A graphic which is on a white background. It has a tan colored banner at the top that has brown text on it that says: “a brief primer on some popular authors and their red flags” Underneath that are three graphic images, two red flags pointed toward the center of the image and in the center is a graphic of an open book with flowers coming out of it.

alright i posted this over on instagram but decided to cross post it here - a brief primer on primer on some popular authors and their red flags

So, this Unbound/Boundless fiasco. I was going to be polite about it, but after this morning’s email: no

"Nations, Nationalisms, & Indigenas: The 'Indian' in the Chicano Revolutionary Imaginary" by Lourdes Alberto (Zapoteca) which offers a straightforward & cohesive picture of systems of Indigenous erasure in so-called US & MX

digital drawing in progress of the Risen Christ as a brown trans man with golden rays of light bursting from top surgery scars. He holds a trans flag in one hand instead of the conventional red and white cross banner.

wip? happy easter to those who celebrate

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace.

MALAN Fire & Wind Storm Resources

An LA organizer I trust shared this General Resource Spreadsheet with me. It includes nonofficial shelters and other resources for people affected by the LA fires.

instagram post from ktownforall. While not in the direct path of the fire yet - Koreatown is covered in heavy smoke and we are in need of KN95 masks and will need to replace a ton of tarp and tents. Please consider donating to our Venmo at: @Ktownforall or via debit/ credit card through Paypal at https://www.paypal.com/ncp/pa yment/D8A65YA2D58EQ Every dollar will go to survival items that will be handed to someone in need.

if you’re looking for something to do to help LA, folks in ktown are going to need masks. there are lots of elderly and homeless people in that neighborhood, this organization will distribute aid! ❤️

For SoCal friends,

Here is a list of resources for shelter, animal boarding, free items, and distribution hubs. These places can also use donations (e.g., food, water, masks, and blankets). Please consider donating if you can.

I slept all day & all the way through the EZLN anniversary, but I'm gonna put together a reading list of my first reads of the year at some point today

I’m on my 10th play through btw. And yes I do have issues with certain parts of the game & critiques of the writing as a writer myself but I’m still having fun bc I appreciate it for what it is lol

Post your queen

Dragon Age 2 and Dragon Age: Origins + DLC. That would be a time off work situation.

[I also IDGAF if you don't like DA2. Not debating anyone about it. Go yell in a corner about it and not to me.]

Every time I see the fandom dismiss Davrin’s caretaker characterization i legit want to cry because it shows how a large swath of the DA fandom are unaware of how Black men have been portrayed as the deadbeat who do not know care? A mini 🧵

I’m not even going to get into the woeful mishandling of racism and colonialism in his books.

At the end of the day the issues is economics.

Buying and promoting (via social media posts) Sanderson’s books are contributing to an institution that causes real harm to the LGBTQIA2S community.

Sanderson fans who claim “he is trying to change the church from the inside” are naively deluding themselves. His PERSONAL progressive stance is afforded to him because he is a famous straight rich white man, an active member who still publicly supports the church.

He’s free recruitment propaganda.

I'm not saying you can't like Sanderson.

I am saying that for every $1 million he makes, $100,000 of it goes to an anti-LGBTQ+ conformity cult. It doesn't matter how woke he claims to be.

Heyyyy you're a few books short from completing your 2024 Goodreads challenge? Why not treating yourself to some Neon Hemlock novellas? And if you're in the mood for angry queer antifascists and Italian mythology, my own title reads super fast, so you know...perfect to reach that yearly goal ~

Man burnout can mess you up for a very long time.

And it can sneak up on you: things can seem stressful but mostly manageable until suddenly they're not manageable.

Self care and vacation are great, but they're guardrails: they don't help when you've already fallen in.

What four games best show how you spent your year?

BioWare owns my soul.

I was offline for this discourse wave but (a) obviously co-signing the revulsion and (b) entirely unsurprising that this attempt to raze the arts to the ground and colonize the desolation is from an Israeli startup

ICYMI. This is a podcast type video so if you just want something to listen to as four nerds yap about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, then give this a listen and the other three videos in the thread as well ☺️☺️

Ravenna & it’s 8 world heritage sites, all of them late Roman/Gothic

The early Christian art provides a relentlessly positive, uplifting vision - no suffering, no burning hell, not even cruxifixction is portrayed

Instead we are presented with the sheer beauty and wonder of creation. Breathtaking

One thing about me… You will never EVER catch me tryna save a yt savior, not even from themselves. Thus, imma hit Solas in his teeth every damn time 😂 #datvspoilers #veilguardspoilers

since treviso is a real city in Italy, i want to show you how lucanis, viago and the others should be speaking actually
