"At the root of this is the American obsession with self-reliance, which makes it more acceptable to applaud an individual for working himself to death than to argue that an individual working himself to death is evidence of a flawed economic system." I saw these ads, still do, and they make me sick. Employers are determining that they can pay for the service, not for the person, and since that's economically viable for them, they'll keep doing that. This is why we need regulation and social welfare and and programs.
Let me tell you about
One Note!
It’s free, available on Mac or PC, has an app for your phone and is fucking amazing.
It’s all the fun of an old school binder, including tabs, sub pages and images, entirely in a digital easy to edit space. It’s great for people who want to keep large campaign binders but ink is expensive yo, and this is available to edit and make changes at any point throughout your day.
I’ve got an example here of my section for the world map of my campaign setting, and the individual pages for the individual locations. Then I’ve got the faction page I made with each faction’s individual page and symbol. Then you’re shown a look at a individual faction page as an example.
You can also password protect sections you don’t want anyone besides yourself, the DM, to have access to meaning you’re free to share this binder freely with your players.
Your players can have your entire campaign setting, where they’ve been, the npcs, the factions, etc. available at their finger times that updates in real time. It can sync between all your devices too.
I can not recommend one note any more highly for D&D prep and planning. It is seriously a life saver.

Dwarves shit huge and pee little… elves pee large and shit barely at all
Dwarves work in mines, their kidneys are in overdrive clearing all of the toxins and heavy metals they come into contact with. Their diet is mostly high efficiency foods, such as meat and fat and mushrooms. They probably don’t get a lot of plant matter in their diets.
Meanwhile elves’ diet is almost 100% plant matter (and all of the fiber that comes along with that) and their lifestyle is obsessed with fresh air, clean water, and a pure environment.
Face the facts: dwarves pee huge and shit little, and elves shit large and pee barely at all
Happy holidays from TPG! This season give yourself the gift of self-love and self-forgiveness <3 <3 Because you’re right as rain in my book <3
taika using led zeppelins “immigrant song” as a focal point in thor where the asgardians reflect the plot of the song as over the course of the film they develop from being the violent, murdering, gallavanting norse colonizers of old to literally becoming immigrants seeking out new lands to take refuge in based on newfound principles of peace love prosperity and empathy with thor at their helm acknowledging that his family is guilty of a horrific imperialistic dynasty and that hes responsible for making amends, albeit this time these concepts are all the more meaningful for involving a visibly multicultural cast with taika’s superb direction as a politically outspoken indigenous activist and artist
In 1992, a man named Wu Anai, near a Chinese village in Longyou County, based on a hunch, began to pump water out of a pond in his village. Anai believed the pond was not natural, nor was it infinitely deep as the local lore went, and he decided to prove it. He convinced some of his villagers and together they bought a water pump and began to siphon water out of the pond. After 17 days of pumping, the water level fell enough to reveal the flooded entrance to an ancient, man-made cave!
The cave has twenty-four rooms. There are pillars, staircases, and high ceilings over 30 meters (98 ft!) up. The work was done by humans, we know, because they left visible chisel marks in uniform bands of parallel groves. With over 30,000 square meters of space, all meticulously chiseled, this would have been a huge undertaking. Even if people were simply enlarging caves which already existed, it would still have required a lot of manpower working in a coordinated system for a long period of time.
Since the project would have been so large, it seems amazing that no record of it exists in China’s extensive written history. But there is not a word. Based on the cave alone, it is estimated to have been completed around 200 BCE, near the Qin Dynasty or Han Dynasties.

Dungeon Master Essentials
I decided to make a list of DM stuff that I personally use or think are important to know when it comes to being a DM. So here’s my list:
Medieval Fantasy City Generator: This generator is now my LIFE. It generates incredibly complex cities with good customization. (Thanks to plantkat for sharing this site in their post here)
Naming Your Towns/Cities: Now that you’ve made your city, time to name it and give it some character! This post contains lots of great information.
Index Cards Rule: Fuckyeahdnd shared a SUPER convenient way of keeping track of turns and HP in combat. I use this system now for every single session I run.
Tricks & Traps: I am AWFUL at coming up with good Dungeon traps and challenges, this PDF includes some incredible ideas. The original poster, Courtney C. Campbell also runs a blog where they share tons of great stuff. (Thanks to we-are-rogue for sharing the PDF in their post here)
Playing Different Types of Characters: Writeinspiration has a masterpost on how to write/play lots of different types of characters.
Unique NPC Jobs: Lauraharrisbooks wrote a list of different Fantasy Jobs which can help populate your world with some unique characters! Another similar post by Thewritershandbook also covers Common Occupations in the Middle Ages.
Developing Characters by Threes: Monticusrex’s method of creating characters help you really flesh out who they are. Useful for Players and DM’s.
Troublesome Players? Speak Up: Dicebound brings up an incredibly great point. If someone is being a jerk, speak up and call them out. This is especially important and relevant now to crush awful behavior before it even has a chance to show it’s ugly face.
List of D&D Resources: And finally, pretty much anything you might need for D&D. (Character stuff, spells, online communities/ways to play, etc..) A lot of people contributed to this post but thank you Mushroomancy for posting the original list.
Donjon: And finally, this site is a great resource for looking up Spells and Monsters along with tons of other generators. Not every single Spell or Monster is on here, but most are listed.
(I tried to give credit to the original posters or the actual URL for websites, unless those sites or URLs were no longer active)
So, not only is this hella rad, but Larry Hama's “I embrace the term (social justice warrior). It was coined to be a put-down, but I don’t see anything wrong in being a “social justice warrior.” Isn’t that better than being a “a vigilante with remorse?” is a kick-ass way of putting it.
JIM HENSON USED THE KERMIT THE FROG PROTOTYPE TO MAKE ADS IN THE 1950′S-60′S?? THEY’RE ALL CURSED AND IM AFRAID TO WATCH THEM . GOD HELP ME
