Okay, I just added a corollary to the Bechdel test: Two men talking to each other about the female protagonist of an Alice Munro story in a screenplay structured on a Jane Austen novel = pass. #FireIsland #BechdelTest

My LGBTeen section went viral bc some bigots thought it and our inclusive kids books were "indoctrination." So here it is again, still gay as all hell, not going anywhere. Support your libraries, folks!

One of the biggest false narratives about tabletop games is that women, queer people, and gamers of color are somehow a new phenomenon. They've ALWAYS been here. They just got shut out of the hobby by gatekeeping losers like Ernie Gygax.

It's funny watching the narrative on here shift in real time from "Maybe there should be more space for romance in ttrpg" to "if your PC's aren't banging it out constantly you're a prude who only wants to do OSR Dungeon crawls".
