A comic. A man steps in shit, and exclaims such. He checks his foot, and we see that he has gender binary written on the sole of his shoe.

It's apparently a "mast" year for oak trees in some areas. You might have noticed more acorns on the ground than in other years.

A mast year is when oak trees, through a process not fully understood by science, coordinate what year they drop the most acorns. The advantage of this is the animals that feed on acorns eat their fill, allowing more saplings to grow.

So apparently this has been Trans Awareness Week?

Hi, I'm Peggy, and I'm a trans lady who spends most of her time drawing comics.

http://egypt.urnash.com if you are curious about them.

Also in the case of a trans/nonbinary coming-out, if they didn't specify their pronouns, it's good to ask, and if they did specify their pronouns, don't say, "Oh, this will be hard for me to get used to." Up-front apologies for getting it wrong are also not terribly helpful.

Dear LGBT allies: when someone comes out at work, "you're so brave" is kind of a bad response, and "you're so brave what with all the [list of things]" is a *really* bad response. It takes a lot of courage to come out; don't remind people of the things that already made it hard.

You can just be a fox girl online if you want. No one can stop you.

Just so everyone knows, there's a GIANT BUG in the Pokemon sword and shield.

That has to do with how it connects with your SD card.

It can delete ALL of your saves. From ALL of your games.

Turn off autosave until they fix it.

Guess we might as well post this publicly.

We attempted to return to our old friends on the SCP Wiki last night, to whom we had not talked in about a year. Instead, we got snipped at for referring to ourselves in the plural, and told that it was "extremely disruptive"; further events we uncovered thereafter indicated that this community is just really hostile to pluralfolk and effectively has "no plurals allowed" as a de-facto community policy.

"what is this, a circus?"
- not very offensive, the circus is a noble profession
- suggests a level of professional achievement
-reveals that you live with no whimsy in your heart
"what is this, a clown college?"
- deeply incisive because it suggests the people in the room aren't even good enough to be paid clowns
- suggest an amateurish approach to the art of clown
-tells everyone that you've at least seen one clown show in your life before

@hafnia I like to say that being a DM is mostly just Being Easily Entertained By Your Own Bullshit. At least, it is for me

I'm DMing an adventure I wrote on Sunday. It includes a beer judging contest, and y'all, I wrote twenty different beer descriptions so my players can roll a 20-sided die and determine the "winner".

I'm re-reading the descriptions to make sure there aren't any repeats, and I'm v proud of what I came up with.

I MAKE ME LAUGH.
