RIP to Drew Struzan, the artist behind the iconic posters for so many classic Hollywood movies of the 70s and 80s

I can't pick a favorite, so I'll go with his unforgettable one sheet for 'John Carpenter's The Thing', a perfect poster for a perfect film, one I didn't know it was his until today 📽️

Whereas this is beautifully concise exposition, delivered with such intensity that it speaks volumes: Lo Pan is extremely well known in Chinatown, and what just happened was an unprecedented, game-changing display of his power. One of my favorite moments.

This is a truly bonkers line of exposition but somehow Kim Cattrall makes it work

You mean the Lo Pan that's chairman of the National Orient Bank and owns the Wing Kong Import Export Trading Company, but who's so reclusive that no one has laid eyes on him in years?

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

If clubbing isn't your thing, find your local board game store! Or tech meetup! Or anything else! But whatever you do, try not to be like the people who are angrily trauma-dumping in Sage's replies, because THAT IS NOT A GOOD WAY TO TREAT STRANGERS JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

go the fuck outside. find a goth club. go there on a kink / queer night. go even if you think “you won’t fit in” (cheat code: just wear black).

be friendly. give yourself time. repeat as necessary. you will make exceptional friends.

life is for the living. do it scared.

As a GM with ADHD this comes up a lot at my table, especially with 13th Age conditions/bonuses/penalties. I prefer to keep going and fix it later, but I always ask the player how they feel about it. If it’s something that would have made a significant difference in the outcome I roll it back.

has anyone written about the process of conversational repair in analog games? specifically thinking about stuff like:
- "i move my meeple 5 spaces" "i think it's 6 spaces"
- "oh, last turn i should've given you an extra 3 tokens. do you want them now?"
- "it's too late now, but for next time..."

My partner texted me to say that tonight’s Carsie Blanton concert is postponed because Carsie was just released from Israeli prison. She was arrested while trying to get aid to Gaza with the Global Sumud Flotilla. I came here to find more info, and this is horrifying.
