knowing the rules is only part of a good teach. information architecture is a whole field, and you want to structure your teach too: 'how to win -> what do on turn' but mindful of how much people can hold in their brains at once. teach some stuff later. be brief at first then detailed later

Okay, the crowd going nuts like someone just scored a touchdown at the Super Bowl all *through* the KDH performance is a hell of a thing to see hear/see:

As usual with conspiracists, if their theories were true the evidence would be overwhelming.

News: "J.K. Rowling announces that she will be using her private wealth from the Harry Potter series to develop the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, an organization dedicated to removing transgender rights 'in the workplace, in public life, and in protected female spaces'"

Tumblr post by mintedwitcher: read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more. our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia. trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

Even if all you're doing is fandom stuff that "doesn't give JKR a penny," IT DOES THOUGH. It keeps her legacy alive. It keeps her work popular. Which likely makes someone somewhere give her a few pennies going forward.

Queer-friendly fantasy writers exist in abundance. Please come find us!🌈📚🪐

Red sprites remind us that our planet is incredibly special, and still has some secrets that aren't always easy to find.

Don’t let the desire to make “good” art stand in the way of making art.
Make bad art earnestly and joyfully. Pour your heart into poorly executed, derivative creations. And maybe it will end up “good” eventually or maybe it won’t, but either way you got to experience the magic of creating.

BLUESKY HOW-TO:

Bluesky does not use an algorithm to populate our timelines, so we need to create our own private "algorithms", using a set of Bluesky tools, many of which are created by 3rd party developers.

Here's the breakdown... 🧵 (1/7)
