My most listened to Spotify song for 2020 was Creep (not the Radiohead song, the one on the the FFX sound track), because I had it on loop for several sessions of a Pathfinder game I was GMing and I am really at a loss as to how to feel about this.
Pleasantly surprised by the decent rate of mask use at the shops this evening, nice job SA!
There are a lot of things that @JacquiLambie and I would disagree on, but she makes a very strong point here, and it is truly moving to see someone passionately representing their constituents and bravely espousing their values in the face of outrageous indifference.

I just saw ‘Probiotic Popcorn’ and I think we can just pack it up and go home because it’s done.
This everyday.

Okay, I am about to tell a bit of a story. You're going to want to be prepared for this, fair warning.
2020 has been lining it up for a while, but we have 100% jumped the shark.

"Please scream inside your heart" basically sums up 2020
Ben Pershing@benpershing8 Jul 2020
Japan’s theme parks have banned screaming on roller coasters because it spreads coronavirus. “Please scream inside your heart.” wsj.com/articles/reopened-th…

Reopened Theme Parks Ban Screaming on Roller Coasters. Riders Are Howling.

Japan’s amusement parks ask visitors to suppress their screams to help prevent the spread of Covid-19, but it isn’t always easy. ‘That’s the idea of a roller coaster—you scream.’

I want to talk about something called "performative contrition". It is a term common in abuse survivor circles, and is a VERY common abuse tactic. It's an abuse tactic that's been on full display in the SFF community the last few days. So, let's break it down. A THREAD.

If you’re unbothered or mildly bothered by the 1st knee, but outraged by the 2nd, then, in my father’s words, you’re “more devoted to order than to justice.” And more passionate about an anthem that supposedly symbolizes freedom than you are about a Black man’s freedom to live.

With Morrison threatening to strip public funding from private schools today over their COVID-19 response, you might be wondering how much taxpayer money actually goes to non-government schools. The answer is: a lot!
