@RevGrey @crazypastor A flag is the veil in the temple that stands between a person and God's presence. If we want, it can protect us from that awesome and fearful relationship, even as it *appears* that we turn our face to the holy of holies when we worship.

@MountainDew Voltage in cans. I'm powerless to get it anywhere near me. I'd be happily shocked to see it come back!

Also Throwback. I want to Throwback to a time I could find it.

End poverty for over 4 million children and reduce child hunger by 25%+. Tell Congress to extend the direct-payment Child Tax Credit!

@lura_groen I'm sorry for my complicity in the racist status quo. Thank you for educating me and loving me enough to believe I can change. I look forward to working with you on something new.

@lura_groen And why did Linda, a Black woman, have to ask forgiveness for colonial practices?

@LoveLoudlyNC @PilgrimAugsburg Are we not called to a ministry like Jesus's? Did he not do both?

Nearly everyone who accuses others of having a radical leftist agenda belongs to a religion founded by a man with a radical leftist agenda.

@JeremyECrawford Does truesight negate the whole invisible condition, or just the 1st bullet that mentions being seen (leaving the 2nd bullet intact—adv/disadv for attacks—even though the invisible creature can be seen by truesight)?

@TheDMPastor Cavalier stands out in my favourite D&D supplement as the least original piece. But I am grateful they left open the mounted, non-magical warrior niche so I could finish & release Equestrian 😉

[Br. Ryan W. Roberts, OLF (he/him) @puxah]

For over 3 years, I've been developing a class for 5e D&D to feature mounted combat. I finally feel it's ready for the world's eyes. I hope you'll give it a look and consider using it in your game!

@TheDMPastor I guess there's a reason Mystic fell off the UA conveyor belt. Cavalier really lost me when they made Sentinel feat & Protection fighting style redundant and gave infinite OA. It just feels like lazy design. It's the first thing I've ever banned at my table.

[Br. Ryan W. Roberts, OLF (he/him) @puxah]

@TheDMPastor @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD @JeremyECrawford In addition, you can take a mount into a dungeon with the Equestrian. The mount gets no-penalty squeezing at level 2.

[Br. Ryan W. Roberts, OLF (he/him) @puxah]

@TheDMPastor @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD @JeremyECrawford Equestrian makes the mount durable and more than just mobility. It's a real partner in battle, exploration, and even social pillars.

[Br. Ryan W. Roberts, OLF (he/him) @puxah]

@TheDMPastor @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD @JeremyECrawford I'd been in development for a while when XGtE was published. I was grumpy that they used one of my feature names and essentially the same effect. (Also, I was calling my class Cavalier, so that had to change.) Fortunately for me, they stopped short of actually making a cavalier.

[Br. Ryan W. Roberts, OLF (he/him) @puxah]

@TheDMPastor @dms_guild @Wizards_DnD @JeremyECrawford Where to start? It basically just made an OP fighter that could go entirely horseless and not change your experience at all. It's not a cavalier! Equestrian centers the mount/rider relationship. Same-turn actions with your mount make tactical riding real.

[Don’t Boo…Revolt! @BreeNewsome]

Why is it necessary to kidnap people into unmarked vans under suspicion of property damage if it’s not necessary to arrest cops who’ve committed murder?

This is pure political repression by the state; police have license both to murder us & use force against us when we protest.
