Hey, all!! If you're looking for some phenomenally well-flavored homebrew to add intricacy and niche subclasses, equipment, or a new "Morale" mechanic to add to your 5e games (or you want to try your hand at a new and wonderfully witchy game), there's a Spring Sale over at the Homebakery!

The Homebakery is a truly brilliant project run by a dear friend of mine and everything is unbelievably affordable (especially for how much work they put in, holy shit!), and I cannot recommend the bundles and Drag & Drop Shops that make player characters and NPCs even more fun and unique, and DM's lives SO much easier!

when you call your reps to ask them to pretty please stop taking away your rights, remember:

  • In deep red areas you're a republican who is thinking of voting for someone else if they don't vote what you want on this specific bill because it impacts your republican ideals so very much
  • In swing states you're an undecided voter who's gonna go blue if they don't vote how you like

remember to call because that way their phone is going off and their peers can hear it because their offices are close together (emails and letters don't work like that), so it can rattle them if they get high volumes. remember that you gotta make them feel like they're losing something.

Talking points I've been using in my blood red state:

  • "I'm a small business owner and [example: anti-drag bill] is making me lose money!" OR "[Anti-drag bill] is going to cost us millions in taxable sales" - If you talk about how it's making you personally lose money and absolutely need to bullshit, you run a bar or do freelance photography. The intern they have on the other line does not have the resources or the know-how to check that.
  • "I'm concerned that [anti abortion bill] is the government infringing on my personal rights." - Self explanatory.
  • "[Anti-gay bill] goes against family values in my church." - They aren't going to call your local Pentecostal chapter to fact check this. You don't even need to be Pentecost, you just need to assert that you're part of a community and a major voting bloc.
  • Remember: In smaller towns, literally every vote counts. And voters generally don't call in, so your call can carry quite the advantage.

"As a taxpayer," "As a parent," and "As a homeowner" are key phrases.

Just realized that the reason I love making friends on tumblr is because it’s exactly how you make friends on the playground as a six year old. No, I don’t know their name but they love mermaids too and built this awesome sand castle. No, I don’t know their age but their imaginary cheetah is friends with mine. You like this show? You like this character?? You can sing the theme song really loud??? Here is a flower crown. Here is a juice box. You can share my time and I might never see you again but part of you stays in my soul forever. In my mind we’re still on the swing set and the sky is blue and nothing will ever be wrong again.

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

MacCready apparently offering his unconditional and indefinite services for a flat fee upfront must have set off all the Sole Survivor’s lawyer alarms. Boy, negotiate yourself a contract.
