August's episode is another one shot! This month we're playing a game written by designers who have influenced almost every other game we've played so far

tw eating disorders the problem w/ the discussion is that people are approaching it from the perspective of a Fan of Their Fave Popstar rather than thinking about the millions of young girls (and adults even) who are affected by this imagery being glamorized

i generally think social media is fun but it’s nice taking a break from it and not seeing that severely emaciated celebrity every 2 seconds no matter what i mute

oomf is playing an awesome fire emblem romhack where the hero character appears to be genderfluid for the stat bonuses

In honor of Some Place to Be's season 2 finale, here is a thread with images of the inspirations of every one of Maeve's looks throughout the season in our fae art nouveau inspired setting! #actualplay #artnouveau #butterflycourt #SP2B

"don't make enough money" is a fig leaf All those degree programs--social work, art, etc.--have disproportionately female student bodies. This is designed to make it harder for women to attend college--college education being a key factor in women's autonomy from men & left-leaning voting pattern.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v

I'm digging back through my portfolio and found myself reading my favorite article that I've put out. So, I'm resharing the piece I did for @rascal.news about the Young Heroes of Halcyon, probably the most important thing that's happened to me in the last decade. www.rascal.news/the-greatest...

Crystal Fang from Haunted Polish (And linear holo taco over the ring finger as a test) I wore this with peely base without staining 🙏

If you believe this, and I hope you do, there is nothing stopping you from continuing to protect your vulnerable neighbors by wearing masks in crowded and indoor spaces, especially necessary spaces like healthcare facilities, grocery stores, and public transportation. Absolutely nothing.

Covid lockdowns demonstrated, in a deeply imperfect way, the possibility of large-scale social solidarity for a higher cause. That is a prime reason why so many powerful people want us to run screaming away from them into the comforting arms of selfish individualist competition.

Start your Sunday with this. It's adorable

Cw space horror This week I've seen multiple episodes of tv where people die or almost die in space from no spacesuit over and over again and it's another confirmation that I still don't want this to happen in my ttrpg games and I don't want the other players to ever talk about it as a possibility

Now I get to decide on how to paint my nails yet again... I'm thinking probably peel off base coat tonight and then doing something else on Sunday night

🎸 Square Enix Music ha publicado un nuevo cover oficial de #FinalFantasyXIII. Así suena el tema de la Floresta de Sunleth a voz y guitarra de Altra Fable, quien ya prestó su voz al álbum SQUARE ENIX Vocal Covers - Timeless Classics Vol.2.

Here it is, the skittle I've been planning to paint for weeks! Magnetic polishes on all fingers (except thumbs) with "cat eye" on the left hand and "velvet" on the right #nailpolish (shade names in ALT text replies)

Let’s be clear here, when scientists say mistakes were made at the start of the pandemic, we DO NOT mean that we did too much. We mean not socially distancing quickly enough, not making tests widely available, and not acknowledging COVID is airborne and distributing N95 masks to everyone.

New ep of the FatT Realis game is so big-brained. Looking back at the first episode setting description and going: oh... of COURSE!

Pushing and peeling myself out of my disguise Looking at you, now I am wondering who am I If I could try to take you back, I couldn't define Feeling absence of time Knowing all is decided There's nothing here left to find The story's all in my mind symptom of life - WILLOW

WILLOW - symptom of life

I'll rephrase, what you do want/expect to find in a podcasts pinned post thread? Currently our podcast has our website link, our cast lists per season, links to the TTRPGs we've played, discord link etc. Of course our website has all that information too so maybe the thread is redundant?

Should I remake the SP2B pinned post thread to remove the broken discord link from it or just delete that reply/post and remake just the replies under it? If I do remake the whole thread is there anything I should do differently? I want it the thread to be a useful resource

one last call: I want to talk to you if you’ve ever lost a big save in animal crossing/stardew valley, one that you were heavily invested in. For a forthcoming Verge story. DMs open, email in bio. Thanks so much.

I saw someone say there is a complete lack of sex in actual play. I think you just need to look into smaller shows to find it. Like yeah it sucks the mainstream ones won't touch it but some of us are putting in the work and I don't like seeing people act like we don't exist

Hey so if you’re looking for a Monsterhearts 2 actual play that gets dark, that delves into themes of intimacy and isolation, that has death, violence, and sex, but also has safety discussions on air, our group of trans and/or ace queers is currently releasing one:

The 2034-2035 school year is wrapping up with one last dance and our heroes, supernatural teenagers at an academy run by CAPE, are getting ready to enter a world that doesn’t understand them and definitely never will. dicefiends.transistor.fm/s16/1

This is a well-produced segment. I encourage you to watch so you can hear the noise for yourself. The professor of environmental health science that they interviewed called it an “unprecedented new noise source.”

Neighbors say noise from Michigan data center is 24/7 and upending their lives

One Michigan community has been experiencing the reality of a data center next door for a couple of years now, and they say the sound has changed their lives.

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

hi folks, i'm so close to my goal, only about 150 to reach it, trying to do so before the weekend. please help if you can, i can't stress how grateful I am for people's assistance especially during this month which has been cursed for me w/ illness and personal shit.

I really hope everyone in the TTRPG space watches this video – maybe 2 or 3 times. You might well get pissed off by some of it, but we ALL need to talk about this. And maybe even DO something. (And NOT just the actual play people.) Thank you, @michellicopter.bsky.social, for every bit of this.
