I’m so proud of Minnesota. I understand why some people belittle protests as not enough, but I really think this shit matters.
I saw a clip on Fox News and they had to admit thousands of people showed up. It’s not going to stop Trump, but it’s a signal to your neighbors that they’re not alone.

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

According to Fox News, if you are a racist Young Republican you are still a "kid" when you are 34, but if you are an Epstein victim, you are an adult when you're 15.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

Pauper and Cube forever
Watching the slow erosion of competitve Magic in my area in real time: The majority of our RCQs now won't have judge support next season (stores can't afford it), and weekly 60-card events are getting replaced by games like Riftbound.
I think @magic.wizards.com analytics HAVE to be flawed.

Haven’t posted in a while. Common Ground is 94 episodes strong and my job is going really well! I’m no longer posting on tweetsville and have been working to realign my interactions on socials with my moral obligations to combating fascism in the US, so expect my works to speak louder than my posts

literally "i don't think that's true, where did you hear that?" and "this sounds like a culture war that doesn't effect you, why are you so invested in it?" goes a long way
I swear we can turn around the anti-trans moral panic by quit defending trans people, and start interrogating why they're so obsessed and keep all the focus on that.
