What a POS

jessdee.bsky.social @jessdee.bsky.social · 4d

I will never not bring up Gygax's reaction to the idea that one of the biggest early boosters to D&D was a woman.

Just a pathetic man.

Excerpt from an article about early TTRPG gamer Lee Gold and her interaction with Gary Gygax.

The excerpt reads as follows: “This is Gary Gygax,” said the voice, “and I’d like to speak to Lee Gold.”

“I’m Lee Gold,” I said. “I gather you got the copies of A&E I sent you.”

“You’re a woman!” he said.

“That’s right,” I said, and I told him how much we all loved playing D&D and how grateful we were to him for writing it.

“You’re a woman,” he said. “I wrote some bad things about women wargamers once.”

“You don’t need to feel embarrassed,” I said. “I haven’t read them.”

“You’re a woman,” he said.

We didn’t seem to be getting anywhere, so I told him goodbye and hung up.

Went to Union Creek in the Rogue River NF to close up family cabin for winter - and of course a Steller's Jay stopped by to supervise...

...the peanuts I brought. They came to supervise Peanut Distribution not "Proper Cabin Closing Procedure"

If you like my "Designated Driver" painting of a raccoon on a penny farthing that I did for Thorn Brewing Co, you can now get it as stickers! Add a little whimsy to your life, you deserve it. #BSNM #raccoon #trashpanda

Every so often I repost this photo of Darwin to prove he is the most perfect little man (see alt for more)

A beautiful black cat, the quintessential black cat. Never has there been a black cat, more black cat shaped than this black cat. He is standing on his hind legs with his paws on my knees, wearing a blue science officer, Star Trek shirt, and looking up with wide clear round eyes. The carpet beneath him makes it look like he has a little halo and he might as well.

Credit where it is due, @colorado.gov has issued the following statement.

What I would like to see next, as a citizen, is for the Governor to direct state police to actively intervene and prevent ICE attempts to detain Colorado residents without a warrant or judicial process.

Action > Sentiment

I am deeply concerned about the circumstances of the detainment and movement of Fernando Jaramillo Solano and two minor children. ICE did not inform us about this operation, and has not since. The federal government’s lack of transparency about its immigration actions in Durango and in the free state of Colorado remains extremely maddening. The federal government should prioritize apprehending and prosecuting dangerous criminals, no matter where they come from, and keep our communities safe instead of snatching up children and breaking up families. We have not been informed that any of those detained are suspected of any crime. Further, the federal government should promptly consider any asylum claims.

These are the names of the Colorado State Patrol officers assisting ICE in the illegal renditioning of my neighbors without due process.

Tell me @colorado.gov, is this what I’m paying taxes for? So you can kidnap my neighbors?

Are you only with us when it’s easy or are you gonna do something?

It is a corrupt system. I can't believe these people get off so often.

I lost a friend (cyclist) to a DUI driver. They got off too

I'm so sorry... we're being robbed of the people we love. And then to just give them their licenses back... after so little as a year? (I'll keep away from the imprisonment question; we don't have to agree) It's so important & urgent to stop forcing cars & trucks on everyone 😥

It really is. This just happened by me, too... I live next to the places mentioned and worked where the guy was a cop. He was driving a damn Silverado when he killed the person who was out for a run in '21. patch.com/new-jersey/b...

I rather think so! I've had a version of it that was very interesting in flavor: sweet, bringing the qualities of the bourbon to the fore, with the refreshingly verdant addition of mint. I look forward to ordering more in the future, personally.

FEETS 😍

Just your normal classic bumblebee with the normal number of wings and totally a vegetarian, don't worry about it

(bumblebee mimic robberfly, of course 🖤)

Chonky black and yellow bumblebee-like robberfly, chilling on a green oak leaf. Side view

Close shot of the creature's face; big black compound eyes and a yellow "beard" nearly covering the face

Very close shot put the creature's point yellow face floof. It's almost like a lion's mane

I dont think you did, but I've read it now and it's so bonkers... I mean, I got a sense even when driving a car that people would do stuff like this. I also drove a motorcycle for a while which was an interesting and different experience. Just... you run out of words for this stuff

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

You shouldn’t have to have your guard “up” at all times. When out with other adults and kids in costume, it should be ok to relax and enjoy the group. Someone with a gripe should stay out of the driver’s seat.

Yeah, I’m fine as always. It just doesn’t need to be this way. Thanks for your concern.

I don’t want to be the person who stands in the road. I’d rather walk around with the kids, not paying attention.

Really hoping to not get hit by a car this Halloween...

If you are considering driving on Halloween, DON'T. Stay home.

If you are going out on Halloween, BRING A FLASHLIGHT!

I don't even know how to begin telling you this story. It seems so unbelievable.

I was just hit by a SUV that pushed its way through a pack of children that were trick-or-treating together.

🤯

Story to follow.

Two of the works I’m proudest of in my life, hardly seems a coincidence they’re written by Mac

A monochrome lesbian romantic horror fantasy about couples therapy, and an apocalyptic thriller set in a bro’s basement. The man has range.

Enjoy, spooky friends!

May I make two suggestions for your horror movie viewing this week? 'Cause I've written two horror movies, they're both under 80 minutes, they're both awesome, and they're both rentable on Prime for under five bucks!
