"I don't believe in GMs who only play for 4 years. You need at least 10 to be a GM in my eyes".
If you only ruled your first session - you're a GM.
If you're playing with the same party for a year - you're a GM.
If you're looking for another party because you were mistreated, or because your party don't have time, or for whatever other reason - you're a GM.
You stop being a GM on one condition only - if you're caring about your story more than about your players. Than you just need to write a book.
If you believe that quote, Iโm not actually a GM yet. ๐คท๐พโโ๏ธ
Please donโt wait until you think you know enough or have enough - youโre enough right now. This very moment. And the second you believe that (even a little bit) is when you should begin.
This hobby, this artform is only able to exist because people are willing to be Gamemasters.
Anyone who is trying to gatekeep the role of gamemaster is someone who's happy letting the whole of the ttrpg space wither because they're afraid that someone is going to come in and deny them whatever bullshit clout they feel like they've built up because they're old.
Just like any other creative talent GMing is something you build up overtime: you start out making a ton of mistakes, but you keep going until you learn how not to make mistakes so often, until eventually flying by the seat of your pants becomes actually flying. Royally fucking up is how you figure out what your creative voice is, and screw anyone who'd deny new GMs the chance at finding their voice.
OP I hope that was a hypothetical thing you were responding to, because if I someone said that to your face or a person you know I am so sorry and I am going to come down on them with a fucking battleaxe

Fuck it, OC Charm
After request to do so and also because I just think it's fun, I'm making some OC charms! First of is Lionel from my comic The Devil's Favourites !
Gonna sell him at Herofest 2023 in October and will put him online afterwards!
hey, how do you cope with people saying we only have a small amount of time left to stop the worst effects of climate change? no matter how hopeful and ok i am, that always sends me back into a spiral :(
A few different ways
Up until basically 2021 to now, all of the climate change models were based on the idea that our ability to handle climate change will grow linearly. But that's wrong: it's growing exponentially, most of all in the green energy sector. And we're finally starting to see proof of this - and that it's going to keep going.
And many types of climate change mitigation serve as multipliers for other types. Like building a big combo in a video game.
Change has been rapidly accelerating and I genuinely believe that it's going to happen much faster than anyone is currently predicting
But they will expand, as developing nations are widely undergoing a massive boom in infrastructure, development, and quality of life - and as they collaborate and communicate with each other in doing so
3. Every country, state, city, province, town, nonprofit, community, and movement is basically its own test case
We're going to figure out the best ways to handle things in a remarkably quick amount of time, because everyone is trying out solutions at once. Instead of doing 100 different studies on solutions in order, we get try out 100 (more like 10,000) different versions of different solutions simultaneously, and then figure out which ones worked best and why. The spread of solutions becomes infinitely faster, especially as more and more of the world gets access to the internet and other key infrastructure
Yeah, you read that right.
Will it take a while? Yes. But we're mostly talking a few decades to a few centuries, which is NOTHING in geological history terms.
We have more proof than ever of just how resilient nature is. Major rivers are being restored from dried up or dead to thriving ecosystems in under a decade. Life bounces back so fast when we let it.
I know there's a lot of skepticism about carbon capture and carbon removal. That's reasonable, some of those projects are definitely bs (mostly the ones run by gas companies, involving carbon credits, and/or trying to pump CO2 thousands of feet underground)
The research into carbon removal has also just exploded in the past three years, so there are almost certainly more and better technologies to come
There's also some promising developments in industrial carbon removal, especially this process of harvesting atmospheric CO2 and other air pollution to make baking soda and other industrially useful chemicals
I know many musical fans are also gamersโข so Iโm surprised I havenโt seen much fuss about how a whole orchestra made a full version of Scientist Salarian with THE Will Roland from Dear Evan Hensen and Be More Chill as Mordin himself (and he is amazing at it)
I just had the most surreal experience leaving the Theater after watching Barbie.
I got on the subway and had to hear a group of dudebros on a rant of misogynistic stuff like:
"Uhhhh yeah she's WELL ENDOWED"
"My mom wouldn't leave so I couldn't fuck her"
"I tried to get her in highschool but she was such a lonely weirdo"
It was like going to The Oracle of Delphi, have the Oracle tell me "Your hat shall be taken by the claws of an eagle!" Then as soon as I make a step outside the temple witness an eagle come down and steal my hat away.
Once feared throughout the land, a great and terrible dragon grew tired of being endlessly hunted for his hoard and faked his death with the aid of a glory-hungry gnomish bard. Living on for centuries in the guise of a street cat, the dragon is now a hair's breadth from resuming his rampaging ways after the bard's descendants have lost the fortune he gave over to them for safe keeping.

I'll admit that this one has cemented itself in my psyche
Three points from this article I really want people to take away from it:
1.
"There often comes a pivotal point during radicalization when a person first faces the consequences of their extremism when they have to decide whether to make amends and reintegrate themselves into their communities or to double down, retreating further and further into a self-reinforcing universe of alternate facts and realities."
2.
"The โconcerned parentโ trope in news articles has emerged as one of the most pernicious forms of American anti-trans propaganda, according to Dr. Julia Serano, the famed trans writer and biologist. โThese pieces strike trans-unaware audiences as โfair and balancedโ because they seem to show โall sidesโ of the story,โ Serano wrote recently in a piece about how even mainstream publications like The New York Times and The Atlantic have frequently elevated the voices of non-affirming parents while obscuring those parentsโ ties to extremist anti-trans organizations. โThese articles make it seem as though these parents simply want whatโs best for their child,โ Serrano wrote, โwhen in actuality these parents are heavily invested in disaffirming and suppressing their childโs trans identity.โ
3.
โIf thereโs adults in your life or if thereโs people in your life or friends or whoever the fuck that you love, that youโre worried about losing over this, and if youโre likeโฆ โif I come out this person might abandon me,โ thatโs their decision that theyโre making,โ Renton says. โThat is 100% not on you. It doesnโt mean youโre fucking bad. It doesnโt mean youโre wrong. It doesnโt mean thereโs something broken with you. That is someone else being fucked up.โ โUltimately, community will find you, and you will find community, whether it feels impossible or not,โ he says. โWeโre not going anywhere.โ
This article is very long and I suggest you read it
kinda rude of NASA to tell me โyou live in the center of a magnetic anomalyโ and โyou are making all our satellites failโ and โwe are going to call the SCP Foundationโ Iโm jus just chilling with my tererรฉ here god leave me alone
hi! What is peer respite?
hi anon! I love talking about peer respite :D
Peer respite is a community-based alternative to psych wards. They offer 24/7 short term crisis stabilization-usually for around a week to 2 weeks. Unlike psych wards, they are completely voluntary and all the staff are people with experience with mental health/extreme states/being in the mental health system. Staff are extensively trained in peer support and mental health first aid, and oftentimes staff members will have other degrees in mental health or healthcare related fields. Usually, peer respite is in a house and it is a homelike environment where you can leave at any time, can have visitors, can have your phone, and can bring comfort items and preferred activities. At peer respites, there are no restraints used, no strip searches, and no solitary confinement.
Each peer respite is a little different, but I can tell you about one that my friend works at who is a social worker with lived experience of psychosis! When people decide to come to the peer respite, they usually make a plan for how they want their stay there to look like. Peer support workers will lead optional life skills/coping skills groups throughout the week, as well as other group activities for anyone who wants to participate. There is self-advocacy education, crisis planning options, and art wellness activities. Everyone is assigned a personal support worker who they can go to any time they need a check in or one-on-one support. Staff and guests work together to cook meals, and the entire stay is free of cost.
Since peer respite is an alternative to the psychiatric systems, most peer respites do not provide traditional therapy or psychiatric medications. Most peer respites will work with you to set up outpatient therapy services if you're interested, and I know a lot of people who continue to see the outpatient providers that they already have throughout their stay at peer respite.
A lot of people who go to peer respite have really positive experiences, and there's been several studies done looking at the outcome of crisis stays at peer respite. A lot of people speak positively about the homelike environment, being able to get emotional and crisis support without the fear of institutionalization, and being able to have autonomy about what your days look like, what choices you make, and what healing looks like to you. Some people stay at peer respite and are still able to go to school or work for the week while knowing that they have a safer environment to go back to.
Peer respite is not a perfect solution for everyone's experience of crisis. If you need a longer term stay, are looking for immediate clinical therapy, are someone who is searching for immediate medication support, or who needs immediate physical medical care--peer respite might not be able to meet your needs. Each peer respite house is going to be different, have different staff and visitors, and different policies, and some people might just not feel comfortable in a particular peer respite house. It's shitty and I hope this changes, but some peer respite houses are inaccessible, will have policies around drug use that might prevent people from staying, or have policies that prevent people who are homeless from staying. So, peer respite definitely isn't a perfect solution or something that can meet everyone's crisis needs, but is a really cool option that I hope continues to become available in more states.
