Introduce yourself with your top 5 #ttrpg picks! CHANGELING: THE LOST LANCER TRIANGLE AGENCY THE QUIET YEAR PATHFINDER 2E (I guess) Entirely likely that WILDHEART replaces PF2e tomorrow, but I've not played it yet, so! Also seriously you should get Triangle Agency for your group

anyway no i'm not bitter or sad or lonely why would you ask (while I am of course all of these things I will be playing several TTRPGs Saturday and Sunday, and at some point being with friends who want to spend time with you starts feeling better than being with family who don't particularly care)

If I can just make a post about invisible disabilities for a second: If you know a close family member who can't travel, and you ask them if they're okay with you leaving them while you go off to celebrate a holiday with the rest of the family--consider what message you are sending to that person.

BREAKING: SCOTUS orders the government not to remove anyone from the United States under Trump’s Alien Enemies Act proclamation who is a part of the potential class in the Northern District of Texas case until further order of the court. Only Thomas and Alito note their dissent.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

Section 28 didn’t come out of nowhere. It came from a society where 75% thought homosexuality was wrong. From a society that feared the sight of a man in drag would corrupt. From a society that believed ignorance was better for children than any knowledge of gay lives. 🧵 1/16

Don't feel great being on my phone in the middle of the Good Friday liturgy but it's the only way I'm getting through this service without having an anxiety attack. Too long without exposure therapy. Would appreciate some prayers. ⚓

I don't really care what the "political consequences" are of fighting for the proposition that *everyone* is entitled to due process before they are removed from the United States and sent to a Salvadoran prison. It's not really a principle if you only adhere to it when it's politically expedient.

People have interpreted this as a call for a boycott, when I actually want a wealth tax so aggressive it'd make Lenin say, "steady on, lad" if Lenin talked like Wallace from Wallace and Gromit.

Chris Van Hollen flying down to El Salvador and refusing to leave until he got in a room with Kilmar Abrego Garcia blows up every other “well what do you expect them to do?” defense for elected Democrats

Hard for me to envision sticking with a party that I'm concerned might kill me if I crossed its leader

This is why both parties are not the same. This is why both parties will never be the same. This is why we hold our noses and vote for the lesser evil, because sometimes the lesser evil has the courage to go out and do good.

Good. Now arrest the people who kidnapped him.

Yes

You all need to treat Harry Potter IP like we’re treating the Tesla brand.

Honestly, I thought we would not be seeing camps and deportations on the scale that we are seeing now. I expected this administration to be much more similar to the first.

holy shit I’ll never be over the death of Chevron but holy shit

This is not the language you use towards people you think are your siblings.

I see a lot of people falling into the "this is pointless" trap, and I can only say it so many ways — though I suspect I will have to write something specifically about it on this front — but the bottom line is that we must expect compliance. Anything less is just making noncompliance easier.

this is my vibe, when a Democrat does something you don't like, shut up, ignore them, they say something wack, ignore them, focus on the people you like boost the messaging you like, it'll be more effective than spending 30 hours on messaging you thought sucked.

Their fall is going to shock everyone with how fast it is, how quickly we reach a critical mass. The aftermath is going to be significantly weirder and messier than such fantasies foretell. But when it comes the change is going to be swift

in chinese culture, it is considered rude to offend the people you want to negotiate with by calling them dumb peasants. few know this

I think I'm feeling a certain level of visceral nausea at the fact that people who love my books, who say they're "important" and "life-saving", don't care enough about my life or any trans people enough to stop reading a generic, racist, and painfully over-written wizard book made for 12 year olds.

It’s worth noting that JK Rowling is not only funding meritless legal challenges against trans people until they can appeal up to the court that will back them, she openly gloats about how this is where her money is going. This is what the Harry Potter TV show is bankrolling.

I'll be working as fast and as thoroughly as I can today, but I am not going to beat the GCs who have seen this judgment days in advance. Please wait for actual analysis from friendly sources to come out before believing whatever propaganda gets spread about this case.
