i just took a real photo of my real cat walking in the real garden that looks ai-generated – one of her back legs looks like it's growing from her opposite flank & one paw is very weirdly shaped – because of the google pixel's godawful overprocessing that you can't turn off. this is how i jokerify

'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

solo RPG-ers: what do you like (or dislike) when it comes to encounters in a game? could be in how they're set up / resolution mechanics / both / other. is there anything you wish solo-first games or systems would do more / less / differently?

more fun facts about this game 🃏 potential finds are represented by playing cards. more/less cards are available each turn depending on if the tide is going in/out 👾 creature encounters can be resolved peacefully or violently. this will be remembered! 💀 you can super fucking die

I am so excited to share the preview for KRALDUM, my solo mudlarking RPG coming this autumn to Gamefound for RPG Party 2026. lots, lots more to come, but you can read a bit about the project here and click follow to see how it develops. I'd appreciate it grandly! gamefound.com/en/projects/...

“More than three-quarters of a million acres of Britain’s national parks are covered by intensively-managed grouse moors which leave nature impoverished and contribute to climate breakdown… an area more than twice the size of Greater London” www.rewildingbritain.org.uk/press-hub/20...

20% of national park land is nature-impoverished grouse moor

Nature-impoverished grouse moors cover our national parks, Rewilding Britain shows that wilder national parks can tackle the climate & nature crises

If we sold just 12 more prints, we’ll be able to have donated over £1,000 to The Sameer Project in Gaza. They’re currently in desperate need of support and have had to pause their food donations due to lack of funds. 100% of the £15 price is donated: polari.press/throw-sand/

A poster on a pale pink background reads “Throw sand in the gears of genocide” in a custom uppercase font. In the background are some Palestinian poppies in red.

tried filming a demonstration of the card-based item collection mechanic in kraldum for a reel and it was unusably long. managed a short enough version in the end by making it vaguer and taking out the clocks and (already massively simplified) dice rolls. HOW do people do this

tor-in-the-mud@toothandshore.bsky.social · 5d ago

you can find knockoff versions of every daily nyt game so easily! so. easily!!! even if you needed those games to live, which you don't, there are extremely convenient alternatives. between trans rights and gaza what are you DOING

Gretchen Felker-Martin PRE ORDER CHIMERA 2.16.27 🍉@scumbelievable.bsky.social · 5d ago

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

this has me thinking about the posters i used to make in photoshop for the queer cabaret at a fan convention, and how joyously shit they were. a computer can never be truly camp, therefore a computer must never be asked to create a cheap flier

Davis Bickford@davis.social · 5d ago

The next time you consider making a flier with AI, please also consider that the most intriguing ad I’ve seen this week is a garage sale sign made of particle board with spray painted writing that reads, “GOOD SHIT —>”
