I feel like I just discovered a new genre of porn.
I hate how perfect bound books and adventures can't be scanned on a standard bookshelf. Makes it harder to find the one you want and makes the bookself look messy.
So I make these boxed sets for my loose RPG stuff. Each holds 3 inches of 8.5x11 books (I make the labels myself).

I remember having a UBI. It was called “living with my parents,” and I had all my food/shelter needs covered, plus free access to a (shared) TV, music, books, a library card, cars I could borrow and more.
I still worked drudge jobs, because I wanted to buy lots of comics and take girls to movies.

Always grinds my gears when people say "No one would work drudge jobs if there was a UBI"
But even staying completely capitalist, I disagree. If I received a baseline living-wage UBI, and then I was offered REWARDS for drudge jobs, I'd take it! I want to save up for treats and travel and hobbies!

Gender-affirming care saves lives
1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics.
It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT.
It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse.

The Trump administration asks you to consider just what kind of society we would have if everyone, soldiers included, simply stopped doing things that were illegal.

NARRATOR: That is very much not the oath they took
BLITZER: I want to be precise. Should members of the US military obey clearly illegal orders?
McCLAIN: You're asking an enlisted person for their opinion on what they think is legal. That's a pretty slippery slope. Follow your commander in chief. That's the oath that you took
(Not a no!)

Really looks like the United States is about to launch a regime change war against Venezuela with:
-No casus belli
-No authorization from Congress
-No allies or international support
-No plan for a post-Maduro Venezuela
-No preparation for any sort of stabilization or containment of the fallout

Fun concept. You could basically take the 12 Drives from Modern AGE and use them as a list, mixing and matching them with a d12 roll.
I really don't like anything about D&D's alignment system, but I appreciate its power as a shorthand, and I'd love to do something that could work similarly, and this is a swing at that.

A fun bit about X revealing where every account was created and where it’s run from is that they could have done that at ANY time. But tech companies generally benefit from the idea that their products are mysterious black boxes where the “rules” aren’t arbitrarily made up.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

Business promo aside, this is SO the reason to attend conventions as a creator and designer: To interact with peers, fellow gamers, and fans or potential fans of the work. I've long since lost count of the times I've said to myself "wow, I needed this" at a con.
Ok, two more emotional bits so I am not tearing up at the booth:
1. The amount of times people have come up and said something like "I just really like your vibe and want to support your work" has been truly humbling. Thank you very much. I promise to do my best to keep the vibes immaculate!
