i think the 'microblogging' format is systemically toxic, b/c in order to post about something you either have to condense it into a parody of the actual thought, or post a thread in which any individual part may be hijacked with a click into a lateral decontextualized scrap of it

Without access to healthcare, people die. If that access is possible, materially, but denied socially, that is assault and murder. Those that deny access to healthcare must be treated as such.

It's been a while since I've run and CoC / DG and it's starting to feel like a big hole. Not sure if I can put together an in-person group right now but the scheduling with most of my online nerds is also Complicated.

I'm trying to deal with some serious family issues and the lack of actual physical places to go to talk to people about it at is driving me up the wall.

this is one of Bush's advisors just straight-up declaring themselves to be fascists, but because fascism's actual processes were not broadly well-understood in the US at the time it wasn't seen as such.

Still one of the bleakest quotes I have ever read, from one of George W Bush’s senior advisers.

“Grocery stores throw out far more food than is shoplifted. Why don't shoplifters just take the food from the dumpster then. Because they have cameras on the dumpsters and security will be sent out when they see them on the monitors.” ~ mastodon.social/@AlSweigart/...

Grapes of Wrath 1939:
The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth. There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

This is a really vulnerable time for paypro call centers. It's already been reported that Mastercard is stressed by our persistence

I know we're all busy around this time too but let's fire the engines 🔥

#SaveSpeech

starting Nov 1st we're entering the holiday season, which is a big stress point for big businesses like Mastercard and Visa. These Paypros havent stopped cracking down on Adult Content, so we need to jump back into calling them in full force again!

A reminder that your @kanopy.com and @hoopladigital.bsky.social credits roll over at the end of the month! Watch a new movie, listen to some music, or check out a comic you’ve been meaning to read. There's plenty of spoooky movies to watch on both platforms if you want some Halloween goodness!

We are on our way to the last stretch goal! Sure would be cool to have @willjobst.bsky.social and @nightnoon.games write up those conversion kits for Mythic Bastionland and Shadowdark. For the Knight-Friends! And the Night-Fiends!

A particular micro generation of TTRPG designers does — and there are scholars trying desperately to reconstruct the fragments of what remains.

YES — you can and should keep multiple versions of InDesign installed. It's a little clumsy but, for example, it guarantees that your plugins/extensions won't suddenly malfunction or simply not be compatible.
freeners.bsky.social Nathanaël Roux 📩 Available for Work @freeners.bsky.social · 15d
I heard you say that years ago, and I've been doing it ever since. And especially do not update if you're in the middle of a project.

Also, I currently have 3 versions of InDesign currently installed, 2022, 2024, and 2025.
