Gotta find somewhere to finish my website among that too...
Only one more week of marking to get through and then I'll be putting together some spreads for Grow Forth! I have the introduction spread, magic system, and a regional character sample
Either celebrate games as art, or drop the pretence. There’s not really a middle ground.
I've said it before and I'll say it again: Housing affordability is a gender issue!

The point of the university as a concept is that it's been here for a thousand years and meant to be here another thousand. Turning education over to producing what the market needed five years ago is never going to work well.
"I just need to finish this project" repeated across a disturbing meme involving a distressed stick figure
‘I wished for death’: Sexual violence in Israel’s prisons is an ‘organised state policy’ Palestinian testimonies reveal how sexual violence, including rape using objects and dogs, is approved by 'highest levels' of Israeli leadership
The testimony here about sexual violence by Israel against Palestinian prisoners is so beyond the pale everyone must see it.
It is so bad I can’t in good conscience share a quote other than the headline, which somehow manages to understate the horror within.

Digital colonialism:
The founder of Australian Femicide Watch says she is heartbroken over the removal of the She Matters mural in Hosier Lanen dedicated to more than 200 women who have died since January 2025.
There are a lot of writers I would like to read more of, but the moment I see "Substack" I'm like, er, well that's too bad.
If you are on Substack and wondering why, here's a primer, with some options for other platforms.

When preservation is caught in the crossfire, it’s not just libraries that lose—it’s the public’s access to history, knowledge, and truth.
The web shouldn’t disappear behind closed doors.

Yeah dude that is basically what I just said
various people dressed in knightly armour with helmets that have a large pale circle on the front where a face would be, descend a long staircase. At the top of the stairs is a grey castle with the outline of a circle drawn on the front.

Lies of P is the best Souls-like I’ve ever played. Here’s an analysis where I talk about why. youtu.be/LEJKv7pFB-E
Its such a coin toss if those same people have completely deluded themselves into thinking they're competent and are incapable of seeing our value, or if they're terrified of being made as redundant as they should be and are trying to cling onto their cushy salaries while we pick through the scraps
Tbh this can extend to so many fields - the amount of times my friends and I have been told to our faces that if we had been around 20 years ago we would have rocketed up the industry, but now we can't even get a foot in the door cuz incompetent people locked the door behind them when we were kids
The truth is that this happens at all levels of university leadership, there are countless people put in senior positions who would never get anywhere near such a position in a genuine meritocracy. The lack of accountability in the hierarchies is astonishing
You should never be afraid to ask tabletop RPG authors dumb questions about their games because that's literally how we tell whether or not what we wrote is working.
I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.
I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee
Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

Image shows cards from the famous tarot deck. These are arranged as before and after comparisons of the versions currently online versus the ones the skeet author modified. One card is shown having a missing patch of image repaired, another has a large scratch removed, a third has been skewed such that the image is rectangular, and a fourth has been colour-tinted to be more consistent with other cards.
If you enjoyed our April Fools project tarot.yarnspinner.dev you might also enjoy a nice side effect of our making that: a much-improved Public Domain version of the Rider-Waite Smith #tarot deck.
I went a bit overboard in photoshop, and now they're here for all to use: themartianlife.com/tarot
keep up the good work Estonia! Utterly flummoxed that this isn't the angle more governments are going for.
