Protestors block ICE in Minneapolis

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Minneapolis today….great to see communities come together for their neighbors when masked up ICE Nazis come to their towns….more of this everywhere when those thugs show up!

This is outrageous. A federal worker at our DC town hall talks about how employees are being asked to write letters stating their support for Trump. Our loyalty is to country not any particular president. As the woman said, “what the literal fuck.” open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Something I have noticed - primarily with GMs who have only experience with 5e - is calling for rolls without a clear idea of the stakes and results. I think you should never roll unless you know what happens if it succeeds or fails, even if only vaguely. This is an extension of the OSR principal

Why does HBO Max have the Desolation of Smaug listed as Family Drama?

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

They say this is the last thing you see.

Hey fuck this. As if there's two sides of a coin or something? Nah. There's "demonize & misrepresent & lie about an already-vulnerable population who aren't harming anyone to try and score easy scare points" versus... just leave people alone? Just leave them alone, and condemn those that won't.

It's probably been about 20 years since I dabbled in the magic of mushrooms. But my dispensary has free BBQ and infused iced beverages on the 1st of every month. I opted for the shroom-infused beverage instead of the THC-infused option. At such a low dosage, it's a real gentle touch. 1/2

A childhood imaginary friend that was born of life's first promise. Someone have AI churn out some pilot script possibilities. Yw.

The 3 Suns give light to the underground city. One day they will return to the surface world, and feel the real sun... #art #TTRPG #OSR #dungeon

I've found that paying attention to the news only a few hours per month provides me with sufficient information to know that the situation is normal -- all fucked up. Back to my non-news consumption.

#ttrpg and #osr fan, this is clearly aimed at you!

Devil worship.

Good morning. Does anyone else resent that Microsoft Word doesn't use single-space as it's assumed default?

I prefer going into Mondays with nothing on my shoulders. It's less stressful. And it makes for a more enjoyable weekend.

Re-watching GoT. Still angry at what happened to Ned at end of S1.

Righteous Gemstones S4 delivers.

I largely avoided the news, and the entire internet, for 2 days. It. Was. Glorious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Then. Let. It. Die. 💀

Taking junior to Universal Studios today. We're gonna try out the new Mummy ride. Also, it's a 3-day weekend.

And so it begins… game time! ⚔️ #osr #dnd #ttrpg

I'm rewatching Andor S1 before watching S2. I think this may be the third time I've seen S1.

Happy Friday.

This morning I'm thinking about the quiet struggles people go through.
