Pines (They/Them)

If you’re surprised the king of hogs went to the side of unchecked power and aggression, you’ve not paid enough attention over the last decade.

Hey #ttrpg community!

My partner Sprout and I are starting a new endeavor tonight; to play ttrpgs as a duo. Come see if we can make it work as we play Demigods by @itsprobablyok.bsky.social tonight @7pm EST over on twitch.

Fingers crossed the soap works. I think the reason window cleaner works is because it has vinegar in it? Not sure on the since of it, but best of luck, and let me see the results if that’s cool!

Lmao. Based on my FYP there, yes. It’d do very well.

Heads up friend. Most vape liquid is either glycerin or salt based. I know it sounds weird but I’ve had luck removing glycerin based products with window cleaner. Hope this is helpful.

It’s giving Ethel Cain

What’s up Bluesky? I’m Pines, local plastic brick enjoyer (read #Lego), New England #history dork, and #ttrpg player (read #DM). Can someone point me in the direction of my people?

Face to feed the algo.

20 years ago we were suing teenagers for millions of dollars because they were torrenting a single Metallica album and now billionaires are demanding the free right to every work in history, so that they can re-sell it.

The law only ever serves capital.

To announce one of my latest projects, let's start with some techniques used for it. I hope it helps building your MOCs. (This technique isn't mine - found it on Flickr a few years ago)

Please… please donate or buy my merch, I have no fucking clue how Imma pay rent… i already chose to pay power over internet and phone bill with the last bit.

Email screenshot. Subject line "Your Design Has Been Removed From TeePublic." Email body: "DMCA Takedown Notice Dear Rachel Kenaston, We're sorry to inform you that an intellectual property claim has been filed by UnitedHealth Group Inc against this design of yours on Tee Public: CEO Shooter"

Continued email from first image: How This Works Unfortunately, we have no say in which designs stay or go. According to our Intellectual Property. Policy. and the law, we are required to remove designs when a rightsholder sends us a valid takedown request. For more information, you can check out this article or read the DMCA in full here.

Artist Rachel Kenaston shared an email with me saying UnitedHealth Group filed a DMCA claim to stop her from selling a merchandise with HER artwork of Luigi Mangione. There was no United logo on the design, just Luigi.

How does that infringe on UnitedHealth IP or copyright at all?

Just some food for thought from a #ttrpg lover. Trust your DM knows what’s best for their table, and thank them for holding the space for you to do the thing you love.

I have turned away plenty of friends in the past who have asked me to DM for them because I am unwilling to do that level of emotional labor for them, I know they won’t respect my time/boundries, or just because I don’t feel I have a story to tell with them atm. I have never regretted it.

For as much as we’ll talk about player safety in #ttrpg, the DM is so often overlooked. In the same way a DM or another player shouldn’t veto an X card, players should trust that their DM knows what’s best for the story they are laying out, and the chemistry of the table.

We don’t talk about it enough in #ttrpg spaces but sometimes it’s ok to not let someone join your table as the DM, and there should be no further explanation needed besides that.

AYO! I've made my 1ST Starter Pack for Bluesky!

And I got plans for this list ! 😉🤗😇

Reminder: whether a person makes it on the list isn't a sign of me endorsing a person's views, but rather, an expression from me that I think it'd be interesting for me to play some games or chat on stream w/them!

Crashing out. One of my cats pissed in hidden areas overnight even though I just cleaned her box. I cleaned them all up and started getting ready to leave to catch a train which I’m now late for. She looks me dead in the eyes from her litter box and takes a fat piss. She just wanted to being a dick.

OK, BlueSky... Let's go!

We'll start with some miniscaled Ents 🌳

"[…] Hroom, hmm, come, my friends. The Ents are going to war. It is likely that we go to our doom. The last march of the Ents."

Goose bumps! Everytime. Same now. 🥰
