Nice when woman reveals her BF and he's like a handsome guy, roughly her age, where you can literally see him working himself and his look out alongside her, rather than being some old MFer where it just feels weird.

To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

Eliminating gender studies courses helps to ensure that universities and other institutions will continue to protect men who benefit from the abuse of women and girls, either directly or through their connections to those who exploit girls and women for profit.

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

I'm looking at the applications we've had so far and there are so many fabulous people, but I KNOW there's more women and femmes of colour in the European TTRPG scene than this. There has to be!

Come and play on our channel, we are super nice and cool.
Casting is still open for our 6 amazing all women and femme tables! We've got gothic horror, team sports, arctic horror, bittersweet road trips, space and DRAGONS, all with our facillitated Session 0s, European-prioritised tables, and POC applicants go to the top of the list!

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test

Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs)

Good tech.

Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales)

Bad tech.
