please help us🙏😭!

We are in urgent need of your help. We are going through very difficult circumstances, as we have lost our home and source of income. My father suffers from kidney issues, and he is also a chronic patient dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Due to the hardships we are currently facing because of the war, it has become extremely difficult to access the medical care he needs. The medications he relies on to maintain his health are expensive, and they need to be available continuously to keep his condition stable.We are in need of your support to purchase essential medications, as well as to secure clean drinking water and food. You are our only hope to save my father’s life and our own. Thank you for your compassion and generosity.

A very useful thread on Bluesky:

(There is a lot more. Rather than give you all the images, I've copied the full text below.)

If you like queer post-apocalyptic adventure fiction, you should read “Lead and Roses” (out now! wow!)

I received my pre-ordered copy of Lead and Roses, by award winning author Natalie H. Ironside, promptly at midnight on my e-reader device.

This immediately put paid to any plans I had to sleep as I read the first two stories. ‘The Last American’ was a hell of a ride from first to last, and left me eager to finish the collection.

Definitely a worthy follow up to the epic of The Last Girl Scout. Treat yourself and read this.

I tore through Lead and Roses over a couple of days and found that it has stuck with me as long as its predecessor has. There’s one scene where a girl is beating the piss out of a vampire in front of her extremely impressed boyfriend that I still want very much to draw out, there’s some nice closure for one of the main characters of TLGS I appreciated, and throughout the stories is Natalie’s strong prose, haunting and humorous in equal turns. Pick it up!!! You won’t regret it*!!

*assuming you read the trigger warnings and are okay with what you’re getting into. That bit’s important.

oh shucks <3

[ image description: a post on the Disco Elysium sub-reddit and following response. the first image is the original post from dratsabHuffman, it reads as follows:

Title: Question about going the fascist route.

Body: To amuse myself i researched revacholian nationalism as well as measure head's race theories etc etc and focused my character on "traditionalism."

Anyway, I've noticed that if i ever click dialogue options that are in tune with my character's political compass, i lose morale. Whats the point of having this as a mechanic if its going to be so detrimental and feels like the character doesn't believe he actually is this or something... is there anyway to overcome that kind of morale loss?

the second image, the response by recalcitrantJester, reads as follows:

Being a fascist is a deeply demoralizing experience. You have to not only radically alter your worldview to make reality fit into your unhinged schema, but that worldview is predicated on the notion that the weakest, most unworthy degenerate worms on the planet are somehow overpowering and humiliating you on a moment-by-moment basis.

In mechanical terms too, the lowered morale also reduces your volition score— the more you indulge in your delusions, the less you are able to exercise self-control and self-awareness.

The point of fascism being mechanically detrimental— the ludo narrative theme— is that fascism is an unequivocally self-destructive ideology, the practice of which only serves to nurture that self-destructive urge and turn it outward. It's not like Dark Side points in KotOR where you can access cool new abilities and get to enjoy being such a nasty lil rascal; you are not supposed to enjoy being a fascist in Disco Elysium. Fascism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike.

we should use the word "cisgender" more often as a modifier for comedic purposes. putting my stupid toast in the cisgender toaster. i have full conviction in this idea

The government doesn't want you to know that sometimes trans women look like this

i mentioned that i started watching jerma at work and the 19 year old transfem i work with immediately said "thats a stereotype"

i'd rather see 1000 graffiti penises than 1 product billboard. i'd live in dick city if it meant i could avoid advertisements in my daily life.

Remember kids, radfems aren’t feminists, they’re either Christian fundamentalists roleplaying a facade of second wave gender essentialism or idiots who bought their bullshit and don’t realize their only political allies are white supremacists.

Well that was fast, it took like ten minutes for a terf to get upset about this post. But if you’d really like some sources sweetie, here ya go! xoxo get well and out of that cult soon :)
