Former videogames industry, now a front-end web developer with a focus on accessibility, security, and testing. I'm also a model, photographer, dancer, and TTRPG player/actor, as well as an AuDHD hypermobile autoimmune baddie 💪

Luna as their water genasi druid character, wearing seashell and gemstone jewelry, a long wavy aqua wig, and blue/green makeup with ocean palette face gems, peering through green leaves in the foreground

Luna in a steampunk-style black floral and striped brocade corset with belt pouch and bronze goggles on their head. They are winking at the camera and standing in front of bookshelves containing fantasy and science fiction books.

Luna in a black peasant-top dress and black lace choker with bronze octopus and nautilus charms and chains. Their long dark hair is pulled back in a Victorian-style bun and they are wearing black cat's-eye style glasses on a silver moon-and-stair chain, sitting in a chair and gazing down at a hardcover copy of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Other Classic Novels by Jules Verne

Luna as Irina from Eat the Reich, wearing a long white wavy wig, vampire fangs, and a black Victorian-style dress with a high collar and lace-trimmed sleeves. They are posed on an antique wood chair with a red cushion in front of an intricately caved wooden mantlepiece covered in occult statues and hardcover books.

If we're talking about the greatest living lyricists, it's worth remembering that Wu-Tang Clan's discography uses a larger vocabulary than Shakespeare, so GZA has to be on that list.

www.pbs.org/newshour/art...

Shakespeare loses to the Wu-Tang Clan in vocabulary duel

“To be, or not to be” could have been the perfect start to a rap song. Some have even called Shakespeare the original rapper, his use of iambic pentameter the first dropped beat. So, it seems fitting...

We are alone in the Span, but that wasn’t always the case. This galaxy is a graveyard. Use the gravemarkers wisely.

Glowing spikes grow violently from the head of the staff. THORN. EAC Xenocultural Sample R-9, a.k.a. “Thorn”. Source: HBW 5202901 m; ruins. Materials Analysis: Ossified structures from multiple genomic sources. Cultural Analysis: Uncertain. Some form of violence. Domestication of large scale creatures, prolonged torture, or a weapon of war. The protrusions (”thorns” by testing staff) break off to embed in soft materials. Regrow rapidly for repeated impacts & deliveries. Prolonged exposure results in serration trauma and venom-based stimulation of pain receptors. Possible nerve damage. Mechanics: Melee weapon. d8 damage. If damage surpasses armor of target, embeds a thorn. Embedded thorns deal 1 damage, ignoring armor, at the start of an organic creature’s turn.

Right now—before the next wave of street protests—is the best time to learn how to make and use shields and reinforced banners.

Protect yourself and your community from rubber bullets, water cannons, batons, pepper spray, surveillance, and snatch squads.

Every workplace should have a rotating sleeper. Like every day it's a different employee's job to just sleep that day. It goes through the cycle so everyone gets a chance to just take a nap for a day on the clock. I can't say this would improve productivity, but I'm sure it's not a bad idea.

I should clarify: the red flag is not the act of vaping itself, but the fact that it was more than half of his entire personality

Luna (they/she) @lunalapine.com · 1d

Unfortunately they do exist. In the past couple of years I dated a guy who was in his 30s and still a huge Fred Durst stan.

...which should have been a massive red flag along with the "being a DJ" and "vaping" but, y'know 🤷

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Promptober Day 8: Spirit

How about a random NPC Spirit table? How about making them quirky and harmless for once, each with their own odd little desires?

After all, they were once mortal too. Why not bring that flavor into your game?

SPIRIT NPC TABLE

These aren’t your usual ghosts. They don’t crave vengeance or peace. They crave something small, strange, and heartbreakingly human.

Roll d10

Someone to remember the flavor of their favorite jam, lost to time.
A mortal to finish the song they never got to complete.
To see a long-forgotten vow fulfilled, no matter how trivial it seems.
They just want to sit by a hearth again, even if it’s only for a minute.
To be told a comforting untruth about how they died.
Someone to speak their name aloud under the open sky.
They crave the feeling of rain on their face, borrowed through a living host.
They don’t care who forgives them, only that someone does.
To deliver one last message to someone who’s also been dead for years.
They want to slip into a mortal's dream just once, to feel alive gain.

How to Use

Each spirit can serve as a quest giver, haunting, and/or companion.
Reward players who fulfill the spirit’s desire with blessings, omens, or gratitude.
Roll for tone: (1–4 bittersweet, 5–7 eerie, 8–10 dangerous).

Lock Down Your Life @lockdownyourlife.com · 1d

I guess me harping on age verification laws being terrible laws now has another real life use case and data disaster to provide as an exhibit in a future lawsuit.

👻 Autumn Nash 🎃 @withenoughcoffee.com · 1d

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

The good news is that if your flight isn't straight up cancelled because the government shutdown means we have no air traffic controllers, TSA probably ain't there to harass you either!
