[Continental] European friends, have any good recommendations for small scrapers to remove stickers that are easy to toss in a purse? Bonus points for locally made brands versus Amazon/Shein stuff.

My nails are sore from pulling off racist & anti-immigrant stickers in my neighborhood.

AAAAAND I'll be spending some time representing @tumblethrupod.bsky.social as part of the Podcast Zone at Dragonmeet :)
November 4, 2025 at 10:34 PM
I'll be at the hang-out and the panel 🙂

Any con I go to, there's this sort of weight on me that comes from being a very visible minority in a space. These spaces that center and uplift POC voices and work are critical and I'm glad they exist thanks to Taylor
I am BACK at Dragonmeet this year and we're doing things a bit differently. There's no all-day PoC Lounge this year but the midday hangout is STILL ON so come join us at any time between 12:30 and 2:30. We're also doing one panel where EVERYONE is welcome so catch us on Seminar Track 3 at 3:30💜

Imagine sponsoring more content that reinforces that our hobby and industry is only for white people when you could work with @euphoriaap.bsky.social and have equally talented tables that look like this

This is correct but also 10x more relevant for sponsored content. If you are taking money and only using it to pay white people, do better.
If you are GIVING money to a channel without stipulating some basic diversity in the end product, shame on you for the harm you are doing the TTRPG scene.
This discussion keeps happening, but ill keep saying it. Because I'm tired of seeing all white table, after all white table.

I'm also frustrated seeing majority white table with a single POC. It's entirely possible to put more than 1 person of a colour at a table. You can do it, I believe in you!

During the intersection of Black History Month in several European countries and Latin Heritage Month to highlight POC Latines in Europe, @euphoriaap.bsky.social has had multiple all POC tables.

So why is that, that, and that (yes, THAT one) TTRPG AP all white? What's the excuse there?

Latine POC in Europe are not to be missed!

It means a lot to me to have people who can relate to this beautiful heritage AND understand being mostly without wider or nuanced representation of their own culture within Europe, while trying to integrate and contribute

Seguimos aquí ✊🏽
Although not spotlighted, POC of Latine heritage are a vital part of many European communities. Ours too.

We're playing Pasión de las Pasiones by @blg.bsky.social & @magpiegames.bsky.social with an all Latine cast based in Europe. Supported by @luckyleafteas.bsky.social!

TOMORROW: 7pm BST/8pm CEST

I get to roll physical dice when playing on Foundry VTT because it links the result. For my @tumblethrupod.bsky.social friends, it looks like THIS when I win

(This was my 2nd roll for making this video, lucky!)

I was sick on 12 October and criminally also ran out of Tropical Queso Blanco 😭😭

BUT

Did you know that in Bolivia, 12 Oct is marked as Day of Decolonization? Venezuela, Day of Indigenous Resistance Argentina, Day of Respecting Cultural Diversity?

Fuck Columbus. No hay nada que celebrar.

Look at all these POC, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled faces from European-based friends! Why on earth are so many [European] APs so white then?

Also, this collage was made some time ago and doesn't reflect a lot of the newer ppl who have been on EUphoria streams, please forgive meeeeee 😭
EUphoria is community for #TTRPG creatives across Europe, esp. highlighting marginalised & underrepresented communities like POC, LGBT+, ND, disabled and more. There's so much diverse talent within our time zones and region

All socials & contact info in bio

📢 THIS IS WHAT EUROPEAN TABLES LOOK LIKE

Super excited to be organising and running this Black History Month UKI Raid train, starting with my stream for Kickoff tomorrow at Midday, join me at /Chochyplays on @twitchuki and support Black streamers and black history from around the world all this month!!!

The 2TB backup drive is full... It's mostly final edits and local copies of streamed APs from previous projects & channels

There's little reason to keep them. They're uploaded in other places...

*opens up a few and gets nostalgic*

I need to keep them but I need spaaaace 😭😭

Having produced this game, thus already seen it... it wrecked me

Seeing the drastic decisions that upped the drama... shocked me.

It's Ten Candles, so you might have an idea how it'll end for the characters. But you have NO idea what kind of ride it'll be.

Bring tissues
TONIGHT!

Yes, but 😛

For me, being the eldest child of POC immigrants felt like heaps of pressure and zero room for emoting or being human. Everything had to be perfect or it wasn't good enough. Everything was just OKAY AND GREAT.

I really resonated with Rei and Asuka.
#MECHtember happened because we think mechs are heckin cool. They're badass machines, they're part of amazing stories and worlds. They're a unique extension of a pilot and their HEART-

Happy Latin Heritage Month! This year I really reconnected with my Bolivian heritage through folkloric dance. It's grounded me and filled my heart.

Last week, I danced the Diablada. We're the prancing devils, in clothing and masks mocking our colonizers. It's how we find joy in telling OUR story.
