Why didn't these kinds of moves— Pick 3, pick 2, pick 1 Pick 2, pick 1, pick none Exceptional success, success, compromise — become "how PbtA works"? Like I say, I think it's obvious why, but choosing one move to be "how PbtA works" at all was the first mistake.

Meg is understating that the project REALLY deserves to hit its final stretch goal — rules for playing ON BlueSky or other microblogging/social platforms. I for one am VERY CURIOUS about what experimental work she’d dream up…

Seven Part Pact is coming to kickstarter July 2026 ! it's a massive ambitious TTRPG about magic, masculinity, and power. here's what brennan lee mulligan has to say about it
“If you’re a sucker for hoary tomes and dread grimoires, if your heart cries out for wicked homunculi and crafty familiars, if at the end of the day you’re out here just trying to ponder some goddamn orbs, then Jay has crafted the perfect game for you. Seven Part Pact is a vast, robust, visceral game about the powers and limitations of magic, the invisibility and essentiality of the work it takes to change/save/destroy the world, and an epic saga sung to the part of our soul that wishes to stroke our beard and sunder our staff upon the very mountainside. Take heed, o master of these most potent arts - the legend of your wizardry awaits within this very book!”

not thrilled abt the pejorative misuse of "larp" as a term for "putting on a persona in a delusional/performative/fake way" when larp as a hobby is just playing games w friends and doesnt deserve this slander instead i propose we slander "ttrpg",

the first proper backrooms meme came out in 2019, a far cry from "a decade or two" (and would still not make it predate house of leaves)

House of leaves predates the backrooms memes by almost 20 years

House of leaves was written in the year 2000 and has nothing to do with the backrooms. the backrooms takes cues from house of leaves (among other ideas)

i need to finally write a proposal document for the cat face emoji but sadly proving that it's a popular emoticon is weirdly hard for their criteria, something about the SEO for "cat face" makes it difficult. i wonder why

You can read the full text of the bill here: www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c... Thank you to @authorsabb.bsky.social for these slides and the alt text, which you can also share on their insta: www.instagram.com/authorsagain...
Slide 1: a blue graphic with an outline of the United States. Red and white text reads: Call. National Book Banning Bill Proposed in US House of Reps. Tell your rep: Vote no on H.R. 7661.
Slide 2: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: House Republicans have introduced a bill to effectively grant the federal government decision-making power over what books make it into the library. Misleadingly called the "Stop the Sexualization of Children Act," H.R. 7661 is a national-level book banning bill that would ban any book that, according to the bill's language, "(ii) involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism." This means any book about a trans person or the trans experience would be banned from every public school in the United States.
Slide 3: a blue and red graphic with white text that reads: The bill has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. If you are represented by one of the members of this committee listed below, they need to hear from you.
Rep. Kevin Kiley, California (CA-3) (Chair) - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Mary E. Miller, Illinois (Vice Chair)
Rep. Glenn "GT" Thompson, Pennsylvania
Rep. Burgess Owens, Utah
Rep. Michael A. Rulli, Ohio
Rep. James C. Moylan, Guam - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Ryan Mackenzie, Pennsylvania - entering vulnerable election cycle
Rep. Mark Harris, North Carolina
Rep. Mark B. Messmer, Indiana
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, Oregon, Ranking Member
Rep. Jahana Hayes, Connecticut
Rep. Summer L. Lee, Pennsylvania
Rep. John W. Mannion, New York
Rep. Frederica S. Wilson, Florida
Rep. Alma S. Adams, North Carolina
Rep. Adelita Grijalva, Arizona
Slide 4: a blue graphic with red and white text that reads: If you are represented by the congresspeople listed above: Call your reps. Tell them they must oppose this bill at every turn. It is egregiously unconstitutional, targets ideas based on ideological disapproval, and misleads parents and the public about the content of children's books. It does nothing to protect kids and will badly harm education. It will tie school material funding into knots and hurt anyone who is a library materials vendor, regardless of content. If you are a bookseller, librarian, or author, tell them your livelihood depends on the next generation of readers.

H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban all my books, & any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps & say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

fluxer is really great as an app but (as disclosed on the blog) the main dev troubleshoots usin llms and doesnt disallow contributors to the app from usin llms to code. he does require folks to fully understand their code & is against "vibe coding". but if yr against genai period, might be a problem

Hourly comics day!
Several sketchy hourly comics from 7am-9pm. I wake up at my boyf's place, eat a poorly sliced bagel, practice singing, work on my resume, have lunch, play Mythic Bastionland, and all of us hang out with my husb's family.More hourly comics from 9-11pm. I retire to my boyf's apartment, walk back to my own, and finish drawing hourlies. The end.

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1".
