does anyone know what's so enjoyable about sitting in the left lane and going 3 mph under the speed limit that makes every pickup, utility, and semi truck on i-80 like doing it so much

i was born in the wrong generation. we need to return to the days where men were men, and men were women, and men were bears, and men were fairies, and men were everything... because women weren't allowed onstage... wait maybe that's not the right generation that sounds terrible i take it back—

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked, "If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?" Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

lady macbeth: i love you with strange tenderness that startles me and i cannot allow myself to be so soft

Sadia Bies's illustration of James Mendez's RPG character, Item Girl (C.S. Pūja). Item Girl is a blue-skinned rākṣasi with four arms, clawed hands and feet, horns, tusks, fangs, and long black hair in a braid. She is wearing golden armor and jewelry, loose red-orange trousers, and a white apron. She's in an Indian dance pose, with a star-shaped magical weapon hovering above one claw, and a severed head in another.

I adapted a pattern from Night Spirit Studios to suit the game that @timeformars.bsky.social is writing. Dunno what she’ll actually do with this (decorate a box lid? Sew onto a bag? Not my skill set) but it was fun to stitch. www.nightspiritstudio.com/product-page...

I enjoy taking the very traditional aspects of cross stitch patterns and subverting them. This was originally some cute pumpkin poem, but I updated it to better suit @timeformars.bsky.social. I’m afraid I’ve lost track of the original pattern source.

Cross stitch of pumpkins sitting on a rustic wooden gate. The fabric is linen-like in color and texture. From left to right, there’s a small light orange pumpkin, a large round dark green pumpkin, a tall light orange pumpkin, and a very large bright orange round pumpkin. Vines with various colored leaves twine up each side of the piece, half way up on the right and fully up on the left. In fancy text in the top half of the piece it says “It’s decorative gourd season, motherfuckers”

The writer of a buzzy new Broadway play about content moderation thinks larping is the highest form of theatre www.theverge.com/2024/9/11/24...

So, I guess, do you think live-action roleplay is a form of theater?
Absolutely. I think larping is the highest form of theater. While some would argue that implicit in the idea of theater is the idea of an audience, I would argue that larping is just gift giving and gift receiving. It's theater that is embodied.
You're only doing it for the people you're doing it with.

Conversations this week were in large part musing over the notion that there are really two TTRPG markets. There’s: 🔸 D&D and D&D-adjacent games 🔸 Everything else One makes massive amounts more money than the other and has a much larger population.
