In incredible news, the European Parliament has voted overwhelmingly for "The Full Recognition Of Trans Women As Women."

Even the center-right European People's Party voted for the declaration.

It will form a foundation for their position at the UN Commission on the Status of Women.

Art Resources for Broke TTRPG Creators! by WendigoWorkshop A small document with a bunch of resources for TTRPG creators on a budget

If you need art for your TTRPG project, we have made this small list of affordable places to look (we even update it from time to time)!

It is legally protected speech.
That does not give you the right to make money off of it, and it does not guarantee that a company must host that speech.

You can say it, the government can't punish you for it. That's it.

If that was a public school, *that* is a violation the 1st amendment

Every day at work I try to hit ctrl c ctrl v and wonder why it didn't work

I too am confident this is a major contributor to the problem.

There's also a bunch of established Dems that are afraid they will get left behind.

So money and power, as usual

Meanwhile, one crazed lunatic wins a Republican primary and the GOP is like "Guess we're the crazed lunatic party now."

TBC, Fuck the GOP.
But Dems refusing to listen to the base is why this country looks like it does

I will never understand this dynamic:

Progressive candidate: *wins primaries on popular platform*

Democrats: "It's a myth that people want progressive candidates and policies. These people don't represent us."

There is an ethical imperative not only to prevent yourself from profiting J.K. Rowling, but to prevent others from doing so as well. How you choose to do so—advocating for piracy, building social consensus against Wizards,etc—but there is no more "my dnd influencer is an innocent chungus!" people.

Of course, can the shovel fit in my forge?? Only one way to find out

Yeah, the one I was looking at has some rust too, so it's gonna need a lot of care not to get worse. But 1095 I can work with, and I not *too* worried if it isn't perfect.

I have a few blacksmith friends on here. Anyone know anything about the carbon content of shovels, and what it would be like to work the steel and reharden it?

I have an idea for a thing, and would prefer to use scrap metal for reasons

This is it; this is The Good Take.

Do Not submit your ID.
Cancel your Nitro.
Call them out for this stupid decision.

A screenshot of a tweet that says: Your art will betray you. It will look better in your head than on paper. It will make you feel untalented some days. Love it anyway. Because one day, it will also surprise you, fulfill you, and remind you why you started.

Throwback to something worth repeating.

Until skateboarding got introduced in 2021 I couldn't even tell you what was played at the summer olympics because it had been so long since I watched them (respect to the effort obv)

But as a mediocre white dude in a cold region hockey is my culture (also I like all the go-fast-on-snow stuff)

It's also my favorite scale, so I'm pretty excited

This one was a real thinker

It made me go 🤔hmmm mmm mmm mmm

It's a shame how many orgs who were doing good work abandoned all good will to simp for Israel.

I understand that many of them of have been fighting anti-antisemitism for a long time, but supporting genocide ain't the way to keep doing that

I'm suddenly on the prescriptivists side. None of that! No! Bad human!

LOL 😂

Oh, for sure.

We should still be doing our best to get kids to *understand* the rules (better to break them on purpose than haphazardly) and most of public education fails at that basic assumption

But that's also part of why I care less. It truly is not their fault, they never learned better

Fair, but that is how these things change

I still use die, btw, but it's been nearly 30 years since OED said it was dead (still hanging on though, so what do they know?)

Also, we have nomenclature to avoid all of this. What is everyone doing? "Look at this d6"

also, re audhd: I was just joking about our different way of having the same interest. I really hope no offense is taken

I totally get being mad at people using grammar or words wrong. Most of the rules mean something, and I still get unreasonably angry when I see people misspell "lose"

But the main thing I learned in English Education is that grammar is classist and I can't take it seriously anymore

I can see why you might

*okay but sometimes you have to use the rules so we can actually understand each other

I mean this in the friendliest way, tbc. But this is the autistic adhd divide

Because my special interest is also words and grammar so much I got my degree in it, and my view on it is "fuck it use them words however you want*, make up new ones, grammar is fake, language is chaos!!"

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but dice has shifted to mean either multiple dice or one, with die as the singular being considered archaic, according to the OED.

Although Wiktionary says die is still prominent among ttrpg crowds

Twitter post which reads: Apple has landed the rights to turn ‘MISTBORN’ into a film franchise & ‘THE STORMLIGHT ARCHIVE’ into a TV series. Brandon Sanderson will write, produce and consult on all projects. (Source: hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…) Underneath are several book covers from the Mistborn series

Brandon Sanderson is a Mormon and he has admitted that he pays at least a 10% tithe one ALL of his income.
The Mormon Church (Church of Latter-Day Saints, or LDS) is a huge proponent of Project 2025, and routinely lobbies against children’s, LGBT+, and Women’s rights. 1/2

I love you guys so much I'm begging you on my knees to not put Avatar OCs on my fucking feed, why do you want to play dolls with the racist boring Pocahontas retelling written by a man who thinks the Lakota were weak and "gave up" instead of fighting for their culture. Grow and be better

And he was literally chosen by Dem leadership for them to rally behind, rather than let Bernie have a chance
