If you or someone you love lives in the US and needs help accessing government services, I just found the BEST WEBSITE
https://howtogeton.wordpress.com/
This site talks about how to get disability, food assistance, medical care, affordable housing, all sorts of programs you may or may not have heard of, and how to apply, and how to appeal, and how to everything! It's great!

It's my game R-COIL, currently on sale on Steam and Itch.io

It's really very good.

tired: the white race is disappearing!

wired: whiteness is a political myth derived from crusader-era notions of christendom and adapted during the enlightenment to justify the slave trade within a framework of scientific racism, used thereafter for generations to weaponize colonizers and misdirect class conflict.

well shit. another of my editors (that's FOUR now) have had to step down.

i love them all, i really do, but now instead of gaining the FIVE we need from the applications we've received, we're actually only up ONE.

if any women-identified folks would like experience being an editor for a fucking awesome lit mag, fill out the application!

CWs are super great to encourage political action because:

- you can mention where it's happening, so you don't have to read it if you can't do anything about it, (or forward it on in case others might be able to act on it)

- you can say 'hey, here's something that you can do about it' and people can think 'oh wow, that's great, I'll take a look at this when I'm up for it'

(ie. giving context and action statements prevents apathy and makes political action messages focused instead of chaotic)

take whatever money you're giving to gargron and put it towards your favorite instances' patreon/support funds (after all, these are the folks keeping m.s's load down, AND the whole reason joinmastodon.org exists, AND the whole reason mastodon as a whole is so successful), or give those dollars directly to your marginalized fediverse frens who are struggling right now.

Sometimes I feel like not enough people appreciate what it means if I'm willing to put on pants for them

The keyboard is HELPING.

« Your quarterly reminder that unless you are a Ferengi from Star Trek, the word "female(s)" is an adjective, not a noun.

"Women" is the noun you're looking to use not "females". An adjective is used next to a noun. Ex: I am a female designer. I am a woman. We are not "females". https://t.co/Vrdk5QpoLA »

needs:

- good gas mileage

- electric? ok, but what about long-distance travel. also, no charging station in this apartment building, not sure about the neighborhood

- at least the possibility of sleeping in it

- holding off on conversion vans and class B RVs, due to cost. my dream would be to have a Roadtrek or equivalent

- open to newer models and older ones alike

I need about $400 to crack even so I can get my bills paid in July while I search for jobs. That's the minimum, not even counting the money I need to buy my antidepressants and not go on withdrawal.

I am available for employment if you need a remote graphic artist.

You can also hire me to work on commission. https://commiss.io/rhyspass (if there's something you want that's not listed, I'll come up with a rate for you)

Question: What is the best place to run play by forum/play by post genre these days? Thinking it is time to start DMing again but don't have a consistent enough schedule for a third weekly game.

Things I appreciate: Built in die roller, map support.

Republican: *punches Democrat in the face*

Dem: Hey! What the F--?!

Rep: Whoah, aren't you the party of tolerance? Shouldn't we talk about the underlying socio-economic pressures that led to me punching you in the face?

Dem: Oh, yeah, good point, I'm so glad you--

Rep: *punches Dem in face* *snickers*
