This will not be the first economic blackout or the last. But it's a place for new people to start, and for others to continue their boycott.

Eat. The. Rich.

In 2016, game designer and podcaster, Choi Mika, posted about a t-shirt on social media. Thus begins a story of how the Korean tabletop industry stood against a right-wing mob and transformed their scene for the better.

@subtleserval.bsky.social did an absolutely beautiful job on creating character sheets for Erebus Starfall (and his souls companion, Icarus!) I’m blown away by all of SubtleServal’s work and I’m honored to have my characters come to life through their style. 🥹🖤🩵✨

Be queer. Be relentlessly and unapologetically queer.
ErinReed [Feb 20] -- Despite ferocious govt assault the US is queerer than ever.

Gallup finds nearly 1-in-ten adults are LGBTQ+ (9.3%), nearly double 2020.

Trans is up 50% to 1.3% in just 2 yrs from 0.9% in 2023.

And among Gen Z, nearly 1-in-4 (23%) are LGBTQ+!

Telling myself this and telling you this too: If you’re sick, don’t beat yourself up. The art can wait. You can do small things if you have the energy but adding additional stress to your body will make it worse.

Go rest. Get some tea.

There’s a lot of gunk going around. 🫠🫠🫠

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world.

And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.

This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!

Huge win for trans people in MT!
