The heaviest thing to carry is a grudge. Though it still doesn’t slow down dwarves at all. Which explains a lot, actually.

Thinking of Folgrath today. He was my first D&D character, a sheltered dwarf who was finally discovering his true talents as an adventurer.
Until he was ripped to pieces by a cave bear. 🐻 😢

My electrician is a green card holder who's been here since he was a kid. He got married to a citizen, applied for citizenship, went to court for the papers and when he got there ICE kidnapped him and he's been locked up for a month.

Finally got around to watching “Shin Godzilla” last night. I really enjoyed the problem-solving approach to the narrative. Also, the monster stuff was lots of fun, and surprisingly gory at times.

Had a fantastic time playing Magical Kitties Save the Day with the family last night. Found a really sublime balance between prepped and improvised material, and everyone was fully engaged, even the 5-year-old!

Being able bodied is always a temporary privilege. Whether by age, illness, accident, climate catastrophe, or class exploitation- we will all become disabled.
Disability justice is a struggle for liberation that frees and cares for all of us.

They are so funny. Our neighbors are being stuffed into unmarked vans, and they’re all like let’s vote against a term we probably can’t define instead.
The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
86 Dems joined Republicans in supporting the measure, incl. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

Democrats blinked. Again. Six weeks into a GOP-made shutdown, they folded without securing ACA subsidies. Republicans saw the collapse coming and instantly pivoted to abortion. Now they're trying to extend Hyde to private insurance.

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Last night, my players surprised me (they always will) when they boarded an astral ship and went to space. I was saved by the only non-Worm book I have at the table. I am reminded just how valuable this resource is. It gave me the freedom to adapt and still run the game in a radically new direction.
