Just a reminder that those cheap but cool items you get from Ali Baba, Temu and their ilk are usually stolen designs from small (and super talented) artists.
Just happened upon a photo in Goblin Dice Hoard on fb of somebody’s new dice… that were obviously made using my mass production molds. I did so much work to make that font work for dice molds, and spent SO much money to get those production molds made.
I have no recourse but I’m angry. 😡

This is me finding out some airlines have tap water like please do not drink the Dune recycled water that an airline is calling “tap”
Airline water safety varies widely, with most major airlines scoring very poorly. Nearly 3% of airline water samples tested positive for coliform bacteria. Experts advise avoiding tap water, coffee and tea on flights.

With RFK Jr again further reducing access to vaccines, your regular reminder that now would be a good time to restart wearing a high quality mask regularly again for an added layer of protection from airborne diseases.

We don't have the disability education infrastructure to support a growing number of kids who are going to be disabled because their parents didn't get them vaccines against illnesses that can lead to the development of disabilities.

Saw a post theorizing you now encounter more people listening to things on speakers in public spaces because Apple banning the headphone jack did not result in people switching to Bluetooth headphones, it resulted in people abandoning headphones. I'm on an airplane RN and. Thinking about that. Hard.

Whenever folks talk about keeping politics out of spaces, my default interpretation of that is that it means I am not welcome. I am inherently political. My race. My sexuality. My gender identity. My socioeconomic history. My vocation. All of it is political. If I tuck those away, what's left of me?

If you're using AI to generate fanfiction you're a loser. We write fanfiction for the love of the game, the characters, the need to fix a horrible ending. You use the wrong punctuation not because you're stupid machine, but because you graduated high school over a decade ago and forgot grammar.
