@creativecommons Psss! After reading all those comments here, I just had to channel my inner artist. So, here’s my new logo for you; because clearly, you need all the help you can get in your new mission. You're welcome! 😂
i had lost touch with political prisoner Hridindu Roychowdhury for a little bit, but recently found out that he had been transferred to county jail (and thus without any programming and likely without any of his prior possessions) as punishment for refusing to cooperate with a federal grand jury. in effect, his federal sentence is frozen in time, even while he's still being jailed for contempt for refusing to snitch.

Hridindu is a total gem, broadly knowledgable, supremely affable, varied in interests and skills, all around charming individual -- and more than that, a committed anarchist who acted directly against the rising tide of fascistic christian nationalism in the u.s. and took a principled stand in refusing to cooperate with the state.
please write him a note of support, encouragement or solidarity so that he knows people have his back while he faces renewed state repression. his address is:
Hridindu Roychowdhury

before October, your next best option is to enable Extended Security Updates (ESU) to put this off for another three years, until 2028. This has its downsides but it's better than doing nothing. Open PowerShell and type:

Mutual aid request for cat food and vet, please boost
Hey everyone,
We struggled to find food that Mitzi would be willing to eat, but we did. She only eats liquid stuff, so it's really expensive.
We still have to do some kidneys investigation as kindney failure is suspected.
Please, help us out if you can. A boost or a small donation would help a lot. We're sorry to ask again but this month is really tough...
Thanks for any help!
If a single one of you posts something like: "But what about the other boards?" or "it was different in my culture/language", you are just telling on yourselves. Your internalized antisemitism and rose-tinted glasses from your younger years are not a substitute for real, quantifiable harms to the Jewish community. I'd sock you in the face in real life and maybe that would knock your so-called "anti-fascist" priorities back in order.
You are not and never have been an ally or comfort to the Jewish people if you continue promoting this shit. I know you are probably just going to selectively choose to ignore us when we seem 'unfun' or inconvenient to your friend groups. This is just a confirmation of what I have already experienced a dozen times from performatively progressive folks. You'll bow to the pressure for the fucking meme, you aren't an ally. You aren't a friend.
I noticed Cumberland Games (i.e., @SJohnRoss ) calling attention to this with an announcement their games will be de-listed from DriveThruRPG.
I've been worried about DTRPG's near-monopoly over indie publishing and their partnership with Roll20 (and I've felt a rant coming on about VTTs). This seems an extension of what's happening with the tech industry.

Hey all y'all need to stop using "guys" in mixed company.
- My trans girlfriend is not a guy.
- My cis girlfriend is not a guy.
- I'm not a guy (or a girl, but that's not relevant here).
Misgendering is misgendering—even if "everyone's doing it".
Patriarchy shouldn't be the default.
