Thank you to everyone sharing & donating! I'm now at 25% of my goal (to cover August rent, COBRA, meds, other essentials). Trying to job search during Gen Con season is rough. I truly don't expect responses anytime soon, since everyone is traveling and busy. Today: Gotta Uber to a doc appointment.

First up is editor Lynne. Lynne’s spotfund has not gotten much traction and this is unacceptable. She needs our help to stay housed and insured with complex medical needs. BLOW THIS LINK UP. @lynnemeyer.bsky.social

Paizo fans, #ttrpg enthusiasts, union supporters. We need to build a LOT more energy for our laid-off United Paizo Workers members’ crowdfunders. Both of the two people crowdfunding are in Indiana where the safety net is nonexistent, healthcare is through the roof, and options are limited. 🧵

I swear, when it rains it pours - and life has thrown Auryn and I into the eye of a hurricane. More details on our GoFund Me, but TLDR: between being laid off, emergency surgery, and a totaled car, we're in far over our head. Any help, even boosting this post, is appreciated. gofund.me/b57cb5e96

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.

🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness. 

🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.

🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law. 

🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”

As I'm thinking about the future, and what awaits, I've been thinking about one of my homebrew settings... Thinking about new classes, archetypes, and ancestries that can fit into it. Hopefully will be publishing them soon, either on some place like Patreon, or on Infinite!

I was laid off as a part of this restructuring. I loved working on Starfinder during my time at Paizo, with all of my amazing colleagues, who then became cherished friends. I hope folks enjoy my work in Tech Core, especially the Tactical Starship Combat rules. paizo.com/blog/paizo-r...

Galactic Ancestries is the best book Paizo has ever produced. This is world-changing for the PF2E / SF2E universe. I am so impressed. I've dropped everything I'm doing to produce preview content for the channel tomorrow. There are so many little guys to cover!
