I made this video on worldbuilding for games because I think a lot people who aren't designers don't know a lot about worldbuilding for games. Specifically, how to worldbuild for the gameplay. And the gameplay is the most important part of a game, as it turns out.

"Oh, Amai, then why does the gameplay in All the Promised Burn suck ass?"

Documenting the Damage: 100 Harmful Policies from the First 100 Days of Trump's Second Term

The second Trump administration has had the busiest first 100 days of any US presidency in nearly a century. Since January, I've been keeping a spreadsheet documenting 900+ policy changes and political developments. I then bundled many of the most important changes into 100 topics areas and wrote a summary of each of them, providing a semi-comprehensive account of the tremendous changes to US politics which have occurred.

Part III: Economy and Public Services 

Part IV: Environment and Energy

It's completely free, brilliantly made, and I am incredulous that it had been so narrowly shared on Tumblr.

I am in awe of what Brett has done here. Please click through and read at least some of this because I think people are really missing out on what an incredible tool this is.

There are a ton of things to panic about, to take immediate action about, to be outraged about - you shouldn't feel guilty about missing an HHS rule change while you're protesting ICE or having your gender erased - but part of why this document is so impressive is that it DID keep track of those changes and rollbacks that are blips in the news cycle, and it did so pretty much in real time. The fact that it was completed so soon after the first 100 days is staggering, and it's so incredibly useful to have this as a reference NOW instead of as a retrospective five years after the fact.

Really. Seriously. This is so fantastic. Please take a look at it.

That means that when you donate, it goes to change.org. Now, this isn't useless — it does mean that the petition gets boosted. However, you're pretty much doing the same thing by reblogging. I am concerned about people donating something like $40 dollars since I'm not sure if they realize it doesn't contribute to the legal fund or not.

Sign Petition EN7163 - Asylum for Gender and Sexual Minorities from the United States

There is a petition imploring the Australian government to take in LGBTQIA+ refugees from the USA. Given the rapidly worsening political situation over there, I want to at least give this a go. I don’t have any illusions that it will get through to the people that need to see it but I want to try anyway.

The petition closes in 8 days; if you aren’t Australian, please do me a solid and pass this around. Reblog this if you can. Thank you.

But also yes. Demonstrate at their homes. Demonstrate at their offices. If you see one of them at Denny's, go start shit. And then circulate that online. Republican Congresspeople should know no peace as long as the legislative branch is abdicating its responsibilities.

PROTESTS ARE HAPPENING. THEY ARE JUST NOT BEING COVERED OUTSIDE OF LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS. DO NOT RELY ON MAINSTREAM MEDIA.

It appeared from notes to be a bit rarer that people draw or write out of loving the work process itself. Lets find out!
