Elon Musk's claim that federal workers who ignore a mass email will lose their job isn't supported by the email's request — or OPM guidance that says responses to its mass emails are "voluntary."

So I'm newer (3ish years) to the #ttrpg space, but I am not new to proofreading and editing. So, just throwing this out there. I'm a freelance editor, proofreader, writer, and social media guru. If you know anyone looking for such things, I'm looking for work. 💛

I didn’t have @travismcelroy.bsky.social referencing the law of conservation of mass on my bingo card but I was listening to the newest MBMBAM while working and I was cracking up at the puzzle bit because yeah you can’t destroy matter and it is the funniest implementation of that law I have heard 😭

Here's an example of the new layout, showing the Alchemist and Assassin classes. Players start with both Basic Abilities and a third ability depending on their highest stat - Might, Mastery or Mischief. As they gain xp they can unlock more abilities or upgrade the ones they have to be even better!

I don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but if you’re always in a state of reaction from this constant deluge of information, then you won’t be able to process any of it or organize against what’s happening. Take time off the internet, build your communities, and get organized.

btw, it doesn't and SHOULDN'T need to be said, but it will be anyway: this is a safe space, no terfs, no bigots, no fuckassery here. And i say that completely, and i encourage my moots to do this as well: just block anyone who tries. Being a safe space means... being a safe space from all the ugly

Disgusted. Tired. Angry. But tomorrow needs us. It needs you. I see you and I love you. And together we will continue to fight for our community, and tell our stories, and uplift each other. There is no other way but forward.

Remember that fascists want you to feel hopeless and helpless. We are neither. Continue to be a pain in their fucking ass, even if that just means refusing to go away.

With TikTok going dark, if any of my mutuals/community from over there want to chat (even if just for the company), feel free to reach out to me on any of my socials. We can even talk over discord

I was on TikTok as it was clearly being taken down and scrolling along watching profiles for accounts and comments not load and then just not able to scroll at all was spooky. I was watching a digital community disappear in that space

Bro was anyone going to tell me I have over 1000 videos from Tiktok, like I found this out when I downloaded my data and searched the text file for https. Why was I posting 3 times a day? Some of them were so dumb too ahaha

So I am going through and saving all my 2020 Tiktoks (without the watermark) and I am losing my mind at my silly pandemic thoughts. I just straight up heard myself say “what if Jake from state farm was a warlock patron?” 😭

I have been finding the constellation Orion in the winter sky for over 8 years whenever I notice it is a clear night. It is so instinctual now that it actually makes me feel more grounded and connected to the world but like time is not passing. Anyway, here’s Orion from the other night

Explaining my experience with my own self-image to someone else is so funny. Like sometimes I look in the mirror and it’s normal, sometimes it’s me but a little to the left, and other times I have a sense of “oh there I am.” Never an uncomfortable feeling, just a “oh this is where we’re at today”

It took me like 20 years of my life to realize how much my brain operates off of associations and this is why I break down information or describe situations with analogies so much

One of the funny things I accidentally do when I play a new character in a TTRPG is say “I’ll try to keep this accent down but we’ll see what happens” before the session and not only do I manage to keep hold of the accent but even after the session I accidentally keep slipping into it.
