Tell me again why trans people should sit back and be quiet? Lots of us will be in therapy for years trying to undo the damage this has caused us. It's not a small issue.

Never underestimate the ability of people feeling economically and socially insecure to vote or make decisions contrary to their long-term self-interest. It is a desperate exchange for anything that helps them feel more secure, even if it doesn't fix the original underlying issues.

This is really important, so I shared it with alt-text.

A four cell-cartoon created by Sophie Labelle titled "What is Democratic Backsliding?" The first cell depicts a giant banner of Trump hanging from a government building and reads "Authoritarianism in the twenty-first century tends to appear through what is called a process of 'democratic backsliding' (also called 'autocratiziation') rather than through a traditional coup. This allows the new regime to claim some kind of legitimacy. The second cell is black with a white silouette of Trump and reads "Democratic backsliding is when an elected executive uses power to subvert democratic institutions by attacking fair and free elections, suppressing freedom of speech, press, and association, or weakening the rule of law." The third cell depicts several Nazi SA stormtroopers and reads "According to political scientists Mettler and Liberman, there are four key characteristics that provide the conditions for democratic backsliding: political polarization, racism and nativism, economic inequality, and excessive executive power." The last cell depicts the White House and reads "In a report published in September 2025, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance found that 54% of the world's countries experienced economic backsliding in the past year. That includes the United States."

I really hope this takes off. There needs to be a creative storefront marketplace that actually bans genai and drop shipping, and I hope it's a 100% ban. Etsy is completely ruined and not artist friendly. Much luck to Fybe! fybe.art

In my perpetual search for quality and accurate games set in Korea or Japan, I got a hold of Thousands Arrows published by @evilhat.bsky.social. We’ll see if I bounce off the PbtA elements, but at first glance it looks interesting! And you gotta love that cover by @yoshiyoshitani.bsky.social .

The cover for the game Thousand Arrows, a Roleplaying game of samurai drama by James Mendez Hodes. The illustration shows a young woman dressed in Sengoku period black and red armor. She holds a matchlock musket with plum blossom details. She also wears a wide-brimmed back hat with a veil that hides part of her face so only a single eye stares out menacingly. Behind her, the title of the game appears in stylized font over a tenshu, or the keep of a Japanese castle, silhouetted by red flames
