TTRPGs and Violence
Not everything is radical, let’s stop pretending like it is.
A lot of people in the TTRPG space don’t like me. About a year ago I more or less set fire to the handful of bridges I had built in this…

I wrote an essay about TTRPGs and violence and the unradical politics around how we often choose to discuss violence by removing the context of when it’s committed. You should read it, it’s quite good.

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew of any labs/programs looking for MS/PhD students in physics outside of the US? I’m not actively actively looking to leave my program because I did just start it, but I figured it’s a good thing to keep an eye on. #physics

As a queer author, thank you for buying our gay books in response to the challenges and bans and court decisions, but I implore you to go stand up for your public libraries and schools—they’re our greatest advocates, and they’re kind of the main target of this whole effort.

I’ve chaotically ended up in this argument around cosplaying characters from KPDH. And like… save me. I shouldn’t be arguing about this. But some people are fucking stupid. Like i’m so sorry to break this to you, but you’re not owed the chance to cosplay using people’s cultural clothing?? Wild that.

Something I honestly find incredibly annoying is the thought that the educational crisis we’re facing is simply because society’s devalued the arts. That’s fundamentally just not true. The literacy and educational crisis is built out of a poor science education just as much.

My one great fucking annoying is how many people keep reccing chinese media when talking about kpop demon hunters. Like… i get that those properties have folkloric focuses… but why are you reccing effectively historical wuxia as being similar to contemporary korean fantasy smh.

No I will not debate you on Palestine. It's a genocide. The UN, the Special Rapporteur, OxFam, Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Doctors Without Borders, multiple US state department officials, the Lemkin Institute, and B'Tselem all say it's a genocide. I don't debate flat earthers either.

We're only about $100 away from raising $1500 to support First Nations communities in Kanaky. How about giving us a boost?
The money raised will be used to buy food and supplies, as well as pay legal support for imprisoned activists.
Resist colonialism, resist french occupation, Free Kanaky!
