I'm not very good at playing magic the gathering, i'm mildly obsessed with Philadelphia sports (sometimes). I'm a Gen Xer who read the book (did you know there's a book?) and a PhD drop out. Neurodivergent, i like to converse, ask me something.

poorly worded and odd since it’s probably the first time. wizards looking to blame creators when not giving them positive nods in the past. my sister has worked making sure standardized tests and surveys have balanced questions. she’s probably have fun with this one

well there’s a very specific reason people have a problem with substack and it’s similar to twister. things that are pro nazi tend to offend people. and substack is actively pro nazi and very clearly. hut please just be super defensive and continue to excuse using troubling platforms as our fault.

ME: "Girls, I'm going to a college campus today. Would you like me to see if they have a stuffed animal of the mascot for your collection?

KIDS: "lets see the mascot"

(shows them the Penn State Nittany Lion)

GIRLS: (visibly recoiling) absolutely not. Please do not bring that to our house.

Silksong should have difficulty settings

Some people don't need the help, and that's fine, but from both an accessibility standpoint and a consumer standpoint, it should have options to help those who need it.

Imagine buying a game and never seeing 70% of it because you couldn't beat a boss.

Let them know what you think.

Gov. Healey: 617-725-4005
AG Campbell: 617-727-2200
Fenway: 617-267-0900

cis Bostonians specifically, we need you to step up. I'm already seeing my local trans circles raise hell about this, but we need you, too. I wrote a phone script. Use it and spread it:
Hello, my name is [name] and I'm a [transgender] constituent living in [City], Massachusetts. I'm calling to bring to Gov. Healey's attention the deeply alarming development coming from Fenway Health, in which they've recently announced they will no longer provide gender affirming healthcare to patients under the age of 19 in order to retain their federally recognized status. This is in utter direct violation of our state constitution, specifically Chapter 127, in which quote, "Access to reproductive health care services and gender-affirming health care services is a right secured by the constitution and laws of the commonwealth. Interference with this right, whether or not under the color of law, is against the public policy of the commonwealth." This is also in contradiction of Boston declaring itself a sanctuary city for transgender people, the resolution which states Boston has, quote, "a specific commitment to protecting transgender and gender-diverse individuals. Taxpayer-funded agencies shall not comply with federal efforts to strip resources that safeguard their rights. Boston will not cooperate with federal or state policies that harm transgender and gender-diverse people and remains committed to ensuring their access to healthcare...without fear or discrimination." As Massachusetts' first openly gay Governor, I'm aware that this past August Gov. Healey signed updated Shield laws protecting gender affirming healthcare in Massachusetts. Jordina Shanks, the CEO of Fenway Health herself, said these protections are quote, "a landmark victory for health care, human dignity... and that Massachusetts stands as a national beacon of equity and compassion." I am in complete and utter disgust, yet unsurprised, that a leading institution in gender affirming healthcare is capitulating to federal threats that are not law, and acting in direct opposition to the city of Boston and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This is a deep betrayal of their transgender patients. I urge Gov. Healey to bring all powers of the state to investigate and reverse this gross over-compliance on the part of Fenway Health.

NEW: Pentagon officials are forcing staff to watch Pete Hegseth's "Warrior" speech he forced generals to listen to.

Officials are even "testing" staff to see if they watched — and are threatening consequences if they lie about watching it or if they mock it, sources tell @swin24.bsky.social and I.
