The newest Android update wants to put Harry Potter shit on my phone? Fuck ALL the way off. I'm about to switch to Apple. At least I can fully disable the AI bullshit on iOS. Goddamn.

Chrono Trigger changed me, made me feel things I'd never felt before. I didn't know video games could tell stories and carry emotions until I played this. The gif is from a Playstation re-release cutscene, but it was the OG SNES version that hooked me.

66% opponent scoop rate while trying to test Levia with the new IAR cards. It's funny but also I'd like to play more than half a game pls #fabtcg

Calling it "The Savage Lands" is theocratic colonial racism and I suggest we collectively start referring to it as "Rhinarnia" until @fabtcg.com gives us the regional name from one of the denizens capable of speech (druids or hecklers) #fabtcg #justice4rhinarnians

A drawing of my femsona sitting very cutely on top of a brick wall. She is wearing a white sleeveless sweater, highwaisted jeans, a purple bracelet, purple shoes, and glasses. Text is laid over the image that reads: "Repost if you like boobs or if you desperately crave for the AI bubble to burst and consequences to happen to certain men in power." My watermark is also over the image at a lower opacity.

I got a new glove for softball today! I used a 30-year-old Kirby Puckett signature model I inherited from my dad for the spring/summer season but I want to permanently retire it before the fall season next week. Time to break this thing in over the next few days!

My endocrinologist is kind of a legend, and it's amazing that I got in as a patient as quickly as I did back in 2023, but gods DAMN his available is fuckin' stupid and I'm so tired of dealing with scheduling problems exacerbated my brain being a dirty old tire. But, on Friday I see a new endo!

Every dollar billionaire JK Rowling makes is a dollar she will spend on destroying the lives of trans people - a scapegoating driven by Epstein-class billionaires to distract us from the ultra-rich draining our wealth, killing our planet, sabotaging social cohesion, and destroying dissent.

Is there a word that encompasses anger, sadness, regret, resentment, bitterness, and mourning all in one? If not, I need that word. Me and a lot of others like me, I imagine.

#fabtcg I put hundreds of reps and I don't know how many hours of practice and prep into Oscilio for this Skirmish, and in true fashion, I played like shit. Weekend went horribly and I'm sooooo disappointed in myself. Need a break from Wizard and maybe from sage in general.

JK Rowling has said, more than once, publicly that people consuming Harry Potter means they support her. And her transphobia. She uses her vast wealth to do very real world harms to trans people, and in particular...trans women. There is no ethical consumption. None. It's that easy.

Folks are fighting over mastery packs but I just wanna hurl roks. Lost 2 games but got my first in-person Reckless Swing kill and got to start the Brute tradition of having your opponent sign the card! Super close game with Vynnset, them at 2, me at 1 after chants. SUCH a good game! #fabtcg

Seen some talk of unethical fiction, so here’s my take

Three panel comic titled Unethical Fiction:
1. Made with AI
2. Printed on human skin
3. The author uses their profits to fund a hate group.

Friends, I have achieved peak #fabtcg. I won a Flurry token in a wager against Hala as Tuffnut. I then proceeded to roll 5 on Scabs, play Rip off the Top off of a blue, and activate Tuffnut. 7 Resources, 2 AP, Flurry token. 18-DAMAGE DOUBLE ROK TURN!!! 🍗🍗🍗 #tuffnut #eataroastturkeywhole #brutelife

#fabtcg armory recap, went 2-1 on counterburn Oscilio in CC. R1: Rhinar W - My deck sang like an angel, no way it was losing! R2: Jarl W - Almost decked out even from 69 cards, but we got there! R3: Ira L - Punted by being greedy mid-game, came back to bite me when I lost by 1 life.

My few marvels are all special to me in their own way, 3 of them in particular. But the one that is perhaps the most special, is this young Zyggy. It might not be much of a "showstopper" at first glance, but there's a story to it that involved me being brought to (happy) tears: #fabcw @fabtcg.com

"No one's every been compromised for being a white, straight male with two blue eyes." Protest the Hero - Tilting Against Windmills I think these guys are astonishingly underrated. Rody Walker's poetic lyrics put the depths of his humanity on display in every single song and it's truly beautiful.
