Disturbing to me that they feel we can dismiss genocide for the sake of two nights of mediocre music.

In contrast, here's a list of folks to be embarrassed by.

Definitely how it should be!

(But adding, of course, that's different too in GM vs GMless games and when seeking end-of-session/game feedback)

It's a good system! Personally, I don't use wishes because it can (not always!) put a bit more pressure on the GM, but I think that's group dependent as well :))

Props to Arana for compassion and empathy and cheering Jack up! Props to Curious and Jack for settling the dream awkwardness peacefully! 😛 Props to Curious for developing ice skating proficiency!

You can say them out loud or write 'em! For example last night:

Something nice to do at the end of your TTRPG seshs (goes by a few names, we use "props"). We give props to each other for standout moments at the end of DND seshs and it just makes for a much nicer ending regardless of what happened.

Thank your fellow players! Thank your GMs! Give people "props" 🥰

Lot of fun to bring together. Game jams are good craic!

From the Ground Up by Úna-Minh Kavanagh A narrative-driven game about everything above ground.

Love narrative-driven games? Games that you can complete in less than 30 minutes? Plants? Irish made? Games that you don't even need to download?!

Then I think you'd like From the Ground Up, a game I made in 7 days about living and beyond.

I'm in! Thrilled to be a Limit Break Mentee in the 2026 cohort.

This year has already been rough, as I once again found myself searching for work. Looking forward to connecting with new folks and hopefully gaining a mentor too.

Grateful for the opportunity @limitbreak.co.uk 🙏 #gamedev

Israel escalates attacks on medics in Lebanon with deadly ‘quadruple tap’ Lebanese health ministry says killing of 91 healthcare workers shows ‘total disregard’ for international law

It's a war crime to kill medics. So this is four war crimes.

The Geneva Conventions say it's a war crime even if these are military medics (the report says some were affiliated with Hezbollah). Killing the enemy would presumably be Israel's defense, and what it has used in Gaza,

I'll be in Honolulu next Thursday to do events and speak at 'Iolani School as their Keables Scholar. I'll give a talk (most likely on living inside empire during a time of perpetual war) and take questions beginning at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Don't miss it!

Great. Hopefully they're all accurate.

I would be concerned about the licensing as it doesn't appear to be fully licensed as of right now (it's not in Creative Commons, so worth reaching out to the appropriate parties. Better to be safe than do all the work and find it not usable.

Nah Úna is def not a nickname since it's an entirely separate name. BUT I do use Úna sometimes to protect myself as I've a more public facing persona. But I do my introduction and don't let them assume.

I'm used to people making the mistake in general so I just correct people.

Oh, actually, I've been in touch with friends, and they've already left feedback on the project. Not sure if it was taken into account.

My grandad was 11 years old during the 1926 census. He was a native Irish speaker. Sharing this vid again of him reading my story (from my mom's diaries!) in the #Irishlanguage. Irish subtitles only. All of them were inputted manually by me and not generated by an AI.

It is silent if it was the Southern dialect but I was born in the North :) So that's another presumption worth clarifying if you come across another person with Vietnamese heritage!

Just a wee reminder to folks that my first name is Úna-Minh, NOT Úna. It's a common mistake. There's a hyphen there for a reason.

It's pronounced as Oona-Ming (yes, it's a 'g-ish' sound!)

I don't know of any summaries but perhaps @silmeth.mstdn.social.ap.brid.gy / @erisceres.bsky.social / @davissandefur.bsky.social may be able to help.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS! Very cool!!

✨English = Colonialism ✨

The youngest children ONLY spoke Irish as they weren't at school yet. My grandad was just 11 at the time too.

It's very cool, the household breakdown shows who in the household speaks Irish and English. #irish #ireland

FOUND HIM whooooooooo!

trying to find my grandad in the 1926 census is like well... what I just said

I am haunted by two facts:

1. My birth mother doesn't know I'm alive.
2. I don't know if my birth mother is alive.

This looks great! Love the range of contributors. Going into our window beside @mackeza.bsky.social

Whooo exciting :D
