what a cool article and website

Yeah, it does dry if I set it out for too long 🙂 but I use it enough that it isn’t an issue.

Ooh. I’ve heard about the ranga pens! They look gorgeous to me!

My very first ink I brought was this. The noodlers polar green ink. It feathered like nothing else even on good paper sometimes… But the color is still gorgeous to me. But as it stands I’m unable to use it

Its good but heavy! It was my second fountain pen ever and ive used it til now!

Thanks for putting this together!!! This is awesome! 😊

I feel what you’re thinking of is “theater of the mind” in which games are run without a map or a grid. Its how I run my gurps game even though there’s options for grids. I think a rules lite rpg like FATE would work better but even with regular DnD (I’m not familiar with pathfinder but I’m assuming its along the same lines) as long as everyone can keep in mind where everything is, it could work out perhaps.

authors do get money from libraries that buy the books. and in some places they even get money depending on how much its checked out.

Ive used /r/penpals before with good results, as well as swapbot. Would highly recommend a po box.

Clicked on it and the first thing I saw is “women’s bodies were meant for the male gaze”

I’m not a fan of lemmygrad at all but yeah thats wild lol

yeah! You’re right 😭🙂! and I’m so happy to see it.

donations are important too! id like to donate more when I can eventually when I am more stable (in the most general term). one day

yeah thats what I plan on doing! I hope you’re right and I’m just being paranoid. thankfully a lot of other instances are defederating from threads too… hopefully it’ll be enough at least to keep a small part of the community safe

optimistically, the fact that zuck is even trying to take over the fediverse means he sees it as a threat. we’ve been already doing well enough without their “help” and it scares him

yeah but threads has advertising and corporate money backing it up checkmate library

for real though my greatest fear is that threads devouring the fediverse regardless of how much of a dumpster fire it is

oddly enough I prefer the new ui over to the old ui. Feels snappier

(Probably because I’m on mobile though?)

man its real interesting to see vintage stuff like this

I subbed to that subreddit specifically to see people whine before lol. I’d say it feels astroterfed but that would be giving them too much credit

Yep! Its technically reopening and it makes the spez simps mad. Honestly reddit deserves the worst.

I know that this probably won’t work as stubbornly idiotic as Huffman seems to be doubling down but god isn’t that amazing.

What’s fascinating is the sudden increase of people whining about this. If this kind of stuff bothers them imagine how bad it is when these moderators leave completely? I know a subreddit based on interesting things have completely lowered their standards as a protest and it shows.

yeah I’m not really into fandom anymore because of that either. I just find it simpler to quietly enjoy a piece of media nowadays

ahaha yeah it’s unfortunate that people on twitter and tumblr and tiktok just lose their minds when it comes to kink in media. really, get me out of here. Murder violence and gore in stories is perfectly healthy and people won’t immediately go and kill people but if you show a couple with an age gap its all of a sudden a moral imperative to stop any depiction immediately.

i do feel like the joker sometimes

the centralization of people also was a more recent thing. I remember specialized smaller forums and websites used to be more popular when I was younger. hell even earlier with GeoCities people had their homepage and blogs.

and even with discord and twitter people had their own small groups that may seem “redundant”.
