In 2026, in #mtg commander games, I no longer want "I'm just a lil guy, don't interact with my board state".
Instead I want "Yeah I'm a problem come and get me" energy.

I think one of my favourite character types recently is:
"I identify as a weapon", like They/It, She/It kinda characters.

How does your OC express their gender identity? Did they ever alter their body (by surgeries, magic,...) to fit their gender identity better?

The key takeaway from this infographic from the Lore-Wiki that I published today for the players in my three-intersecting campaigns is that "Tiamat is well connected", to no one's surprise, but "Jules the Tavern Twink" is a terminal point and may or may not be a "Planar Force" if you know what I-

I'm quite sure I'm the only one in most of my groups that runs the very stupid "Arcane Bombardment.", so I think I'd go ahead and say this one is my signature.

My gay cousin* shared something that has been happening in my hometown.
A group of lesbians, fed up with not having any dedicated lesbian bars to go to, decided to start a weekly meet-up in a regular bar.
Spoiler: it didn't end well.🧵

Rest in power to Keith Porter who was murdered by an ICE agent in Los Angeles.
It’s terrible that his name is just now being circulated, but now that it is, continue to say his name.

Advocates want legal action after man shot and killed by off-duty ICE agent in Northridge
Advocates argue that the off-duty ICE agent wasn't trained for the situation and should have called police and waited for them to arrive.

I need everyone to applaud me, for the considerable restraint it took to not SCRELT along with Paramore's Decode at the gym during today's workout.

It takes an enormous amount of courage to stand there, keep filming, and scream "What the fuck, you asshole" at someone wearing a badge who just shot and killed one of your neighbors in cold blood.
I need people to wrap their minds around the fact that here in Minneapolis, ICE broke the window of a vehicle yesterday, pepper sprayed the occupants, and arrested them, and shot another observer in the face today, and OBSERVERS ARE STILL GOING OUT TO PROTECT THEIR NEIGHBORS AT MASSIVE PERSONAL RISK
I’m eating lunch, I’m having a panic attack, I’m charging my phone, and then I’m going back out to try and keep my neighborhood safe.

But I get it. It's hard to wake up to the injustice until it happens to you or someone close to you.
So if the murder of a White Woman by a Gov't empowered thug is what awakens you...
Then I'm not gonna shame you for taking so long.
Welcome to the starting line. There's work to do.

Ah yes, the gov't is lying to you when there's actual factual footage of what's occured.
Black and Indigenous People have been pointing out the injustice for years.
Latine and Hispanic folks are prime targets for ICE. Several LatAm US Citizens have died.

Grok is bad because it's creating NONCONSENSUAL sexual images of real people.
Not because sex is icky and should be scrubbed from the Internet.
The distinction is crucial at a moment when dangerous censorship legislation is bipartisan and widely misunderstood
