Remember — the first lie of fascism is inevitability. And it is a lie. We can fight back.

SCOOP: Many of the pages that went missing on Friday from the CDC website on Friday have reappeared — in response to intense media coverage, backlash from the scientific community and concern for the public’s health.

One of the moments that stick with me from when I got to play Curly. He cast Hunger of Hadar but it was flavoured as an opening to the feywild instead and emanated sheer madness, utterly out of his control

Skidaddle my beloved,,, how I've missed you so,,,

#oc #d&d #dragonborn #rogue

Drawings of a rogue dragonborn with tan freckles scales named Skidaddle. On the left is the original design, in which Skidaddle sports an open green blouse over a beige shirt reading "Vaal's Magic Classes", a leather corset and suspenders, a green newsboy hat, and baggy green cargo pants. On the right is her updated design with the same hat, pants and leather corset, but has since added a red puffer jacket, a worn out leather bag, and a gun holster. She also has proper foot wrappings now!

Because I don't see people mention this:

One very effective thing you can do if you can't delete your Instagram is to not interact with ads. Do not click or engage with them for any reason. Even if the brand is a good brand.

A bulk of Meta's value comes from selling ad space.

Ooooh you wanna play our game so baddd~ ooohhhh~

A screenshot from Fool Me Once, a visual novel. Whilst at a masquerade ball, the main character, Amara, wearily accepts the hand of the villain, Reyes, who smirks back at her playfully. He asks her: "May I have this dance?"

A screenshot from Fool Me Once, a visual novel. The MC Amara scolds Reyes in a hallway. "You can't just kill them!"

A screenshot from Fool Me Once, a visual novel. As the two primary characters dance, the villain Reyes looks away from his dance partner, confiding something vulnerable to her. He says: "To have one, just one conversation with someone change your mind... do you know how terrifying that is?"

A tribute to Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley by @hypergames.no.
🍃
A beautiful game in which you play my favourite fictional character from childhood as he restores nature to the valley, tears down signs, avoids police officers, plays his harmonica and searches for his missing best bud, Moomintroll.

Digital illustration of Snufkin from the Moomins, standing at the edge of a hilltop looking down over Moominvalley. The sun is shining over the sea, there are mountains in the background and autumnal looking trees in the valley. You can see the Moomin house and a small stream that has a wooden bridge over it. There's a teeny tiny Moomintroll sat on the bridge.
