Nice moment when characters help each other with Animal Handling to get away from combat. And Mags finds out that her sword has R&B vibes.

Age verification via face scans is not safety — it's surveillance. Biometric age guessing is inaccurate, discriminatory, and creepy AF. Stop normalizing it. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I saw it coming over time, as each #RPG system would take another space, spreading on my bookshelves. The day has finally come when the books of different RPG systems are able to join forces to take the entire top right niche in the picture, relocating the Star Wars books that used to live there.

Bookshelves with Star Wars books and action figures, and a bookshelf with RPG books.

After working hours, I participate in a theater production, take an acting course for tv/cinema, GM a #DnD campaign, and write my first novel. No wonder I haven't played #BaldursGate3 in months. And I'm yet to play #DeadTake, new game with awesome Neil Newbon in the cast.

I'm playing in the D&D campaign Curse of Strahd, and I realized that Strahd is basically Dungeons and Dragons' Dracula.

After watching Dracula: A Love Tale (2025) last Friday, I watched Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula (1992) this weekend, now I'm reading Bram Stoker's novel, because I'm curious to find out what's different in the movies.

It seems that the RSS feeds are now in the same "Following" timeline, despite having its own "RSS" timeline. It resulted in a "Following" timeline flooded with RSS. Is there a way to follow RSS, but keep them out of the main "Following "?

"A.i." doesn't empower anyone. It strips them of belief in themselves and the power of their own minds and hands and abilities and stories.

EVERY KID CAN DRAW. EVERY KID CAN TELL STORIES AND MAKE COMICS.

Fuck "A.i." for telling kids lies and making them less-than.

"I.A." não empodera ninguém. Ela arranca das pessoas a confiança nelas mesmas e no poder de suas mentes, mãos, habilidades e histórias.

TODA CRIANÇA SABE DESENHAR. TODA CRIANÇA SABE CONTAR HISTÓRIAS E FAZER QUADRINHOS.

Foda-se "I.A." por contar mentiras pras crianças e torná-las menos do que são.
