Oh, hey, looks like I have some followers.
Hi, y'all! I'm Ethan. If you've seen me anywhere it probably had to do with tabletop RPGs, maybe the ones I've written? ethanharvey.itch.io
I mostly just read and reply to other people's posts, but I'm trying to occasionally post something of my own.

Who told JD Vance people respond well to hearing their own name every few seconds? Kudos to them. It really cranks up his scammy salesman vibe to a downright skin-crawling level.

If you’re looking to update your U.S. passport to accurately reflect your gender, the window may soon be closing. For many, an accurate passport is more than just a confirmation of identity, it’s necessary to travel safely.
How Trans People Can Update Their Passports — And Why to Do It Now
With a federal ban on passport gender marker changes currently blocked, THE CITY spoke with legal experts in NYC about how trans, nonbinary and intersex people can file these updates.

Please remember that if at all possible you should never wade through or otherwise come in contact with floodwater like this. That water is a chemical and biological stew of who knows what.
The Eno River this morning on the outskirts of Hillsborough, NC. I'm told it has been more than 40 years since anything like this has been seen here.

I often worry about saying something too silly or frivolous for the person I'm talking to.
Then, sometimes, I remember how I met the person and it's like, "the comments of a shitpost about dogs eating bees" or "a TTRPG where he played a perpetually stoned goblin".

Dreamed I was the protagonist of a new sitcom. But I was aware that I was a character. My boss and I were trying to open a business in a strip mall, and the show hadn't said what kind of business it was. I hoped they would reveal it because I didn't know what I was supposed to be doing.

Most of my setting playbooks for Unincorporated have specific media that inspired them, even if they ended up diverging a lot.

Oh no, I was wrong. My cat's real new annoying hobby is GRABBING MY ARM AT THE WORST POSSIBLE MOMENT. Like, say, when I'm pouring hot water, giving myself a shot, using a power tool...
Does anyone else's cat pick up hobbies? Mine finds a new weird/annoying activity to do for a few days or weeks, then stops. I just found her on the weakest point of the portable washing machine's flimsy plastic lid, enthusiastically licking a bar of soap, and I hope this isn't the latest one.

terraforming Antarctica is in fact orders of magnitude easier than terraforming Mars and has the benefit of being able to bring in supplies by ship instead of months long rocket trip

"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2° too warm.

Several years ago, I was in a TTRPG set in a dystopian future, in which my character's background story was that their homeland had been consumed by a gigantic Buc-ee's. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this prophetic vision.
