Freaking this. I'm tired of religious institutions hiding under the skirt of their faith to protect kiddie diddlers.
After @startribune.com and ProPublica investigated child sexual abuse within a Minnesota church, a lawmaker is pushing to change the state’s mandatory reporting rules: “These victim survivors coming forward ... it would just be wrong to not respond.”
Lawmaker Calls for Stronger Mandatory Reporting Rules Following Our Investigation Into Church Abuse Case
Mandatory reporters in Minnesota can be charged with a misdemeanor if they do not report child abuse to authorities. But violators of the statute are rarely convicted, and fines are often similar to t...

We're gonna be playing Pathfinder (think D&D but better) over on Cool Zone Media Book Club for the next six weeks, and I figured why not start with a little prequel story as a teaser, complete with character art.

So horror books based around purity culture is a thing? You'd think the real thing would be horrifying enough. Anyway, The House's Daughter by April Boulware looks like it'd be a good read.

I’m so tired of hearing Rubio & other rightwingers now claiming that if you’re on a green card you’re a ‘guest’ in this country. BS. You’re a lawful permanent resident. The clue is in the name. If someone is a permanent resident in your home, are they the same as the guests who come and go? Come on.

So I keep a tally of people who give me a passive-aggressive "Merry Xmas" whenever I wish them a happy holiday. I thought the general public was slipping this year, but today I've been getting a surge of them. #nontroversy #waronchristmas

Been kinda in the market for tokens that some RPG players use in lieu of tokens. I get that fantasy-based systems are the most popular ones, but come on. There has to be someone out there that's actually branching out to other genres.

Elon Musk is a distraction. The goal is not to eliminate federal jobs, but replace them with what the head of Project 2025 called an "army" of Christian nationalists.
