Still so fucking proud of this cover art.

YOU. DO NOT. NEED. TO SIGN UP. FOR PROTESTS.

Hot pink chairs and benches stacked up in a protest with protesters hiding behind them as law enforcement fires upon the barricades with rubber bullets and tear gas

RIOS rios.imagines RIOS rios.imagines Images of the bright pink Civic furniture line that we designed for@grandpark_la "The Park for Everyone," being used by LA protesters stopped us in our tracks. These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect - and now protect. We stand in solidarity with our city during moments of civic expression in support of unjust treatment, and we are reminded of why we design: for our community, diversity, and a sense of belonging.

Everyone saw Grand Park's hot pink benches being stacked into a barricade on Sunday. What an exceptional statement from RIOS, the benches' designers instagram.com/rios.imagines

"These pieces were designed to move, adapt, welcome, connect — and now protect"

Microsoft has tried to do the same this year

I have no problem saying that Greta Thunberg is braver than I’ll ever be. Admit it instead of deepening your cowardice and insisting that she’s done something selfish when she’s done something truly selfless.

'They just don’t align in any way, shape or form': Nick Frost opens up about J.K. Rowling's views and his Harry Potter casting | The Mary Sue If you are benefiting from J.K. Rowling's world, many of us will believe you agree with her unless you tell us otherwise!

🧵 I generally really like The Mary Sue, but I really really dislike the way this article frames that we should "respect" Nick Frost for acknowledging JK Rowling's transphobia and simply saying we should "sit with the discomfort" for NUMEROUS reasons 1/?

👀 I go away for one little expo and now Dead Letter Society is second on the What's Hot list at IPR? 👀

Did you also know The Almanac of Sanguine Paths is 100% compatible with Dead Letter Society if you wanted to add a little vampire-werewolf drama to your games 😇

The cover for Isabella Nagg and the Pot of Basil by Oliver Darkshire, alongside a bunch of facts such as the fact I bought and cultivated a pot of basil to use in marketing and then it DIED on me. what an omen.

i am rarely allowed to do my own book marketing because I will use comic sans and confess things.

No Pride this year, folks.

It's Wrath now.

I'm so glad I finally said fuck Spotify and cancelled my subscription. It's been a hard transition not having it but 100% worth not supporting this kind of bullshit

If @exstasisgames.bsky.social isn't in there, we have numerous solo rpgs and a couple of DMless ones!

Statement from Tristan Kern de Gonzales Husband of Jonathan Joss My husband Jonathan Joss and I were involved in a shooting while checking the mail at the site of our former home. That home was burned down after over two years of threats from people in the area who repeatedly told us they would set it on fire. We reported these threats to law enforcement multiple times and nothing was done. Throughout that time we were harassed regularly by individuals who made it clear they did not accept our relationship. Much of the harassment was openly homophobic. When we returned to the site to check our mail we discovered the skull of one of our dogs and its harness placed in clear view. This caused both of us severe emotional distress. We began yelling and crying in response to the pain of what we saw. While we were doing this a man approached us. He started yelling violent homophobic slurs at us. He then raised a gun from his lap and fired. Jonathan and I had no weapons. We were not threatening anyone. We were grieving. We were standing side by side. When the man fired Jonathan pushed me out of the way. He saved my life. Jonathan is my husband. He gave me more love in our time together than most people ever get. We were newlyweds. We picked Valentines Day. We were in the process of looking for a trailer and planning our future. He was murdered by someone who could not stand the sight of two men loving each other. I was with him when he passed. I told him how much he was loved. To everyone who supported him, his fans, his friends, know that he valued you deeply. He saw you as family. My focus now is on protecting Jonathan’s legacy and honoring the life we built together. If your concern is how someone coped with trauma or how loudly they speak when recounting injustice and being ignored by authorities then you never truly cared about my husband. Jonathan saved my life. I will carry that forward. I will protect what he built. Tristan Kern de Gonzales

Jonathan Joss--voice actor of John Redcorn from King of the Hill, and Ken Hotate from Parks and Rec--was killed in a homophobic hate crime today.

I'm so angry.

Get Ready for Disposable Bags of Meat: a TTRPG of luck, grit, and survival From Ex Stasis Games - Get Ready for Disposable Bags of Meat: a TTRPG of luck, grit, and survival

If you like the idea of playing someone who peaked in high school or never got over their first teenage love, while trying to survive overwhelming cosmic horror, OH BOY are you going to enjoy the Meatbags quickstart.

Follow the Backerkit and you'll get it when it's ready!

Lore's playtesting Meatbags tonight (while I play Locus; I cannot run my own playtests!).

Meatbags characters all have subplots - motivation to stay alive through this horror, reason to explore, and an engine to regain Luck.

So I made handouts. I NEVER make handouts.

Heard from across the house:

WHO THE FUCK DID I MARRY?

(To which I say - I PUT CONTENT WARNINGS ON THE SCENARIO, @critlore.bsky.social)

(which is to say, I'd love to see it)

I'll believe it when I see it.
