Greetings to all the new followers, I guess! In this house we know
1) Black lives matter
2) Trans rights are human rights
3) Fat phobia is bullshit
4) Big problems don't have simple solutions, and anyone who says they do is selling something
I mostly tweet about d&d.

This is some John Grisham Pelican Brief shit
Boeing whistleblower John Barnett was planning to drive home to Louisiana after his deposition on Friday 3/8 before Boeing lawyers asked him to stay one more day to finish his testimony.
His body was found on the morning of 3/9. finance.yahoo.com/news/last-…

The merger of @CapitalOne and @Discover threatens our financial stability, reduces competition, and would increase fees and credit costs for American families.
This Wall street deal is dangerous and will harm working people.
Regulators must block it immediately.

The number of messages I have gotten from cisgender people who read Pamela Paul's article and were nearly swayed until reading mine easily debunking it is unreal.
I am glad I am able to fight back.
But I do NOT have the reach that the New York Times has to offer.
Most of you know I used to be a full-blown right-wing evangelical. Homophobic, transphobic, the whole bit.
So what changed my mind? With only mild exaggeration, it was this 2-minute music video right here: youtu.be/zeZMTOSeHVw?si=L8i3…
Stories matter. Art matters. You never know.

A quote you won't be seeing from a politician today:
"The sickness of racism, excessive materialism and militarism. Not only is this our nation’s dilemma it is the plague of western civilization."

For the first time in my life I own left-handed scissors. I feel powerful. Unstoppable. Quick somebody give me something that needs the edges gently trimmed

I made episode transcripts of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme series 9! Merry Christmas, Wilkos! jfsp9.neocities.org/ #jfsp #jfsp9
I sometimes think about how many people I've gotten to play TTRPGs with because of participating in Critical Role fandom on here. Not sure if I'll ever be able to recapture that.
Where is that kind of community building these days? Are there discords or something?

That’s why I loved two of the biggest movies this year in Oppenheimer and Barbie. They didn’t have any messages or politics in them. Just were there to entertain and tell us about feminism, nuclear disarmament and senate hearings.
Bob Iger says creators at Disney have lost sight of what their jobs should be, entertain first, not messages.
He adds that stories infused with “positive messages for the world” can be great but that it shouldn’t be the primary job.
