high fantasy lost something, I think, when the typical protagonist became ‘’gruff dude in full leather/plate armor’’ and stopped being ‘’muscular yet somewhat gender ambiguous dude in no pants, titty artfully out’’
Talk to me when fantasy media is back on this shit again
For days, Donald Trump has been tweeting about the “anarchist take over” of Seattle. According to Trump, the city is being “pillaged” by “terrorists” who are murder-burning their way across the city.
Fox News hasn’t just been making up stories—it’s been manufacturing images and video. As the Seattle Times reports, Fox has “digitally altered” images to make the situation in the area seem dire. That includes putting together elements from multiple images to create a misleading collage, lifting signs and symbols from one area to impose them on another, and it means that many of the images Fox is using to present the image of chaos in Seattle … aren’t even from Seattle.
This is why your conservative friends & family are freaking out about Seattle.
this protester from Tallahassee has been missing for a few days now and I'd really appreciate it if any of you could rb and share this. if anyone knows anything but doesn't feel comfortable calling the police number, you can send an email with the info to [email protected]
WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR HER!!!!
Tallahassee Community Action Committee is a LEGIT group and I know most if not all of the people who run it. This isn’t fake, this isn’t a scam. I understand the hesitance but TCAC has posted on their twitter if you personally feel uncomfortable contacting TPD with info, to DM them. They also have an Instagram.
twit: tallycac
ig: tallycac
If you checked the notes you’d see OP and others giving you evidence this is real. This is personally the only info I know, I live in this area. Please help even if you don’t personally live in FL, someone who follows you may.
EVERY WORD HERE 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼 IS TRUE. YOU ARE THAT FROG.
I too have no space to worry about USA, already very worried about Poland and Ecuador, thank goodness Canada is still somehow holding up, but I’m horrified how far you let it go. FIX IT NOW or you’ll be sorry - truer words were never spoken.
Beware of requests for compromise when you are asking for justice and the other side is asking for consent to continue.

Every DnD game that starts out with a serious “Lord of the Rings” type of tone turns into a Monty Python sketch and every DnD game that starts out like a Monty Python sketch turns into Lord of the Rings
DnD game with characters named Kua the Brave, Enoch Bluehelm, and Hallow Greaves: Our current mission is to save the kingdom from the Dark Queen Ravenbone but we fucked up a charisma roll and now Kua and Ravenbone are dating and the king of Fendale was turned into a frog
DnD game with characters named Bunny Wabbit, Ford Trukk, and Dildo Baggins: Our current mission is to find a birthday present for a spoiled prince but in the process we found a lich planning to devour the life force of everyone in the land and Dildo gave his life to stop him in a scene so moving it won the Newberry Medal
If you give your players room to do whatever they want, including be silly, they will most often choose to express themselves. And you'd be amazed how much you'll start to care about characters once people have attached little pieces if their soul to them.
If you try to enforce a "serious" tone, it just makes the gags funnier, and your players will treat you with the same casual blasphemy orangutans show to God.
"the same casual blasphemy orangutans show to God" WHAT THE FUCK I'M DECEASED
On twitter I’m seeing dozens of threads from Black activists warning people against burnout, giving all sorts of useful tips about preventing and managing it for the sake of a long-term, sustainable effort.
On tumblr I’m seeing a hell of a lot of young white kids yelling at anyone who actually follows those steps, and acting like burnout is a moral falling rather than a well-proven psychological phenomenon.
Be careful who you get your information from. Don’t let guilt lead you to make choices that will harm both you and the movement.
I’m going to reblog this again since I see more individuals are inquiring about burnout prevention tips in the notes and it’s why I sought out this resource. I hope it helps you!

Multi-level dungeon built into the drawers of an old dresser
The BEST THING I’ve seen on Twitter this week (month?) is Justin Alexander’s thread documenting “The Dungeon of Drezzar,” Peter Heeringa and Troy Wilhelmson’s spectacular multilevel dungeon built into a series of dresser drawers.
https://twitter.com/hexcrawl/status/1252289754479165442
Heeringa and Wilhelmson built an entire dungeon-level into each drawer, painstakingly painted, staged and decorated. It’s intricate: the “tavern” includes a teeny tiny noticeboard where adventurers can leave notes for one other.
https://twitter.com/hexcrawl/status/1252289758505701376
There are effects that span multiple drawers, like a well that goes straight down, and each drawer can be removed and played on a game-table.
https://twitter.com/hexcrawl/status/1252289762465103873
But that’s nothin’, because, as Alexander notes, the dragon guarding the bottom level and her lair match the cover of the 1981 Basic D&D box set.

This is so amazing that I am in a state of grace and prepared to meet my maker.
Holy. Shit.
I think this is the first 3D dungeon I’ve seen that replicates Erol Otus’ magenta cavern with the green dragon
This is freaking amazing
new pokemon types! these are free to use and no credit is required!
why do i feel like I’d just be Cringe Clown… rp wise or not.
I am bitch vastard and we all know it
Hey Y’all, Sonne here - I’m a street medic in the city of Tucson who often works with legal observers from the local NLG chapter. This has definitely been a topic of discussion for us recently, but our lawyer friends have assured us that the actual verbiage of this bill, while it is definitely unconstitutional, says the cops now have total freedom to establish the safe distance for bystanders during any arrest. What this means is that normally, if you step back five feet, the cops can’t make a fuss about you filming. (They will anyway, but they’re not supposed to.) Now, however, they’re able to tell you that you have to be a hundred or two hundred feet away because that is ‘minimum safe distance’. If you don’t comply, you’re considered to be ‘interfering at a crime scene’. They’ve already been keeping press and cameras away from protests, ostensibly for the safety of those press members.
I just want to add some clarity because I’ve seen this all over twitter and facebook.
Seattle PD sent seven police cars to arrest the guy who filmed them macing a child and are holding him without bail on trumped up charges of “Unlawful discharge of a laser pointer.”
Seven police cars. No bail. This is retaliation.

dont believe those posts about cops kneeling with protesters
propaganda is fascisms biggest weapon
I keep looking at current affairs and recalling over a year ago, there was that anon sent to me saying "Real Knights are fascist", as stupid as that sounds.
Looking at all of the above, where for propaganda purposes, the police take a knee as a gesture of peaceful intentions, then the moment the pictures are taken, resume beating, shooting, and gassing, reminds me just how idiotic such an idea is.
A principle of chivalry is that your show mercy when possible, and honour your word. This, all of this, is what fascism is: brutality and cruelty built on lies.
This is a big part of why this blog hates fascism and those that support it with such passion: it is impossible to reconcile with knighthood and chivalry. It is a virus that seeks to exterminate everything until it is all that remains.
And it must be opposed and stamped out.

Cops are trying to push a narrative that pits protesters against small business owners, they’re trying to ingratiate themselves to seem more liberal by putting rainbows on the sides of their cruisers, all the while violently acting against small business owners who stand in solidarity with the protesters. They are not only terrorizing non-violent protesters (Medics! They’re terrorizing MEDICS!), but they’re carrying on in their longstanding tradition of wrecking LGBTQ+ spaces. Cops don’t actually care about small business owners, and they sure as fuck have never been LGBTQ+ Allies.
“Rioting police have driven vehicles into crowds, reproducing the assault that killed Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017. They have surrounded a car, smashed the windows, tazed the occupants and dragged them out onto the ground. Clad in paramilitary gear, they have attacked elderly bystanders, pepper-sprayed cooperative protesters and shot “nonlethal” rounds directly at reporters, causing serious injuries. In Austin, Texas, a 20-year-old man is in critical condition after being shot in the head with a “less-lethal” round. Across the country, rioting police are using tear gas in quantities that threaten the health and safety of demonstrators, especially in the midst of a respiratory disease pandemic. None of this quells disorder. Everything, from the militaristic posture to the attacks themselves, does more to inflame and agitate protesters than it does to calm the situation and bring order to the streets. In effect, rioting police have done as much to stoke unrest and destabilize the situation as those responsible for damaged buildings and burning cars. But where rioting protesters can be held to account for destruction and violence, rioting police have the imprimatur of the state. What we’ve seen from rioting police, in other words, is an assertion of power and impunity. In the face of mass anger over police brutality, they’ve effectively said So what? In the face of demands for change and reform — in short, in the face of accountability to the public they’re supposed to serve — they’ve bucked their more conciliatory colleagues with a firm No. In which case, if we want to understand the behavior of the past two weeks, we can’t just treat it as an explosion of wanton violence, we have to treat it as an attack on civil society and democratic accountability, one rooted in a dispute over who has the right to hold the police to account.”

NZ traditional haka for black lives matter, video posted june 3rd 2020
For those of you who don’t know, this specific haka was written by a father to acknowledge his son’s wrongdoing and basically tell him to get his shit together. It is also modernly used as a haka tautoko, or acknowledgement, in some contexts.
Y'all see how symbolic this is, right? It’s both acknowledging current events as a show of solidarity, but also calling for world leaders to get their shit together and admit their wrongdoings and try to change things. This shit is powerful.
The user quobbo on tiktok did a little rundown analysis of it here:
