I've been recovering from bottom surgery and making little OSR games to pass the time. I've made 7 or 8 so far, I think -- hacks of Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Into the Odd, etc. Today's is original, and made entirely of words of one syllable.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
