Funny how Sen. Will Brownsberger thinks it’s okay for Watertown to shift property taxes from commercial to residential but not for Boston to do so. Paternalism is so often inherently hypocritical. malegislature.gov/Bills/194/H5...

that or go harder. i've been writing in sailor moon in every election for the past decade and i don't understand why nobody else has been do you people want the silver millennium or not

Resist the fandomification of politics. Stop having faves.

Honestly, any chance i can get to reference Okage is a win in my book. #sixart

youtu.be/G02z-aw_PSM We worked with a local animator to bring this sketch about three friends suffering under terrible curses to life, and I couldn't be more pleased with it. If you like it, there's more sketches that are just as funny and weird over on Field Trip Sketch Comedy Presents!

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday! I really wanna talk about this book, OK.

WHO MADE THIS 💀!

This thing of "I cannot find a romantic partner therefore all is doomed" - the problem is that so many men are socialised against making friends that they put far too much pressure on finding a partner as the solution to all their ills, as if a partner can or should "fix" everything.

Reading about the manosphere for work. It's enraging but ultimately frustrating. The frustration: so little emphasis is placed on just befriending people -yes, including women! - and on being part of a community instead of trying to conquer it. It's fine just being nice. You don't need to be a King.

AJ has so many Guts to give.

Co-signed and underlined. While I get a lot of value out of improvised TTRPG experiences, it's good to call out that an improvised "game" has rules all its own. You are not "ignoring the rules" when you improvise around them. You are changing the rules. (Which is fine, but own up to it!)

courtesy of @krikrit-t.bsky.social teal deer: A lot of people who come from an improv background often ignore the rules of whatever TTRPG they are playing, but only because they are already playing a different game with its own rules However, this has a lot of implications for non-improv players.

To introduce my #ttrpg work to new followers (hi!), to document my actual work, and to fend off impostor syndrome, here's a list of everything I've published or worked on this year: First, FLY FROM MONTGOMERY, a 3rd-party scenario for LANCER. A desperate heist on a war-torn planet!

This is a LinkedIn post, but the most #hashtagdisruption thing Apple could do is make an incredibly safe, kind of nice looking $20k car that is just loaded to the brim with old timey buttons. Maybe you still yell at Siri in it and it pairs to your phone and it GPS tracks you to death, but it'd cook.

I was bullied by multiple people into posting what was originally a rant intended for 4 people about how some improvisors miss out on the joy of following a TTRPG's textual rules

Fetterman is doing tremendous damage to the reputation of the Big Oaf community. Big Oafs did not ask for this kind of toxic representation. Now we must lumber back into the shadows, hiding under bridges wearing our most somber JNCO jean shorts, drowning in both our sorrows & voluminous denim

I don’t have anything against Seth MacFarlane, he seems like a pretty good boss and I watch Family Guy and American Dad like everybody else. But seeing him on screen as a leading man often acknowledges that people from New England have sexuality and that makes me feel unease

Meanwhile a team of four trucks and six crew from the City's Parking and Transportation department was working for half an hour around the corner clearing out the entrance to a PARKING GARAGE. I asked if they could help and they said "we don't do bus stops."

Eliot @ Bennett is the 10th busiest bus stop in Cambridge, many of which are covered (Harvard, Alewife, etc) It has a 4' snowbank between the shelters and street, and was never cleared after the storm a month ago. People have to wait in the street.

Beverly yesterday. Not even the worst examples. 😅 I’m going out today to clear some crosswalks in my neighborhood bc it’s been made pretty clear that the city isn’t going to prioritize it.

Dems have the third largest supermajority in the country in MA. Why put poison pills in your bill instead of passing agenda-setting policy?

Massachusetts Democrats are waging Trump's war on energy efficiency. Make sure your state rep hears that's not okay. #mapoli commonwealthbeacon.org/energy/house...

Older people deserve to see themselves in romances, too. We're not just someone's side characters, we can be the romantic lead just fine. And they can be having lots of sex, a minimal amount of sex, or somewhere in between. They can also be kinky AF.
