Yo #indigisky any cartography in the house?
Do I know any Indigenous folks who make maps? Got a request for a paid design/cartography job and it'd be rad if I could connect you with them.

This thread has me installing Diablo 1...
Diablo 1 got it right the first time, and we've weirdly been drifting further from it ever since. An entire genre of anime based on Diablo 1 even appeared and starting gesticulating wildly in the other direction. And we're STILL ignoring it as an industry.
(no, Town In Dungeon doesn't count)
(no, Town In Dungeon doesn't count)
"Why megadungeons?" My pitch is that they are a campaign format that concentrates ideas, maximizes novelty, uses familiarity to advantage, and can be run in 2-4 hour sessions. Plus, between Silk Song and Delicious in Dungeon- everyone knows what they are! icastlight.blogspot.com/2025/09/why-...

It's the annual Firefly series rewatch
It's all going well, until we hit Episode 8 - Out of Gas
I know, academically, every time, that it'll hollow me out and fill me up at the same time. Every time, it still comes as a surprise

IME Union resistance within a workforce comes in two general flavours
1: Those who think if they make themselves small enough the company won't notice them to lay them off (you're on a spreadsheet)
2: Those who think they're a couple moves away from being a millionaire boss (and clearly are not)

Just to be 100% clear: do not *trust* your employers - that's super silly. The relationship is economical, not based in loyalty, trust, or kindness. There's no judgement in forming a union, just understanding that capitalism requires a risk of financial loss to get companies to do the right thing.
"Unionisation efforts just signal to employers you don’t trust them"
"Just profit share"
Have you been in the industry these past three years? Some ppl just wanna marry the boot

Full size here, but they come with a bag of chips. Big kids, grown ups, everyone welcome. If you have a costume - even a bad one - and you want candy tonight? We got you
only king sized bars at the tingle household
So I love listening to @chucktingle.bsky.social 's Patreon podcast, and in one of his latest ones he spoke about "being the house that gives out the big candy bars", and so this Halloween I really took it to heart & gave out Halloween goody bags. I've never seen so many excited kids!

So the less alarmist news outlets are quoting 14,000 jobs being cut.
And 40 billion being sunk into AI data centers (that will impoverish and pollute beyond comprehension only to inevitably fail)
That money would pay a living wage to all those 14,000 staff for **40 years**
