I am not a big Ghibli fan. Not a big movie fan. But even I have a soft spot in my heart for Spirited Away. The wonder of it has stuck with me for a very long time indeed. The sense of scale, of possibility, age and energy...
If I were to define fantasy with a single source, it's that.

Since Ghibli inspiration is in the news, let's share what we found in Miyazaki's stories that inspired us. Inject some positivity
For me, that core belief that no one is good or evil inherently. We act, and those actions have results both good & bad. How we handle those is the test of our humanity

*holds head* Okay, time for a #TTRPG rant/hot take.
I'm an Exalted fan. And while I love the world and story as a whole, I have to wrestle with the fact that it's got one of the biggest, dumbest, most orientalist bits of BS out of anything in the TTRPG hobby that I have ever encountered.

Been doing some mad author-ing! Decided to try rewriting my prologue in second person present. I'm kinda fascinated by the result, unsure if this was successful or not, but for now - onward!

Trans women and girls are being excluded from services across the UK that they've used for decades because of legal pressure and targeted campaigns.

BREAKING: RFKJr directs that the US instantly stop recommending all vaccinations for children. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
Under RFK Jr., U.S. plans to stop recommending most vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

I'll say it again: if any other ethnic or religious minority said "please don't use this particular term or chant, you might not have bad intentions but it is deeply racist and threatening to us", the reaction would be mortified apology.
