When you ask a TTRPG publisher to support a VTT, I'd love you to consider these things. This is an absolutely spot-on thread, as I come to expect from Fred.

for real though there's no end of history. there's no saviour coming for us. there's no Last Judgement where we will finally be free and live in the workers paradise forever. there's only the struggle and we have to learn how to live and love in a dark place. keep going, skeleton

Psst you only hear about the Greens and Jill Stein every four years because that’s the only time they get news coverage. If you really wanted to know where they are they’re very active on social media you can see the protests and events they’re at. Your “where are THEY, HUH” makes you look stupid.

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.

time for my new favorite tumblr post

wow I wonder if the cops who lied about the sitting senator even though everything they did was on tape are also being less than honest about the presence of violent agitators at the protests in los angeles. they might even not have told the entire truth about other protests

The ‘is Bluesky bad’ debate is the same bullshit from the same provocateurs who brought you the ‘is LA rioting’ debate.

1. The US Transgender Survey has finally been released, and the results are stunning. - <1% of people are less satisfied after HRT. - The most common reason for detransition, pausing transition, or stopping transition is transphobia. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

Trump was like "no fats no femmes"

I should become a detrans grifter so I can afford gender affirming care.

The attacks on the civilian population of LA are becoming more violent and more overtly authoritarian, and brutal. These are the tactics of a paramilitary terror force nothing else. These are rightwing death squads in the making. America is under attack by fascist governmental forces

Simone Biles apologised to Riley Gaines? Here's how my apology to Gaines would go: "I'm sorry you were so shit at swimming you had to become a grifter".

Seventy-five Democrats voted in support of a resolution that praises the deportation regime. This is not an opposition.

Never let oppressors tell you how to protest

People use this thing like a search engine. It is currently dictating public policy.

This week for free over at Patreon, Filamena wrote about D&D and hazardous dramatic events in a scene, and what we're doing for #iHunt. You should read it. www.patreon.com/posts/blog-h...

"Violence is never the solution"

ICE could end this at any time. They could release the hostages. They choose not to. Any violence done to them is their fault. See how that works?

I keep thinking about how in 25/50/100 years everyone will want themselves/their parents/their favorite institution to have been at the forefront of the protests. This, Gaza, all sorts of things that are currently being workshopped to death by optics scolds.

this point can’t be made enough. applies to standing up for trans people too btw

Don't be a red bar.

Remember this image every time someone tells you that protesters are "hurting their cause." Those people are the red bars. In 40 years, we'll look back at them the same way.

If you want proof that this place is not an echo chamber for the left try expecting more from the Democratic party, the party I have voted for all my life

I think we need to de-Chris-Chan-ize the internet. No I don’t give a fuck what this random person y’all have decided to stalk is up to, and it’s really weird that you do. “New Chris Chan lore dropped!” Who the hell cares? Their life isn’t for your entertainment you pathetic waste of cum.

What the fuck is the point of paying money to a police department if they won’t protect people from hostile masked kidnappers?

I told you I want to show you Daggerheart? And that I want to get queer peeps especially to this table? And that there's a charity event with that? Did I tell you it can be, technically, free, with my referral? (There might be card processing and shit. Which is why I say technically. Check it out!)

Surpreendendo zero pessoas, porém mais uma vez demonstrando o quanto Melon Usk é um FDP oportunista cujo único objetivo de vida é piorar a existência de qq um que não seja ele mesmo

"I knew he was a pedophile, and I intentionally hid it from all of you until I stopped benefiting from it."

Today's a great day to remember that if Donald Trump is removed from office, Peter Thiel's bought and paid for puppet JD Vance steps up. This is absolutely a plot by the tech elite to pull some "centrist revolution" bullshit. That's terrible. That doesn't mean it's not funny.

I contain worlds beyond number. ☺️

Stretching out from indie games into exploring "queer friendly" D&D spaces, it's kind of jarring seeing Mearls openly celebrated, and seeing Harry Potter bits in Youtube videos. On Pride 2025, it's a stark reminder that outside niche indie spaces, "queer pride" did not win in any meaningful way.
