Back from another enjoyable Readercon weekend. Checked all the reports this morning and while we were there, the subscriber goal inched to within 200. We're now 191 subscribers away from what we had before Amazon ended their subscription program. clarkesworldmagazine.com/subscribe/

Vi tar det igen: Alla transfober kommer, så fort de tror att det är socialt acceptabelt, visa sig vara exakt lika vidriga homofober. Tro inte att dessa är frånskilda ting.

Darth Ragu. Damn, it actually sounds like a low effort Star Wars name.

I tend to do some photo collage/manipulation as part of my campaign pitches — sets a mood right away in ways a short paragraph don't. (It's also art practice while not straining the arm.)

My idea to run a cybernoir game with no aliens, just humans and various human-made player options has reignited this week. Like five humans (cyborg, duster. earthborn, lunary, spliced), two clones (clones and copyright infringed clones (aka replicants)) as well as four synthetic androids. #ttrpg

This is how a Swedish horror author who's popular with the local ttrpg scene writes, not a comma in sight. And it's *frustrating* to read for me, because after a while — more often than not — it's like a two-stroke engine than repeatedly lurches forwards and then chokes before it gets you anywhere.

Oh, he mentions rhythm in his book. He just wants you to do it with short sentences.

I've signed this, and if you're in the UK, I hope you'll sign it, too. As more than one person has pointed out, puberty blockers are reversible; suicide isn't. Gender affirming care has been proven to save trans lives.

Labour members have opened a petition to Wes Streeting. Anyone can sign it. "We, the undersigned, are calling on you to immediately withdraw your support for the ban on puberty blockers for trans young people." actionnetwork.org/pe... #transgender #LGBTQ #LGBT #Labour #trans

Also, Kobo users rejoice! If you’re itching to boycott Prime Day bc of Amazon’s abhorrent labor practices: Kobo does ebooks and is Kindle’s main competitor, and they named THE GHOSTKEEPER as one of their Best Books of the Month for July! 🤗

Psst: Project 2025 is terrifying for a lot of reasons but also because on page 5 it calls for teachers and librarians who grant access to books that are maligned as pornography (which just means anything LGBTQ) to be registered as sex offenders. Pass it on.

Since my birthday is coming up next month, I do have a wishlist for stuff — I'll be honest, it's mostly books. If you don't know me well enough to get my address, then there's always ko-fi.com/nyvinter or ordering some art commissions. I'm easy that way. nyvintergifts.carrd.co

Headaches (due to weather changes), arm muscles going "no, not now. Try later." and existential anxiety has been my week. I hope you've had it a lot better. Since it's the 16th today here now, it's one month to my birthday.

Important stuff here. @melissagiragrant.com explains that conservatives say "pornography" to mean LGBTQ+ people. They claim the mere knowledge that trans people or same sex couples exist harms children and must be banned. Their weird shorthand for that is the call to ban pornography.

The Real Targets of Project 2025’s War on Pornnewrepublic.com It’s not just about people watching porn. It’s drag queens, trans people, LGBTQ library books, and more.

I had missed this and it's downright amazing! At least the first half-hour, I have to pause to marvel at their choices.

So, TTRPG writing friends. I'm in a bit of a pinch. I need to get a new PC, and I'm needing the spare cash to do so. Can anyone throw any freelance writing my way? I make adventures, game content, you know the drill. My work is Ennie-winning and affordable. Email me at [email protected]

We had some sun in between the rain.

all the culture you liked from decades past was made possible by cheap rent and artists' pay keeping up with what things cost

It's because we all have day jobs, advances are pennies, publishers don't market, one underperforming book tanks your career, and we're expected to be well-tuned brand machines on social media websites designed to suck our souls dry.

You will be judged if you leave before the dog says it's okay to leave.

Det här är så bortom vad som borde vara möjligt i en demokrati. Chalmers tillkallar POLIS och en _myndighet_ tycker inte att utövande av grundlagsskyddade rättigheter kvalar in som "hederligt leverne". www.etc.se/inrikes/chal...

Om Mikael Gyllenhammar inte klarar av att studenter sjunger och bjuder på fika, så kanske det är han som borde ge upp sitt medborgarskap. Han borde i varje fall stiga ner från studentkåren för han har fan inte deras "säkerhet" i åtanke om han överreagerar så här. www.etc.se/inrikes/chal...

I know this was last month, but this thread still very much stands. (He's free from the collar now though and healed good after surgery.)

I DO ART! Vet visits for Henson cost money and so does living for the humans. So a slightly better economy would be nice and help a lot. Like a lot a lot. I mostly do character are but can and have done other things too. (📧 [email protected]) #art #commissions #artistforhire #ttrpg [1]

What are four comics you don't only like, you draw inspiration from. (I'm pretty darn basic in my comic taste.)
