Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.

A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information

my tip that I'm sure many writers will find objectionable:

TV Tropes is a great resource. It's just a catalogue/dictionary! Tropes are not bad, they are human creative tools; relatable story hooks. If you're stuck writing something, find other examples of similar tropes, and see what they did!

A 2-page spread from Ride or Die, showing a synopsis of the system for Heists. The art depicts a crew of Drivers pulling off a heist on a moving train at night, while fighting the cops. One car is descending via parachute and another is driving full tilt across the top of the train cars. Other characters are embroiled in a gunfight.

Ride or Die is pretty minimalist in its rules, so I'm going maximalist in presentation. Having way too much fun. :)

Every image I’ve seen from this game has been gorgeous! And I love the color palette you’ve been using. Also, the Fork mechanic seems fun

New over here so introducing myself with some commentary on Artemis II!

Threatening the destruction of "a whole civilization" is just explicitly a threat of genocide. Even if it is just a bargaining tactic, even if it is just bluster, it is a threat of genocide. Everyone who has furthered, and continues to further, the aims of this regime is morally culpable.

Anyway I spend a lot of time here talking about the immense harms being done by the US government & about why we should have healthcare & basic income & public transit & education. I wish those were things the govt wanted to do.
Also, I'm glad when they support some amazing things in science & space

The problems with US government spending priorities are vast and extremely depressing/enraging much of the time. I desperately wish much more was spent on improving people's lives directly, and much less on war. Science spending just isn't really part of that particular equation.

It's frequently pointed out that NASA activities (and basic/exploratory science in general) have a fantastic return on investment, contributing far more to the economy than they take. But even if they didn't, no one's actually taking from the "cure sick people" pot to put money in the "rockets" pot.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.

#transdayofvisibility Being nonbinary trans masc of gender & a Femme Dyke in a world that tries to wash the politics out the word Queer and erase historical Lesbian identities is not easy, but at the same time being myself is the easiest thing in the world! Trans, always have been, always will be.

my favorite thing about this hellboy sequence is it works no matter which order you put the panels in. while i was making this i had to go back and check what the original was several times

Panel 1: fish man asks, “is that a monkey?” Panel 2: hellboy yells, “HES GOT A GUN!” Panel 3: a monkey shoots a gun

Would like to remind everyone of the best sequence of panels of all time
