The symbol on its own in gray, black, and white! Use as you wish.

Xenocryptic: A xenogender experience that is hazy, confusing, strange, or "other" in such a way that it feels disconnected from the entire concept of gender. It can be a xeno-aligned identity, a xenogender, a xingender, or a xeno-questioning identity that feels removed from gender because of its xenity. It can be considered a xeno-aligned apogender and is similar to apeirogender. - 💙💚

Xenocrypt @xenocryptsite said "'Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves' was well-liked by fans of the game if that counts."

Open Source Stupidity @IRHotTakes quoted it and said: paladin joins late and peaces out midway through the campaign. they get like 50 different rules wrong. druid tonally incompatible with everyone else. bard is a theater kid who literally fucking forgets that he has spells. 10/10, authentic D&D experience."

Above a picture of Holga, they said "As she was the only one who consistently tried to keep everyone on track without being a catastrophic fuckup or wallflower, I must regretfully inform you that she was most actually a fat old guy who last shaved in 1987."

the ekhsclusion zone replied "In the opening when they successfully get pardoned with their sob story but they STILL do their insane 'push the aarakocra out the window' plan because it was too thoroughly plotted out to not commit...that was the moment I went 'oh yeah, this is written by avid D&D players.'"

Alex @c0mm0nruin said "spend an hour coming up with an Ocean's 11 plan that takes advantage of everyone's skills in a unique way. just end up bashing the bad guy with axe at the end anyway. Absolutely perfect."

Entroponetic Business Class said "party manages to get stuck, DM improvs the presence of a magic item that conveniently solves the present issue, the party proceeds to use the magic item as the centerpiece of their plans for the rest of the campaign."

Minty Fresh @MediaOffline1 said "DM names a side character Jarnathan because who cares and he becomes everyones unironic favorite."

Xenocrypt said "Popular fan interpretation seems to be that the paladin was a DM PC."

GPT-Ern Malley @MoralHazard... said "'Druid does not show up to a session, everyone just pretends she was there all along' absolutely nailed it too."

Caleb Lane @The_CLane said "Some one said a sequel should be all the same actors playing new characters and I couldn't agree more."

Steven Chappell @Steven_Chap... said "When they're trying to get across a chasm and one guy asks 'I have rope, can we use that?'"

Anyway, if Democrats want to prove Susan Collins is vulnerable in Maine--the Governor, the State Senate, and one of the two House members are all Republican, and all of those offices are up for election in a month.

Terrific series of postings looking at empirics of the drug war and mass incarceration

Over at Medium, Xenocrypt is working on "five-part series on the effects of 'The War On Drugs' on 'mass incarceration'." Two posts into this series makes it clear that serious folks should spend some serious time looking at this analysis. Here are links to the first two lengthy postings:

Why The War On Drugs Matters In Mass Incarceration, Part 1: Who Goes To Prison.

Why The War On Drugs Matters In Mass Incarceration, Part 2: The Two Dimensions Of Prison Populations.

Here is part of the conclusion of this second post:

Why do different offenses seem important when looking at “prison sentences” as when looking at “prison populations”? To try to understand that, visualize “prison populations” as two-dimensional figures. Different parts of the figure might grow in different ways — and looking at height might tell you something different than looking at area.

According to these visualizations, the 2011 state prison system had more prison terms for drugs, “public order/other”, and lower-level violent and property offenses than the 1980 state prison system, but these were mostly short. Some prison terms did grow longer, but on average mostly for murder/non-negligent manslaughter, rape/sexual assault, robbery, and burglary....

Decomposing prison population growth into admissions and time served isn’t just an intellectual or visualization exercise. As I keep saying in this series, focusing on one statistic glosses over real human consequences. Violent offenders serving longer prison terms, along with additional prison terms for “rape/sexual assault” and “other violent” offenses, really did contribute more to “the incarceration rate” per se than the War on Drugs did.

That doesn’t mean the War on Drugs didn’t happen, or that all those extra prison terms for drugs and other lower-level offenses had no effects.  By placing admissions and time served in different dimensions, we might make that distinction clearer, and more fully understand what mass incarceration has really meant.
