You'll be better served building new, values/current self-aligned relationships than trying to salvage old ones out of obligation, fear, or habit. When/if your old friends are ready, they'll find you.

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking.
Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

This shit with Hasbro is beyond frustrating. It's endemic to the industry that our great creative spirit is run roughshod by corporations.
Fuck all of this.

This week, for my campaign, I made in-depth homebrew rules for True Name Magic in D&D 5e; a full Church of Auril in IWD, incl parts of 4 holy texts, full tenets, & 2-3 rituals; & a ~historically accurate schooner the PCs will use for, like, 1 session. 😅
So much research, & completely worth it. 🥰

When you plan a nice, low-impact IDRotF session of fact-finding, shopping, and a little humanoid sacrifice...
...but your players' lvl one chars instead plant plot seeds intended for later, drawing Orcus' attention & unmasking corruption in local govt.
BRB, gotta rewrite things.
I love D&D. 🥰😱😅

Begging y'all to stop constantly evoking mentally ill people when you hate something or you think something is bad or awful. I promise you can stop using terms for us as synonyms for any negative adjective.
I reminder that you can discuss things without invoking mental illness poorly and in sanist manner. I assure you, you sane people are perfectly capable and statistically more likely to be the causers of horrible things. Shitty beliefs =/= mental illness, and if you believe it does, why listen to me?

Wastewater is pretty much the only reliable source of information about current infection levels, since testing is barely being done and it’s unclear how hospitalization is counted. This is a decent source: biobot.io/data/ (though I think it’s being discontinued soon)

Our wastewater intelligence platform monitors the SARS-CoV-2 and MPXV virus concentrations present in wastewater from across the U.S. Click here to take a look.

It's almost D&D day! ^_^
My players are so much fun to watch and engage with in (and out of) character, and I can't wait!
This campaign is bringing me so much joy, healing, and energy. What a fantastic group! What a great story we're telling together!

Thinking abt the time my mom, who was born & raised in Ohio and had never tasted grits, referred to herself as a "good southern girl".
It's not the reason I went no contact, but it's gotta be one of the things I think about most often. 😅
That and her belief shaved eyebrows can't grow back.

Reminder: I see folks say “the strike ended”. SAG-AFTRA is still striking. WGA writers still need financial support for the over 100 days they were unable to work for their primary form of income. Also, numerous other industries are striking (hotel workers) and more should (animation).

-Twitter is a cess pool yes
- Bluesky had massive anti Black/ pro Nazi ingresses and responded with memes
- Adam Moesseri has admitted her doesn't care to moderate for politics, likes surfacing "viewpoints" and had people sexually exploiting users
there's NO platform with moral high ground

I think one of the worst quirks of online spaces is the idea that if someone doesn't post about something, they don't care about it. It encourages performative posting often makes things worse.
I care a lot. I just don't want to add another poorly-informed voice. I'm reading & thinking.

Being a DM gives my demisexual ass an excuse to shamelessly flirt for fun with no fear that anyone might think I'm coming onto them.
Me irl: "-awkward stare-"
Me as an npc: "I could give you *such* a delicious farewell, you know."

Crying in D&D is such a cathartic growth experience.
That was one of the best experiences I've ever had, and my players are such a gift and a joy.
What a good session. Heartbreaking, empowering, uplifting, and a complete whirlwind.
I can't wait for the next one.

I got a *perfect* score on my adhd assessment (combined type), and I'm about to take adderall for the first time ever at almost 36.
Wish me luck.
