Vanguard Alerts are here. The rewards sound pretty exciting. It's a nice addition to help revitalize weekly rituals. Plenty more layers to add. Will discuss more later on stream.

If you’re disabled, please lean in to assistive devices.

Don’t let the pervasive ableism within society stop you.

Get that scooter, wheelchair, cane or other tool you might need.

Assistive devices are amazing & you should never apologize for using them!

Invisible disabilities exist.

Dynamic disability is a thing.

Ambulatory wheelchair users are a thing.

Accommodations and assistive devices are not always static.

Sometimes they’re needed in certain situations and not others.

We know our bodies best and don’t deserve to be questioned.

“Why does that person need a mobility scooter, I’ve seen people who are worse and they soldier on”

“Why did they use a wheelchair at the airport & then walk onto the plane?”

“Why do they have a disability placard they look fine!”

The answer to all is it’s none of your business.

We just accept it because it’s always been this way but ‘Ringo Starr’ is a bonkers thing to call yourself when the other guys are John, Paul, and George. It’s like having a band where everyone else uses their real name and then the drummer goes yes please call me Crackers Creamsworth

Every elected Republican was a united front opposing and criticizing everything Obama did for 8 straight years, even if it was a policy they fundamentally agreed with. Why. In the fuck. Is it asking too much for Democrats to do the same with a legitimate fascist?
Democratic voters are working hard to stop fascism. It would be nice if the leaders of the party joined them.

Looking forward to getting home, eventually.

Once again complaining about flights that don't have enough room for carry on baggage.

Who the heck is bringing too much and WHY is this being allowed?

I am in desperate need of sci-fi, fantasy, and/or horror that feature transfem main characters. Especially if there are audiobook formats available. Please give me recommendations, and please repost to get more people giving me suggestions.

ICYMI - Having seen it twice now, I feel fairly certain that I think that this is the weakest one IMO, but there's still a lot here to like, and this is the most ambitious Knives Out to date.
New Projector review! Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc investigates an immaculately conceived "impossible" murder in the third Knives Out entry, Wake Up Dead Man, which works better putting religion under the magnifying glass than as a whodunnit - but still very good! www.youtube.com/watch?v=WHSE...

I don’t say much definitively about Actual Play, a form too varied to nail down in many ways.

But one thing I do know is that fan information labor (Ludi Price’s term) fuels nearly every major success — & it’s damn-near impossible to replicate just with $.

It’s a delicate but vital relationship.

Apropos of nothing, I spoke to my students yesterday about revising my game class in spring, & discussing what their collective needs were & how to meet them within my own comfort/capacity. We talked about the goals of the course, some choices I stand by & others I want to iterate on.

It's in Italy!

I'm arriving at night, inside all the next day, and leaving early in the morning the next day...

...ah.

i dont really like doing this, but i am still waiting for multiple invoices to go through so if anyone would like to purchase a print, a single character commission, or just throw me a couple bucks… it would be deeply appreciated.
