My baby boy has made it to the big leagues! He might be inexperienced and a little naive but he makes up for it with his enthusiasm! I had a blast getting to be a player this time around, and I look forward to sharing more of Golden Boy with you all 🚀
Bring Your Own Mech || BYOM@bringyourownmech.bsky.social · 8mo agoHe's just happy to be here. Killian "Golden Boy" Galway is played by Reed @reedplays.bsky.social! Listen to our mainline show if you'd like to hear them in the GM seat!
Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment. It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.
It's heeeeeeeeeere!!!!! And now I finally get to talk about P.O.E.T.S, coming soon! I finally get to be a player character again 🥹

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
My essay on Strange New Worlds has become about how capitalism hollows art into postmodern nostalgic, contextless product that reinforce cultural norms creating a “centrist” view that frames fascism as just a side in a debate with marginalized voices who challenge the hierarchies fascists exploit.
Holy shit: Stateline spoke to nearly a dozen firefighters, agency staffers and contractors, who said that top officials assigned to the fire deployed the crews to a remote location under false pretenses so federal agents could check their immigration status. www.hcn.org/articles/fir...
Firefighters question leaders’ role in ICE raid near Bear Gulch Fire - High Country News
Firefighting veterans believe the management team overseeing fire crews played a key role in handing team members over to immigration authorities.

I want to make a big thread about the Frankenstein discourse but it's going to devolve into a ramble about the nature of literature and media literacy and the state of it now and it's just not even about Frankenstein being fuckable anymore. So idk. I'm just tired.
So embarrassing for a reviewer of GDT's Frankenstein to be so unfamiliar with the original novel that they would complain that Frankenstein's monster is "too sympathetic"...OPEN THE SCHOOLS! (but also let us have hot sympathetic monsters okay good grief)
It’s demoralizing to watch grifters grow absurdly wealthy by spreading lies that make their audiences feel good, while scientists lose research funding, some lose their jobs (as I did), and hiring freezes sweep across universities and medical centers.
Are the mRNA vaccines incredible? YES! Are the mRNA vaccines perfect? No. Have the mRNA vaccines saved millions of lives? YES! Can we make the mRNA vaccines even better? YES! Can we use mRNA vaccine technology to prevent and treat many other diseases? YES! Fund mRNA research!
bluesky still doesn't know what kind of stuff to show me so it's just showing me a collection of cool sci-fi art, mediocre furry art, critiques of the US medical care system, cool pictures people take of the sky or mountains, and some mediocre furry porn. But still better than twitter

I'm going to try be more active on here in the coming days, because I kind of miss the ttrpg community that I used to have before twitter went to shit. Since starting this degree and getting sick I've gotten really isolated from everything design and actual play, and I wanna fix that 😅 lets chat!
Architectural ableism is the true villain of this campaign. Listen now on your podcatchers of choice!
