We have always been connected, and our modern conception of borders is the most restrictive it has ever been in all of human history

People imagine medieval Europe as this isolated thing when the pope was writing letters in 1282 to the bishoprics of Iceland, Greenland and the Faroese islands that they need to pay tithe in money and not in walrus tusks and wool and that's why he's hired merchants to do money exchange for them

My pronouns are they/them. I know you all know this but I need to keep saying it.

(AI actually has been used in science and medicine for decades and is incredibly good at doing things like finding cancer that can’t be seen with the human eye but that is a completely different type of AI then we’re all angry about it and we shouldn’t discuss them in the same conversations TBH)

Talk to the people who would use this for dream use cases — the cancer scientists, the people who want to make material goods out of it — and they will tell you it’s either a marginally useful if unreliable trick or completely useless. It has produced 0% of the utopian products promised.

How do I explain to small business owners that the menu on the left is one billion times more appealing than the one on the right

Rush & Punch is finally out! I helped test this a bunch and just got better every time. If you like, fighting big monsters and having fun little narrative arcs in a pretty lightweight system you should check it out!

My favorite part of the trans Peter Parker art going around is that everyone understands Jameson would be incredibly supportive of Peter and hate Spidey for being a bad example to trans people. THAT'S understanding a character.

Starting to work with Robin and the way that I have been has been nothing short of a delight. And she has very quickly and very effectively become close to my heart. I frequently say to her and genuinely mean it when I do, that she will never escape me. A fantastic creative partner. Ɛ>

So you know that study that says committing crimes with someone develops more trust than romantic involvement? That's how I feel about running games with @digthebad.bsky.social. We're like criminals getting away with something every single fucking time. The best creative partner one could have. <3

Private website ownership is not only still possible in 2026 but also cheaper and easier than it’s ever been. I cannot underscore this enough lol. It can be as cheap as 9 a year for the domain if your hosting is free (otherwise can be under 10/mo) and as easy as using a template

Please please please make your own fucking site lol

You don’t have to like this guy‘s politics to recognize that everyone who has insisted for decades that The Issues are almost all too complicated and too nuanced to explain to voters let alone address was lying to you.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

No, you're not overreacting. We live in a truly sick universe where a grave for a fictional character created by a raging transphobic sociopath can be easily protected, while the sacred lands of REAL historical people are almost always treated as "negotiable."

I'm in the big leagues, mum - my first crowdfunder. All The Way Down is a 150+ room, 6+ floor megadungeon we "wrote in 30 days", and goodness, it gets esoteric in your descent towards the reptilian core - we've really cooked. The turtle swims to availability this October. I hope to see you there.

Jim Henson didn’t muppeteer a tiny green frog that was singing and playing the banjo, with rubber gloves while totally submerged underwater in a airtight aluminum tank just so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

I'm going fucking insane. What the fuck. This is incredible. Misery In Cathigan has been an exceptional experience. While joining is now closed, I am endlessly thankful for this experience. I love every player who has stuck this out with me. This has been something special and I'm glad it is loved.

What?? More art for a game from me?? No one could have seen this coming... I am currently playing a horror game called Misery In Cathigan and holy shit I am having so much fun being scared! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ ) Recently finished this fanart for the game and I'm sure more will come very soon.

I've been helping @rmrondel.itch.io run Misery in Cathigan which has been a wonderful and horrific experience! Super flattered by my friend @indigosoup.bsky.social's fan art and want everyone to look at it!

Do cis people have even the slightest idea how it feels for trans people to hear that large groups of Americans are now being tested to see if one of us is hidden among them

yeah but this is also why rich people are often evil to actually get rich you need the ability to step over your peers and your community, your friends, manipulate the system is extremely evil ways, be a fucking psychopath. You can't get rich by being good unless you're very lucky

I'd love to credit whoever wrote this. No idea. But I'm 100% with its message. When I think of how the '80s ethos, "Greed is Good" has metastasized, it surprises and depresses me. Imagine having so many millions, hundred of millions, even billions & caring about nothing except your own vanity.

I'm not getting involved.
