as a new manager in a retail store, I am printing educational protocol materials for my employees on how to keep customers and each other safe if ICE enters our property or is seen nearby. even though it’s scary and uncomfortable, I recommend all businesses do the same. resources below:

i've been told i'm a boomer for saying "DLCs" and that's probably why this didn't do the numbers it should have. WE'RE JUST WORMS WITH DLC. the DLC? all the DLC? someone punch this up.

Humans are just worms that bought all the DLCs, you ever think about that?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Labor history should be a required course in all high schools. The 8-hour day, paid vacations, health care, the end of child labor, and the right to negotiate a contract are all victories paid for with the lives of working-class warriors. No one knows their names.

Did you know the “weekend” and working only 8 hours per day used to be considered a radical, liberal idea? 139 years ago today, in Bay View, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 7 workers (including a 13 yo) lost their lives to advance this revolutionary idea. A 🧵

Do think all our problems could be solved if someone built something called like the Alpha Male Death Battle To The Death Arena Sponsored By Monster Energy and filled the place with weapons and speakers that played canned applause every time anyone died. This would be voluntary but the doors lock

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

I've been screaming this for years.

"Listen, if a Bad President can come in and take away our rights and we're dependent on a Good President replacing them in four years to give us back our rights, then we do not have any rights.

"If politicians can take or distribute them, then they're not 'inalienable' and they're not 'rights.'

"We don't have inalienable rights we have conditional privileges, divvied out according to the whims of whoever currently holds the reins.

"And if we want to have actual rights, then we must build a system in which no one has the power to take them away to begin with."

“You have a sword, sheathed at your hip. You can unsheathe it whenever you want. You must never unsheathe it.” “Unsheathe your blade and immediately kill the person in front of you. Then, remove your character from the game. You cannot play them any longer.”

The Veteran
You wield the blade that must never be drawn again. You are alive. Your care is intense, sober, and mindful.

Choose a name and some pronouns.

Choose an animal.
Badger
Hellbender
Raven
Mouse
A Dangerous Animal
A Headstrong Animal

Choose 2 you sometimes are and 2 you refuse to be.
Cold
Terrified
Curt
Heartless
Bitter
Furious
Exhausted
Beautiful
Morbid

Choose 3-4 to describe your look.
Billowing Cloak
Hidden Armor
Many Scars
Prosthetic Limb
Lyre Missing A String
Torn Standard
Pack Of Smokes
Broken Tooth
Wide-Brimmed Hat
Blood Soaked Handkerchief
Walking Stick
A Nervous Tic

You have a sword, sheathed at your hip. You can unsheathe it whenever you want. You must never unsheathe it. Choose 2 to describe your sword.
Sharper than anything else in the world.
Engraved with a sacred name.
Gifted by a proud parent.
Looks unremarkable, unless you know what to look for.
Blessed by a powerful god.
Forged from the heart of the world.
Passed down among generations of monarchs.
Stolen from a massive hoard.
Once proof of your undying love for another.
Starving.

Choose 1 lesson you've learned and 2 you've since forgotten. Tell the table about them.

An empty soldier taught you that there's no better feeling than your sword cutting skin, and this is why you must never unsheathe your blade.

A grieving mentor taught you that you will never choose where your sword lands, for from the moment you draw it it controls you, and this is why you must never unsheathe your blade.

A royal monarch taught you violence is just a way to maintain control, and this is why
you must never unsheathe your blade.

A sobbing and hurt young child taught you that a single slice kills not only the enemy, but everyone who loved the enemy as well, and this is why you must never unsheathe your blade.

A friendly old innkeep taught you that a well-made bed can save more lives than an army of warriors, and this is why you must never unsheathe your blade.

Your once-lover recoiled from you when they saw the blood on your hands, and this is
why you must never unsheathe your blade.

You saw, in the eyes of someone you thought was theroic, the fate that awaits everyone who only knows violence, and this is why you must never unsheathe your blade.

Ask 1 to the left and 1 to the right.
How do you help me stay in control?
When did you realize that I'm a good person?
What do I still need to learn from you?
What craft have you been teaching me?

Some things you can always do:
Repeat a calming phrase.
Spend time practicing a craft you're not very good at.
Drum against the pommel of your blade.
Leap to your feet.
Say: "I don't do that anymore."
Ask: "What are you hiding?"
Unsheathe your blade and immediately kill the person in front of you. Then, remove your character from the game. You cannot play them any longer.

During each seasonal holiday, choose 1 you haven’t chosen before:

Remember a lesson you had forgotten, and reach out to the person who taught it.

Remember another lesson you had forgotten, and reach out to the person who taught
it.

Realize you've stopped being something you used to sometimes be.

Realize it's okay to sometimes be something you were scared of being.

Get a token whenever you accept that you don't have power in this situation.

Spend a token to teach someone a craft you've learned.

You can always reflect on and reveal what you're feeling.

Take an unused playbook and add as much as you want from that playbook to yours.

Throw away your sword and settle down somewhere where you can live a peaceful life.
Pick up a new playbook and make a new character.

just don’t use generative AI. period. it’s another step in removing humanity from art, writing and programming. use = demand, no matter HOW you’re using it—even in irony, even just for laughs. stifle the demand.
