I wrote a bunch of tips about shopping for clothes directed at people who have little experience with the art (such as trans folks who are only now caring about their wardrobes).

I was first unsettled, then increasingly furious at the New York Times' coverage of the death of Lia Smith. Here's a thread sharing some trily despicable choices made by @julietmacur.bsky.social in writing about this young woman's suicide.
The New York Times described a harrassment campaign that helped drive a young trans woman to suicide as "online criticisms."

NYT Chronicles a Death Their Moral Panic Caused — Assigned
The New York Times published a story covering the death of trans athlete, Lia Smith, but takes no responsibility for the ways their coverage of trans issues has fed the moral panic that caused it.

This is literally what they do whenever a Black person is killed by police. No matter how solid the evidence is, they will keep pushing that lie, not just to poison the conversation and make sure the killer walks free, but to reassert the political idea that these people deserve to be killed.
The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

Finished a short urban fantasy noir eggfic based on the joke of "The Hardboiled Egg". It's short and sweet, but a bit too quickly paced even though the author clearly didn't want to stretch it out.

your Constitutional protections in action. US police have been violating civil rights with impunity for decades, and basically all high-minded debate about Constitutional law ignores the reality that very few of us enjoy those protections in practice.
What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Reframing my GM mindset from “challenge comes from threatening the PCs’ lives” to “challenge comes from threatening their goals” has made my experience at the table more fun.
The tension can come from the chance of them completing their goals rather than the possibility of death.

Sweeny makes a really insightful suggestion here that I haven't previously considered: that anti-trans stories were a bone being thrown to right wingers that wouldn't scare off most liberals. I saw local far right fascists do the same thing in the antivax groups they ran during the pandemic.
In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

Playing IN THE AIR TONIGHT by @austinramsaygames.bsky.social with @coffeedetective.bsky.social remains one of the most genuinely special experiences of my life. I point to a lot of episodes as "We hit the mark," but that episode I think is uniquely special, and one of our biggest successes.

As always, Aaron does great, vital, interesting work. I started playing RPGs in 2010, so it’s really nice to chart my own experience and slice of the hobby along with this video, and great to see Session Zero here as it was a really crucial turning point for me. Playtest Zero was born there!
My End of Year video is on the "Golden Age of Indie RPGs," from roughly 2010 to 2025. I start with Apocalypse World's release, work through the Google+ Era, and follow design lineages and historical events that have impacted the hobby up through 2025.
