Over two years ago I posted about this exact spot and how horribly dangerous this bridge is. When the bridge was planned neighbors lobbied heavily to make it safer. The city overruled. Now the city has failed to maintain the bare minimum it did install. They have been warned repeatedly for years.

I briefly awaken from my social media hiatus to share progress pictures of Chubby Bear Salmon Gobble! It's a push your luck dice rolling game where you play as bears at the Katmai National Park trying to catch and eat salmon to gain weight for the winter. First up, the fish dice.

Three fish shaped dice stacked atop each other, they are the trans pride colors. First a blue four sided fish die, then a white six sided, then a pink eight sided on top.

The media can (and should) reject the Right's deceptive frame. This is not about "references to diversity, equity, and inclusion." It is a neosegregationist attempt to erase everyone but white males from the nation's history.

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

There have been people less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, bc I know I am not unique in this experience.
No thank you to the physics study assoc that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a stripper name within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of computer girl. No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to apologise months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so no hard feelings remain hopefully And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was surprising that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with you should consider it. No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists don't know how to design an experiment. No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent.
And finally, no thank you to the exec board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.
... You have made me feel like I do not belong in science & I cannot forgive you for that.

Before the US election Sen. Wyden cites 404 Media, NOTUS, & Krebs on Security reporting showing a tool called Locate X can warrantless track phones at abortion clinics. "These tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Data brokers are selling the ability to track phones that visit abortion clinics and follow them back across state lines, all the way to their owners’ homes. All it takes for this kind of 24-hour surveillance is a credit card. Given the creepy enthusiasm with which MAGA government officials are inserting themselves into women’s health choices, these tracking tools present a pressing danger for women across the country.

Again and again, MAGA politicians show that they will go to shameful lengths to control women’s bodies.
According to reports by multiple news organizations last week, the data broker Babel Street allowed a private investigator to use its Locate X tool to zero in on abortion clinics and other sensitive locations. While Babel Street advertises its tool as being for government use, in practice this private investigator received a weeklong trial subscription, apparently without any vetting whatsoever.

Some small TTRPG items I'd previously posted over on mastadon, based on artwork from @perplexingruins.bsky.social 's patreon! They're stat-less (outside of a Cairn or ITO or Brighter Worlds style damage die on the weapons) and should be usable in anything fantasy-ish.

The Hard-Headed Hammer

d8 damage

A simple stone hammer engraved with a skull and diamonds. Its wielder once returned to life after using it to smash up Death's boat, rather than crossing the Black River.

If you die while wielding this weapon, Death will always offer you a deal to return you to life in exchange for handing over this hammer.
Death wants it as a trophy after the boat incident.

The illustration shows a hammer with a simple wooden handle, and a roughly hewn squared stone head with engraved diamonds and a skull. The base of the handle is wrapped with cord and has a spike attached to the bototm.

The Warlord's Helm of Comfort

The Warlord Kelthsis once complained that the worst part of campaigns of conquest was being away from the comforts of her home.

An ambitious enchanter, attempting to curry favor with the Warlord, crafted the Helm of Comfort. No matter where, when the Helm's wearer goes to sit down a throne made of fluffy clouds is summoned beneath them to provide a seat of unsurpassed luxury.

The enchanter's unfortunate habit of nervous laughter lead to Kelthsis believing she was being mocked, and to the craftsman's subsequent execution. Despite this, Kelthsis was rarely seen without the Helm while traveling.

The illustration shows a metal helmet with slightly mismatched animal horns mounted to the sides. The eye slots have menacing sharp corners, and a spiked plate is attached to the forehead.

Vestige of the Slayer

d8 damage

A sword forged as a dragon's bane, and used to slay the ancient Wyrm of Burning Judgment. Although the sword's original magic was fully spent during the successful, but fatal, fight against the Wyrm some of its wielder's spirit remains.

The remnants of the original wyrm slayer lingers to give the current wielder expert guidance. While held, a single question asked about a dangerous beast will be answered accurately, but no further questions may be asked until that beast is defeated.

The illustration shows a simple sword pierced into a hilltop. The sword has slightly glowing runes engraved into its blade and hilt.
