Pft. Listen dimension 20 is fun and their new steampunk pirate adventure will probably have a capitalism undertone, but I will always prefer Skyjacks

. If you want about seven arcs of emotional damages from gritty characters, like Captain who defied death in a world that has a literal manifestation of grim reapers, Just a guy really who can see his own impending future and future of others, Angels with complicated beefs with talking shape shifters, shape shifters with even more complicated histories with their mother, than Skyjacks has it all.

Also included, lots of well rounded interestkng BIPOC LGBTQ characters, living that do crime , be gay life, literally

Fuck captalists. No seriously we're going to tear their house down on them.

Bloodly duels and fights.

Magic so old and so complicated there's secret church orders to study it

We are built upon an old world that died because the stars fell and killed or ruined most of the world as it was

As the child of two classic boomers (1948 and 1950), and the grandchild of a woman born in 1914, this is 100% true.

I mean, we knew, but it's nice to hear so succinctly

I always liked the anime illustrations in the original NES Zelda manual, and it saddened me to find out these weren’t actually part of a real animated promotion for the game. So I decided to take those illustrations and re-create them as if they were!

Enjoy this long-lost VHS promotion for the Legend of Zelda on the Nintendo Entertainment System!

It's important to remember that Luigi Mangione is being framed for murder. The "evidence" they have on him is absolute clown shoes absurd.

They're trying to win this by swaying public opinion. That's why they're doing movie deals about it and staging ridiculous photo ops.

They're gonna try to give this kid the death penalty to cover up for their own gross incompetence and in the hopes that they scare the working class out of trying to fight back.

Please don't help them do this by using his name as a synonym for political assassinations. Please do not perpetuate the idea that he's guilty.

It's Juneteenth yall. And I'm not letting this day go unmarked.

Black people fight for everybody. We stand in solidarity with women, lgbt people, poor people all over the world of every skin color and background. Every religion and nationality.

Today, stand with us. Be with us. Tell a black person you love them. Hug a black person (with consent). Ask that hot black girl out today. Make a black person smile. Black lives matter to everybody and you matter to us.

Stand with us on Juneteenth like we stand with you all year round, and I hope a happy Pride month continues for all of us

💝

thinking about when my professor told me how the boards of companies/orgs/etc. will sometimes hire on a CEO/whatever who they know will basically take a chainsaw to existing infrastructure, let them fuck as much shit up as possible, and then promptly fire them as soon as they've accomplished what the board wanted them to do. then they can point the finger at that guy & look like they're the heroes and the problem is resolved because he's gone now. and they still get to keep all the changes they wanted that nobody else did.

anyway I think it's fun and all to watch the two most divorced men on the planet publicly divorce each other. and also. maybe keep that in mind, is all.

For everyone enjoying Cloudward, Ho! who wants more more swashbuckling anticapitalist skyship content, I'm begging you to check out Campaign: Skyjacks. It's a long-form AP podcast about Sky Pirates. Not only is the concept sexy as fuck, it also has some of the juiciest player/character chemistry I've ever seen & intensely collaborative worldbuilding. The world is woven of folklore and one-off bits that have somehow wound up immortal.

The story opens with the PCs trying to Weekend-at-Bernie's their captain's corpse through a ship heist using illegal necromancy. It's so instantly funny & charming and I implore you to give it a listen!

[worldstoforge]

Y’all liking Cloudward Ho?!

May I suggest Campaign: Skyjacks! It’s got everything they got!

Cool sky ships, danger, adventure, funny bits, improvisers, dramatic parts, fun magic and deep lore!

It’s even got stuff they don’t got like like sexy angels, spooky magic, undead captains, a hateful sea, giant rideable birds, and a deeply anti colonial/ anti capitalist narrative.

There are tons of episodes to listen to right now FOR FREE on any podcasting app. Just search, Campaign Skyjacks

Two years after being tasked with commissioning a review of medical evidence surrounding gender-affirming care for trans youth, Utah’s own state health department has concluded that trans healthcare bans “cannot be justified.” The Republicans who commissioned the study aren’t too happy about it.

Back in 2023, Utah Governor Spencer Cox signed a bill that placed an indefinite “moratorium” on doctors prescribing gender-affirming care like hormone therapy and puberty blockers to trans youth. That bill ordered the Utah Department of Health and Human Services to compile their report in order to produce recommendations for the state government on whether or not to lift the moratorium.

This week, the department delivered their long-awaited, over 1,000-page report — which is dated August 6, 2024 — to Utah lawmakers. The report’s authors found that “the consensus of the evidence supports that the treatments are effective in terms of mental health, psychosocial outcomes, and the induction of body changes consistent with the affirmed gender in pediatric GD [gender dysphoria] patients.”

The authors added that “the evidence also supports that the treatments are safe in terms of changes to bone density, cardiovascular risk factors, metabolic changes, and cancer.” Trans youth who had received gender-affirming care were within the bounds of normal, non-pathological ranges for these conditions.

y’all this is huge. please don’t “water is wet” all over it! I understand that we all already know this… The point is that the world doesn’t know or care or believe and so these studies really fucking matter!
