Today is @profbanks.bsky.social birthday. We’ve been together for thirty years—in a few days it’s the anniversary of me proposing to her in Aberdeen. Even then she was pragmatic about it, asking us to figure out the logistics before she opened the ring box. I love her a thousand ways to Sunday.

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now.
This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Turning campaigns into mutual aid hubs isn’t good for campaigns or mutual aid! Your campaign manager should be entirely too busy to schlep around 5600 tampons!

I agree with the desire for more nuance when talking about ttrpgs. I do think there is a reason to still use "System X supports Y style of play."
I've been meaning to start more long form blogging for awhile and this is a start.

Trump is a brainless brute but Vance has clearly looked around and decided he can build power by performing the most repulsive caricature of white supremacy. He deserves profound suffering.
