Things I've done for Full Send that I've never done for anyone or amything else: made my own poetry translations

It's deeply embarassing for any institution to cave to this kind of pressure. The idea that the term ancient Palestine is in any way wrong is just unscientific and ideological.

As someone who haa unfortunately had to work alongside Israeli archaeologists before I can tell you that institutional goal of Israeli archaelogy is not to find out about the past, but to fabricate falsehoods which support the myth of a land without a people.

'Erasing history': British Museum criticised for removing references to ‘Palestine' from exhibits Museum bows to pressure from pro-Israel group to remove the term ‘Palestine’, a move scholars and activists say is part of a ‘systematic’ attack on Palestinian cultural identity

The ideological mission of Zionism is not only to destroy Palestine but to erase the idea that there ever was a Palestine. Israeli archaeologists actively enable the seizure of Palestinian land by declaring new "conservation sites" in order to militarise them.

Green is an ugly colour on some of you I have to say

Cover image of To Honour and Obey. A woman looks warily at the viewer with a golden crown and gold cup.

I’m really bad at playing solo journaling games but have found that you can have just as much fun with them simply by playing them as 2-player games with another person you vibe with.

This evening I played To Honour and Obey by @laurieoc.bsky.social with my friend Catherine, and it was great!

Happy IPR royalties day everyone!

Happy Monday.
Shipping prices on my website are going up on 01/02

I've been keeping them artificially low for a year now, they will still be lower than what it actually costs but their current level is untenable.

Feel free to pick something up today at the lower rate at twelvepinspress.com

It'll be a short A5 zine, 16-20 pages, most likely hand bound depenfing on order Q. I'll be donating a big chunk of proceeeds to organisations campaigning to end US military intervention in Venezuela. Unsure how to charge for it so lmk what you'd pay

Illustrations feature a journalist with an infamous scarf and a woman with a cool jacket posing before a wall of numbers

Publishing a short physical collection of my "political" games (this game does not condone murder, regime change super soldiers, and some unpublished games like High Score) to raise money for Hands Off Venezuela. Illustrated by the fantastic @hodagrpg.bsky.social DM/comment if interested

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

"There are decades where nothing happens that you can make a slightly overly didactic satirical one page rpg about, then there are weeks where you can make hundreds of politically indulgent didactic one page RPGs" Lenin

As usual if u like them, repost them because bluesky hides stuff

This one is a satire but unironically would be fun to play. i mean who doesnt want to _ the usa

this is a one page rpg entitled regime change super soldiers. You are state-engineered super-soldiers from a morally impeccable foreign power. You have been deployed to the world’s largest rogue state, the United States of America, to perform a humanitarian extraction of the President, who must be taken alive to face criminal charges back home. Players: Create a Character. They should have a bombastic name, an absurdly strong power and an ideological justification. Example Names: The Human Shield, Johnny Nukes, Project Necessary Evil, Marshal Democracy Example Powers: Can punch holes into the future, can fire precision strikes that hit everything within three miles, can instantly declare anything a “military-aged male”, can reroute international supply chains instantly. You also have three STATS: POWER: raw force, explosions. AUTHORITY: legality, consensus. IMAGE: optics, media, vibes. Assign 3,2,1 to these stats. GM: Create the President. They are: extremely protected, constantly moving, definitely not resigning. Beyond that you can choose which real US President from the last two decades you pick. Change vibes/era of game to match. Pick which American city they start in. Performing Actions: Every action has two features: it is cool and media-worthy and it causes untold destruction. To carry out an action: 1.Stand up (optional). 2. Announce the cool and media-worthy part of your action, for example: “I surgically neutralise hostile forces with my precision strikes” 3. Secretly write down the untold destruction caused by your action and hand it to the GM. Be specific and cruel. For example: “I level a whole district of LA including six schools and a hospital.” 4. Remove one point from the relevant stat. GM: Write down the names of locations which must be destroyed before the President can actually be captured. Keep adding decoys, obstacles and opportunities for destruction until you are satisfied that the conditions for regime change have been achieved.
