Transphobia is a cancer of the heart and mind.

It is a useless fear, based on ignorance and cruelty.

Trans people are not responsible for a single one of the problems we face.

Do the world a favor and grow the fuck up.

"yeah no, women do it better"
Better is in a script font with a big swoosh underneath it.

A friend said this in regard to hockey rules.. but it's also very applicable in general. (and I like to pretend I have graphic design skills.)

a real worry i have is that when the theft engine bubble implodes (and implode it will) it may poison legitimate uses of machine learning in cancer research eg or protein folding

Yes it is! There are Drawers who draw on their own sheet and at the end they overlay all the sheets together to try to guess a cartoon character. Clue givers give their specific drawer different features to draw.

Two overlaid drawings, one in blue and one in red. Together they are meant to depict a recognizable cartoon character.... it's supposed to be a scooby doo. A dog nose, ears and collar are kind of visible together.

A picture of Arnold from Hey Arnold. Next to Arnold is a rough drawing of Arnold, in a mix of red and blue lines.

You KNOW Amber Glenn is one of us because she rolled up to the Olympic "We Ran Out of Condoms Early" Games and was like "Hey everybody, I brought some Magic decks"

A screenshot of a medal table copied from Yahoo Sports, showing Norway having earned the most 2026 Winter Olympic medals with 41. In second and third are the US and Italy, with 33 and 30 respectively.

I did something nerdy about sports!

Medal tables have always bugged me, because some sports give out more medals than others.

Like, Norway got the most medals, and of course that's a meaningful stat.

But like a lot of stats, it doesn't tell the full picture.

A piece of paper showing a 4x4 grid mostly filled with drawings of buildings. Next to the grid are building names next to polyomino shapes with squares of different colors.

I make games because I love every step of the processβ€”the initial idea, the scrappy first prototype, the first playtest filled with glee and failure and hope.

Here’s my scrappy first prototype of Tiny Towns. [1/6]

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance.

A small poster sign that says "Wee! Woo! Win!" With a picture of the three Sirens capitals in one corner and coach Fargo in the other. There's a hand drawn siren and hockey stick and puck as well.

"Theory of mind" describes the realization that other people have different minds than yours. I feel like it's a lifetime's work to truly internalize.

Perhaps tabletop games appeal to me because within their magical circle, the hardest part of that work evaporates.

Yes, a lot of games...

A white pit bull mix with a few light brown spots stands in the entrance of a hallway. The sun is shining in from behind and down the hall, giving the dog a nice glow.
