For decades, faculty have refused to fight for their colleagues as whole disciplines were defended and 70% of faculty were casualized. We have set ourselves up for this moment. If there is to be aby hope of surviving it with the academy intact, we need to embrace a politics of radical solidarity.

I don't understand. My D&D campaign largely consists of holes.

The tool has been playtested with players ages about 5 to about 50 and apparently works out of the box. No prior experience needed.

It can get easier. 1 page, no need for premade "adventures" because your players write them with your help, only needs d6, and only 1 rule...

Be our guest. It's meant to be useful, and fun! It's had a ton of playtesting both before and since appearing in that form and seems to hold up.

Here you go, have at it!

Already did, that's how The Tool was born 😎

It depends on the domain, I feel. Most serious technical problems are now soluble. The remaining urgent problems are more social and personal.

I think this is common. My first DM used to say that dnd was his social life. It seemed to work for him to be fair. I need variety. I have a few different activities on my radar at any given time.

Put another way - how long will you wait? It seems like an ideal way to stave off many of the ills of aging, too. Memory, storytelling, problem solving, companionship. All the stuff science tells us we need to stay healthy as seniors.

Here's a thought. Our bodies know what they're doing. Our weight is always going in the right direction. It's not our fault that our society is sick.

I'm not terminally online. I think I'm basically invisible because of that 😂

I feel the lack of a father in law. Even my wife's grandpa, legend as he was, is no longer around. I'm the goddamned pater familias.

Yipes. I'm glad I learned to live with my depression 10 years ago. I had no idea it would become my top life skill in the dystopian future.

I rarely pass up a chance to sound like an idiot, though, so I am still into it. I love a challenge.
