Hey everyone! Here is a list of the stuff I'm interested in for visibility and discoverability:

if you can get tackled, ziptied, and arrested by agents of the state for protesting the state without their permission, do you *really* have the right to protest? does it make it better or worse, knowing that *they knew* the charges wouldn't stick, and they just wanted to beat you and strip you of your humanity because you spoke out of turn?
News: China, Uyghurs, War on Terror
Obviously, I think what the Chinese government is doing to the Uyghur people is awful, and this new information confirms a lot of what people knew was happening. But it's interesting that China is using a "War on Terror" as their excuse for genocide. I wonder where they got that idea...
AP News: Uyghur county in China has highest prison rate in the world

TTRPG / D&D 5e
I am the DM of a 5e game that has been going for close to two years now, but I'm only now getting around to making actual dungeons. They are still pretty basic, but it's fun. I made a ruined tower haunted by a ghost that steals the memories of the PCs, and they have to use mirrors to solve puzzles.
News: Israeli/Palestinian Conflict
I'm not really sure how some so called progressives don't see Israel as an apartheid state illegally occupying land. Seemingly just to prove they can get away with whatever they want, the Israeli military and cops do shit like this. The Israeli military literally shot this journalist in the head and then disrupted her funeral. Absolutely insane.

covid, US failure to do anything helpful
friends are now sick with covid, caught from their kid who had been going to school where the mask requirement was dropped.
and get this, when their kid tested positive they called the school to be sure his class would be notified, they were told "We aren't doing that anymore." so had to call the parents on their own.
Our brains literally evolved to NOT pay attention to boring stuff
We are forced to do boring things because that keeps other folks wealthy
The reason why you want to do hobbies all day is that you were supposed to be an artisan
Artisans were once seen to be the clearest sign of civilisation, not a burden
We have enough food now that all humanity could master the lyre
But we have chosen coin
and coin does not sing
I talk about the news, TTRPGs, and video games in addition to whatever is going on in my life. I'm an early career journalist who won't be sharing my name or identifiable info because the industry is obsessed with "objectivity."
Disclosure: I am cis, straight, white, and from the United States.
