Find a humanitarian organization near you and volunteer with them. Do it. I mean it. Even like one day a week. Even an HOUR a week. This shit will change you in the best ways. Your circle will fill with cool people. THE HELPERS-- FIND THEM and then BE THEM

Being in close contact with people who give a shit and are also witnessing the descent of our country into fascism and ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT is actually mad refreshing in contrast to the pointless noise that is the internet.

You'll make such fast friends if you:

show up

say "where do you need me"

do what they say

have a good attitude

Done. Easy. Volunteering is awesome and will put you right in the lap of the best people in your area. They're the helpers, they're the people Mr. Rogers told you about!

Doing an easy task like potting trees for a community garden or helping at a food bank will also connect you to people who are doing more, like immigrant support or things that tackle more urgent, dangerous issues going on. So you can scale up your involvement easily by just showing up repeatedly.

Or don't scale it up-- maybe you stop at helping at the food bank and you're stacking cans for a few hours. You're feeding your neighbors. That's a load-bearing part of any revolution. (I use that word optimistically.) The people you meet will be the people you lean on when shit gets worse.

AND VICE VERSA, prove that you are someone to lean ON by showing up and helping. Offer things to people. Your skills may be helpful. Already, just because we've done local volunteering, we have made at least 5 or 6 new friends, got a potential firewood connection, and WELL-PAID EMPLOYMENT (??? OMG)

(and free lunches and snacks and fruit trees) And it's healing as fuck to have people genuinely tell you, in the flesh, to your face, "I'm so glad you showed up today. I appreciate you so much. This would have been harder without you." That shit makes you feel AWESOME and REAL and PURPOSEFUL

(We woke up early for a shift at the food bank, I'm hyping myself up because I am not a morning person LMAO) But yeah volunteering is such a good way to build security and community. There's something for everyone to help with, just get out there and show up, first.

Started volunteering 3 hours a week at a queer community center and it has helped boost my morale so much. There’s something magical about needing a safe space and then becoming apart of that safe space. Helping others really does help/heal you.

if you've followed me for a while, you've probably seen me mention Underside, my dark cape TTRPG inspired by deconstructive superhero stories like Worm, Astro City, Watchmen, and the first season of Gen V.

it's a project i've spent a lot of time on, trying to build a system that tells the kind of superhero stories i like; the shit that treats them as a subculture with a body count, that digs into the dissociative tension of the secret identity, that asks what it means to feel so completely ejected from regular society that you can only go out in a mask and costume.

for a while now, a playtest edition of Underside has been available on my patreon; now, as it's slowly become more and more complete over the course of a year, i'm putting the most recent one up on itch.io

i want to be clear: while this playtest edition is enough to play a full campaign and contains all the mechanics that are going to be in the finished book, it's still a playtest. there's no fancy layout and an entire section (guidance for the Administrator, the game's GM-equivalent role) hasn't been written yet. but for a while, every time i talk about Underside i get the question: "where can i get my hands on it?". so here's an answer to that question; right now, while it's still in beta--if you want to support the project and help me get it over the finish line, or you just can't wait until it's out For Real, you can get it here.

your fantastical contraption is sooooooo grounded in realism, not a hint of fantasy in it!! I bet all you use steam for is to cook clams (devastating insult in steampunk world)

I've seen the clattering clog you carelessly call a cooking contraption and it causes me constant consternation at the cacophonous clatter of crashing and crunching cogs crushing clams into so much crud that not even the canniest cads and cooks in the country could create a conducive clam chowder from the clam curd that cludges out. You cur.

[thesternest]

Ok now try saying something that starts with all v's

[zie1]

Verily, though this villain vies to vex this vixen, my vim and vigor will ever vie for victory and vindication against your viral and venal ways. Vociferously, I insist that you will view my vicious and violent vengeance at my volition. V for Vendetta will be viewable in theaters very soon for the anniversary, but I must vouch that though I value the valor and veracity of the film, it may not vindicate as strongly when no virtuous vaudevillian e-viscerates certain various vermin in real life.

[thesternest]

Ok now L

[zie1]

Lo, listen to the license with which this lousy layabout lays lien to loads of L's. Let us laugh and leer at this loathesome locution you've lent forth. This lovely lass will loan her lithe tongue and lean wit lest you be let down, but err my lips let loose more lackadaisical limericks, I'll let you know that I legislate a lofty price to limit my lack thereof:

Let you respond with the letter E, for Esternest.

Spoiler Parahumans Worm Final Arc

My friend recommended me Worm around 2 months ago and I've been completely obssesed since and finished it yesterday. I wanted to make some Khepri fanart.
