Part 3 of my series on player character investment and enhancing group storytelling in #ttrpgs is up! This week: using active questions and "doing scenes". I've found these methods VERY successful recently! #dnd www.lucasjwjohnson.com/blog/player-...

Fundamentally, we need to culturally decouple from the idea that media critique is something that can be "won", with a definitive correct answer. Sometimes a piece of art is divisive, and the concensus is the lack of consensus, and that's sometimes interesting in itself.

Hello #furry #artist s, I'm potentially interested in a commission for a sketch or full art piece, for personal and perhaps commercial use. Show me your fox boys and rates? 🦊

Cat day? Have cats!

A cat behind a window blind, casting a shadow on the blind

Two black cats, one in a bed in the sun, one lying across a windowsill in the sun

A black cat lying on a human bed, stretched out between the two pillows

A tuxedo cat lying nearly upside down on a heating pad, in bliss
