Today is the last day of camp and I sent the kids to a Red Wizard enclave on a mission to spy on them and see what the Thayans are up to. But the kids don’t know it’s actually just a bunch of scam artists with no magical powers selling fake or useless magic items.

I’ve had laryngitis since Thursday, spent the weekend drinking throat coat and a weird Chinese herbal honey VO actor connections of mine swear by. had to DM on Friday without a voice. So, I made due by limiting when I spoke, relying on old pre-AI TTS generators, having kids read blocks of text &:

Several upcycled cardboard box cutouts that read “bloodied,” “be cool,” as well as listing out all the types of damage as well as saving throws and skill checks for D&D 5.5

Me: I’m sure the guy playing Lex Luther in the Superman movies definitely just needed the TV money offered, so he just had to do the TERF show. Obv. Also me: By the way, I was being sarcastic. Marge Simpson: Well, duhhhhh.

Had a wild character death happen at the table today. Last week of camp, kid playing a Wild Magic Sorcerer. He gets the WM surge where you have to roll for a surge at the start of every turn for the next minute. Combat ends, but we have to stay in rounds to resolve the remainder of these.

Hey @jessethorn.bsky.social, I thought your recent Put You On with @dieworkwear.bsky.social was really fantastic, and I genuinely would listen to a whole series with your evergreen advice for getting started building a menswear wardrobe!

One of my players was at a different DM’s table last week and that DM let him make a blood pact with one of the final monsters in this adventure. I decided to let it carry over. They’re fighting that monster now. It opened by casting a no-save Dominant Person on that character. 😈

a microcosm of everything. a mob surrounds a trans woman, accuses her of "attempting to enter a women's bathroom", beats up her and her nonbinary partner, then the state swoops in and dumps the trans woman in a men's prison illegally (a rape threat), and both are now at risk of longer jail time

This woman was beaten by a mob for *standing outside of a woman's bathroom* in Louisiana, not even going in, and they've literally just fabricated several charges against her and her partner anyway to justify abusing them further. www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/08/a-mo... On the up side...

Can anyone explain to me how this isn’t what they would have done anyway? Saying they’ll sell through their remaining stock of their collaboration designs for a collection they just launched sure just sounds like they’re gonna keep quietly selling licensed HP merch.

Text: Unique Vintage has always been a welcoming and inclusive place for people who don't fit a mold.

We've listened to your feedback and have decided to move on from the Harry Potter partnership.

As a small business, we plan to sell through our remaining pieces but will focus on promoting other collections.

We're grateful you trust us and we will keep showing up for our community the way you've always shown up for us.

11 years ago Unique Vintage hand delivered a dress to my door to celebrate my first 6 months of being on HRT when I was still a fashion blogger/model of sorts. Today they emailed me advertising yet another Harry Potter collab despite having previous backlash from one. I’ll never shop UV again.

Me: Patrick Page is more spry on a boot than I am without one. My friend: he was probably on a shit ton of pain killers. Me: Patrick Page is more spry on a shit ton of pain killers than I am without them.
