I'm not able to come by here very often these days, but for inexplicable joy, read this thread.

@PrincetonVice @KirkThatcher AND he’s been “Spock pinch”ed on the silver screen!

Was hoping to get it posted this morning, but should be later tonight🤞

@BadMedicalTakes Gotta love when @swear_trek chimes in.

If Twitterrific is permanently dead on iOS, my Twitter use is gonna go way down. I want to see a chronological timeline of people I’ve chosen to follow, not random clickbait crap.

@emberisolte Much better out than in!

@IllumiCyberwear I legit cannot believe that’s filament printing. I’m blown away!

@PinkFohawk @roguecaliber Speaking as someone who had hip replacement in their 20s, and whose knees are going out now, those chair lifts are looking better and better. Especially now that the nearest Delta ‘ware clinic stopped returning my calls.

I'm getting tested before and after the event. 100% willing to abide by all these restrictions, but still pissed that this could all have been unnecessary by now, and still appalled by other events not taking this so seriously.

[Sister Usagineko, Catgirl of Battle @mikailborg]

I am going to an event this weekend. I will be masked the whole time. The event has capped its attendance low and requires masks and proof of vaccination. Panel seating has been altered so attendees do not sit close to each other or to panelists. Guest numbers have also been cut.

Um, hello, some movie props - especially ones the heroes will hold - are built to be 100% realistic, convincing, and sometimes even completely functional for their storyline purpose. They aren’t all made of foam rubber and duct tape.

I mean, as long as death is capable of informed consent and there’s good chemistry going on, sure

Tired: Still sewing cosplay the night before the con
Wired: Still 3D-printing cosplay the night before the con

I've said many times that I wish I could transition back and forth at will, to suit both the times I feel girly and the times I feel like a guy. The girly part of me is almost in tears over this timeline.

Who the hell wants One System to Rule Them All? Monocultures are BAD, yo. Part of the feel of every game setting is the rules system. Would I write a one-shot in which my Shadowrunners have to infiltrate PARANOIA's Alpha Complex? Yes! Is one ruleset perfect for both systems? NO.

OK, here we go, tonight's tweet that I'm riled up about and will threaten to overwhelm my notifications in the morning.

Let's talk about what an "Open Gaming License" actually is, and why it's a big-ish deal, and why this take is ALMOST it aside from the cult of personality.

[Sister Usagineko, Catgirl of Battle @mikailborg]

@JazzElves I mean, that’s a fair point, and all their Trek properties are printing money right now, so it might be worth it to them
