Also I guarantee lots of people know sex workers in their social circles who just 100% are not gonna disclose that part of their life around them lmao. Ppl should be kind to swers bc it's basic decency but also bc otherwise they're absolutely disrespecting someone they know without even realizing it

The End of Comics History may Finally be Coming to an End: O.F. Stapledon Reviews Derek M. Ballard’s CARTOONSHOW - SOLRAD The End of Comics History may Finally be Coming to an End: O.F. Stapledon Reviews Derek M. Ballard’s CARTOONSHOW

plz consider buying my big book, CARTOONSHOW from @oni-press.bsky.social. Here's one of my favorite reviews: solrad.co/the-end-of-c...

Content creation in general takes a lotta emotional stamina that I think people are kinda unprepared for. You’re gonna have some 0-viewer streams and you’re gonna have to learn to tank that. Believe it or not, persevering through a lack of feedback actually makes you a better artist/content creator

The wizards of the Seven-Part Pact are rarely prudent, in my experience. Even a seemingly benign spell like Mending can create enormous trouble in their hands, as this unfortunate soldier tells us.

It’s important to remember that billionaires are parasites with a vested interest in persuading you they are predators.

carrie: =SIGH= in another lifetime...d'ya think we could've...made it work lyd: oh, I dunno...=TEEHEE= you're so much fun to break up with, I'd probably keep doing it for shits 'n' gigs ♥︎ carrie: that's a rather fucked-up thing to say

I will speak of this bit for generations.

HELLO??? WELCOME TO THE TEAM, FRITZI

at least theyre courteous enough to give you a heads up

In her review of Piketty, McCloskey points out that the Latin root of data is "things given," but that the documentation Piketty is working with, primarily tax records, is more accurately a reflection of "things seized." That is, not data, but capta. I want to détourné McCloskey's point to argue that capta is the appropriate title for the currencies of technofeudalism.? It is an economy which is growing increasingly inefficient, coercive, and authoritarian because the economic process it glorifies is not one of mutual consent to market exchange, but of non-consensual seizure of attention, identity, and future potential.

I’ve been trying to use capta consistently, where appropriate, and have been pleased to find, for many, no explanation is needed. It is very intuitive, as disciplinary jargon should be.

i keep seeing writers who want both:
* to be bold iconoclasts going against the pretenses and trends of the day and
* to have a perfect 5.0 review score on goodreads

and like, I'm sorry. those things don't go together.

this is my game, I Don’t Remember When I Started Killing Bugs Again. to play, you log it every time you kill an insect. this is also available as a web app @transwron.gs made with me. people tell me it changed their behavior- they think twice about hurting insects when they remember the rules.

follow her bluesky and go through her media tab, probably! idk @nonblnary.bsky.social is there a better place to find yr stuff consolidated?

Draw Maps, Leave Blanks (Dungeon World) with Tim Denee — Dice Exploder How detailed of maps, and how big of blanks?

This week on Dice Exploder I've got @olddog.games on talking Blades '68, Dungeon World, and "draw maps leave blanks". How much should you define about your game in advance - as a player, as a GM, as a designer? Tim's smart!

your game is a game :) im not saying simulations arent games, im talking about a different phenomenon

this happens when youre grocery shopping too

yeah this is basically what i say in the blogpost. its not very long, i'd recommend reading it!

it would be dragon's razor , which in a games context sounds more like a magic item than a philosophical tool

there's a difference between activities that can be games and activities that are games :) i talk about this in the blogpost

LMAO wow

I'm a philosopher and I approve this message

If I may: at 17 I wasn't indoctrinated to join the military, but I did suffer from generational trauma and all sorts of grief, by growing up in a family that was deeply affected by a right wing coup backed by the US government. Do I also get some sympathy and understanding for my personal biases?

on patreon but available to everyone because i'm generous and nice :)

i keep getting into (enjoyable and fun) arguments about the nature of games that can run the risk of getting lost in the sauce with overly broad definitions, so i invented a lil logic tool
