I am both an American and a Cultural Anthropologist who specializes in semiotics and religion.

I do not understand what is going on in this flag.

At all.

Have you seen our video? The three editors discuss what the project means to them, and why writing fantastic fiction in the face of erasure is defiance. Plus, turn on or switch between captions by selecting English or ัƒะบั€ะฐั—ะฝััŒะบะฐ. We hope you'll give it a look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/att...

i want to be abundantly clear that this dog is adorable. i also like to assume the gender of dogs so let's go with she/her on this one. She is a very good girl, and clearly the most valued employee at the pet store where she works. She has her front paws up on the counter with a credit card reader in front of her. She is ready to take your payment. i swear to god she's giving a little grin, like "yeah bitch, i know how to participate in capitalism too, you fool."

A sign that shows a bear and a human hand apparently dropping food in front of it. But it looks like the hand is rolling 4d6. There is a red circle with a slash around the whole thing, indicating that you should not do it.

No playing D&D with the bears.
