There need to be social consequences for enacting anti-evidence policies that kill kids.

One of Danielle Smith’s staffers just called me over (??) at an event wanting to say hi.

Once I realized who she was, immediately questioned her about trans rights.

i wrote something angry again about being trans and the self-sacrificial desire to become something dangerous to defend our community from those that mean us harm. I hope it helps you to read it, like it helped to write it.

"I wish we were even half as dangerous as they say we are."

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, I particularly want to stress that the violence we talk about trans people experiencing isn't just murder or domestic abuse or assault.

There is also legislative violenceβ€”far too much of it. And we lose lives to that every year too.

The Myrmidions from Shade's Children, The River Serpent from Between Two Fires, Christopher Carrion from Abarat (cheating i guess because there was art of him in the back fold of the book), Rawhead from Books of Blood Vol 3, and The Crawler in Annihilation are ones that really stuck with me!

For my newsletter, I talked about the proposed teenage phone restrictions in the name of a murdered teenage trans girl.

Hello World. My name is Moss, and I’m a queer designer of ttrpgs and other playthings. Most of my work can be found at Brewisttabletopgames.itch.io, where I create with friends under the banner Brewist Tabletop Games. We focus on games that tackle big themes through the power of play. Check it out!

It's funny, because I think game design critique can, in fact, benefit the play experience by addressing qualities of a system and the play environment that can enhance or depreciate it.

It's just that I also feel like a lot of current play xp criticism is chasing after the phantom of "calvinball"
