I am masked at a con right now, and the majority of the people in the PFS/SFS room are masked!

I am still masking at cons as well, and my husband and I have had surprisingly good luck with bringing a bunch of extra masks so others can mask as well. People we played with were by and large perfectly happy to mask up for a game; they just hadn’t brought masks with them.

Library funding is almost always justified through patron numbers. The more people a library serves, the more funding it gets. So even if you don't regularly use a public library, get a library card. It costs you nothing and helps everyone in your community.

It's a crass thing to talk about money, because we've heaped so much shame on poverty. But Ashton struggled with finances, and I'll never know how many years that carved off their life. Most of your favorite creatives are hurting. Support them when you can.

It is an understatement to say that the Paizo freelancer community is devastated by this news. We will all be reeling from Ashton’s loss for quite a while. If you can help their family with the expenses, it would be a huge kindness.

No joke today - today we remember Friend of the Facts and Paizo freelancer @gameraccoon.bsky.social who passed away this week. Our thoughts are with their loved ones.

Thanks for shining a vibrant light with your talent, your humor, and always your giant heart. It's hard to keep flying without you.

Let me tell you a real boring story! Last year, a queer artist in my community put up a cool Pride installation. Then some bigots used it to hang bigot flags and threatened to sue the city if they took down the bigot signs without also taking down the (admittedly unauthorized) art piece…

When doing work-for-hire, you have to fall in love with the story and characters as if they were your own in order to make it sing. But they're ultimately NOT yours, and the licensor will have certain limits. That's fine and you can almost always make it work. But you have to be prepared.

"I call this one the Philosopher 's Stone," said the bounty hunter, patting the large, complex pistol on her hip. "Why's that?" "Because it turns lead into gold," the hunter said, grinning broadly.

If I opened up free portfolio reviews for marginalized writers looking to get into writing for Paizo, would people be interested? BIPOC would be prioritized. I can't get you jobs at Paizo, just help you with your skills. I have a background in theater education, so I have experience giving feedback.

Judiciary appointments and agency staffing are two huge reasons I’ll be voting for Biden despite the many, many issues I have with him. Both have impacts way beyond a presidential term & often have life or death level consequences. I’m not voting for a person, I’m voting for a path.

Okay, important thread time! *Contacting a TTRPG Developer (As a Fan!)* I’ve seen this discussion pop up in a few places, so I thought I’d dump my perspective on this. My credentials: I’m a developer! I’m also a fan of ttrpg systems and spend a lot of time in ttrpg spaces.

An easy way to support your public library is to make use of it—even if only to visit. We keep (anonymized) statistics not only on circulation totals but on attendance & visits and even on patron-staff interactions. Big numbers please trustees and municipal/county administrators. 📚

A great way to “stick it to the man” and rebel is to mask. They want you to fit in, rebel by protecting your and other people’s health by masking. Survival of us queer folk especially will piss the fascists off. Help by wearing a well-fitted n95 or better.

if there’s any issue on which “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good” applies to Biden it’s climate - the IRA has been a tremendous success beyond all expectations and the news on the renewable energy front is excellent depressing to see it lumped in with issues on which he’s actually bad

New Yorkers, please call your state assembly rep and senator and tell them to publicly condemn this unconscionable Hochul plan. We're still in a pandemic. And thousands of people are immuno-compromised. This would hurt people -- even help kill them.
