I think I've been fully converted. While a little bit more fiddly to setup, a pole of shavings is so much nicer than a pile sawdust

Best 2 player board games? 1 hour ish and medium weight or lighter. These are not absolutes, open to any good considerations, but be aware I don't like Wingspan or Ark Nova

Hatchlings Games has secured a small shop in the heart of Bristol. If you’re a UK-based zine creator/publisher, please sound off below. We may soon have a space to sell your indie RPGs. No AI permitted and please no graphic content.

And this is the last tie I will bring it up at all. Starve it for the attention she so desperately seeks

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this. Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how. Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Coyote vs Acme was legitimately funny. I honestly rarely luagh in theaters, more than a chuckle, but I had quite a few full belly laughs. I also cried, so yeah. Solid A- (the story was a bit by-the-numbers)

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

She was the best of all us 🖤

Posting all of these today. I loved doing one on her birthday every year that I could. We have lost one of the brightest lights that has ever shined.

Imagine being talented and beautiful and rich and famous and still the most noteworthy thing about you is how good a person you are.

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

It's very hard to be creative right now

wood d12s!! each one has 12 pretties that i drew with my human brain and hands!! these take a really long time and LOTS of focus to engrave (i gotta make sure i keep all the sides in the right spots!!) and i'm REALLY PROUD of them!!!!! why not buy one or five? ariellemilstein.com/dice

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Boycott The New York Times

For years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

Maybe I'm in the minority here but if people who support AI are being shamed into silence then it's working. The shame is working as intended. The left's biggest problem is that it's afraid to hurt the feelings of folks who need to have their feelings hurt. Let them experience introspection for once

I also always have commissions open. No one has ever regretted getting something custom from me, and I absolutely love doing them. Whether it's a cool prop or costume piece, a modded nerf blaster, or custom version something. Whatever you dream up, I can probably make it DM me and we can talk

I actually sold exactly zero of these. If anything would get me to make koozies again it would be a request for these

It's unlikely these Game Master Order koozies would get to anyone before December 25th. But they are still really and you should check em out anyway mrgwillickersstudio.etsy.com/listing/1825...

A thing that happens a lot in TTRPG realm: White designer does something kinda shitty culturally TTRPG discourse spends all energy trying to redeem/explain/reform/understand said designer No energy left for POC designers already doing better stuff.

Humoring the fiction that he is promoting, that the rocks are sort of person-like, and isn't having a soul more or less the same kind of thing as having extremely realistic googly eyes glued to you, it's just a difference of degree, really, is just providing intellectual cover for bad behavior.

C-3PO is like an LLM cause he was built by a fascist, stores a lot of words, but is generally useless and tells you things you didn't ask. at least a droid doesn't hog so many resources

New weapon in progress for #Daggerheart. Calling this one the "Hatchet of the Grove." On to inks, colors, and stats!

People were performing for other people and making art for audiences big and small long before blue sky or tiktok People also worried about how others perceived them for just as long I hate dunking on the popular thing, but platitudes about making art are almost never useful for making art

BTW, you'll never see something like this listed in my etsy, but I am always happy to do commissions, and my dms are open. What's better than a one of a kind, passes most safety checks*, and fools people at a glance, sword? Lots of things, but it's still cool *check your faire's rules, obviously

Sword I made as a gift/commission for a friend (she insisted on paying me) Guess what? It's not eva foam. It's all poplar and mdf in fact. I do really like wood working, and for the graphite trick, a harder surface is needed to work best
