A fact that sounds like bullshit but is actually true:
There is more square footage of parking *per car* in the US than there is square footage of housing *per person.*

a TTRPG pet peeve of mine is when people refer to the GM role (or equivalents) as being reflective of a(n implicitly negative) "hierarchy". same deal as people who think anarchism means "no specialized roles or decision-makers" and it's an immediate tell that you don't live in the real world tbh

bizarre phenom. of the late-2010s and going into 2020s attempt to constantly square a sex/gender distinction with excluding trans women & intersex people from talks about misogyny is that people have started treating "AFAB" as its own gender category. MtAFAB and FtAFAB transition will happen soon

I think "woke" was at least partly identified with "irritating" and the way we're rectifying that in Woke 2 is by being scary instead

I have a loosely-held belief that labor is actually the wrong lever to pull on to bring universal human dignity, and that targeting landlords (residential and commercial) and interest-bearing debt is what will create the real feedback loops we want

Games with procgen'd people tend to conceptualize "a person" in a very neoliberal "each person is a self-contained atom" way and this leads naturally to pathologizing: people have rigidly-defined disorders, quirks, sexualities. It feels flat and dishonest to me.

I will say that: while "leaving money on the table" is true, it's still the case that you can Choose Not To have stretch goals on your kickstarter.
If it's okay, I want to comment on exactly one dimension of the recent Rascal story about Yazeba's B&B, Possum Creek Games, Jay Dragon (note: a friend), and leaving vital contributors in the lurch:
I hate the warping impact that boom-or-bust product launch crowdfunding has on the TTRPG industry.

Legalize Accessory Commercial Uses all across Portland. Why shouldn't I be able to turn a front yard into a bike shop?

it’s very good for your spirit to learn to recognise the individual birds around your home, and to give them names
once you can identify them by name, you’ll learn so very many things about these neighbours you didn’t realise you had
after a time, you may even start to learn their language — a joy

If "defund the police" was a "bad slogan" we wouldn't still be talking about it. it's actually literally that simple.

portland politics has been such good television these last two weeks
tbh I think the Mercury buried the lede, which is that an Oregonian comments section troll / real estate developer appears to be using Councilor Dan Ryan as a mouthpiece

best time of my life was when I was walking to work tbh. remote work doesn't count, that's just its own hell.
“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath
