Do I know anyone in Adelaide whose place I can crash at in November?

[Honestly, I think that's a part of Australia I don't know anyone at but if there's someone who'd be willing to host me in November, that'd be awesome.]

Thanks to the Big Ugly Bill, the state just hit me with a notice that they will be taking away my SNAP benefits if I don't work at least 20 hours a week.

I'm disabled and rely on contracted work and cannot meet this expectation.

Please help me survive:

I have such a hard time wrapping my head around studios that lay off experienced teams that just released a successful game

You have an experienced, proven team that makes successful games! That IS the business!

Same with Palestine. If you decide at any point that starving kids and shooting them for fun is anything other than unacceptable, you’ll never have a believable moral stance again in your life. You care for the innocent or you don’t. And, if you don’t, nobody should care what you say about anything.

reposted this today because the inverse is also true:

if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period.

if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Joshua Erlich @joshuaerlich.bsky.social · Aug 9

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time.

it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Centrists bigots and right wingers have this all backward. YOU are the ones constantly bringing up trans issues. I would be happy to not think about this shit every day of my life unless I was talking to or reading something by one of my trans friends and thought of it in passing. SHUT THE FUCK UP

Nightshade, the free tool that ‘poisons’ AI models, is now available for artists to use

The tool's creators are seeking to make it so that AI model developers must pay artists to train on data from them that is uncorrupted.

Give me a table with an actual diversity. Give me a table that covers multiple cultures, multiple perspectives, multiple worldviews any day.

Also if I was waiting for all-Filipino tables, I'd never play ever, never watch anything.

Every time someone mentions "I want an All Black table" or something like that, it makes me want to claw my eyes out, especially when the comment is literally on content where there are Black people. Is it because they work alongside an Asian and a White guy that it's not good enough representation?

If you’re a #TTRPG creator with a Patreon page, please do this survey and state that you’re opposed to the use of AI! We need to nip this in the bud ASAP.

The survey takes 2 minutes and will hopefully have a big impact if enough of us submit strongly negative opinions!

The truth is that the last couple of weeks have been a hell of conflict and depression and family stuff. But today, I am doing something for me.

I'm jumping back into my projects, if people will even work with me after I disappeared with everything that's happened.

This is one of many reasons why we regard that as a bad idea.
