As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

My Go-To Technique for RPG Character Intros!

The character montage is my favorite character introduction technique for #DnD or any other #ttrpg . See examples, how to explain it to players, and even how to use it for travel, to resolve a scene, and much more!

Never forget that a Democratic US Attorney’s decision to prosecute Aaron Swartz for downloading JSTOR PDFs contributed to his suicide but AI firms’ decision to download everything ever will be a justification for hundreds of billions of dollars of taxpayer bailouts and legal exemptions.

I have the honor of being Lead Designer on the Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart Campaign Guide project!

My kid asking about another 1st grader's drawing of an ICE abduction

Agents waving guns at a woman parking just before hundreds of kids pass by on a fundraising walk

Parents at my kid's school scrambling to post guards for a kindergarten walking field trip

Our neighborhood was safe before ICE
I am really trying to get people to understand how much what is happening to our children in Chicago with regard to ICE abductions is like school shootings/gun violence: the random and massive exposure to this particular violence will imprint on a generation and no privilege can fully shield you.
This was horrific to watch. Agents entering a daycare, wrestling with and abducting a teacher in front of small screaming children. I just… what the fuck are we doing here.

#TTRPG folks, if you need license-able art for your projects (or even just assets for your home game) you can't go wrong supporting @salvaterra.bsky.social.

The ratio of quality art, maps, etc... you get vs the cost per month is incredible.

Support real artists in this AI hellcape if you can!
How was October on my Patreon.

We had 5 personal-use maps or map related pieces, 1 personal-use magic item, plus 11 stock art posts totalling 30 unique stock art pieces, 2 of which are October-exclusive.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more

Love seeing more 3rd party #Daggerheart things pop up!
Just to manage expectations. This is the first of 4 Volumes I intend to release. The linked thread below outlines what this first release will contain. Future Vols:

Vol 2: Remaining Subclasses and Adversaries.

Vol 3: Horror Western Campaign Frame

Vol 4: Locations/NPCs/Items to support the Frame
Proud to announce that next month I'll be releasing Pistolheart (Vol.1), a supplement for Western themed #Daggerheart campaigns (and my first solo release)! But for now, wet your whistle on the incredible cover art by @coveofmadness.bsky.social, who I am so pleased to work with again.
