Shadowboard is a free web tool I built for #Shadowdark RPG GMs to use at the table, automating and assisting with a handful of things: light timers, round-timers, turn-tracking. It's meant for a laptop or iPad and does not play nicely with a phone-sized display. www.duelinmarkers.com/shadowboard/

Mild plant horror 🌱🌿
Digital illustration depicting a hooded figure. Her face is not visible, but in its place are stylized shoots protruding from the hood’s opening. Dark mountains are visible in the background. Digital illustration styled as if it were printed on an old battered card. It depicts a character whose head is replaced by black branches. Digital illustration in the style of a vintage storybook. A man peacefully sits in a sparse forest with his back against a tree stump. Muted red flowers grow out of his chest. Below the illustration reads “several flowers bloomed from his chest.” Digital illustration in the style of old print. It displays three plants in various states of transformation. All are growing vague animal-like bodies: one birdlike, one serpentine, and the other humanoid.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!” Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.” Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face. Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Costco announced they will not stock mifepristone in their pharmacies. Contrary to viral social media posts, this IS a big deal and it DOES mean that they caved to pressure from far-right MAGA anti-woman conservatives. Here I go over the evidence and what you can do skepchick.org/2025/08/cost...

Yes. Once you start seeing this (Institution X probably wanted do this conservative thing anyway but now can blame it on Trump), it's everywhere. It's not capitulation, it's agreement. "We can stop doing this thing we started doing from 2014-2020 because of woke/progressive/anti-racist pressure."

So you’re a game designer who wants people to write adventures for your system.
Here’s how you facilitate that:

The United Farm Workers, along with the entire labor movement, stands in strong solidarity with our comrade, labor leader David Huerta. We demand his immediate release and condemn indiscriminate sweeps targeting working class immigrants.
The United Farm Workers condemns the violence against our comrade David Huerta, the President of SEIU California and SEIU-USWW, who was injured and detained while exercising his constitutional rights during an ICE raid in Los Angeles. Now more than ever, it is urgent for all working people in the United States to defend the immigrant workers who contribute so much to our country. An attack against one worker is an attack on all workers -- union and solidarity are our response. Si se puede.

Whenever folks bring up the history of cops and government officials undercutting protest movements and escalating police response via duplicitous action, there is inevitably a chorus of disbelievers.

Well, this is as as clear and current as it gets.

NEW: “Former LA Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb City Hall Last Year”

Sounds like the deputy mayor called in a fake bomb threat in an attempt to set up pro-Palestine organizers. Wonder what the city attorney's role is in all of this: www.justice.gov/usao-cdca/pr...
Former Los Angeles Deputy Mayor of Public Safety Agrees to Plead Guilty to Threatening to Bomb L.A. City Hall Last Year Approximately 10 minutes later, Williams sent a text message to the Los Angeles Mayor and several high-ranking city officials in the Mayor’s office and falsely reported, “Bomb threat: I received phone call on my city cell at 10:48 am this morning. The male caller stated that ‘he was tired of the city support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda.’ I immediately contacted the chief of staff of LAPD, they are going to send a number of officers over to do a search of the building and to determine if anyone else received a threat.” In fact, Williams had not received such a call.

i so appreciate @rowanzeoli.bsky.social giving me the chance to speak about my thoughts on Going Rogue as political project

it's been interesting & challenging trying to be thoughtful about how i approach (& market) this game in that respect, & getting to talk its *limitations* was actually v nice
For me, one of the greatest historical questions faced by the left is “how do we make a movement decisive and tolerant enough of inevitable collateral damage to actually overthrow capitalism, while remaining democratic and accountable enough that the new government we build still answers to the people.” Communist revolutions have all struggled with this question, and while American propaganda depicts them as more oppressive than they were, it’s quite clear we still haven’t fully succeeded in finding that balance. "Both pillars represent necessary parts of a revolutionary movement that must be balanced for it to succeed." I don’t expect playing Going Rogue will answer that question — games aren’t organizing. What I do want Going Rogue to do is to help players involved in liberation struggle to reflect on how they feel about that question. When I wrote it, I was feeling incredibly dispirited by conflicts between local anarchist and communist groups, and even conflicts within anarchist and communist groups I’d been in. They weren’t as high stakes as open violent revolution, but they were still fundamental questions about how decisions were made, who’s accountable to who, how we decide what risks are worth taking, and so on, in situations that often involved the risk of jail time and serious bodily harm. I wrote these feelings into Going Rogue, and wrote them without answers. It’s a game about having those questions, encouraging players to step into the role of a character and, hopefully, safely explore those feelings in an environment where the stakes are far lower. Its playbooks and pillars force you to look from different perspectives — as a GMless game, you’re inhabiting the role of The Parliament and The Intelligence simultaneously. When I wrote it, I needed that, and there’s no better outcome I could hope for than the idea that it might help other organizers struggling with the same feelings.
