Went to a doctor here in France. I didn't have health insurance yet. The Doc gave a me a thorough checkup and two prescriptions. Charged me 25 Euros. I went to the pharmacy for the prescriptions. Paid 10 Euros. Total expense: 35 Euros. The US health care system is an abomination.

@tlalchitonatiuh @b_hawk (To be clear Dungeon World's creators are white but the pdocast DM of None has some great episodes about other creators to support!)

[Will Biel @Tolkienalia]

@tlalchitonatiuh @b_hawk I love D&D & think the hobby is bigger than whatever corp currently owns it, but also I've been hoping to find groups to try other RPGs like Dungeon World, etc., which are riffing on D&D but indie owned/made by queer & BIPOC folx

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Some of the same folks who said “defunding huge PD budgets & shifting $ to schools is too hard to explain” are now saying “Well $1400 is actually $2k if you recall the $600 from a diff president, carry the 1- yes I know ads showed $2k checks, but thresholds-”

Just help people!

A #BlackHistoryMonth Lesson:

•#MalcolmX and my father, #MLK, were not enemies.

•His daughters and I are friends.

•Dr. #BettyShabazz and my mother, #CorettaScottKing, loved each other dearly.

•Brother Malcolm and my mother had a 1965 meeting in #Selma.

Trump’s border wall continues to disrupt wildlife and desecrate Indigenous land.

Our communities deserve better. Biden MUST tear down the wall.

I travelled the world in search of LGBTQ couples of color.

The experience changed my life, but I did it because I think their stories can change your life too.

In honor of Black History Month, I'm proud to announce that my book, Queer Love in Color, is available for preorder.
