I’m glad so many people have found my “capybara method” for how to write alt text and image descriptions helpful! However, I know conflicting access needs exist and not everyone can write their own #AltText, so here’s an ongoing thread of tools that can help. Inclusion in thread ≠ endorsement

Massive protests are happening across the US, as tens of thousands hit the streets against Trump's far-Right agenda, shutting down streets and freeways, as police tried to contain crowds with projectile weapons. Check our roundup here: itsgoingdown.org/protests-spr...

A question we've had a lot while developing Why We Fight is "what is solarpunk?!?" and so, @laurieblake.bsky.social wrote a blog post all about it! bit.ly/solarpunkisb... #solarpunk #dystopia #ttrpg

The Ennies should just flat out refuse to accept ANY works that have been produced using AI. Simple as that.

Just been reminded of that time I somehow managed to convince a professional animator and opera singer to team up with me to make the silliest video I could think of to promote our first card game. Never underestimate the persuasive power of unrestrained silliness! youtu.be/f5Y8mDk98IY

We have always believed in inclusivity, love, & compassion. They're present in all of our games and will continue to be. We think Pandion should be a place to find respite and escape from the world. If you're looking for an escape, our games for free for the next 36 hours: itch.io/s/146579/esc...

Hello friends, now that I've ditched Xitter, it's probably a good idea to put a quick thread down about myself so you can stop being like "Who's that guy?" and start being like "ohhh THAT guy"

I'll never understand the "retvrn to nature" crowd who rail against our current era. It's the selectivity they apply that gets me. They'll complain about the ills of the internet while overlooking how humanity just survived a potential black plague decimation because of rapid information sharing.

I've noticed there's a struggle with #solarpunk games to display long term change, even though that's kinda the whole point. Is it a timescale thing? Very few media styles focus on anything other than the scale of immediacy. Is it that change is a consequence, not an action?

I am very happy to present Heliosail's cover art, done by the immensely talented mkingamess. You can find her on Tumblr, Instagram, DeviantArt and other places by that name. This is the full cover, so the right hand side with the ships is the front cover. #Solarpunk #Art #HumanMade #TTRPG #SciFi
