Mostly true, though I would still like to make more than two parties viable. Having only two is part of the dynamic where there's always winners and losers, us and them, and the two parties don't compromise or work together but just wait for their turn.

How about instead of districts, a party gets a percentage of state reps equal to their vote share. That's how it's done in many other representative democracies. It also breaks the two party system apart. There's nothing in the condition preventing this and some states actually used to do this.

We've got just a few add-ons planned for the campaign, but they're pretty cool. I'm working hard today to pull together the preview for one of them.

I can't wait to show you!

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Troupe style is one of those approaches to RPGs that people resist but I tend to find love when they actually try it.

Basically:
You have a character that's yours.
You may have a secondary character.
You then have a pool of other characters you can grab as needed.

My group wanted to play troupe style but didn't enjoy the complex mechanics of Ars Magica, so I made an Otherkind Dice-based RPG in that vein. Worked great for us! Free here: cwgriffen.itch.io/chantry-arca...

I know a lot of people are already spreading this info, but hoping to spread it a little further: donating to a food bank, food pantry, or food distribution mutual aid group is really important right now, as TFG and the fucking GOP are shutting down snap benefits on November 1. I'll link to a few

Update: I started reading a different book I already had lined up, but the dungeon kept calling to me, so I ended up buying the second Dungeon Crawler Carl book and got 10% through it last night and this morning 😁

I finished Dungeon Crawler Carl on my ride to work today. Pretty fun! Definitely set up as a long series (the ending felt more like the end of a volume in a manga series than a novel arc). And left me curious enough to check out the next one :)

In U.S. legal writing (law journals, case law, etc.), spaces are omitted. At least that's how I was taught, and our technical editor agreed (it comes up now and then as a consistency matter for large documents with multiple authors).

The same has been true for cabinet positions this whole time...

If you can afford it, a *monetary* donation (it goes a lot farther!) to your local food bank would be a most excellent thing to do right now.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

I'm so sick of discourse from supposed allies about where trans people went wrong.

Where we "went wrong" is that billionaires spent unimaginably large sums to attack us repeatedly and major media outlets have spent a decade piling on.
