What perfect album came out when you were 16?

Gonna date myself here but I have to go with two: Amy Winehouse's classic Back To Black and The Chicks' Taking The Long Way.
The album cover of Back To Black. Amy Winehouse sits on a stool facing the camera in front of what looks like a large chalkboard. The words "Amy Winehouse Back To Black" appear in large white text. The album cover of The Chicks' Taking The Long Way. The Chicks face the camera while standing on a cobblestone sidewalk in front of a car. There is gold text in the center of the photo that reads "Dixie Chicks Taking The Long Way"

a glorious stretch! feat Théo

(love this little guy so much and oh my g-d, I will campaign for political office on the platform that we should let Frenchies be able to breathe again in the 21st century)

So we adopted this little guy today 💘 We don’t get to bring him home for another week or so (until after he’s neutered) but he’s the sweetest lil dude!! He was found in a dumpster with another Frenchie, probably dumped by a breeder who no longer wanted him. I’m so excited to give him a loving home!

I've been thinking all day about what, if anything, I should say in the wake of what's gone down in the ttrpg space over the past couple of days. in the end, I think what I wrote in the "On Benevolent Gatekeeping" section of Not Ready To Make Nice addresses a lot of what I'm thinking now.
White people who fancy themselves “good” in general — and white people like this in ttrpgs are no exception — want to be beneficent gatekeepers and gate-openers for BIPOC. They generally have no interest in doing the work of tearing down the damn gate and the walls it’s connected to, because the system of gatekeeping benefits whiteness. Many people in the ttrpg industry want to be seen as allies, as Good White People™. Good White People™ are content with that role as long as BIPOC don’t get too uppity, in which case they have to be reminded of their place. And some of you don't want to give up your power relative to others. Some of you have tied your worth to being benevolent gatekeepers, letting in those you find worthy of your favor and keeping out the “troublemakers.” It's a lot of white paternalism and saviorism (though the practitioners of this are not solely white people. Mostly, but not solely). And some of y’all have tied your worth and ego so closely to what you do being "good" that if something comes along and gives you the slightest pause about whether you are a "good" person (and by extension, whether an organization you like is a "good" org), it destabilizes your whole reality and causes you to tantrum.

the experience of co-running a web fest (the ONLY AP-focused web fest, as far as we know) for a couple of years AND submitting a show to the wider web fest circuit this year has me full to the brim of thoughts about how Actual Play is and isn't treated in that world, and also has me like...

Haneen sent me this message today after I reached out because I hadn’t heard from her in a while. (Message partially redacted for privacy.) She weighs 85 pounds now. She and her family desperately need money for food!!

I think the conclusion of what I had to say in Not Ready To Make Nice is also what I have to say in this moment.
A screenshot of black text on a white background that reads: Especially for those of us with financial stability and multiple privileges, the time for living our values courageously and publicly is now. Worry less about who can make or break your career and whether they’ll like it when you act up for liberation, and more about what will happen if you don’t act up for liberation. You don’t have to accept the moldy food on your plate. You don’t have to accept that it’s simply “the way things are” in this industry or in any other. You don’t have to guard the gates or maintain the master’s house with the master’s tools; you can dismantle them both. You can still act up for Palestine and for the liberation of people wherever you are. Do it. Imagine what could be if you used this art form not as an extension of the master’s tools, not as an excuse to rebuild a version of the master’s house, but to create something freer, bolder, much more dangerous and much more necessary. What if the art you make using ttrpgs was an invitation to destabilize our current relationships to power, to forge something new and different? What if? Free Palestine, free yourselves, and free each other.

A screenshot of a quote tweet with the following text: Anthony Joyce-Rivera @AJoyce_Rivera • Feb 4, 2020 Today I was part of a US Military delegation that met with Israeli President Rivlin. We got to sign a football and give it to him as a gift. I signed my name, rank, and "DND." D&D brings people of all backgrounds and lifestyles together. I wish that for Israel. #dnd #dnd5e The quoted tweet in question is a photo of a military delegation with Israeli officials. Reuven Rivlin @PresidentRuvi • Feb 4, 2020 Welcome to Jerusalem!

working on my entry for @eclipse.gay's Faggot Games Jam and would like to gauge the faggot reaction to this

A screenshot of black text on a white background that reads: SLUT/VIRGIN A game about your wedding night One of you is the SLUT — a licentious, rakish person who has taken to bed with many people and left each of them wildly satisfied, but crestfallen when you move on to your next great seduction. But all that changes now. You find yourself standing on the threshold of your wedding night, and for the first time, you feel a twinge of uncertainty about how things are going to go. 

 One of you is the VIRGIN — a more reserved individual, and inexperienced in the arts of pleasure. Though you may have experimented with some forms of light physical intimacy, you have never taken to bed with someone before, and the ways of a lover are a mystery to you. But that changes tonight. You find yourself staring down your wedding night, and for the first time, you feel desire rising in your belly as you gaze upon your new spouse.

Sokka began cleaning his paw when I took this but here he is! I appreciate you and the way you bring your values of liberation into everything you do. May things ease up soon!

Offering something the world that I’ve wanted to do for a long time: Crip Chapel! This will be a space made by disabled people for disabled people who are unable to access traditional sacred spaces. I’ll lead the first few and will be inviting comrades from many traditions to co-facilitate. 1/2
A post with blue text on a green and white watercolor background. The text reads: "Crip Chapel WHERE: Zoom 3RD SATURDAYS 20253-4pm Pacific Time | 6-7pm Eastern Time REGISTER AT: https://form.jotform.com/250886319987073 WHAT IS CRIP CHAPEL? Crip Chapel is a monthly drop-in Zoom space created by disabled people for disabled people who would like to connect with the sacred and are unable to access traditional worship services or sacred spaces. Crip Chapel will be convened and facilitated by Esther Wallace(@dungeonminister.bsky.social) and disabled comrades from many spiritual traditions. If you're wondering whether you're "disabled enough" to join: welcome."

don’t have many photos of myself where I’m like ah, Gender! but here’s a couple.

my expression of gender fluidity is mediated a lot by disability. I’ll write about it sometime! for now, I love trans people, we deserve to thrive, and here I am! #TransDayOfVisibility #TDOV

This piece is, no exaggeration, one of the most necessary things I have read in a long time. I will be sending it to many folks who have asked me “What do I do in the wake of everything?” JP covers so much and I hope you’ll do yourself the favor of taking a few moments to read what he has to say.
A screenshot of black text on a white background that reads: “Despite what it might feel like, the future remains malleable. Indeed, every potential future is a frail and unlikely thing. Some are more likely than others, but the one we end up in is the one we breathe life into. What we must do, what I believe we were put here to do, is to breathe life into the world we want to see, to commit ourselves to it, to resolve to walk in it, to live in it, to build it. There are things worth living for, and these things are bigger than ourselves, bigger than any one person. My advice is to find people who agree, and join your breath to theirs.”
