Annual reminder. Stack your candy corn in a cylinder for a DYI vagina dentata autumnal decoration.

Candy corn stacked in a cylinder with the teeth facing inwards. It is a vagina dentata pretending to be candy corn on the cob.

Taking the bait, either way, furthers the narrative. The way to not "throw us under the bus" is to reject the frame that our rights are negotiable outright. THIS... THIS is the way👇it's all we're asking for bsky.app/profile/abdu...

A new statue of Melville has been unveiled outside of the New Bedford Whaling Museum and New Englanders are freaking out bc it’s ~so~sexy~ tho it’s a fully dressed guy standing around? But I sent it to my fam & my mom & cousin also insist it’s EROTIC—hand on whalebone is symbolic hand on erection??

Delighted to see that the Routledge Companion to Video Games and History now has a webpage and a cover! There will be an ebook (which given the length of this I imagine will be many people's preferred reading approach), it just doesn't show on the page yet. www.routledge.com/The-Routledg...

Dear #TTRPG community: -There is no game that will guarantee a positive result. -There are no games that "encourage fun" or "prevent cheating". That, like everything else, is entirely subjective. -The ability of the GM to bring the players into the world determines success more than anything else.

Certain statues seem to throb with pagan power. Cast bronze caught summoning something simultaneously old and vital. As if the folk who commission such things were involved in a conspiracy to enchant the streets and parks of Coreham. No wonder people leave offerings at their feet. – #MattAdams, 1982
