in the tags describe your ttrpg character's backstory as badly as possible in one sentence. i'll start: local woman who has lived next to the ocean her entire life sees an extra tall wave one time and immediately decides to become an anarchist nun.

#local Gay gets really into civil engineering to deal with his anxiety and trauma

eebie

girls love him for his poor posture and pathetic demeanor

It’s shitty because pterodactyls weren’t dinosaurs.

politijohn

Not sure who knows this already but 6 months ago, Denver started having mental health professionals respond to mental health incidents instead of police. Some early data:

0 arrests were made among 748 incidents

41% of people were taken to a shelter or hospital

0 incidents were violent

6x a day, police were freed up to work on more serious criminal activity

“Defund the police” materializes through progressive steps like this. We need to pressure more law enforcement agencies to follow suit.

clairewillett: the unearned guilt fans put themselves through in the "separating art from artist" conversation makes me so sad // the problem isn't that Buffy meant something to you; it's how your love was used, by both Whedon & the system enabling him, to ensure he kept getting free passes.

jonrog1: Excellent point, not to mention TV shows and movies are *collaborative endeavors*. There are a shitload of other people's words, camera setups, and performance choices you have a relationship with, not just one person's vision. Don't let someone retroactively cancel your joy. (12 Feb. 21)

jonrog1: Despite the argument of several showrunners, auteur theory, at least in television, is very hard to justify and when it is, often leaves a nightmare trail of damage behind it. (12 Feb. 21)

jonrog1: I have absolutely, positively failed other people during my career, and I would hate for you to stop loving characters ands stories other people put their heart and soul into because of one asshole, even if that asshole is me. (12 Feb. 21)

jonrog1: We could do a hundred tweet thread about everything I've ever done that people (sometimes inexplicably) love where I point out how that thing you love was the result of someone else's choice. (12 Feb. 21)

heartfeelers

why is no one ever talking about the Graveyard seamount complex??

these underwater volcanoes have the best names ever are u kidding me?? tag urself i’m ghoul

goronpaladin

I’ve actually been on an expedition to study seamounts like this! Basically, the lead scientist just gets to name them whatever they want. In our case, my advisor and her co-PI’s named them after their kids and pets.

So for these seamounts we get to thank whatever cool goth scientist was leading the research cruise that first studied them!

mushroom synths

antique-scarecrow

I love it someone please explain wtf I just watched

in-alis-victoriae

@national-shitpost-registry This is a modular synth! Basically an instrument that works with voltage that you can control in order to generate and modulate different parameters to create sound, logic and, eventually, music. Here what is happening is that the mushroom is controlling the voltage thanks to the pin. By doing that, all the parameters connected to the mushroom went crazy, probably because it generates a really weird voltage and in a very random way. You can check a youtuber called Andrew Huang and his music and also Omri Cohen to learn how to do it yourself with a freeware called VCV Rack!

mycoculture

The electricity generated by the mushrooms has to do with the hyphae, the ‘roots’ of the mushroom, that make up the organism! The ends of the hyphae contain potassium ions that the mushroom uses to send electric pulses across its mycelium! It’s theorised that this is how distant parts of a mushroom ‘know’ what’s happening to each other!

anarcho-smarmyism

in the new COD you can be nonbinary in the CIA and when u meet Ronald Reagan he respects your pronouns. i dont know how to process this information at all

catgirlforeskin

Reagan let the AIDs epidemic kill an entire generation of queer people because he was too busy practicing the right pronouns for his non-binary CIA agent

anarcho-smarmyism

he didnt do anything about AIDS cause he was too busy reading critical gender theory
