my favorite part here is the sigh of defeat when the wenis song played and the contestants all take a step back to dance it its like sisyphus rolling up the boulder again
good on them for publicly apologizing for this but also the people in the replies saying "it's fine" is crazy. you are not the person who was misgendered?? this is not ur thing to dismiss??
A correction for today's newsletter: we accidentally misgendered Ally under the discussion about their character, Kristen Applebees, by using she/her pronouns rather than Ally’s they/them pronouns.
one more. i think the fact that they are consistently fucking up and lacking nuance in decisions is partially a result of their recording schedule being insane. recording an entire season in like a week means u don’t get the time to think abt ur actions before OR after
the matt mercer sidequest should be a bunch of first-time players who have absolutely no clue what they’re doing. i want a full table of raph’s energy in mice and murder
💜 a peek into the life of andhera and BINX, post-bloom
very excited to share this piece that i made for sammy-with-a-c over on tumblr for
#d20exchange2022

(details in reply)
muting this. apparently oct 19th will actually be the FIFTEENTH anniversary. so i hope u feel even older or whatever. stream macchef and the altogether’s new singles
as a trans gay man, i often feel that my sexuality can be questioned even when i state it clearly. that’s why this pride, i’m partnering with misha collins,
Macbeth (2005) (aka MacChef) is a BBC straight to tv adaptation of the classic play in which James Mcavoy plays Joe Macbeth, head chef at a Michelin three star restaurant.
i was a little girl and i’m currently a young man and i’m an oldest daughter and one day i will be a father and i will be the queer elder that i did not get to have and all of these things are deeply important to who i am
i want to see a trans person play seymour. i want to see a trans person play pippin. i want to see trans people play orpheus and eurydice. i want to see trans people on stage and NOT in a way that inherently exploits their transness. god damn.
ok i swear i don’t wanna argue w ppl who are being intentionally ignorant but this dude saying slammed down big style like it doesn’t mean raw fucking is giving me a heart attack
love is labor btw. like this person fully misunderstood the line but love IS labor. love IS work. it’s not always easy and simple to be in love with someone. but just because it’s labor doesn’t mean it’s inherently negative or joyless
I understand why that laundry and taxes line is so beloved, but I loathe it so much. Invoking the doing of chores as some laborious metaphor for love … okay well, enjoy doing the laundry and taxes yourself, I want no part of this forced domesticity in the name of romance.

not shrek but when i was a kid i watched gary come home for the first time before i was supposed to go to school and i cried so hard waiting for the bus that my dad had to bring me back inside
the thing about running a game is that you have to not only be a fan of your players but also. defend the rest of the world. in my opinion. you can "yes and" while still being true to the story YOU wanted to tell. idk idk. this isn't about anything in particular trust me
true— your mods shouldn’t be responsible for facilitating political discussions.
also true— you should be able to say the words “genocide” and “ceasefire”.
are you neutral on genocide, dropout?
are you only against colonialism when it’s fictional or hypothetical?
Dropout's statement on their reaction to "something this horrifying and devastating" and the announcement of their new no politics discord rule in its entirety btw
it doesn’t matter if kendall’s name is underlined or crossed out. what matters is the uncertainty of it and how logan can taunt his children and spark their ruin even after death
the most frustrating thing abt the fhjy shit is that i know these are capable and talented and brilliant storytellers. so where did it fall apart. genuine question
josh ruben has started posting “cis guy impressions” on tiktok that are very funny but it has led to every comment asking him if this implies that he is… not one? and he has yet to reply
TTRPG COMMUNITY:
i am writing a research paper for one of my classes about representation in actual play shows, with reference to the identities held by the gamemaster.
i've created a form for people to submit their comments regarding this topic & i'd love to hear from you!
why haven't i seen any posts abt today's sims update??? top surgery scars? binders? shapewear? hearing aids? glucose monitors? this is a big day for accessibility objects i never thought we'd get
because it’s (usually) a bunch of improv comedians, brennan rewards “yes, and”ing to an extreme degree when in fact a big part of playing ttrpgs collaboratively is being able to say no
@kindlestuck
literally people love to act like colin was gay but i know zac would say he’s straight… i’m convinced zac oyama thinks he’s not allowed to play an mlm
i love trans people i love nonbinary people i love genderqueer people i love trans women i love neopronoun users i love xenogenders i love all of these people and every trans person who doesn't fit into any of those specificities
within 40 minutes,, how many of you donate to mutual aid? how many of you have donated your time or money to the victims of active genocide? how many of you actually care about marginalized people beyond this show?

do u ever think abt how norman, whether he consciously made this decision or not, took a chance on a ragtag crew for his ship (even though he was an asshole) & then they all turned on him the second he had smth bad happen to him

i wish misfits and magic was more “let’s worldbuild an interesting new magical world” and less “haha did u know jk rowling is transphobic? anyway this is hogwarts”
hey i know tdov is over in my timezone but really quietly letting u all know that i have been slowly softlaunching he/it pronouns & i am very scared to do so for some reason but i am going to be softly visible abt it for right now. ok thanks love you bye
