It's an actual game plan on the right. They use it for book bans as well. They start with something easy: no porn in libraries. That hooks in the low information folks. Then you slowly broaden the scope until you're yanking any YA that violates Christian nationalism.
one of many parallels between anti-vaxxers & those who oppose gender-affirming care: they start by pretending they have a very specific concern (MMR vaccine, puberty blockers, etc), but once given any sway or say on the matter, they quickly strive to eliminate all of it
Kennedy's zombie ACIP panel just voted to restrict hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. Experts say it will harm children for no reason. www.ms.now/news/rfk-cdc...

"'Do no harm' is a moral imperative. We are doing harm by changing this wording. And I vote no."

So, the anti-planner is a fantastic value at full price, and the $15 PDF bundle is a straight up steal.
Plus, Dani Donovan is the source of probably half of the really good diagrams about ADHD that get passed around the net with artist credit removed, so it's a good chance to balance some scales.

It’s not an aspect ratio thing. It’s a leaving-out-the-vfx thing. “Invisible vfx” are unnoticed until they’re gone. In the original, the crew was painted out and replaced by a potted plant. 🪴

People would rather cross a picket line to pay $5 for a cup of coffee that took 5 min to make than pay an author $5 for a book that took a year or more to write.
Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.
It's $5, not your first-born child! I need that $5 for health insurance!

The response to this article today from professional colleagues and the gaming community has really been heartwarming and humbling. I really do appreciate people engaging with this research, and taking the time to let me know (esp. if - like me - they played Twilight 2000 'back in the day').
Hurrah! My article on the Twilight 2000 RPG in the Journal of American Studies is now open access (OA), so anyone who wants to can have a read. OA is important to me, as I want my work on RPG history to go beyond the academy and reach the gaming public.
