Ohio currently has nine bills in the legislative pipeline directly targeting trans people, restricting access rights to healthcare, education, and more. Itch.io is providing an easy way to fight back with a bundle containing more than 400 TTRPGs��from independent creators. While $5 is all you need to get everything included in this bundle, you can always donate more at at checkout to support the cause. Proceeds go to fund the nonprofit organizations TransOhio and the Kaleidoscope Youth Center, which provide housing, healthcare, legal advocacy, and other essential support to the LGBTQ+ community across Ohio.

social media has really warped our perception of creativity and hobbies. Stop doing things to post them. Just write. Just journal. Just sketch. Just read. Just annotate. Just sing. Just crochet. Just do the thing you’re going to do with the assumption no one will ever see or know you did it. Stop performing. Just enjoy it.

With everyone talking about intimacy games in the TTRPG sphere, I have independently published my conversation tool "Abstraction Adjectives" (originally in Splat 3: Touched by @summoningcirclepress which was my whole intimacy-in-ttrpgs baby)

Weird Place did a nice overview of Splat 4: Frights on their channel! We love seeing our content out in the world. Every time we see a stranger holding a physical copy of a thing we made, a year gets added to our life span.

(The video above goes through a body horror zine at the beginning so CW for that)
