friendly reminder this story we stumbled across once exists. it's good. love us some domestic queer witches
warm language take
if you've gone your whole life seeing only good walls made of rectangular bricks and the occasional bad wall made of irregular and rough bricks, seeing a Voronoi-tiled wall will likely have a similar effect as this.
you'll think it hilarious, wildly novel, and fascinating - a brick wall built of jagged irregular bricks... but it works! it's a good wall, even though it breaks every convention you know. it might even be better in some ways!
and so your mind expands.
an autistic brain is not a damaged brain, it is a brain that is wired differently from others, and that wiring is not something that can be changed by chemicals or anything else for that matter

we love it because it makes you think slightly differently about the concepts at play than you usually do.
conventional:
"all your bases belong to us"
- every single one of a discrete quantity of bases
- we control them all
unconventional:
"all your base are belong to us"
- all of the amorphous base-stuff you have
- all this base-stuff exhibits the characteristic of "belong to us"
- things that exhibit "belong to us" are thereby under our control

@diodelass dialects are good and valid and anyone complaining otherwise is a prescriptivist cop

Survey about the economic realities of working in the TTRPG industry
From @SandyPugGames@twitter.com
For too long the economic realities of working in the TTRPG industry have been obscured. It's time to fix that. This survey aims to be the first part in a research project aimed to bring transparency to the economic state of the scene.
Please share.

I'm seeing a few new people cautiously say things like "let's enjoy this place before the bad people get here" and I just want to say:
Don't worry! They're already here! But thanks to the heroic work of your instance moderators and admins, you will never see them. And if they do show up then your mods will get rid of them: unlike Twitter, the reporting functions here are reviewed by real people who don't care about turning a profit, and instead focus on enforcing community guidelines
