just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

I actually do think a lot of white Americans think activism is about yelling people into submission

Prepping for the first true campaign session for the Ten-Year-Olds tomorrow and giggling at how this home brewed setting is fundamentally "Morgan's special interest in mycelium networks: D&D Edition".

“The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death. They are treasonous to this world and its human and non-human inhabitants.”

Days like these I wish I believed in hell so that I could at least be comforted by the thought that all these evil men throwing bombs at each other and killing children in the process, who are unlikely to see justice in this world, would at least be served it ultimately.

My mom just texted "if it's any consolation, your bite was much much worse."

I was only four but I went flying forward riding in a wagon and the impact on the front of the wagon slammed my jaw shut...directly onto my tongue. It did heal with a lot of stitches, but I do have a heck of a scar.

The latest episode of the Pitt has prompted me to reveal some Morgan lore: which is that I too bit my tongue in half.

Happy presidential birthday!

I've written up a brief script for anyone who wants to call or write your representatives regarding this bill (yes, even the ones you think won't care). PLEASE DO THIS IF YOU ARE ABLE. This bill *cannot* pass.

You can find your representatives here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

I can't get over the external rotation of the feet vs the internal rotation of the legs. @_@

I also just learned there will be a group signing at the Third Place Books booth directly after the panel from 5:15-6:00!

I really wish we had a better way of discussing when a piece, written in good faith by people we know have good hearts, misses the mark instead of endlessly quote dunking the piece in front of the author publicly and viciously like that.

Sanctuary, Sofia Glass, 100k Fantasy Romance

Pitch: To protect her superstitious human town from a vicious faerie beast, a reclusive, half-fae huntress embarks on a deadly hunt that leads her to save the life of an even deadlier threat—the demon who wants her dead and can't live without her.

Excerpts: The bones were organized with care in a grotesque bouquet. This thing was toying with me, trying to instill terror before it struck again. Crimson dripped from my fingers as I made my way down the hill, leaving a sparse trail from the bloody cursive that roughly translated to ‘bite me.’ "Whoever—whatever you are, you bleed, just like me.” Skimming the top shelf, my eye caught on something glittering. Gold text on a green background said, ‘Rare Faeries and How to Survive Them’

One dark window x Skyrim Dark atmosphere, lots of banter. What if you could melt a frost troll?

Safety is a long walk on the edge of a knife. It's a balance Azeria Morgan will do anything to maintain—even if that means cooperating with the demon who knows more than he'll say.

Transforming a scene via tracking the circumstances that create internal and external pressures on its characters (based on setting, other characters, physical states, past experiences, etc) in whatever medium can take a generic scene and make it specific and impactful.

We achieve some of it by narrative design resonance. That is, cohesive narrative choices across all aspects of the game that feel specific, deliberate, and consistent, but it won't do all the work if your moments still end up not feeling specific enough to the experience the player is having.

Narrative specificity is challenging in games that have any sort of player agency, as it should be, but a lack of it is I think one of the things that make people categorize game writing as "not good." Resonance is tied to specificity, and resonance is what makes you feel something.

This is an greatessay, and I felt very seen in my 'guess and check' style revision process.

But also this section had me bouncing in my chair because it reminds me of a lecture I have drafted on games state systems as fundamentally driving toward a sense of narrative specificity.

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.”

They pulled a Target.

I'm impressed you manage to keep many to the blow out stage. I have gotten there but it doesn't happen often.

People with long hair:

Where have you eventually found large accumulations of all the hair ties you go through?

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says “When you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work
