TromBone

Now you can doot your problems away in your #Pathfinder2E campaigns. We make new items for PF2E every week. Follow us to see them as they drop!

TromBone
ITEM 7
Uncommon, Magical
Price 265 gp
Usage held in 2 hand; Bulk 1

The macabre form of this functioning trombone is composed entirely of malformed bones that are fused together in disturbing and offputting ways. The bell is composed of a long since decomposed skull that seems to always be screaming. Despite its ghastly appearance, this piece is a fully functional musical instrument. This horn grants a +1 item bonus to Performance checks while playing music with it.

Activate-Doot Doot [2] (auditory, manipulate); Frequency Twice per day; Effect You play a short tune causing two illusory skeletal figures carrying similar instruments to emerge from the ground occupying your same space. The skeletons begin to dance around you and play an oddly upbeat melody for 1 minute. The skeletons move with you when you move.

Activate-Shivers Down Your Spine [R] (auditory); Requirements You have at least one illusory skeleton still dancing around you; Trigger A creature hits you with a melee Strike; Effect One of the skeletons jumps in front of the attack and shrieks loudly. The skeleton takes 15 points of the triggering Strike’s damage while you take the rest. The skeleton then crumbles into dust and disappears.

Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want.
To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough,
, just so
other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it.
Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

Exactly this. Being silent is not a protest to these people, they already want us to be gone.

What we need now is to act up, speak up and not give them a break.

We have to show the shareholders and investors just how big of a fuck up all this is

Because there won't be change until then

BlueSky does not currently have advertising or any real monetization. Doing a boycott/blackout will have absolutely no impact on them due to this, other than users who would be impacted by the censoring doing the work for them.

The real way to impact would be to post more. Trend. Make them moderate

A thing you can do to combat AI is actively sharing how much you dislike it, how you will never use it, and tell stories about how bad it is
The worse the word of mouth becomes, the more news paper articles will cover the negative sentiment, and the more their stock valuation falls

Got a mega edge-lord in your campaigns? Well now you can introduce the true lord of edges. Give them this cloak to make for a very pointed exchange!

We're all about making inventive items for your #DnD campaigns. patreon.com/abyssalbrews to get all the goods!

Cloak of Daggers
Wondrous item, rare (requires attunement by a rogue)

A foreboding cloak that has many sharp edges available at a moment’s notice. There is very little that is subtle about the appearance of this cloak. It’s made for the utility of those that do their best not to be seen in the first place. One thing is for sure, while you’re wearing one of these, the tools of a rogue’s brutal trade are never far away.

While attuned to this cloak, you can retrieve a spectral dagger from it at any time during your turn. You can do this a number of times per day equal to your proficiency bonus. Spectral daggers grant a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with them. These spectral daggers stay magically stuck in enemies when you hit with an attack with them and cannot be removed until they vanish 10 minutes later.

While wearing this cloak you can use an action to spin in place, whirling the daggers on the bottom of the cloak outward. All creatures within 5 feet of you must make a DC 14 Dexterity saving throw taking 1d4+1 magical piercing damage on a failed save and half as much on a successful one. If a creature has one of your spectral daggers stuck in them, they also take magical piercing damage equal to your sneak attack damage and the spectral dagger then vanishes.

The only reason Bluesky exists in the form it does today is through the efforts of an entire community of trans shitposters. They are the bedrock foundation of this place and Bluesky needs to acknowledge that and take special measures to protect them. This is the very least Bluesky owes trans folks.

Imani Gandy Corn 🎃 @angryblacklady.blacksky.app · Dec 9

Which is why Bluesky needs to yeet Jesse Singal out of here. And to yeet JKR on sight when she brings her hate brigade over here. It should be non-negotiable.

Every time the subject of Jimmy Fallon’s spinelessness comes up, I think of this passage from Tina Fey’s Bossypants

66 Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers' room, waiting for the Wednesday night read-through to start.
[...] Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can't remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and
"unladylike"
Jimmy Fallon [...] turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said, "Stop that!
It's not cute! I don't like it." Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. "I don't fucking care if you like it." Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit.
With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn't there to be cute. She wasn't there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys' scenes.
She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

Tina Fey, Bossypants
