Quite a quote from Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair, who was asked about his STOP THE GENOCIDE eye black after today’s game www.usatoday.com/story/sports...
"At the end of the day, it's bigger than me. The things that are going through makes people uncomfortable, imagine how (Palestinians) feel?" he said. "That's the biggest thing. I have no affiliation, no connection, to these people - other than the fact that I am a human being. If you have a heart and you're a human being, and you see what's going on in this world, you check yourself real quick.
"I'm sitting here crying about football when there's people dying every single day."
Al-Shaair is the Texans' 2025 Walter Payton
Man of the Year nominee.

CPTSD is wanting to ask for something, knowing if they say no (even in the nicest way possible) you’re brain is potentially going to register that as a pattern bc of the potential emotional flashback and you know that isn’t fair to them so you don’t ask. It’s anxiety about anxiety. Love that.

I have kidney failure, which means I have a "fast pass" for benefit approvals because I need dialysis to live. It still took THREE MONTHS before my benefits were approved. Good on this guy and we need more people in the government like him.

It turns out that protecting hate speech did not create the conditions to protect other kinds of speech; instead, it protected hate and allowed hate movements to take over all the institutions of that might have defended the rest of us.

This is possibly my favorite of the "deconstuctive horror" movies because it remembers to also RECONSTRUCT the genre afterward. Highly creative and...try to go in with as few spoilers as possible. Trust me, it's funner that way.

Grocery stores don’t make money off you, the consumer. They make money off advertising, aka product placement. Ever wonder why every grocery store chain looks exactly the same no matter which one you enter? The only think that will fluctuate is the pricing. Now. Some grocery stores have sections

Yes, 100%! This is going to get first-class support. No need for platform hacks to get this. It's insane that creators have been _hacking_ Itch for years using the reward system for this, instead of Itch giving first-class support to this feature on its platform.

i should probs mention this more-- if you make TTRPGs that are single-player or asyncronously multi-player, there's a place to let me know abt them for my show :~) solo, journalling, epistolary, dedicated PBP, single player LARPs... all i ask is you genuinely consider whether it can work audio-only

From Obojima to Ace of Spades and everywhere in-between, the TTRPG ecosystem is rife with racism, colonialism, and bigotry. We cannot accept white supremacy in our worlds, our games, or our lives. Give your money to Black, Indigenous, and Japanese people who are *actually* making the art you want.

Hi! Epidemiologist here!
Don't do this.
In the 80s and 90s this was done by Depts. of Health during the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
"Somehow" the lists they created found their way into the hands of cops, landlords, & job sites to deny people human rights.
It's partly WHY the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act exists

Hello, BlueSky! 📖🪡 We are StoryWeave Productions, a brand new TTRPG AP channel founded by Jien, Kat, and Wren. We’re thrilled to officially launch and will have some exciting announcements to share soon, so give us a follow and stay tuned for more!
An announcement graphic set on a light blue and purple watercolour-textured background.

The header reads 'Introducing StoryWeave Productions.' The logo, an inkwell with a needle and thread coming out of it and an ink scribble extending from the tip of the needle, sits between 'Story' and 'Weave.'

Below that is smaller text that reads 'A TTRPG Actual Play channel, committed to showcasing diverse and compelling stories, with accessibility and high quality production at the forefront.'

Surrounding those elements are three circular photos connected by a length of glowing purple thread: headshots of JienBirb (@JienBirb, half-Japanese with short reddish-brown hair and glasses), Kat (@LoreMistress93, white with long deep red hair and glasses), and MasqueWren (@MasqueWren, Caribbean with long braided black hair)

The bottom left is a list of social media handles (StoryWeave on BlueSky, StoryWeaveProductions on Twitch, storyweaveprod@gmail.com).

The bottom right reads 'More Details Soon...'

I mirror this view, with one caveat: it will -not- necessarily find an audience and it won't necessarily be a success, but if you made it because you want them to exist, at least you have the reward of having pulled these never-made things screaming out of the sea of ideas into reality.

Same reason we have to do taxes in the first place. Most other countries, their version of the IRS calculates how much tax is owed off their W2 and just sends a check or a bill. You think it's wrong, you can appeal. We WERE going to have that, but H&R Block and TurboTax lobby dollars stopped it.
