Nobody ever knows I'm trans unless I tell them, but it is a constant worry that the loyalists around where I live will find out on socials. After the pogrom here over the summer I said 'no' to so much work simply because it would bring those two worlds together and I didn't want to take the risk

another key reason I feel this way is because Black voters are smarter than me and I tend to believe I should follow their general historical philosophy on voting

(I included alt txt since the op didn't) So while @officialpax.bsky.social still keeps The #PAX Together Intersection pages up for both West and #Unplugged it is clear that the version of the Intersection that was centered on opportunities for BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, & disabled folks is gone. 🧵 1/6

A statement on a blue, purple, pink and orange background with an arcade game with SFAC on the top and a heart on the screen.

The lettering is white and has a translucent black background. The statement reads:

SfaC is honored to be stepping into a new role supporting The Intersection at PAX West 2026.

SFAC

We recognize the importance of The Intersection and the years of work that have gone into making it a meaningful space for Black, Brown, Queer, Disabled, and other historically marginalized and stigmatized members of the gaming community.

In May, We submitted a proposal to PAX to support the Intersection space, and we learned weeks ago that our proposal was accepted. We want to be transparent that The Intersection at PAX West 2026 will not be a continuation of the program exactly as it has existed in previous years. We do not currently have the capacity or resources to recreate its previous scope of programming and services, and we don't want to promise something we cannot responsibly deliver.

Instead, our goal is to carry forward the spirit of the space by creating a welcoming community room where people can gather, connect, create, and feel represented at PAX.

We have intentionally developed community programming and will share more details leading up to PAX!

We know this transition comes during a complicated moment, and we understand that people may have questions or concerns. We have tremendous respect for the people who built The Intersection and the community it has served. Our goal is not to replace that work, but to help ensure there is still a space at PAX where marginalized and stigmatized members of the gaming community can find connection and community.

This is a new chapter for the room, and we intend to approach it with care, honesty, and respect for the work that came before us!

As a pro-GM who specializes in working with kids I want to clear something up. Kids CAN separate fantasy violence from real world violence. Doing one in a game doesn't make them bigger fans of the other. Be real with the kids, they'll get it (and that doesn't mean trauma).

Also, Trans Rights=Human Rights. The point isn't that Trans people shouldn't have rights. The point is that centrist democrats used Trans and other marginalized people as virtue signals and lightning rods, all while protecting their bottom lines.

Sam "Shammo" Horne @shammostories.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

The centrist Democrats sold so-called "woke" policies like Trans Rights, because they were low-risk. Trans Rights never really affected them. They're terrified of progressives because they're pushing economic fairness AKA something that does affect them.

"Independent," =/= Centrist/Moderate. Independent just means not tied to Dems or GOP. Some are middle, some are right, some are left. So, when Dee's run to the center to "Win the independents," they are also losing the independents. Same for, "Undecideds."

Need to get to work researching, reading, and maybe writing a book on the three currencies: Money, Effort, and Time. "You can have it done cheaply, quickly, and/or correctly, but you can only pick two." It's all right there. Any dip in one resource costs more in others.

This is something more people need to know about, asking their elected officials about, and getting out into the public eye. These are the numbers we all kinda knew about, definitely feel, and quietly wonder why we can't make it work. This is the REAL poverty line. www.tiktok.com/@ashleytheeb...

Still mad at the professor who taught History of Poverty and Social Policy in the U.S. who, when I pointed out that her book list was over $100 on its own and asked about alternatives, responded by saying, "Oh whatever, your parents buy all that stuff for you anyways." This, at a state school.

This is... progress? I guess? See here's the thing. Congress... doesn't have to pass anything to end this war, because they never passed a declaration of war to begin with! In a legal sense, we can't be "at war" with Iran, because Congress ALONE has the power to declare war. They didn't.
