April is black, she always was black. She was made into a red haired white woman to be marketable for a TV show.

You know "woke pandering" to make the white folk feel comfortable.

Can people like this please just quit already? They tarnish the game with their presence.

Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book.

[email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories.

Please feel free to share.

Listen—it's all connected. If you oppose $50B of our taxes to ICE to abuse people in the USA—but support $38B of our taxes to fund Israel's military occupation of Palestine as they abuse Palestinians far worse than how ICE abuses Americans—then you don't actually oppose ICE abusing people in the USA

Life for the civilians who survived in Gaza is in ruins. They're homeless, jobless and hungry, and rely entirely on our direct donations to survive and rebuild.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children and make a home. And to others. ❤️ 🙏

If your parody and satire is strong enough you loop back around to creating a new genre that then others create parody and satire about which I think is kinda cool too

The story of how we even got the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an inspiration for me to keep making my own ideas and not worry what people think because those two literally were just doing whatever they wanted when they made those funky brothers

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Am I biased? Sure. KDot is one of favorite artists of all time, and a huge part of that is I very much am drawn in that his lyrics are SO good

Like you don’t have to like his music, or rap as a genre, but just read some of his lyrics and tell me I’m wrong. Even on some of his most like “this’ll get radio play” songs man
“If a flower bloomed in a dark room would you trust it….there’s blood in my pen”
