I dont think everyone needs a gender transition but everyone needs to practice the radical self-knowledge, abolition and community building inherent in the practice and that part DOES threaten this world and Im so fucking proud of each and every one of us who shows the world that

I went to youtube to listen to gray squirrel mating calls to see, and now it's staring at me through the laundry room window. Sorry bud!

The brown ones really are very pretty.

Squirrel facts: It's an American gray squirrel. Its pretty brown fur means that one of its parents was the normal gray, and the other had the panther black variation.

When we moved into this house, black squirrels only lived across town. We watched them reach this neighborhood maybe 10 years ago.

After we hit the $149,682, the real stretch goal is $318 later at $150,000, which is where we start paying Bret, Josh & Elliot bonuses. Help us make it happen!

For 15 years I've rarely gotten to play AW, only MC it. One of the few times, I played a Faceless, and of course it rocked.

For unmasked I chose afraid and ashamed, and when I lost my mask, I felt it all the way in my belly.

It's the #1 fan favorite 1st Ed extended playbook for a reason!

Broken, annoying but not serious,super casual.

I guess it's a 133t leftover from when I was a computer nerd in the 00s that survives in our family slang?

This is all really basic, obviously. It's just to say: your mechanics should reinforce the feeling and the story you want to create.

Cozy woodland game = cozy woodland mechanics.
