look at me. listen to me. bigots and queerphobes don’t know the distinction between a trans person, a gnc cis gay person, and a cisgender heterosexual crossdresser. all of these people are just queer degenerates to them. that is why their anti-drag bills are written so vaguely as to encompass any possible mundane gender nonconformity - so they can target as many of us as possible in one ruling. and that’s why you need to stop trying to put lines between these groups in regards to ‘who’s more oppressed’ and ‘who has the right to talk about gender’ - gender nonconformity and transgenderism are punished in exactly the same way. cut one of us and the other bleeds. our fight is the same.

The fact that Glass Onion takes place on a Greek island and there's a character named Cassandra who speaks only the truth but no one believes her then a woman named Helen who brings the downfall of what seemed to be an untouchable empire

Today I was peeing in a public restroom and overhead a bunch of women with babies st the basins talking about how much they wished genderless toilets existed because it would make caring for children all that much easier.

Their arguments was that caring for children is easier when you can have two parents nearby, especially when you need to manage multiple children. Not only that, another one added, but sometimes single fathers need to help little daughters go to the toilet and are faced with the choice of 1) occupying the disabled people toilet or 2) risking taking their little girls into men's restrooms and having her see someone at a urinal because that's the only way they can keep a proper eye on them. And another one complained that sometimes she needs to change her crying baby's diaper while her little girl needs to go to - and all of this would be easier if only mums and dads were allowed in the same spaces at the same time.

And all I could think about while I finished peeing and heard this was that genderless public restrooms are a female need and would probably be an unanimously held feminist demand (similarly to reproductive rights) if it wasn't for radfems who are so gassed by their hatred towards men and trans people that they refuse to move forward with what should be a very simple and reasonable demand.

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?

leidensygdom

Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:

With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.

With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:

Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)
Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion
Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent
And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!

It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.

This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.

These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.

So, what can we do?

Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing.

Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it.

~~And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall~~

When Puppet History was like "some shit's just etched into the stars"

because it's not that it happened for a reason but just that maybe some calamities are bound to happen and it's not about you, and it doesn't mean you have to be okay with it or find some greater meaning in it if you don't want to, but it will still become part of you,

and how the meteor was like "this seems like a pretty great place to stop"

but the meteor stopping wiped out the majority of life on the planet,

but that catastrophe made it possible for everything we know now to exist,

like you and me and cats and kakapos and cherry soda and fanfiction and singing puppets,

and that meteor doesn't have any bearing on our day-to-day life but it does because even though we don't see it or talk about it or think about it or notice the scars from it, the fact that it is a part of our planet is inextricable from our daily existence,

it's a part of us, a part of all those things that made the meteor fall in love with this planet,

just like catastrophes and tragedies we experience in our lives may not be visible to those around us, and we may not even think about them all that often, they change the complete existence of us, and while the people who caused these things to happen to us may or may not have been acting with malicious intent, the event itself might sometimes be neutral, and even if it wasn't, being able to accept that thing as a part of you, even if you liked who you were before, you can't ever go back to that,

it's just not possible,

and it's okay and fine and good to accept who you are after that happened, it's okay to love who you are now and it's okay to still wish you could have seen that other you survive and it's okay to mourn them, it's okay to be sad for what you lost and glad of what you gained.

And you can't go back and that's okay too because that's the nature of the universe: to change and move and what's the end is also a beginning and every moment is fleeting and precious so tell people that you love them. Maybe that's sad and it's okay to cry and be afraid and love and be grateful all at once and no I'm not okay I'm just going to be crying over this dumb puppet show forever
