What boring and weaselly people don’t want you to know about living in cities is that there’s a very small chance you’ll meet someone who wishes you harm because you’re not the right race/creed/whatever, but there’s a much greater chance you’re going to meet Hussein.

Reposting now that the phones are open: some asshole decided he should hunt down and release the name of Jane Doe in the Cornell lawsuit, and if you're a NYER, instead of trying to dox him back or wishing harm on him you can pick up the phone and help those consequences happen to him more directly.

Thinking about them this morning...
 Dusk Legion Zealot {1}{B}

Creature — Vampire Soldier

When this creature enters, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.

Once they reached Orazca, the Legion’s explorers ransacked tombs and temples, hunting for the Immortal Sun.
1/1

Illustrated by Winona Nelson  Ichor Wellspring {2}

Artifact

When this artifact enters or is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, draw a card.

“Our glorious infection has taken hold.”
—Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite

Watermark: Phyrexian

Illustrated by Steven Belledin  Spirited Companion {1}{W}

Enchantment Creature — Dog

When this creature enters, draw a card.

She formed a friendship with several playful spirits, and soon “the pack” was known as the source of much mischief in Eiganjo.
1/1

Add to Deck
Elvish Visionary {1}{G}

Creature — Elf Shaman

When this creature enters, draw a card.

Before any major undertaking, a Cylian elf seeks the guidance of a visionary to learn the will of the gargantuan ancients.
1/1

There's a shit-ton of actual anti-Semitism in the world today, but Netanyahu's fraudulent misuse of the term devalues it dangerously. Hamas is anti-Semitic and murderous. Netanyahu is a cynical, murderous shitheel. Mamdani is an American politician with a perverse impulse to tell blunt truths.

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Reality Fracture is quietly filled with a ton of really powerful cards for #MTGPauper, in part because the format has never had to deal with a Planeswalker before. +1/+1, vigilance, and you draw a card at the very least?

Add to Deck
Tam's Resistance {1}{G/U}

Sorcery

Put a +1/+1 counter on up to one target creature. It gains vigilance until end of turn.

Empower Jace 4. (Put four loyalty counters on a Jace token you control. If you don’t control one, first create a blue Jace planeswalker token with “[−1]: Surveil 1” and “[−3]: Draw a card.”)

Tam had offered to help and Vraska believed her.
