Man, I really love playing gnomes in Dungeons and Dragons. <3 I'm always surprised and bummed when people shit on them so hard because they're just awesome.
Wimblyvort, my Arcane Trickster Rogue, is one of my favorite characters in a while. <3
Learning how to relace my shoes so they fit my feet better feels like such a basic, small lifehack but....oh my goodness does it make a difference.

I feel this so profoundly. And by "past couple years" I mean going back to the start of the Trump admin. https://twitter.com/SketchesbyBoze/status/1530658941595680776

Ya know how if you want to bring Tinkerbell back from the dead you gotta clap your hands?
Same for me except it's ass cheeks. The first thing I want to see upon rising from the dead is a bunch of y'all in a circle around me clapping those cheeks with all of your might.

3. The UN continues to call for yet more economic growth whilst simultaneously releasing reports by scientists saying we must now consider moving away from GDP/growth to stop the annihilation of species and habitat.
We're in an Extinction Economy.

I think I've entered the vivid dream stage of my t-break. Had this intense dream about my childhood home, a cathartic day with my mom, a hornet's nest on our back door, our basement redone into a gaming den, and the 2nd floor apt running a pop-up kithcen

So thanks for all the response to the Lackey/Nixon thing, it's given me a lot to think about and it's also clear there's a lot of history here that I'm not aware of.
I'm going to do a bit more learning and research on this, and reflect. Be kind out there, folks. <3
A good thread regarding Mercedes Lackey. As someone else said, there is a huge difference between an ally making a mistake and an enemy using a slur. We can teach our allies without traumatizing them.

It’s so important to keep reaching for people who have different perspectives and beliefs with acceptance and respect. Being in a community requires this kind of patience. It honestly makes the world a wider, friendlier place.
One of the things I’m learning so far on this trip is that people can hold different views and still be open, warm, generous and fun. I’ve talked to a few folks who would be outright dismissed on Twitter but we found common ground easily face to face.
Like, I really hate confrontation, especially knowing it won’t lead anywhere positive. But at some point you just have to speak up and stop pretending the language someone is using is OK. And I’m there.
I don’t want to do that, but at some point I have to recognize the contact is damaging MY mental health. I just really really really wish people could take a breath and learn how to handle disagreement.
