It is always some anonymous coward. If this is you, don't listen to Unprepared Casters. Don't listen to any of my shows, either. You are not wanted. We didn't make them for you. Get the fuck out.

I saw unprepared casters people sharing pictures with you in it. I don’t know why they are putting up with you. They shouldn’t let transgenders on their show. You will ruin it!!!

Are… are you under the impression that Unprepared Casters is a particularly cishet show? Have you ever listened to it?

Also, I’ve been on the show before lol

DM Tip: If your characters become heroes of a town, have them come across kids running around and roleplaying as them.

They will love it.

Sarah is signing legislation that loosens labor laws for children. That’s why those all-white kids are wearing depressing navy suits.

Tim is giving all the kids in his state free school lunches.

It’s everything you need to know about Republicans.

No matter how serious the setting and story of a Vampire the Masquerade game is, there will always be a Toreador twink named Jeremy with a headset and a clipboard ruining around Elysium making sure all the chrysanthemums are the right color for each table.

It's not finished yet, but here's the progress on my UC crochet project!

It took a while to connect them all because a) I have less time at the moment, and b) that centre square wanted to cause problems

Next step will be to fill in the corners!

just a reminder to COMPLETELY boycott Eurovision this year; Azerbaijan and Israel, despite committing genocide, are STILL allowed to compete & have NOT been banned. by refusing to ban both countries, Eurovision is profiting off of the genocide of Palestinians and Armenians.

do not listen to the artists. do not pirate or stream the artists' music, and this applies to ALL the artists who are competing and performing this year. do not listen to the songs on ANY platform, do not give them ANY attention.

write to your broadcasters and tell them you REFUSE to watch the channels until they recognise the Armenian and Palestinian genocides & that you find it disgusting how they are allowing Eurovision despite Azerbaijan and Israel's entries.

do NOT give eurovision OR the competing artists ANYTHING but silence.

boycott ALL of eurovision.

It is Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day

And I have some big feelings, as a part of the diaspora. Remembrance Day is an inappropriate title for a time in which Armenians still face genocidal forces. Just last year, Azerbaijan, armed by Turkey, ethnically cleansed over 280,000 Armenians from Artsakh. The illegal colonizer state of Israel, currently in the midst of their 6+ month-long genocide against the Palestinians, has placed the Armenians who call Jerusalem home under threat and siege.

The Armenian struggle and the Palestinian struggle are deeply linked.

In his rise to power, Hitler is quoted to justify his actions against the Jewish, Roma, Queer, Disabled, and other victims of the Holocaust, to say "Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?"

Echoing these chilling words, Palestinian poet Najwan Darwish wrote:

Who Remembers the Armenians? I remember them and I ride the nightmare bus with them each night and my coffee, this morning I'm drinking it with them You, murderer - Who remembers you?

The trauma sustained during a genocide is not limited to the people experiencing it right now. The echoes of that trauma leak forward into the next generations, passed down through survival, and that is so insidious. My grandmother got to live, but did so believing that her parents did not love her, because the trauma they endured prevented them from expressing it. Abuse and unhealthy attachment were passed down because that starving hunger for love and acceptance was passed down. It is so deeply cruel and unfair that our oppressors get to reach through time and hurt our children's children.

We need to band together and stop the present-day abusers, the genocidal monsters that oppress the people of Palestine, Armenia, Congo, and so many others.

We need to uplift art made by those who survived, and by those who are surviving. Art is always targeted by the oppressor to erase cultural identity, to destroy legacy, and to break spirits. Support Palestinian and Armenian poets, and artists, and writers.

If you are one of the many who never learned about the Armenian Genocide, learn today. Ask yourself why people worked so hard not to educate you on this piece of history.
