Friends, a young family member (9, ND special needs) is interested in #DnD bc the characters in Stranger Things (he hasn't seen it) play it. I know for sure he wouldn't last 5 mins into an actual game with all the rules and talking. Is there a kid-friendly PC game that hits the same notes as DnD?

#sticker
10x10cm square sticker of a dark grey hare blowing on a yellow horn that is being carried by two white mice. There is a cloud like steam coming from that horn and in it is a text "nobody is free until everybody is free". The background is bright red with black and blue stars.

Please consider passing this along:

If you are a scholar interested in journalism and how it's coping with increasingly violent targeting and repression (see Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan, even the US), please consider sending in an abstract. There are even bursaries available for early career folk.

My son drew a demogorgon and stuck it over the TV's power button. You have to stick your finger right inside its throat to switch the TV on. How cool is that?

One of the many, many ways people are fighting ICE in Minneapolis is helping neighbors safely shelter at home during a time when abductions are genuinely rampant.

People in Minneapolis are doing *so much* great work

This was incredible. We fed 40 families today. Thank you to @jchavezmpls.bsky.social for helping fundraise, @elitalksmpls.bsky.social for organizing with me, and the dozen people who helped us pack and shop. And thank you to everyone who donated. I have no words.

My assignment for Winona Nelson's SmArtschool class: Choose a favorite book and illustrate a cover for it.

I picked "The Song of Achilles" by Madeline Miller, and my goal was to capture a similar bittersweet tone as the novel has.
Achilles and Patroclos, standing next to each other in front of a raging fire. Achilles is outfitted for battle and looks wistfully into the distance, while Patroclos ties some laces of his armor, also looking sad. Behind them and above there's the mosaic of a warrior in his chariot.

AOC: “I understand that VP Vance believes shooting a young mother of three in the face three times is an acceptable America that he wants to live in, & I do not — That is a fundamental difference between VP Vance & I — I do not believe the American people should be assassinated in the street”

I am leisurely making my way through Ursula Le Guin’s “Always Coming Home” and I came across a poem I just have to share.

The ending especially slaps.
ARTISTS Written on a white plaster wall in the workroom of the Oak Society in Telina-na. What do they do, the singers, tale-writers, dancers, painters, shapers, makers? They go there with empty hands, into the gap between. They come back with things in their hands. They go silent and come back with words, with tunes. They go into confusion and come back with patterns. They go limping and weeping, ugly and frightened, and come back with the wings of the redwing hawk, the eyes of the mountain lion. That is where they live, where they get their breath: there, in the gap between, the empty place. Where do the mysterious artists live? There, in the gap between. Their hands are the hinge. No one else can breathe there. They are beyond praise. The ordinary artists use patience, passion, skill, work and returning to work, judgment, proportion, intellect, purpose, indifference, obstinacy, delight in tools, delight, and with these as their way they approach the gap, the hub, approaching in circles, in gyres, like the buzzard, looking down, watching, like the coyote, watching. They look to the center, they turn on the center, they describe the center, though they cannot live there. They deserve praise. There are people who call themselves artists who compete with each other for praise. They think the center is a stuffed gut, and that shitting is working. They are what the buzzard and the coyote ate for breakfast yesterday.

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
