In the absence of others elections, who is getting ready to watch the Papal Conclave?

Yeah, very much unexpected. And sure, it just really shocked me.

Just goes to show that some things are just talk.

I donโ€™t talk about my work here much, but up until today, I loved what I do.

Then our CFO treated me with utter disdain and was dismissive of my concerns. And that has deeply eroded my love of my work.

It will take time to rebuild that trust.

Long story short. JK is a tool.

Scotland has some devolved powers, they tried to be more progressive about gender. Westminster shut that down hard. Then that cow JK started funding this whole high court decision thing. Simplified version

Trying to do better about gender recognition.

Gotta say, all this anti-trans rhetoric sure seems focused on trans women and not the men.

*taps chin*

Almost seems like itโ€™s just sparkling misogyny.

It is an embarrassing time to be in the U.K. and all this because Scotland was trying to do something about it.

Like, I know I am a cis-het, middle aged, white dude. So it is up to me to make space at the table and to call out the bullshit I see. And this? This is some lot of bullshit

Reducing the definition of a woman to biological sex just seems to be reductive. Itโ€™s a huge step back for feminism and womenโ€™s rights.

Hey trans friends and strangers. I support you and stand with you. The Supreme Court ruling is bullshit for you and Iโ€™m so sorry

Itโ€™s a shame, the early Gen X run was really good.

So, I have an idea for an RPG setting/game. Do I create a bespoke system for it (more work, but will reinforce the themes/tropes of the game)?

Or do I use an existing system and hack it and stretch the setting over the top (less work, but not as good)?

Ugh. It took me a while to realise why my eyes itch and my nose is blocked. Itโ€™s f**ken Spring.

And crowdfunding is only a bandaid solution. Itโ€™s not a long term or sustainable way to run a successful business

Thing is, it is not a sophisticated industry. Itโ€™s basically packaging and publishing - on the business side, and that means the margins are already tight and economy of scale is hard.
