I got my doot on and performed a dramatic reading of Spooky Scary Skeletons. I did not stop to think whether I *should*, because I was preoccupied with whether I *could*.

#PDX locals!

My #capoeira group is starting a beginners-only 10-class series on Saturdays, 12:30-2pm, starting 10/19.

We're a very welcoming group for anybody of any race, gender, orientation, age, body type, etc. No experience necessary, and no high-level students to be intimidated by during this series (at least until you're ready), but after 10 weeks you'll be ready to train with the regular group.

If you or someone you know might be interested, DM me for details or with questions.

Can anyone give examples of "traditional" RPGs (in this case, let's say that "traditional" = "with GM") that aren't about adventure and/or investigation?

There might well be, but I always tend to think of games that are essentially about a group of people going on "adventures" (even if that means investigation and/or solving a mystery, a la Trail/Call of Cthulhu)...

Hey. We all know medical debt is a big problem in the USA.

Wanna do something about it?

Here's a charity that buys medical debt and forgives it in a way that keeps the people who owe that debt from owing taxes on having that debt forgiven. https://www.ripmedicaldebt.org/

Tell your friends. Tell your family. Tell people on the bus or train. Donate in your most racist and entitled relative's name and tell them you did it.

lord give me the Serenity to not respond to my mentions, the Courage to know i am always right online, and the WIsdom to know that everyone who disagrees is a jabroni

I'm trying to come up with a story involving Intelligence Agencies from several contemporary/near future African countries (I haven't decided which ones yet) attempting to work together.

Unfortunately, much as I enjoy spy stories, I can't think of anything actively involving African nations (except perhaps as the cliché bad guys).

Does anyone know of a any interesting source I could use? Either reality or fiction.

Part of why we say "solidarity not charity" is because the way charity is typically presented gives moral superiority to the givers - and often, moral inferiority to the receivers (or sometimes "takers," if they decide to be particularly transparent about it)

Truisms like "it is better to give than to receive" implicitly contain "it is wrong to receive help." It's wrong to ask for the support you need, to want it, even to accept it when offered. Panhandling, for instance, is often portrayed not just as shameful, but immoral - even greedy

Solidarity, and especially mutual aid, are meant to reject that dichotomy. Everyone at Food Not Bombs eats together, volunteers and otherwise, and talks to each other. Our Free Store puts "it's free because it's yours" all over its reading material - it's not a gift, not a blessing, not charity. And that makes *such* a big difference
