some stupid ideas for dnd characters while i fight depression and boredom:
half elf, half tabaxi, full asshole
demon pretending to be a tiefling
doppelganger who took over someone’s life but had no idea they were an adventurer or into shady shit and is having a lot of trouble with trying to keep his identity up
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
Naturalized US citizens are reporting that the DHS website is listing them as “not a citizen”.
From Funmilayo Celestina Ekundayo:
So i just got this message when i attempted to update my voter registration.
This is a lie. I became a naturalized citizen in 2005. Drove all the way to Memphis Tennessee for the ceremony.
I have voted in 2 elections; i have an American passport I’ve traveled with, and i have gone to the Department of safety and homeland security to update all information, last time i did was 2 years ago when i needed a copy of my social security card.
So, a warning to all naturalized citizens inTennessee , check your status now!!

Something is happening.
*update*
I have confirmed others that are having this issue. Folks, this is Not a drill!!
Check your statuses.
*update 2*
Still trying to find answers. After calling the Department of homeland security and safety, i was told by the representative that he didn’t know what was happening and would like to refer me to an “immigration officer”. The wait time is 57 minutes. The office closed in 17 minutes.
I will try again on Monday.
Until then, i am taking my passport with me Everywhere!! EVERYWHERE!!!
Concept: a post-apoc survival game where the premise is that the previous batch of heroes stopped one of those allegorical JRPG-style apocalypses, but the physical consequences didn’t magically undo themselves afterwards, so now everyone has to to deal with symbolic bullshit like your agricultural land being replaced with forests of stone hands, or that giant eyeball where your capital city used to be. The tone could be horror, but it’s not; rather, the emphasis is on how incredibly inconvenient it is for everybody that pieces of the world have been transformed into half-baked metaphors for hating your dad.
Technically speaking, (and correct me if I am wrong) a Paladin is effectively Warrior priest of sorts, no? And a Necromancer is a magic user with a focus on death, yes? Hypothetically, a Paladin could be a servant for the god of the dead, no? Going out and stopping grave robbers, giving last rites on the battle field, and stopping evil Necromancers from abusing the dead, but the key word there is evil, and necromancy doesn’t automatically mean evil, a Necromancer could lay spirits to rest, give last rites, stop evil necromancers from abusing the dead, etc; as they could raising a horde of zombies and trying to destroy the local kingdom.
a necromancer and a pali falling in love the poor paladin questioning himself every second he see the other and the poor necro being confused when his/er gifts(usually death themed) upset the poor paladin and getting frustrated by it,
Maybe if they weren’t idiots they could avoid all that by actually addressing their massive gap in ethical and moral beliefs before they get invested?
people understand that Spanish speakers speak different dialects of the Spanish language but don’t understand that black people speak a dialect of the English language
Ornate Surreal Sculptures Formed From Thousands of Ordinary Objects
Plucked from ordinary life, the items used to create artist Kris Kuksi‘s surreal assemblages are transformed into high art. Since 2004, the American artist has focused on his sculptures, each tinged with a slightly Gothic, dark feel. Using railway model kits, figurines, jewelry, wedding cake parts, wood trim, resin, rocks, and other found materials, he slowly builds up each piece. The end results are fascinating, both as a whole and in detail.
Influenced by the classical world, Kuksi lovingly crafts each piece over the course of months—often years. Sometimes, his pieces have an overt nod to the past, such as his piece Nike, which incorporates a miniature of the famous Nike of Samothrace sculpture. Often, it’s the small architectural components and details that build up a nostalgic, vintage feel to the work, which borders on the surreal.
“I dream in the classical worlds. I’m drawn to it, I can’t get enough of it, and I just want to bring it all together into an art form,” Kuksi tells My Modern Met. “Re-live classical ideas and subjects and remix it. Life for me in the studio is all a remix of the ancient, antique, and vintage realms into the modern edge.” Working out of a 19th-century church in Kansas, Kuksi is surrounded by the history that he incorporates into his work.
