Tums causes hurricanes. How about that

lots of funny replies to this but what tickles me so much about Even Flow is its plausibility. like "Love Stinks" is ironic, but Even Flow could easily be someone's drunk uncle earnestly trying to keep the party vibe rolling

Does Super Mario Bros. (1985) Have Rules? Yes! No? Maybe? Why do you care? Why does it matter?

I found this article by @jdragsky.bsky.social incredibly interesting and compelling, and I think many of my current (boardgame design) and ex (philosophy) colleagues will too: possumcreek.medium.com/does-super-m...

Like Alasdair says: even if we made NSFW stuff it should not be delisted.
But nothing we make has been tagged NSFW or adult.

We have contacted itch support.
This is why supporting us directly is SO important.

In addition to the great commentary on censorship and autonomy, there's some really interesting stuff here about examining consent or reconsidering how to frame it altogether through the lens of kink, especially with more difficult or uncomfortable subjects (and not just the kinky ones).

Earlier this month I did an AMA facilitated by @stickydoodler.bsky.social with indie TTRPG designers who want to learn about how some libraries with TTRPG collections collect and process indie titles. This is a thread with notes and photos of the games in the collection at my academic library.

In 2021 I warned itchio could one day face payment processor censorship. Many people thought I was creating drama by “attacking” the company

Four years later, here we are. I was right, unfortunately

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer.

Sounds GREAT to me.

Buy independent.

Elon Musk’s DOGE is feeding sensitive federal data into AI to target cuts Department of Government Efficiency workers embedded in the Education Department have been processing sensitive agency data using artificial intelligence.

I spoke to @washingtonpost.com about reports that AI tools are being used with federal data noting that this is occurring without transparency, consent, or attention to privacy and security concerns, and heightening the American public's mistrust of AI www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

This quote has been getting around quite a bit these days for some strange reason.

Subscriber Goals 1,950 - Current subscribers. This pays four Rascals $1,600/month with just enough left over for a few contributors, a couple conventions, a myriad of administrative costs, general upkeep, and taxes. 2,000 - A nice round number and very achievable goal. Year Two, same as Year One plus insurance. 2,025 - We bring on Ranged Touch’s Cameron Kunzelman to write a monthly column. 2,075 - All Rascals get a $100 raise! Also, we convince Lin to take time off from Hollywood and write for us more regularly! 2,100 - We add another monthly columnist to the roster. (Are you a BIPOC writer? Want to throw your hat in the ring? Reach out: info@rascal.news.) 2,150 - All Rascals get another $100 raise! 2,200 - We send part of the team to Essen Spiel in Germany, establishing our European invasion. 2.225 - You guessed it: one more Benjamin in every Rascal’s pocket! While these targets don’t give us a living wage yet, they do get us closer! It’s a long road and we’re here for the long haul.

Help us reach our goals this month during our first anniversary pledge drive!

Cis folks, check on your trans friends right now. I don't ever think I've seen this many friends in crisis. It's beyond anything I ever imagined. We're not ok.

Or, more directly, you can try visiting this link: www.facebook.com/off_facebook..., though when I've tried going directly there it doesn't work every time (potentially because the site is getting overloaded right now).

For people who can't find this setting in your mobile apps, and can't find it when you search for it on the desktop site, you can find it through this link: www.facebook.com/help/2207256...

That link should work if you're logged in on a desktop. From there, you can follow the same steps others have outlined. First, disconnect from all places. I individually disconnected and then also "cleared all activity," which is probably redundant. THEN, manage future activity and disconnect there.

Remember #ZineQuest is a poorly supported corporate ploy to create platform dependency for small creators.

#ZineMonth (#ZiMo) is a cool decentralized community event where we celebrate, release, and fund #TTRPG zines each February.

Do either. Do neither. Do both.

Here we go again... #ZineMonth #ZineQuest #ZiMo #TTRPG
