What an amazing essay from the former chair of Africana Studies at Bowdoin. I'll share a few sections in the reply but seriously, read the whole thing. It's all insightful and beautifully written.

I hate that I'm relieved my health care premiums only went up by 75%. I hate that that is considered "lucky," I hate that so many people have it so much worse, I hate that we can't get our shit together as a nation and actually take care of our people.

I cannot recommend you enough to install the Wikipedia app on your devices and use it like you would any search engine. Nowadays they even have tabs so you can open many articles at once.

And, if you can, please donate to the foundation. It has survived the internet enshittification that way.
wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

I reviewed Hades II. Its only significant drawback is that Hades came out first, which really isn't a problem considering it's just as good as one of the most impressive games ever made.

- there's ~38000 ICE officers
- at $80,000 a year, that's $3,040,000,000 for ICE salaries
- divide the 59,792 in ICE detention by that salary
- $50,842 dollars PER ARREST
- detaining costs $160 per person per day ($58,400 per year)

WE COULD JUST GIVE THEM CITIZENSHIP.

racism is expensive.

If you're an early riser in a city where ICE is active, one of the best things to do is take a drive. Many raids are happening in the early hours -- 5 am to 8 am -- before a lot of folks get on the road. This is often when ICE sets up camp for the day. Look around and tell your neighbor.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do.

So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.
I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️

People aren’t moving here from twitter because they want an echo chamber. People are moving here from twitter because posting on twitter is unpaid labor for the richest man in the world, who uses the value he extracts from that labor to do extremely bad things. Think of it as a strike.

Zapnag's Grab Bag — Week 11 is up now on the itch store (links in the reply). These week's #DnD magic items especially silly but still super fun. Here's one from this week: The Fool's Cap. It makes it fun to roll 1's while still keeping potentially disastrous.

Zapnag's Grab Bag — Week 10 is posted.

This week in the grab bag:

Anywhere Chair: Bamf and relax.
Full Blast Wand: Maximize that spell effect.
Ring of Spell-Gifting: Can you spare a spell slot, brother?
Vial of Troll Blood: Gut-Wrenching but helpful.

Getting my project posted at 11:50pm on Monday night still means it was posted on Monday, ergo ipso facto it was on time.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Anyway, Zapnag's Grab Bag Week 09 is posted.

Just watched the live action Avatar the Last Airbender with my fam last week.

Did anyone else enjoy it?

I get the vibe that its being reviled and while there were some disappointments, my family thoroughly enjoyed it and want to see the rest of the seasons.

Anyone else?

Zapnag's Grab Bag week 5 is out. Four new magic items: Rainbow Blade, Web Shield, Bard-in-a-Box, and Circlet of Shared Focus.

The circlet solves a particular annoyance I've got with 5e concentration and spellcasting.

Links in the bio if you'd like to check it out!

Someday soon, just you wait, my life will quiet down and I'll have time to think of stuff to post on social media besides just promoting my work. (Or are you supposed to post during the chaos? I don't see how.) Anyway, keeping up on my Zapnag project so that's something.

Zapnag's Grab Bag Week 04 Posted. I love to be able to change up my character's looks and give them fun hair. I had a Shadowrun character that took on parasitic nanoware to do just that. This item from the Grab Bag this week is somewhat safer than that.
