An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

@spoutlore.bsky.social is playing Bump in the Dark for the next of their Patreon-only Up All Night playtests! Here's a preview of their character creation episode: pca.st/episode/8b65...

what's that in the distance?

Part 3 is here. The deep dive into the Ennies. If you're someone who doesn't know much about the Ennie Awards, you should read parts 1 and 2. But if you like a bit of inside baseball and are interested in award shows in general—this is the article for you.

Me and who

Duamn is one of my all-time favorite artists, and favorite people in general. He just got laid off. He's in Latin America. He's NOT AI.

Pretty please if you have art needs, hit him up.

I am Jewish. Israel is a country where sexual assault and child murder are core tenets of the culture. This country should not exist. They act with such extremity because they know when you tell people what they actually do, it's so bad it registers as unbelievable.

BLACK FLIES LAUNCHES TODAY

Worker owned things will have much better time existing when people will understand that “the rich/capitalists” doesn’t mean “anybody who gets paid (slightly more than me) for their work”

play time's over!!

Suspending Erin Biba, a Jewish woman for this skeet is nasty work. Between this and intentionally misreading Link’s use of a meme as a threat, bsky mods are more than willing to ban based on the Spirit Of The Law for *some* posters but never Jesse Singal.

The 2008 Great Recession was a wealth transfer of tens of thousands of dollars from every Black and queer family in the United States to the largest banks.

No, seriously. A study afterward found the average Black family lost *50%* of their wealth. The average queer family lost 12% of their wealth.

TONIGHT at 8:30 PM EST, it's The Dovecote with @seaexcursion.itch.io! Tune in as we discuss Caro's wonderful and influential games, ttrpg news and more!

Absurdia Update: meet the guest writers!

I’m beyond excited to announce Elliot Davis, Irving Benitez, Kendrick Smith, and Samantha Leigh as our stretch goal guest writers!

At $25k, this wickedly talented cabal will put together a kaleidoscope of ready to play one shot scenarios for Absurdia 👁️

I like making more physical type trackers but along those lines for ttrpg character stats.

Hopefully the whole Bari Weiss thing and Ezra Klein thing starts waking people up to the fact that corporate media is mostly populated with mediocre people who have made millions and gained unbelievable influence because they threaten nothing and tell wealthy people exactly what they want to hear.

Ephemera, perhaps? I could also see it as a “pack” of some kind when on its own. How about calling it a toy box?

bluesky: community moderation! we're all about community moderation! we want you to moderate yourselves! we are giving you the tools to do it yourself!

#LandBack is a way forward.

I believe if the metal is flat and has no edges or points from which the electricity can arc, it can be fine? I’d double check for sure though lol

Papercult is still up and running and thriving, which is something I *should* periodically remind people when the owner of this site isn't crashing out, but especially when they are: papercult.club
