Meanwhile, I, a tenured prof, have to measure my words about the *active genocide* directed against trans people. π€

16.10.2025 01:13 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I dunno, sitting down with cascade is kinda like sitting down with Atraxa. You can say you're not That Deck all you want, but it always seems to turn out that way during the game, doesn't it?
16.10.2025 01:13 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My most recent builds are Mardu Terra reanimator, a mid-to-slightly-weak 3, and Vivi, my solid 4. I built them in parallel.

I'm glad I could help enbooben you though!
Yeah, Cascade is a mechanic I detest because I hate non-deterministic combos in general, and Cascade is always that crap.

For certain values of friendly. π€

I love dorky nonsense in Commander!
I see you're reaching for the bimbofication reference first. Well done. π€

16.10.2025 00:27 β π 64 π 1 π¬ 13 π 0I have a story in this anthology coming out next year from @solarisbooks.bsky.social! It's set in the world of THE THIRTEENTH FLOOR, an old British comic book serial about a killer AI that runs a council housing development. This is the first time I've seen Sam Gretton's cover for the collection.

I'm actually a little proud that I snuck a literal button test into that, without highlighting it. π€
Yep. We are who we say we are. That's the test: having the honesty to stand up and say it.

Everyone struggles with that.
Yepppppppp
Ugh
For fucking serious. All of the "are you and B--..."
They never had the guts to finish the question, *despite the fact that B-- had been out as bi for ages*.
That's the part that got to me. The assumption that i was inherently disgusting because I was trans. They don't even realize they have it.
Thank you, Emily. It's been a delight to watch you blossom. π
