trying to kill kids.

Bout time or some State & Revolution reading parties I reckon

Taking down pride flags. Abandoning programs and not ordering materials which center queer voices. There's a lot of ways libraries can fail queer people in the coming weeks in pursuit of "neutrality." Conflict avoidance and appeasement enable fascism. We need to be squaring up, not backing down.

Tiggy in his BG check outfit. He's so good about dealing with this because it always immediately precedes food.

I switched over to a flip phone since everything is going to shit and I want to be way less online for it, and so far the only actual pain point has been not having scryfall in my pocket.

NEW PAT THE BUNNY!?!?!?!

it’s time

Loki shneefin some pauper dredge. @boneboxgames.com makes rad deckboxes.

When we evacuated from a climate catastrophe last year I thought about how the imperial core is becoming increasingly more hostile to refugees even as more people in the imperial core become refugees themselves, and how “Crime” propaganda is deployed to fight the natural human inclination to help!

Best - and haziest - little guy in all of Magic.

This was always waiting at the rotten heart of rainbow capitalism. These companies and the ghouls at their helms care only about profit and access to capital, and they will gleefully install fascism if they decide it's the most direct means towards those ends.

A ~3.5yr 5e campaign wrapped in 2024 and I took a DM break for about six months. Hoping to get back to ttrpgs this year, particularly: - Mothership - Imperium Maledictum - Penumbra City What am I missing? Anyone eyeing any new/exciting systems for 2025?

So, a reminder, if you're trans or remotely consider yourself an accomplice/ally: there's no "trying to comply" with laws that destroy our communities. Stall. Lie. Sue. Destroy documents. Outright disobey. Is this risky? May you face threats, harm, lose your job? Yes. Survival requires sacrifice.

realizing i never posted it here….but too long have we been limited by the 2-dimensional political alignment chart. i think by using my new tool we can truly map another person's politics. here it is: The Ideology Cube

Number one rule of cat pictures is the closer you get the better they are, right?
