🚨 There's a NEW item on the Dropout Store!
A reminder from Brennan: laws are threats created by a dominant socio-economic group.
And what better way to remember this, than on a t-shirt to wear close to the chest.

Dragon Age games lack agency, and that's the whole point
All that matters is who you love, and how you do it

Don't make your lawyer cry.
Well not like that anyway. Making them burst into tears upon seeing the DA had to dig out a 300yo law to charge you because that's the last time anyone used an ox as a deadly weapon is fine.

Signal is more secure than most digital platforms for communication but also you should not plot crimes in Signal because Signal is only as secure as the weakest person in your groupchat when under interrogation by police and also planning crimes in writing makes your lawyer cry.

Disabled person standing in solidarity with the NYSNA in their quest to achieve appropriate staffing levels and workplace safety measures!
Nearly 15,000 NYSNA nurses from Mount Sinai Hospital, Mount Sinai Morningside and West, Montefiore, and NewYork-Presbyterian are on strike today because greedy hospital management have given frontline nurses no other choice.

I really, truly, so do not want to be "that guy," this this is a conversation that happens among Black and Brown folks (in my experience) at least twice monthly.
We've BEEN asking this question and everyone else is just playing catch-up.

This one's about Planescape: Torment. I was commissioned to cover it, so I have. I was... disappointed to find I didn't really like the game. I tried not to be too mean, but I really, really disliked this game's treatment off women.
