We Played D&D on a Boat! Adventures Ahoy! Part 1: Tomb of Grief
Set sail for something truly special!

To the establishment the tragedy seems to be that a mother lost her child far far more than a trans girl lost her life and everything that’s followed has been about suring up the ownership and control parents have over their children
Yknow thinking more about MPs championing the no phones in schools thing in Brianna Ghey’s name just how arrogant you gotta be as a cis person not to wonder where all the trans people endorsing your project are at named after a girl murdered for being trans

The biggest “block” writers face is time and money and gatekeeping (by the people who can offer money to give you that time.)
I would welcome a day that I didn’t wake up with fourteen great ideas that I simply don’t have the time or money to do properly. AI directly threatens that. It doesn’t help.

People who aren’t writers think writer’s block is at least as big and real a problem as I thought quicksand would be, as a child.

Why is Piers Morgan always given so much time and space? Because our media is a relentless circle jerk where people whose main experience is dinner bang on and on about the world they can barely see above their goose pate and Stilton foam

Just realised the reason I couldn't play Horizon Zero Dawn (I tried!) was that I watched Batteries Not Included about a hundred times as a kid. The majority of non-humanoid robots are friend-shaped to me.

Taxing the rich is the only option. Their extreme wealth makes everything more expensive for the rest. We need everyone in the UK to know that the answer to "what can be done" is a wealth tax.

Been painting more recently. Seeing as I now have a decent scanner I'm gonna get some more prints up on TeePublic when I have time (so like 2026?)
Anyway, this is Cthuleless.

A typical night spent ruminating over events, past present and future. What I did or didn’t do to help Alice, that which I can or can’t do to help the trans community. It’s endless.
