Happy Dolly Parton Day, everyone. Raise a glass. Donate to a charity. Make some music.
Almost a year without a car. Mental health has taken quite a hit if I'm being honest
Sorry I'm posting about elections and shit so much. Starting to feel familiar in the bad way. Texas is just REALLY INTENSE right now and this is my home
This is informed by me living in a gerrymandered state where voter suppression is so high that overwhelming numbers are basically the only thing that can beat incumbent Republicans but: WE GOTTA VOTE FOR BETTER EVEN IF IT'S NOT BETTER BY ENOUGH Not "just vote", vote AND push for better AND advocate
Of the types of troll, I feel like sealions are one of the most insidious. Especially because doing it takes thought AND some understanding of the subject. And some dare to claim what they're doing is the socratic method which is .. ugh. It's the socratic method like mud is water
I watched a thing about a restaurant that was failing and the head chef/owner was from Japan but started changing his food to kinda cater to white folk (Japanese "fusion"), but it didn't work so he compromised more of his food, and it still didn't work,
A map maybe? I dunno what do we think
Chris the DM@confusatron.bsky.social · 4d agoHey DMs/GMs/Tabletop players! I'm making a little journal for tabletop sessions. QUESTION: If you had a 5x6 space to fit some info printed on paper of some kind, to have handy, what would it be? Stats, prices, rules, blank space for notes, other? #dnd #ttrpg
I never do this but for real, man. We HAVE to oust the bastards in charge, and lots of the things these two (hinojosa especially) want to do are very good things I want them both to win but I'd feel especially good if hinojosa beats Abbott because that's Texans voting for who's in charge HERE
Chris the DM@confusatron.bsky.social · 6d agoHey if Texas flips the future gets SO MUCH less grim, for Texans and for the whole country, and I don't think that's an exaggeration. So if you can, donate to Talarico and Gina Hinojosa. Both are leading in polls, but yeah... polls. Even just $1 earns you a digital high-five from me

I've gone back and forth on this subject in my time on this earth but I've landed on the belief that refusing to thank people for a minimum level of decency and kindness is like training a dog without ever rewarding the desired behavior, only punishing them if they do it wrong
Looking at a good thing a person's doing and having nothing to say other than "they should've done this and should stop doing business with these people and should do this more" is gonna be an easy mute from me, man. Purity bullshit has no place in a world where actual progress happens
AI will have to pry the em dash, semicolon, and oxford comma outta my cold dead hands before I give it up. Fuck them robots.
It seems SOME people don't know that if Americans see even PART of a boob they will GO FERAL and start BITING PEOPLE and on the third day EXPLODE AND PERISH good god y'all
So Paxton is behind in every demographic except people 50+ years old. I really hope I don't age into a single-issue lemming Like, the only real reason to vote for this man is brand loyalty. He's not that likeable, he's riddled with scandal... and he dresses like an interim youth pastor.
Spider-Man: No Way Home is a fantastic movie and that's a hill I'll gladly die on Brand New Day is also FANTASTIC btw you should watch it Man they're all great
Ok but elohim IS a "non-binary" term though But these dudes also legit believe the Bible that a bunch of men edited and translated is exactly the way it was originally. Rather than a game of telephone played with a bunch of racist old farts. Really pretty wording though! So yeah
I heard about a deepfake smear attack against Talarico and thought "god that's terrifying" and just now I finally watched it and OF COURSE IT'S STUPID
Ok finally got it to work. It was truly doing nothing for most of the times I clicked it. Loaded it as desktop page, maybe that helped? Horseshit regardless
Chris the DM@confusatron.bsky.social · 2w agoA fun thing is that I just went to check my voter registration online and when I click "submit" LITERALLY nothing happens. It doesn't try to load something and time out, no progress bar, nothing. Watch Texas, y'all. It's bad. It'd be real cool if the dnc would decide to actually spend anything here
