I have no words for the incandescent rage at the casual erasure of disabled folks, because this shit happens far too often. @sfdirewolf.bsky.social was fierce about living life & speaking truth in ways we can all learn from. Honour her memory by masking up & protecting public health.
The new owners of Teen Vogue have already erased her column.

Many adventures from one RPG system can easily be ported into other RPGs.
Some are more effective than others.

My head right now: 🤯

So, #MovieTrivia question: Which Critical Role actor also co-starred in a movie with Roy Schieder, Helen Mirren and John Lithgow? And what was that movie?

What I love about this article is that there are so many great frames from the comic showing @sophiealdred.bsky.social as the Partheni. Plus it sets up how the book is a Prologue to @aptshadow.bsky.social ‘s novel series.

Wishing our friends at Subterranean Press the best of luck while they work with Amazon to get this straightened out. You can also buy their ebooks direct from them at subterraneanpress.com. (Cutting Amazon out of the picture.)
A quick note on the availability of our ebooks...

OOPS: turns out Softbank has firm commitments in Q4 to pour $30.5Bn down the AI rathole, and basically needed the Nvidia money to buy shares in a magic bean startup:

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

An excellent, considered and coherent refutation of those that argue against the existence of any art or fiction that contains aspects they find problematic or 'icky'.

Posted particularly for @foxhall.bsky.social , who I know has had trouble with these arrogant and self-absorbed fools.

WHY IS SHE NOT AN EX-BUREAUCRAT ALREADY?!

Either she had no idea of what she was ordering the IT department to do over their expert opinions, or she DID know and it was just corruption.

Either way they should be fired. Or at the very least, stood down without pay while there is an investigation.
A senior federal bureaucrat who dismissed her own department's cybersecurity advice and ordered a trove of parliamentary emails be released to a private company previously hacked by Russian criminals says she believed the risk assessment was "overrated" www.9news.com.au/national/jaa...

Publication day! The Spinosaur Tales with @markwitton.bsky.social is officially out today! I'll be going a much longer and more detailed thread later on as today is rather manic while I'm hosting 400 school kids to my uni campus, but I wanted to get this early post out.

Note the ‘British soil’ bit. My uni has plans to open a campus in China. The VC scoffed at me when I expressed concern that staff and students wouldn’t be able to speak freely, and that - as he said - the curriculum would be censored. It’s the price of doing business.
