the lead singer of pixel grip with words written over it saying; "you should listen to & watch the KEXP Pixel Grip set ps. the whole album rules"

like, wahtever, you can back it or not, but if this book is even a fraction of what it is like to have a conversation with Deacon about the topic -- ***then I want everyone whose bodily safety I care about to read this book.***

NO really!

More words for emphasis.

If I care about you, Read Book

Come Out Alive Rethink Your Personal Safety

The author of this book is the singular most thoughtfully obsessed person, on the topic of self-defense, that I have ever met in this world. His thoughts on conflict & violence, both systemic & interpersonal, have burned their way into my worldview for life.

it is interesting that twitter changed it's name to the computer symbol for "Close that window"...

so i instinctively want to close the window of any post or screenshot that comes from there...

which feels right & good!

aww, thanks!

my money is on making number of likes invisible,
just as like a toggle option or something

interesting. i never thought about weaseling* as the root evil of what people call metagaming.

*my table often references "don't be a weasel" from BitD

I don't know why metagaming is seen as such a sin.

Recent convo:
Me: I'm not gonna be here to play next week, so maybe my character could go off on this sidequest.
My GM: That's metagaming.
Me: Obviously! I am explicitly metagaming.

yeah, even just learning the concept of "attention economy" from you, has given language to name the specific layer of our current late-capital hellscape.

can't wait to read & recommend your book!

anyone else still waiting for tiktok to diagnose yer neurodivergence?

Should I be insisting all my niblings call me their "first-cousin-once-removie" instead of Auntie? LOL

lol, i have a running game where my friend & I compete about who gets told "happy halloween" the soonest.

I feel this is the same problem.

"Who are you cosplaying"

"Oh, its an OC from a really obscure fandom, real life."

If you are punk or gay or rad, & you have a chance to go see
DOG MOVIE (2023)
you absolutely should. It rules, it's the best, funniest, realest, endearingest, making-fun-of-everyone-without-punching-down-&-still-being-funniest movie i've seen in a long time.

Don't be fooled, DOG MOVIE is a goddamn documentary. It depicts the TRUE & ACCURATE lifestyle of the scumbag princess & the struggling tenderqueer FLAWLESSLY! I'm such a goddamn fan of this movie, I cannot talk it up enough!

8/15 at LF3! @veradrew22.bsky.social moderates a Q&A w/ filmmaker Henry Hanson for DOG MOVIE 🐶 (2023) at 7/9:30pm.

They’re so cool. DOG MOVIE (2023) filmmaker Henry Hanson @degeneracynow.bsky.social with moderator Vera Drew @veradrew22.bsky.social + cast members Jessi Gaston, Milo Talwani, & Marten Katze Friday night at LF3.

DOG MOVIE fucking slaps so hard. I just saw it this at an underground film fest & it was absolutely far and away my favourite movie of the year of our lord* 2025

here it is in DungeonScrawl

turning Einstein tiles into a hex map for a randomly generated labyrinth

aww, thanks for highlighting this.

I know these terms are loaded, but I think of it as the Tenderqueer <---> Scream Queen dichotomy.

I do believe alliance is possible, & am ultimately glad to see people stating their asks to the public.

i feel like this issue is a tragic clash of neurodivergence.
As a person who;
- has little awareness or control of my volume
- has loud tics, like shouting & laughter
- I associate being told to quiet down with institutional authorities & class hierarchies (not saying you are those things)

obvi, it's a reindeer & lingonberry pemmican-jerky

my first and only penta was ages ago with an un-nerfed Morgana & imma be real, it was absolutely by accident.

but i still remember it feeling so good

i have a mandela effect memory of it being from Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land*, but i cannot find any evidence of such

*this IS where the word Grok is from, which meant something cool before you know...

if the House of Leaves was a punk house, everytime it mysteriously expanded we would just be like, "sick! we can add like; a practice space, a screenprinting studio, a zine library, or a grow op, AND two new roommates & their dog."

but what about the mice!!?!

(cause evertime you mention doing good things for everyone, someone will bring up a largely debunked experiment about overcrowded mice)

f yeah, this looks so cool

absolutely slain
