In gerrymandered states like Ohio, where legislators are no longer under natural pressure to remain electable, it becomes easier for bills to become law that undermine the common good. trib.al/RyqgZhZ
My god. There is such a connection between gut health and depression/mood.
True! I hope you go! And don’t let me spoil PGH. It’s great. I consider it my hometown now. And it has a vibrant F/SF scene and a great SF convention, Confluence!
So I should amend my statement. PA is wonderful. I was near suicidal b/c PGH had no sun for like 55 days or something and SADS is real. PGH and PA are great. Ohio sucks. I was raised & lived half my life in Indiana. I would never live there now, but growing up there was...okay. Not great. Just ok.
Ohio is easily the worst state I've ever lived in. And I was near suicidal while in Pennsylvania, so...
Ohio will be more authoritarian than many actual authoritarian countries. If you are in Ohio, leave. If you aren't in Ohio, dodge it. If you are in Ohio and can't leave, resist.

Hi this joke is for me
the only thing i love more than dog shit pasta sauce is speaking directly into a wiretap as i eat dog shit pasta sauce
Can the good geeks please take back their nerdom and reclaim Tolkien's vocabulary for non-evil means, please?
Also, how tone deaf is this shit?
Who, Continued: You might think to yourself: but what about all my friends?T o which I retort, of course, and without hesitation: who needs them! Do you imagine that your friends will be there for you when the sun extinguishes itselfand this world ceases to exist, as it is wont to do? Will your friends be there when the pillars turn to dust and the horsemen return totown? Life is not a popularity contest. Don't kid yourself, kid. You'reflying solo in these games, just like you've always been and always will be.
Reading one of the first solo rpg books, and the introduction goes HARD:
When/where is this available?!
Quite literally Nazi propaganda.
a black and white design that reads "you could learn a lot from a lesbian." to the right of the text are various items such as carabiners, a boot, a lollipop, a hammer, a boot, an apple, a lighter, cherries, a bouquet of flowers, a butterfly wing, and many stars. the entire image is textured to be grainy.
happy #lesbianvisibilityweek!
Sword & Sorcery is when the soft animal of your body has to slay a fucking necromancer.
Be honest: would you rather have a cure for cancer? Or a machine that can’t add and gets recipes wrong?
Discworld too. Mainlining Granny Weatherwax will make you into a good person.
I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.
Among the many should-immediately-end-this-presidency daily scandals is the fact that the current administration is dismantling research on the most incredible new scientific advance in the last several decades. Literally killing people.
The point is to inhabit the characters, no? It seems like a waste to let the GM do everything.
The more I listen to actual play rpg podcasts or shows, I’m starting to understand the stark difference between “role playing” and merely nodding one’s head to everything the GM says. “Yup, I do that.“ Or responding to everything, “Cool,” “Sounds good.”
*sadly strikes that idea off the page*
This is a trick. ALL conference rooms have the most threatening aura. They're all part of the same vast conference room. They're like a rhizome. They grow like mushrooms.
I just bought Vaesen yesterday! Excited to run it. Interested what you’ll think of it.
Well now I wanna know what yr design would be...
I mean, statistically, I'm going with yes. Warms my heart.
Do you feel comfortable enough to tell him to do his share of the fucking work?
The cover is lovely, too. I know that might not be a popular opinion. But I like that style.
Isn't everything in this picture gay?
