We're signing up for heartbreak, We know one day we'll rue it. But oh the way our life lights up The years a dog runs through it.

There are so many people on Chris Rock's side because to them the only violent thing was the slap. They don't consider "jokes" aimed at marginalized people (in this case, Jada, and others with alopecia) as violent.

THIS is it, this is the take. Chris Rock's career is built on acts of violence against Black women, and it's about damn time someone handed him his ass.

As an autistic GM, tabletop RPGs provide a perfect structure for social interaction | Dicebreaker

Things that make life difficult for me outside of the game room often make for better sessions in it.

"Imagine you’re at a party where everyone is playing a game you don’t understand. You’re trying to parse the game’s apparently fluid rules yourself, but it’s like trying to play through a tutorial in another language. Everyone else seems to have clocked the rules, but you’re struggling to make sense of any of it.

People keep glancing at you strangely when you stumble over a particular boundary and, while you’re too confused to glean exactly how, you can tell you’re making mistakes. Even your newfound hypervigilance about those errors is, itself, an error. The resulting sensation - at least for me - can be politely described as “not pleasant”.

Imagine the relief you might feel when someone finally hauls out a rulebook for another game whose guidelines are less nebulous, slaps it down on the table and says: “This is what we’re playing.”

That’s what it’s like for me when I slip into the game master’s chair for any particular tabletop RPG."

“Perhaps,' Taran said quietly, watching the moon-white riverbank slip past them, 'perhaps you have the truth of it. At first I felt as you did. Then I remember thinking of Eilonwy, only of her; and the bauble showed its light. Prince Rhun was ready to lay down his life; his thoughts were for our safety, not at all for his own. And because he offered the greatest sacrifice, the bauble glowed brightest for him. Can that be its secret? To think more for others than ourselves?' That would seem to be one of its secrets, at least,' replied Fflewddur. 'Once you've discovered that, you've discovered a great secret indeed--with or without the bauble.”
