the most fucked up fictional universe is all those mouse movies where mice have a secret society underneath human society where they’re fighting mouse versions of the same wars and have the same religious oppression and each have a human version of themselves

The ACLU has launched a petition against Mastercard’s policies on adult content!

Mastercard put into effect a new policy regulating adult content sellers that makes it extremely hard for sex workers to earn a living online. It must be stopped.

The policy itself imposes strict and invasive requirements on adult content websites using Mastercard’s financial services – including pre-approval of all content before publication, forbidding certain search terms, and monitoring the age and identity verification process for all performers.

Sign here!!

dnd/warcraft gnomes suck because it's clear the creators were afraid of making them be stereotypical gnomes but also had no real other ideas so they just kinda fused halflings and dwarves together to give you like. steampunk beardless dwarf-hobbits. there's no sense of uniqueness or identity here. just cowardice, cowardly writers afraid of writing lore about little old men in mushroom houses. be better than this, my friends

for how like, accepted orcs are now as one of the Big Fantasy Races, i feel that people trying to like, do original takes on those races never get weird enough with orcs. so you'll get all sorts of takes on elves where they're plant people or magic cannibals or something, but orcs is always just big dudes. sometimes they're boars if you're cool. where are the weird orcs

— have you tried the peat over here — yes. i have tried all of this peat — i do not think you have tried this peat. if you had tried it you would have remarked upon it — i have tried it — you would have said, "this peat is as salty as day's honest work, and as sweet as the first sip of vodka past my lips at sundown" — is that something i say? — yes. you say it all the time — i don't think i say it all the time — yes, you do. and you would have said it when you tried that peat — let me try it again, then — oh, now he's interested — mm. wow. ok — you're not going to say it? — say what — you know what — it's nice peat. no strong associations

there are plenty of valid and true criticisms that one can levy at dungeons and dragons but unfortunately all of them are defeated by the simple fact that i am making a kenku named Honeynut Cheerio right now. nobody can argue against this

You're just a mammal. Let yourself act like it. Your brain needs enrichment. Your body needs rest. You feel hunger and grow hair. You need to pack bond with other sentient things so you don't become unsocialized and neurotic. You are biologically inclined to seek dopamine and become sick when chronically stressed. "Hedonism" is made up to place moral value on taking pleasure in sensory experiences. I am telling you that if you don't let yourself be a fucking mammal, as you were made, you will suffer and go insane. No grindset no diets no trying to be above your drive for connection. Pursue what makes you feel good and practice radial rejection of the constructs meant to turn you into a machine. You're a mammal.

Hello Everyone!

Today is the first day of the weeklong strike for a ceasefire in Gaza.

I have realized that I do not think the message has spread far, at least on this website. This might be due to the lack of internet in Gaza, it has been down for days. Not much can be said by the citizens there, it's like some people forgot about them. I encourage all of you to share this post, or make your own, letting everyone know about this strike. This is something that should transcend the aesthetic of your blog. My blog was a gimmick blog, but for this week, it is a blog for spreading information and awareness.

Bisan Odwa (@wizard_bisan1 on instagram) has called for this strike. She is a journalist from Gaza, who has been experiencing this horrid violence for 15 weeks. 107 days. 2568 hours.

These were the images she posted, calling for this strike:

Reblog this, share this. Do not stop until every supporter of Gaza knows what we must do this week.

Free Palestine, Free Gaza, Ceasefire now!
