If you went a-protesting today and then afterwards went to brunch and were rude/mean to service industry people, you are, in fact, a fucking asshole.

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

@natasjavangestel.bsky.social! Their mini-campaigns are beautiful and super fun!
Quote or post with the small-time TTRPG designer or writer who you love. You may have never played their games but you follow their work and dream of bringing it to a table. Or maybe you run their game/supplement/house rule all the time!

Feel free to use #TTRPGbrag and let's lift others up.

In June, a Democratic state rep in Minnesota was murdered, and a state senator was shot.

And a couple of days later, Trump said he wouldn't phone Gov. Walz, calling him "whacked out" and "a mess"
Trump says he is ordering all U.S. flags lowered to half-mast in honor of Charlie Kirk

JFC. Satine Phoenix is mounting a comeback AND, HEY, DID YOU KNOW THAT SHE INVENTED LIVE STREAMING D&D? (Yes, she actually said that. Yes, she's as stunningly full of shit as she's always been.)

Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
Japan Post just announced they will no longer deliver mail to the United States, joining Germany, Austria, Denmark, Italy, France, and Sweden.

UGH who's letting this jackass back into TTRPG spaces? Like Satine squirming her way back into stuff isn't bad enough.

I think one challenge in living among so much uncertainty and tragedy is the way capitalism has taught us that our quiet, domestic moments don’t count for anything. (1/6)

So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.

I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.

Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

hot take: don’t “check on your strong friends” if the “checking on” will simply consist of expecting a prompt reply to a text message asking if your strong friend is ok, when your strong friend is fairly busy & you have not, historically, been a source of meaningful support to said strong friend

“Americans are told to abandon the pursuit of truth because truth forces accountability, and accountability reduces fear. It is easier to control people who live in constant terror—not only of violence but of apathy. The fear of being killed, and being forgotten.”

Due to tariffs, some tabletop companies are beginning to be shut down.
This can hurt game stores and put more game designers on the hunt for work.
Even if ttRPG books are exempt for the tariffs (far from assured), those two factors can make the life of ttRPG game designers very difficult.
