I should probably get this out of the way. Can I pin posts here? 😁

FUCK TRUMP AND FUCK YOU FOR VOTING FOR HIM.

Despite the constant hate and bullshit from certain sects of people, to me there is absolutely nothing better than being not straight.

Queer joy isn’t just resistance — it’s gorgeous.

So take up space. Laugh loudly. Wear the boots.

HR 1 passed the House. It hurts, but it’s not law... not yet. It heads to the Senate next.

We are still valid. Still worthy. Still loved.

No bill changes that.

You’re not “too much.”

Some people are just… painfully unseasoned (or just generally lacking).

Too often, everything north of Bangor slips quietly from memory... erased by the comfortable blindness of what some call “The Other Maine.”

The queer community is no exception.

Your identity isn’t up for debate.

And honestly, if it was, you’d still win.

I ...

just can't even.

WOW.

George Takei @georgetakei.bsky.social · May 20

Brilliant idea! Next they’ll invent seatbelts and call them “freedom straps.”

I'll be loud for you.

Rainbow Roots Maine @rainbowroots.me · May 19

You don’t have to be “loud” to be proud.

Existing as yourself is radical enough.

Nisha Moonstalker is a fantasy realized; sharp of wit, fluid of form, deadly of blade, and absolutely unforgettable. A perfect blend of elegance, danger, and depth.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

She values beauty, grace, and wit, in herself and others, and holds a quiet but unshakable fury for those who deny others their agency or autonomy.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

Nisha’s cat ears and tail, once symbols of a stereotype, are statements of pride and control over her own narrative.

Nisha is playful, clever, flirtatious, and deeply loyal to those she chooses to trust. She is just as likely to whisper sweet nothings to a mark as she is to bury a blade in them

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

With feline grace and a thief’s finesse, she turned them into a part of her personal brand.

Her story carries deep meaning. Her transition wasn’t just physical; it was a fierce reclaiming of her truth, and every thread of her identity is hers by choice and effort.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

She has embraced animage inspired by her affinity for cats, complete with sleek tiger stripes, cat ears, and a tail. The tiger stripes, rather than being cosmetic, are semi-magical in origin.. a permanent side effect from mysterious potions and back-alley remedies she used during her transition.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

Nisha Moonstalker is a trans woman half-elf rogue, confidently striding the streets of Baldur’s Gate and the shadows beyond with equal grace. Striking in appearance, she embodies a mix of feline agility and alluring mystery.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 18

Let's talk about my new tabletop character. She's next up in my rotation, once I retired my Necromonk. She's already being used in BG3.

Here's Nisha's story (a thread):

And I love it.

In my D&D worlds, no one “comes out” because no one has to. Gender identity and sexuality are as natural and accepted as eye color. Everyone is valid, and love and selfhood are just... part of the world. As they should be. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈⚔️

And before that... I may have already posted this.. the ship ride from northwest Chult to Mother-of-Mists (one of the "sisters".)

Last two game's maps. Winterkeep! And the planar anchor hiding underneath the Great Ice Sea.

Jon MacQ @bearsoftme.bsky.social · May 7

Yeah, I've been a little quiet, and haven't been interacting with the amazing people on the @dungeonalchemist.com discord. Spring has sprung... no free time.

No worries though.. I'm still cranking out maps... here's Saturday's game.

"We practice selective annihilation of mayors and government officials, for example, to create a vacuum, then we fill that vacuum. As popular war advances, peace is closer."

Yes. That darn buckle.

Nowhere is it written that the buckle HAS to be in the front. ;-)

They really love making up shit to be mad about.
