A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

It's that time of the year again, where I return to Twitch and have to navigate an adjusted landscape. Send help. 😅

Highlighting some of the stunning birds we see in #Australia.
Most of these I see locally and in most suburbs depending on how green the suburb is, most towns are habitat friendly for birds with only the rarer birds found in more outer region locations.

I'm still so excited to have my first book in my hands.
I gotta think about what I'm putting on the sketch cover.
I can't wait for the rest of the shipment to arrive!

This is an amazing and very comprehensive list that I'd recommend folks check out, starting with @forta-ver.bsky.social who is not only a fantastic player, but also an incredible artist!
I said I'd do a list, so buckle up! It's a long one and I'm breaking it up into sections.

Podcasts/Video Series: @roadsuncharted.bsky.social (AP with a delightful cast and excellent GM)
@spookyasianclub.bsky.social (Two cool folk talk horror)
@nerdmysteries.bsky.social (Nerdy secret histories)
Giving Artists, Actors, Writers, and Video Creators their flowers shouldn't require an award or festival competition.

So go rate/review your fav.
Post what you like so they know & so that others can find it.

Community means loving & affirming out loud. Give Flowers while people a still here.

Awww yeah! I've paid my editor (The amazing @daydreamcomix.com ) and paid the first half of my artist partner's rates (The Inimitable @jennyodioart.bsky.social !) and that means The N.E.T.W.O.R.K. Man: Genesis is officially in production!

Wow, I'm beyond chuffed! Thank you @tabletopartsfund.org I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the judges comments, and am very appreciative of this opportunity, and the support you're giving to game designers. 🤩❤️
Legend of the Hidden Folk by @lucienneimpala.bsky.social is a rules-lite exploration of a magical fae world -- and themselves. Drawing on the power of oral storytelling, players wield the power of human memory to stop the encroaching Shadow Realm from unraveling the world of the Hidden Folk.

Source of Dreams by Sekayi Edwards is a divinatory storytelling TTRPG that blends introspection with reflective practice. Players journey across an allegorical hex map, using narrative prompts rooted in psychology and personal growth to explore the path toward a meaningful life goal.

Runecycle by @hiskih.fi blends OSR minimalism with modern narrative design, casting the player as the wielder of a Rune. This fragment of creation can defy fate -- use it to explore Monumnents in search of a way to break the cycle in this fast, melancholic journey inspired by GRIS and Neva.

Why we fight by @laurieblake.bsky.social is a game about resistance, memory, and radical hope. You play partisans fighting fascism—not with brute force alone, but through solidarity, sacrifice, and care. Advance not by violence, but by building bonds strong enough to carry a revolution.

This is heartbreaking. 💔😞
We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.
“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps
Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so…

Blue Beetle was incredible! I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching it.

I'm rewatching Ghost Rider and all I can think about is how I want to watch Spawn instead. 😂

Spawn is top tier, and I'll always be obsessed.
