anyway guess who's a paladin now

By the end Scribe and I were RPing as her character and this NPC and both of us were just crying. DnD is a great game.

Black Tabby Games, the creators of Scarlet Hollow and Slay the Princess are going to be distributing a game by SmallBu??!

[thesnadger]

I need one of them unlicensed Jordan Peterson doctors to put me in a medically inadvisable coma and replace my blood with bone broth.

[teliangel]

Honestly Scarlet Hollow is just the most game of all time.

You can deliver a baby. You can carry a bag of boiled peanuts around for a week straight. You can weigh in on dog politics. There are hot mentally ill singles who would love to go on a quest with you. You can save everyone (you can't save anyone). Your roommate is an opossum. You get to watch everyone you love lose their autonomy. There's a pug. There's a psychic torture prison. There's some of the worst moms you've ever met. You can fuck the sentient mold, if that's your thing.

If you're looking for a good, centralized collection of fundraisers for people and organizations doing on-the-ground work in Minnesota right now, someone on Bluesky put together a great resource hub for things like food support, rent relief, mutual aid, and immigrants' rights centers that I'd really love to see spread around.

And if you're local to the Twin Cities, there's a "Take Action" section with links to ways to get active, as well as some resource guides for legal observers, etc.

Those of us here in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the metro area appreciate every bit of support we can get right now, especially with the federal government cutting off things like SNAP benefits for Minnesotans and threatening further retaliation. Keep us in your thoughts, and maybe pick a cause to support, if you can.

[astriiformes]

Reblogging to add that the person who put this together has turned it into a full-fledged website, if that's any easier to spread around!

Stand With Minnesota

[talisidekick]

If you want to stand up for transgender Canadians, then there's a petition to ask the federal government to repeal the acts signed into law that restrict transgender medical care for transgender youth:

You need only be a resident of Canada, not a citizen to sign. Please help us give transgender youth a fighting chance. Their medical care decisions should be between the handling physician and family only. This isn't a matter for politicians to decide.

[quasi-normalcy]

hey, so I would he grateful if people living in Canada could sign this and if non-Canadians could signal boost, please.

[gehayi]

The petition will be closed for signatures on February 16, 2026.

[codotafterdark]

This needs to be boosted.

One thing I've been thinking about as part of New Year's Reflections is: with the curse I'm often too tired for anything but Phone In Bed, but I'd like to see if there are options for Phone In Bed that feel less like rotting.

Part of this is getting better about intentionally resting; if I'm too tired to read I shouldn't try to and should instead work on some of the relaxation/meditation techniques that make resting actually feel restorative instead of just mentally clawing at the walls.

But I'm wondering about things to do when I can keep my eyes open but not much else. Might see if it's possible to get ebooks from the library on my phone, but those tend to require sustained attention which I can't always do. I have a couple of Liberation Philology language apps which I want to work on and also some musicality apps, but if people have recommendations for more phone-based enrichment I'd really appreciate it! I'm specifically interested in things that are:

Interesting or useful and not just things to kill time

Modular, only take a few minutes of attention at once

Don't require decisions (or at least not complex ones) to use. The actual content can require thinking but if I have to choose between too many options to start a thing I won't do it

Don't involve time limits or quick reflexes

Free or one-time payment; I don't trust myself to use things consistently enough for subscriptions to be worth it (plus I have no money)

If there are any apps or websites or just Activities you do on your phone that fit the bill, I'd love to hear about them!

[scribefindegil]

Thanks to everyone for the recommendations; I really appreciate it!

HAPPY NEW YEAR GO INTO THE SOUP

Reviews of the film: "this was an interesting but completely surreal arthouse drug trip fever dream, any story must be buried under symbolism and up to your imagination!"

The actual film: visually stylish with minimal dialog but has a completely coherent plot if you just have maybe more attention span than a moth

[theravenkingscourt]

a new year's classic.

Talking with Scribe about how Reigen definitely has ADHD, and I know that whole the conversation around mental health and mental disorders is wildly different in Japan, so out of curiosity I started doing some research on it and I have come to. A discovery.

Prior to 2007, the most common medication prescribed for ADHD symptoms in Japan was Ritalin--which was technically not approved to for children (and it was and remains fairly difficult to get an adult ADHD diagnosis) but still ended up getting prescribed to them occasionally if they were in serious need of them. However, due to heavily increasing regulations on stimulant medications, access to Ritalin prescriptions dropped sharply from 2007-2008, and a lot of people were kicked off their prescriptions.

Reigen opened Spirits & Such when he was 23 years old after spontaneously quitting his boring sales job. Given that he's 28 years old for the majority of the series, which takes place in 2012, that means that he must have opened the agency sometime in 2007-2008.

I don’t think I have the chops for D&D or other tabletop RPGs but I could make a good DM’s assistant. I don’t play the game but I sit and listen and then after the session the DM can ask me for ideas.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

and I am in character as the king’s most trusted advisor the whole time

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

I could say things like “yes, my liege, most clever, my liege” and keep notes for the DM and maybe supply a few character voices. and serve everyone very sinister tea.

[chaumas-deactivated20240115]

No. I’m not looking for any words. Dungeon Mentat suits me just fine.
