Comments on this cute railway's new mascot are exactly what you'd expect.

My first baby, Harrow: The Blighted Plane, will scratch #ttrpg itches you didn't even know you had.

Customize a sandship with your friends. Explore a ten-minute-old island from another plane. Meet the owner of a brothel with no face/every face. Get swarmed by spiked toads. Become a mutant. Be free.

it is weird to know the peak of success as a content creator is "many brand deals and a podcast with multiple advertisers" while I was taught in journalism school how some reporters do not drink coffee at press events to avoid conflicts of interests

As long as I have been publicly online, I notice how we all collectively need to just let each other be flawed and make mistakes. I appreciate Olivia opening up and being vulnerable, and we could all use a reminder that there are still humans behind the keyboard.

Playlist character design commission!
You provide me a short playlist (Spotify preferred; YouTube playlist also ok) of 5-10 songs and a name/gender/one sentence vibes-based description, and based solely on the music as I listen to it, I'll design a character for you!
Example: Zharic (he/they; trans masculine); concept: a run-down now-exiled prince of shadows who's a rather wet cat of a man aching to prove himself
Ideally your one-sentence description does
NOT include any physical descriptors (like hair color, species, etc) because those will be decided by my interpretation of the music

Hello everybody. My name is Olivia, I am the social media coordinator for MCG, and I have made a very silly, embarrassing mistake.

Our team has been busy getting ready for GAMA (among some personal issues that have left the Kansas crew a bit scattered), and (1/5)

Tbh I’m annoyed that so much of the sexism targeted towards my candidacy is about painting me as an influencer rather than a journalist.

It COMPLETELY erases my bartending career.
