UPDATE: Israel's cabinet has approved the first stage of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire deal with Hamas — a move aimed at ending the two-year war in Gaza and freeing hostages on both sides.

Since there's no real centralized information system in the Avatar/Korra world, you could probably basically move to a different city and keep your head down and be okay, as long as you made at least a minimum amount of effort to change your appearance.

Think, like, Zuko and Iroh living in secret.

Hypothetical for the GMs, writers, and worldbuilders out there;

You are a significantly wanted criminal in your setting. Think "America's Most Wanted" level.

You want to turn over a new leaf, but don't want to serve any sentence.

How would you go about avoiding capture and attention?

As a New Yorker - eyyyy (derogatory)!
As someone who doesn't care about baseball - eh (affectionate)

"fantasy world governed by an obtuse leveling system" and it's still 100x better than what we've got going on here right now

Becca speaking: Reminder that we do our own thumbnails when we upload our sessions to youtube! Here are some of my recent faves ☺️
#ttrpgart #dndart

Cartoonist drawing of three TTRPG characters peeking out from behind a partially closed wooden door. One is a storm genasi with purple hair and an eager expression. One is an albino drow with a confused expression. One is a regular drow with white hair and a similarly eager expression. They are stacked in top of each other.

My hot take is that you should just title your smut like you’d title any other book, cause I once saw Slutcraft: Heart of the Sperm and I was like that’s simply too much

i think we lost our way as a species when we stopped coming up with fun, pun-riddled porn titles like Lord Of The Cock Rings instead of SEO-focused shit like Fucked In The Laundromat By My Second Cousin Twice Removed or whatever

Well, if we're including Discord under the general social media umbrella...

-I met my wife
-Met most of my best friends
-Started a kickass actual play podcast
-Found an accepting queer community

Has anything great happened in your life because of social media?

Jonaya Riley @ Moment of Balance @jonayariley.bsky.social · 1d

If we're counting discord in the "social media" umbrella - fuckin' same! @acmusic.bsky.social knows what I'm talking about (because she's my wife)!

Double Olivia art for y'all today. She loves to ramble on about movies and sleep at work.

#OliviaMidnight

Olivia rambling on to a customer about the movie Robocop. The customer is not listening and just thinking about how pretty she is.

It's international lesbian day so you're required to be nice to me and listen to @momentofbalance.bardrockcafe.com which also has lesbians in it and I play one of the lesbians and the lesbian looked at me and-

Wait what were we talking about again?

Oh right, lesbians! Which I am!

Get yourself an autistic girl that will love you until she dies and will also love you after she is dead and will probably haunt you so you don’t feel lonely

Who could say no to this face when he wants treats?

A black and white cat sits on the floor, staring up with big round eyes as if begging for treats.

I've been making tuna salad sandwiches for lunch the last couple days and every time I make one this fuckass cat sits there craning his neck towards the counter like... dude, I'm not giving you any you had tuna for dinner last night!

This is a really cool solution to the issue of screen shake just seeming like too much a lot of the time!
