Companies hiring social media managers and expecting them to do photography, videography, graphic design, copywriting, brand strategy, monitor metrics, host YouTube, make tiktok dances. The work of an entire marketing team, w/little to no pay

The House of Faberge made 52 "Imperial" eggs as Easter gifts for Tsars Alexander III and Nicholas II to give to their wives and moms. 46 of these survive. I will rank all 46 Imperial Faberge eggs.

Conversations around CR have fuelled this, but this goes for any TTRPG situation: if someone you perceive to be cis makes a character that isn’t cis/isnt their perceived gender, LET THEM. There is no faster way to shut down someone exploring gender than to say “but you’re cis”.

The first time I saw it with my own eyes, heard it with my own ears, was in the summer of 2015. I was sprawled across a deck chair beside a pool in Fort Morgan, Alabama, half-asleep in the heat. An…

I’m as angry as anyone. I’m just saying that we should be able to find a middle path that (a) holds folks accountable when they willfully spread lies and incite violence but (b) doesn’t automatically cancel everyone within 100 yards.
