Nine emails for various projects, all sent within 45 minutes, all opting me into further updates for projects I might not care about.

Hey @backerkit.com , I do like hearing about new projects, but 9 in 45 minutes is way too many. It sure would be nice if there were a way to limit how much unprompted stuff I get from y'all. But also it would be even better if they were "opt in" notifications, frankly unsubbing 'em all is a chore...

This. I get so frustrated with the bus metaphor to. I'll pick the bus that takes us to Alcatraz over the one that takes us to El Salvador... But I'm not happy about it, and I wish picking a bus that takes us somewhere nice wasn't effectively a vote for ES. We really need to get money out of politics

Indiana is a hostile place to trans people and every single one of you I saw at GenCon are the bravest and most beautiful people in the world and I'm glad we were out there visible and bold in the face of this cruel and heartless world. Each of you were a walking balm of gold out there.

Pictures of work in progress miniatures on an old college dining hall tray. For industrial buildings from the base shatterpoint box painted such as you might see on tatooine have several trench crusade miniatures posed stop them.

Deliberately misinterpreting you to say that an Oblivion RPG would be great but I'm not sure DND would be a good vehicle for it.

I use a modified version stolen from Tenra Bansho 0. Each player can give inspiration to another player once per session that lasts till the end of the session, dm can give inspiration which lasts until used. I use white and blue poker chips (white becomes blue when you give it away) + red from dm.

I think Morathi is the most recent winged, at least that I've got good pictures of. I also painted the Phoenix from #kdm recently but don't have a decent picture of it to hand.

credit card companies determining what a platform can & can't have, especially when it comes to adult content, is BAD FOR US. they already banned things as innocuous as bunny girls (& way more) on fansly, and now they're gonna try Steam.

purity culture is deeply ingrained in our financial systems.

Got my first real game of #trenchcrusade in. Lost 4 to 5... But it was very much down to which of us succeeded the last relic recovery roll in the final round and Cole got it in the fourth attempt...

More progress on my #mordheim #frostgrave #Warhammer #dnd terrain. The roofs aren't glued on yet ( I want to glue in some rubble first) so I made sure to label which goes to which.

"Violence" in Social Movements β€’ 111
They Will Call You Violent
If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent.
Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something?  Me too.  Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code.  And that's all it does.  You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even.  Read the source; nothing up my sleeves.  Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself.  If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free.  Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!
