Post a fictional death that devastated you.
OK it was probably being 12 but I was all sorts of fucked up on Jean Grey's demise in the X-men. Unfortunately they ruined it and brought her back. A million times.

The fine art world has always seemed like a racket to me. That’s why I avoided it like the plague. I’ve been browsing artjobs.com and all the open calls are looking for “diverse voices”

First Luigi, now Skater Kid! Fuck yeah!
At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

dear new TTTRPG designers:
Charge for your games. They are good enough! It's easy to feel like you're an amateur and no one will be interested if you don't make them free, but don't sell yourself short.
Also, you're not just selling YOURSELF short when you do this!

Idk I’m an OG #startrek guy. I bounced hard off TNG. Those holodeck episodes always felt like the episode of happy days where they went back in time and were pilgrims.

I was lucky enough to be able to go down to philly to see ECW a few times in their prime. I've been fortunate to be lucky enough to see #sabu wrestle in his prime more than once. I'm bummed as hell that he's passed away. Thanks for all the barbed wire, fire and blood, legend. You deserver your rest.
