Hey folks, an acquaintance of mine is still looking for funds to help cover some of the cost of medical treatment for gender dysphoria. If you’ve got a few bucks, she’d appreciate it. gf.me/u/x9927g

#microfiction, CW: Food 

The diner had the stillness of an evening silence hanging over it, excepting for the visible tension in the conversation amongst the four kobolds sharing a booth.
"You see, if we overlap the fractions of six and four just so, we can get more variations of toppings across the slices of eighths..", the green kobold noting the arrangement of mushroom, olives, and pineapple across the pizza diagram he'd produced.
The blue and purple kobold seemed reasonably placated, once each had confirmed that particular combinations would be available.
With the long sigh of frustration, the red kobold repeated his explanation, "It's rude to ask for anything more complicated than half of one and half another; diagrams make no change to this.", motioning towards the kitchen, "There's cooks in there, remember."

A less obvious advantage of being a dragon is that all your friends tend to end up being the sort of people who'd want to be friends with a dragon.

"Work" is defined as an activity directed towards a goal

I'd say "play" is the opposite of that - any activity that you do for the sake of the activity itself, without aiming towards a "goal"

We have this idea that work is for adults, play is for kids. As we grow up, we turn everything into a goal-directed activity.

We play a sport to win, or to stay healthy. We draw to create something beautiful. We cook to make food. We climb an obstacle to get to the other side. We read a book to finish it. We watch a movie in the evening to relax, and then are confused when we can't.

Capitalism brainwashes you into thinking that you've grown out of playing. It wants you to think that you can't possibly enjoy an activity for its own sake anymore, so you need an "incentive"

Don't fall for it, and play as often as you can

kobold content 

a tiny kobold sneaks up on a sleeping dragon's lair, treading carefully through the hoard, clearly with the intent of steali- oh

nevermind, they just give the dragon a very small peck on the cheek and then leave just as stealthily for some reason

I wonder how much time and effort and trouble it would be to set up a member-owned co-op Patreon-type site. Pay artists and not venture capitalists.

Why the fuck are my toes so short and puny? I can't grip on to anything properly with these dinky things.

These two taken together: be careful out there. Keep covered up. Say nothing useful to the authorities.

UK Black Pride celebrates its 15th birthday 

"On Sunday, August 16th 2020 UK Black Pride will turn 15 and to celebrate we’ll be hosting a day of celebrations live streamed, including performances, live DJ sessions and speakers; alongside a series of virtual rooms hosted by our partners within the community.

When Lady Phyll and a busload of Black lesbians traveled to Southend-on-Sea in 2005 for the first UK Black Pride, no one could have imagined just how big this safe and brave space would grow.

UK Black Pride has become Europe’s largest celebration for LGBTQ people of African, Asian, Caribbean, Middle Eastern and Latin American descent, but more than that, UK Black Pride is also a movement. We deserve spaces to call our own, where we can celebrate who we are safely. We deserve to be surrounded by people who love us, who understand us and who want to see us win. We deserve moments in which we can breathe, relax, let our hair down, where we don’t have to worry about explaining our existence to others. We deserve to find joy publicly, loudly and with abandon."

The National Lawyer's Guild has set up a new federal defense hotline, specifically for lawyers and activists (like you!) to report incidents of "federal repression" - for instance, door-knocks, subpoenas, and other "federal enforcement efforts to undermine civil rights".

Eventually the comet became visible.
From this vantage point I could see it a lot better, but it was still more dim to my eyes than shooting stars.
