For many years I've been chipping away at a personal Dark Sun project: A campaign setting designed to bring a West Marches game style to Athas. It's finally finished and available for free! 378 pages of sword-and-sandal psychic survival and settlement building adventure. athas.org/resources/cd...

Every time I ask 'Americans how are you doing', for some reason my replies fill up with uncontrollable sobbing.

For whatever it's worth, I've actually spoken to Diana before, and I have no doubt she is who she says she is and that her situation is very real and very dire. She's been dealing with an impossible situation with a level of equanimity I can't even imagine.

I did an interview with the BBC's book club a few weeks back, which will air on June 7th. They've been releasing clips like this one... and I just realized I meant "antihero," not "deuteragonist." ::sobbing:: I hadn't had enough coffee that day! It's not my fault!

What would be really effective is if folks who want to help pick one or two of these folks/families and post about them once or a small number of times a day. Not everybody should pick the same beneficiary, obviously.

'Eye of Argon' may be legendarily bad, but even it does not contain such a sterling sentence as 'she saw bits of gore as his throat fell from his neck'. For all its badness, it... almost has character? 'Prepare to embrace your creators in the stygian haunts of hell, barbarian' is so bad it's good.

Sorry to hear of the death of Peter David, whom I did not know. If there is anything sillier than recommending a single 35-year-old fill-in issue of The Hulk I don't know what it is, but David's Hulk #368 as a perfect example of the comic book single issue story. (Art by Sam Kieth too!)

One of the amazing and dedicated rico lawyers was fired from the NLG for unionizing. Not only have they done amazing work for their own clients, but they've done so much to further collective defense. Please donate if you can: www.gofundme.com/f/nlg-fires-...

On this 5th anniversary of his passing, I reflect on how America is such a different place before and after George Floyd's death. Before, most white people claimed not to know how cops mistreat and kill us, as they demanded that cops do more of it. Now, they demand more of it with full knowledge.

“Je t’aime,” I whisper as I spear the last bite of French toast with my fork, brush it through the dregs of syrup and butter on the plate and place it gingerly on my tongue. But I am met, as ever, by silence.

This story goes so many fun places I didn't expect. The best way I can describe it is Piranesi meets neo-noir.

dragon lady next to me at the second life rave was too close and her wings kept clipping through my player model. I didn't mind but she apologied each and every time it happened. chat was filled with hundreds of variations of "oop sowwie >_<!! xoxo" and "uaah! not again! orz" by the end of the night

“If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you’ll probably want to know is where I was born, and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my city prospered by keeping me locked in a cellar, and all that kind of crap, but I don’t feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth.”

I see bad Catcher in the Rye discourse ("white men" in "power" who made people insist that the novel was good as part of a pro-"asshole" movement) is extant in embryo here among the blue skies and instead you can always just type I CAN'T READ in big letters and make that your account's banner.
