So I dreamt that husband and I went to a counter protest for some folks being shitty at a drag brunch. The two protest groups got into a general melee and the media dubbed it The Battle of the Bulge And like…did my subconscious make up that whole setup just to deliver that admittedly excellent pun?

I remember back in my late twenties going through my first mass layoffs being outraged because I knew how much money was coming in and how little they paid us. I did not then nor do I now really understand or respect game companies being public and needing to make ever increasing profits.

We finished our D&D campaign, in our round robin epilogue my bard ended up in two throuples with a PC and an NPC in each as both of their main personas and this from our art chat really summarizes that this was exactly my goal in playing a bard all along #D&D #DnD #DnDBard

A screenshot from a discord chat
1) First message is an image of 3 sketched characters holding hands with hearts above them left to right it is a changeling with an undercut, a tiefling, and an elf wearing a crown. Underneath the 3 it reads “throuple achieved”
2) seconds message from arianell “the good ending”
3) third message from Serka ALL ALONG “diversity win, your local throuple have 3 different alignments and races”
4) fourth message from Varis “Dnd=the conservative nightmare”

Literally. How quickly did you see culture flip on BLM and MeToo the second either started gaining momentum. If we don't keep the pressure up, we're going to see "has anti-ICE sentiment gone TOO FAR" spewing out of every compromised propagandist/independent contrarian grifter in a matter of weeks.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

At the risk of getting myself kicked out of my job and/or industry I find it deeply repellent how quickly gaming has embraced gambling apps (or, as they’re cutely called, real money gaming/rmg) It’s short sighted and just wrong, never should have been legalized everywhere for everything.

“Short bursts indicate an ICE sighting. Long whistles indicate agents making arrests. If you hear the whistle and you’re undocumented, said [Whitney Hu, a community activist and organizer with South Brooklyn Mutual Aid], ‘you hide. And if you’re somebody who’s not, you go to the street.’”

Israel assassinates journalists because evil can't stand the truth. Journalist Anas al-Sharif was assassinated with three others in a targeted attack by Israel's genocidal terrorist forces. Any news media not condemning Israel's continued attack on the press should be understood to be propagandist.
