Americans, I know it’s only a very tiny minority of you, but if you have an opinion on Ireland whilst remaining ignorant of its history and culture and your opinion is instead based on your own experience of what is happening in America.

Please fuck off.

Hi all. As many of you know, my kid is trans and is probably the most awesome person alive. I hate to ask, since I know we are luckier than most, but medical care in the US is a disaster & I can't cover this on my own. Please share & help Lou become the version of himself he wants to be. ❤️

It is often said that you should choose your friends wisely, and that is true. A true warrior knows that the reverse is true, too. Your friends have also chosen you. Strive always to live honorably and prove they chose wisely.

The lesson was not about the sexual inclinations of the citizens towards each other, it was explicitly about their assumption that non-citizens had no basic human rights. That is why the land “cried out against them.” They were rich and saw all visitors as enemies reducing their share in the wealth.

Since it FINALLY feels like autumn around here (mostly - the leaves mostly haven't even turned!) I pulled out the crockpot, made a roast. Taters, carrots, mushrooms, gravy.

Next up - some form of soup or stew. Haven't decided yet.

Find/make joy where you can, folks, even in the simplest of things.

Since the Bluesky team is bigoted against Link, he is unable to conduct Mutual Fund Friday, and so in his absence we must do it for him. SNAP benefits disappearing means a LOT of people mightily struggling. So can we try?? :)

If you need help, drop your links below. Everyone else share & donate.

Therapy is great for me, it's helpful, it's USEFUL. It also leaves me completely unable to deal with reading social media after a session.

So, it's useful in a lot of ways, apparently.

So, a highlight from #GameHoleCon. (Thread)

Running #OldGodsofAppalachia for a group who'd never played the game and was barely familiar with the podcast.

They find the skeletons of a couple who were probably on the same quest they were on, for the same reason - to get a curse removed.

Arrived and all set up for #GameHoleCon!

I’ll be running #OldGodsofAppalachia for @montecookgames.com and generally Nerding Out.

If you’re here at GameHole, leave a comment or DM if you’d like to say Howdy.

I mean, we literally JUST had a marginalized artist have a book yanked for her comments online! You think I'm going to curse up a storm here so Klansman Flanders can go snitch to an editor about it to make sure another black writer is blackballed from the industry? You must be crazy.

Hey, if you love someone go tell them, please. Right now. It won’t take long. Just send them a DM or a text or just do it on main. Whatever it is, just go do it. People need to know how much you love them.

Tonight I got to be a Big Brother in spirit to one of my friends. I know him through TTRPGs, he’s younger than I am.

I hope I made Dave proud.

Thanks for helping to teach me how to do it, Dave. Goddamn I miss you, Big Bro, but this reminded me some of you is still here with me.

The enemy of my enemy honestly has their own reasons i don’t know if I really condone them and the enemy of my friend maybe has a valid point and honestly experiences are unique and heavily dependent on context my back hurts.
