Their language is too individualistic, then. I was reading their words.

Saying, "Nobody will help you," just comes off as a "rugged individualism" style of doomerism to me. Encouraging community and mutual aid might be the better message.

Yeah, "writing off red states" is kinda what got us here.

Isn't the point to inspire people to act? To show that somebody is doing something? Sitting on social media and telling people that you're not here to help them is kind of the opposite of that.

Gonna be honest with you: Anonymous kinda feels like a bunch of windbags. I get some good article shares and such from various Anonymous accounts, but not sure what you all actually do. Weren't you supposed to be a hacking collective, at one time? Is that done?

It's a satire account.

I think a lot about this quote from AnaΓ―s Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:

β€œAmerica is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

These authoritarian guys all have the same toddlerish scrunchface that they think looks tough.

There's also the implicit racism, at least in the US. Buses are largely associated with "urban" which is journalism-speech for "black".

Foam Brain, Forged Gaming, and Die Hard Dice are my go-tos. The FLGS I manage sells more of those three brands than any others.

Starbucks baristas are going on five days of escalating ULP strikes in response to the company backtracking on our promised path forward, starting tomorrow in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle... and soon, from coast-to-coast. 🧡

BREAKING: The biggest strike against Amazon in U.S. history is happening right now.

The Teamsters are picketing facilities across the country.

The union has organized workers at 10 Amazon locations AND they're putting up picket lines at hundreds of other Amazon sites nationwide.

In the face of atrocity and corruption, it is incumbent on us not to lose our spirit to a sick society. Bring yourself joy. Expand your mind and let your heart be without boundaries. Be excellent to eachother.

You're not wrong! My partner and I are taking steps to ensure we don't. There are already so many kids who need good homes, too.

That's literally always why people in power urge procreation.

President Elon Musk wants to shutdown the government so he can pave the way for massive tax cuts for him and his billionaire insiders while your fucking grandma pays the bill out of her social security check.

I don't doubt it! I love to see games from different regions, but it's easy in the US to forget how different the design, publishing, and distribution channels are around the world.

I gave a seminar at GAMA this past spring (and will be doing it again in February) on why retailers should carry indie RPGs. Got a great response, which gives some hope. But emphasized that a big part is just making weird stuff accessible.

As a retailer, I have to say: retailers have to up their game, too. Gamers will ABSOLUTELY dig into messy indie zines and the like if the people who sell them games educate them. But too many fall into the WotC trap and fail the gaming community as a result.
