So when I was getting dressed today, I very quickly put on a lab coat and some cat ears, not even trying to have something coherent, just wanting to have some kind of costume, and then I used some eyeliner to draw some whiskers on my face, so, yeah, that's my costume, cat in a lab coat, does it make sense? no. who cares. Still wearing the same skirt and striped knee-high socks from yesterday, but that's just my work clothes.

But then when I got to my office in the physics department, one of my colleagues was immediately like, "Oh! Schrödinger's catgirl!"

It both was and was not a coherent costume until someone observed you and collapsed the wavelength

What finally took the shine off the “Houses” thing for me was realizing they’re just another iteration of the ‘Fighter, Mage, Thief, Cleric’ RPG stereotypes. Like, it’s so dead-on I’ve never ONCE had anyone not instantly identify which is which.

Also two new classes, the Mechanic, who can be besties with a robot, a turret or a mine network, and the Technomancer, who can use magic to hack reality. And the ability to play as a sapient refrigerator! What more could you want?!

WAY back when it was a serialized Adventure Path, under the 3.5 ruleset, with my long-running group, affectionately referred to as Team Necro (from shenanigans in an earlier campaign) I started as a Druid, decided to switch to a more urban-suitable character—just in time to trek outside the city.

Wishing these unions speedy recognition from their corporate parents at #Hasbro. #Magic and #D&D are easily *the* most iconic games in their respective categories, and the talented people who bring them to life deserve to be treated fairly and with respect. #WOTC #UnionStrong

This game is amazing. COMPLETELY different vibe than Path- or Starfinder—most common comparison I’ve heard is Dread. The Omen Dice mechanic for escalating tension and lethality is beautiful. Your character best start believing in horror movies—they’re in one.

Don't just let Banned Books Week be just another mostly cisallohet white people display. Get proactive and get your patrons engaged. They need to know they have a voice, they have power. Libraries aren't neutral. Our job is to provide information, so provide it.

Ideas: include dates or links/QR to upcoming school board or library board mtgs, great; provide comment cards for patrons to express how much they appreciate diverse books; provide links/QR to PENAmerica or AABB; provide stats and information about *why* books are being banned, not just which ones.

Your displays should be mostly marginalized identities and experiences. Your display should also provide your patrons with resources for learning about bans and challenges, and how to get involved with their local community.

It's Banned Books Week. My fellow librarians, listen carefully: your book displays should be almost exclusively writers who are alive. Yes, I know classic literature is also being banned, but most of those authors are dead. They aren't suffering financially from bans and challenges.

Now that brings back memories! I remember seeing her character portrait in the original book and thinking something akin to this:
"I've only had Arlo..." meme, edited to be about The Curse Of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path in Pathfinder 1E. In the top panel a caucasian woman with dark, curly hair looks lovingly at a white dog in her arms; the edited caption reads: "I've only [known Trinia] for a day and a half." In the bottom half, the scene is similar, except she's looking towards someone off-camera, and the dog's pose is different. The continued caption here reads: "But if anything happened to [that cutie] I would kill everyone in [the palace] and then [the Queen]." The altered words are in colored text; "known Trinia," and "that cutie" in teal, "the palace" and "the Queen" in deep crimson--bordered in gold, to boot.

Obviously, “torture-poem” is autocorrect at work (though I knowingly left it unchanged since I’m just recently returned from an involuntary posting sabbatical and am being extra careful). The intended phrase is left as an exercise for the reader.

Raven of the Omens @ostentatiouscorvid.northsky.social · 05/10/2026
I’m tempted to say something like Human Centipede and more extreme ‘torture-poem’ horror movies. Like, you can *enjoy* them and all, and okay, different strokes. But if you LOVE the ones that are pure “Look! Gruesome, torturous cruelty! In hi-def VisceraVision!” then…

Loving Fight Club is *sus*, I’d argue—for cis white dudes at least—but not an actual red flag. And the guys aggressively misunderstanding it often have plenty of real red flags elsewhere.

A good fresh Star Trek take on those fake isekai title jokes
A tumblr screenshot showing a post and two reblog responses, reading:
1. "star trek would be the ideal fictional universe to get trapped in because you'd explain your situation and they'd be like yeah makes sense. no further questions. fortunately we can use the mysterious warp signature emitting from this system's icy moon to counterface with the solar radiation and slingshot you back home"
2. "I'm from a universe where your world is all a work of fiction." Benjamin Sisko, nodding. "That happened to me once."
3. "I Got Isekaid Into The Star Trek Universe And They Quickly Understood What Was Happening"

I get that 100%. If your venting outlet is doing more harm than good, it’s a shitty venting outlet, and needs some pretty amazing counter-benefits to be worthwhile. Are you better off with this app or without it? Not an easy question to have to answer—or a fair one to have to ask—but you do have to.
