I channeled all of the rage in my soul today into making a two page RPG, in the style of @deathbybadger.bsky.social's one page RPGs.

It was actually a very cathartic exercise.

Page one of the rules of Don't Invent the Torment Nexus, a very silly and quickly written RPG about being a Tech Start-up CEO.

This…. has never crossed my mind before but I completely agree? Pugilist is not in the vernacular the same way wizard and rogue are. Which is fine if there’s no other word to describe it.

Rest in peace, Miss Major.

ACLU @aclu.org · 13h

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78.

Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

One of the most important things trans people can do, on an individual level, for their own peace of mind and well being is have a stockpile of HRT. With the government constantly flirting with banning it in various ways, knowing you've got A Supply is huge.

Absolutely fuck this and fuck Newsom.

mady castigan✨ 🏳️‍⚧️ @madycast.com · 15h

Newsom vetoes both the PreP access and the HRT stockpile bill because he is worried it would increase healthcare costs...

He claims to support the aims of these bills. But the vetoes deny access to medical care for queer people.

(Context: He vetoed these 2 while signing 8 other queer rights bills)

Trans News Network @transnews.network · 15h

He also signed SB 590, which bolsters paid family leave.

The ad is one of the best things I've seen from a politician on transgender people.

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

When I started making a game about embracing queer love in the face of impending doom at the hands of fascists, it felt like a cathartic exercise to get my feelings out in a healthy way

Now it feels like a subversive piece of art

Oh how the zeitgeist of the moment can change in a few short months

As a protest optics nerd love about the inflatables is how much they visually disrupt and pull focus from the fascist shock imagery Noem & Miller are trying to create.

So many of these photos now look like the world's silliest dance party, backgrounded by a bunch of guys in uniform looking awkward
