Happy book birthday to this very good and safe book that will not make you do anything horrible at all! From the brilliant mind of @jonnysims.bsky.social and @rustyquill.com !
Did I mention how safe it was
Ah, that old standby of channeling by work stress and despair into Changeling: the Lost antagonists.

literally why would you use AI art when you could scroll through open source paintings from museums and find a cool art for your thing AND also look at million funny pictures of extremely bored people sitting for portraits
I'm freelancing as I job search; 4k is coming for a contract, but it won't arrive until late November.
This has me $900 short of making rent (my priority; there's no grace period). COBRA's another $1600.
I'm down to my last option—early withdrawal on an insurance policy—and 🙏 it processes in time.
...Finn's perspective, but sadly we don't revisit this (so many plot threads vying for attention). Then when TLJ tried to focus on a singular concept, that got non-stop derailed too. By the time of TROS, we're stuck in a nonsensical callback-heavy tropey mess *ugh*. Finn deserved so much better! 💔
The problem there's that TFA set up many genuinely interesting concepts that it just drops the ball on immediately in favour of nostalgia callbacks. Was legit psyched to think we might get a nuanced look -in the core movies- at what it's like to break out of Imperial/First Order brainwashing from...
Still furious that The Force Awakens went “hey guys stormtroopers are people too, they bleed too, in fact they’re basically an army of abducted children OKAY NEVER MIND MOVING ON”
As I've said before, it's only once I became a professor that I realized the entmoot, a meeting that goes on for three days and three nights, was a professor's joke about faculty meetings.
So you know what ultimate started moving the needle for me way from gender bioessentialism? Wrath of the Righteous. Not the video game, the Pathfinder 1e adventure path. The Tirablade’s story drove home so much.
That right there is the power of gaming.
I would prefer to play and read games that challenged my viewpoints and made me uncomfortable. I learn so much from experiencing games through other folks perspectives.
Games like @wittlegoblin.bsky.social Mantis, @worldchamp.bsky.social Hole in My Head and Digital Angel by @sandroad.moe excite me
Morning, friends! My nephew got himself in a bind and I'm trying to help him out. If you can spare a coffee it's much appreciated. But I've also made my Community Support Editing unlimited so anyone who wants to can hire me to edit their work. ko-fi.com/brentdorklor...
D&D and Studio X will be holding our election on November 10th! Our workers will vote on whether to form our unions and put more power in the hands of our workers.
Gonna do something different. Going to run some old-school Pathfinder, but I’m going to run it with Mazes Fantasy Roleplaying to see how conversion goes.
Why? Way easier to run a solo game and wangle multiple characters this way.

What am I running? Risen from the Sands.
Who are my characters?
Bonecracker, a gnoll mercenary from Katapeshi who left their clan for unspecified reasons. Plays as the Fighter (d8).
wisp (lower caps intentional), a Fetchling tomb raider from Geb researching undead tombs. Is a Sentinel (d10)
My first 5 TTRPGs, in approximately the order I played them:
1. D&D 3e
2. Rogue Trader (and its ilk)
3. Promethean: the Created (and nWoD)
4. Pathfinder (and Starfinder)
5. Scion 2e
Yes, if you know how and when I cam to play Scion, I only started branching out my games comparatively recently.
My first 5 TTRPGs, in approximately the order I played them:
1. Fate: Accelerated
2. Dungeons and Dragons (5th edition)
3. The Dark Eye
4. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay (2nd edition)
5. Magical Kitties Save the Day
there's a whole half of the galaxy that sees Palpatine as little more than the latest Xim the Despot in an unimpressive chain of human tyrants and i think that's interesting, y'know?
if you gave me the Star Wars license and an infinite budget i'd make an anthology series of fake Holonet programs but if you were dumb enough to give me a second chance i'd make something trying to rehabilitate Hutt space into feeling more like a rival to the Republic with millennia of history
OKAY I finally got around to x-ing 'take proof photo' off my to-do list for my Reddit AMA on October 27 -- if you wanna, join me on r/TheMagnusArchives and pick my brains about whatever you want! :D

Some additional context from someone who gets regular emails from the NDP, one of their major talking points right now is about the federal government inviting big American companies to invest in or buy out Canadian companies and public institutions, so this is timely and on message for them

this is fucking appalling. i already knew james dolan (who owns the knicks and madison square garden) was a douche but this is next-level. www.nytimes.com/athletic/771...
This is *exactly* why I had the exact fucking opposite reaction everyone thought I would have when CB announced their “dire wolves.”
I studied biotechnology in uni. It has incredible applications and I’m all in on them.
This. Is. Not. One. This is horror.

Bob Fife on Danielle Smith telling separatists in the UCP to find another home: "Why didn't she say that at the beginning? This is somebody who has fed them, nurtured them and accommodated them, and now they're coming for her."
Sylvestre is addressing APP supporters on Zoom rn. He says that Tanya Clemens and Chris Scott, who are aren't board members, are falsely claiming that they fired Sylvestre and Rath last month.
It's also very telling that Smith hasn't had much to do with the referendum at all (not even post-vote), and it's been Kenney up front and center.
The party is absolutely going to oust Smith IMO.
Great piece on GenAI in education by a current student.
I continue to believe there are many students who feel this way even if they don’t articulate that position as clearly as Naishu does.
This piece by student journalist Naishu Vempali made me pump my fist in solidarity. I hope when I’m back teaching at UMass next year they take a class with me, where they can expect nothing but top quality human-grade feedback, interaction, and attention.

If we’re going to do, let’s do it. The knives are coming out.
But my man, if you think anyone’s *remotely* progressive in the UCP, I have news for you about all of us who will be eating popcorn on the sidelines.
“I won’t be the guy that splits the right. I will not come up with a new party. If the progressives want to leave the UCP, they’re very welcome to do it. We’re not going anywhere.”
Mitch Sylvestre says Smith’s UCP leadership at risk if she wont back secession push

@lunagrayhorror.bsky.social joins us at SH to think about Premee Mohamed’s entry into the Magnus Archives.
“Tie-in fiction usually means a guided tour of familiar rooms. Mohamed reconsiders the source instead.”
