The battles you will face will be bloody, the damage catastrophic, and it will not end when you leave the field. You may live to become a veteran, or you may have your young life cut tragically short. Each mission could be your last. How do you live with that hanging over you? #ttrpg #tabletop

FYI: Boycotting HP merch/books/etc isn’t “censorship” it is *boycotting* because of what the receipts are used for, in the same way boycotting Starbucks over Gaza is boycotting not censorship.

Reminder that Klingons say TRANS RIGHTS BRING HONOR TO YOUR HOUSE

DS9 scene: Kor, a Klingon, greets Dax as Curzon. Dax corrects him as the host is now in Jadzia, a Trill female. Cor immediately responds, "Jadzia, my beloved old friend" without missing a beat.

Right: Two tweets from 2019: "This Pride Month, never forget that Klingons had trans rights"; "No hostility, no confusion, no clumsy excuse-filled justification, just a quick self-correction and the exact same amount of love and respect before and after. Cis allies: Be like Kor."

A legend, an icon and a trailblazer.

4 frame comic. first frame shows the ibm building, 2nd shows a smartphone, 3rd shows a trans flag, and 4th shows Lynn Conway, smiling. Text reads: After Lynn Conway transitioned in 1968, she lost her family and was fired from her job at IBM. she went on to pioneer the microchip technology that powers your smartphone. She has been a tireless advocate for trans rights and an inspiration for trans leaders everywhere. She was a legend, an icon and a trailblazer. She will be thoroughly missed.

It’s a good day to revisit this Ursula Le Guin quote. In the best possible reality, Earthsea would be the dominant fantasy series for children.

“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

Non-generative, low level 'AI' has its uses (like, autocorrect level). bu AI in general can do one. I think advertisers know we don't like it, because every ad I block on YouTube is *not* labeled AI (blocked), but something else to get round it. e.g, this AI ad about 'writing the perfect email'.

Doing Taxes isn't the most fun, though it's fine. What is an issue is when you have to use a third party system that's non governmental, which you have to pay for, the en pay tax. And their system is slow. It's almost like capitalism has some issues (of which is the most minor. Still though...)
