Links: disturbing but good
Jul. 3rd, 2018 06:01 pmThis game contains absolutely no triggering material by Ben. Patreon link, but the pdf of this game is freely available to download and read. Not sure the game is actually meant to be played, except in the ways we're all playing it all the time when we are "innocent bystanders."
The Bible's #MeToo Problem by Emily M.D. Scott (who is a Lutheran pastor). Maybe if we asked church-goers about the women's perspective when they're raped in the Bible, they (the dominant men) would learn a little empathy.
Queer Time: The Alternative to “Adulting” by Sara Jaffe. "What constitutes adulthood has never been self-evident or value-neutral. Queer lives follow their own temporal logic." I hadn't thought about this, although it's self-evident once she says it. It give me a little more breathing room in my own life path.
Story! "The Minnesota Diet" by Charlie Jane Anders. Great illustrations. Inclusive, non-violent, and a chillingly possible vision of the future.
Wheat and Broccoli by![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kore which is mostly a lovely encouraging blockquote from How to Survive [the current] Presidency Without Losing Your Mind by Dahlia Lithwick. Contains a parable about surviving times of madness. (Gave some thought to ableist terms, and I think this one is earned. *winces* Maybe.)
"I want to scream at random people in the grocery store: How can you just be there, buying broccoli??? Can’t you see our representative democracy is on fire?
And then I realize I need broccoli so I go and put some in my cart."
And a couple of ways to help in these disturbing times:
VoteRiders helping people get voter IDs.
How You Can Support Detained Immigrant Families by Catherine Lizette Gonzalez.
This game contains absolutely no triggering material. This is both the title of the game, and the first rule of the game. Nothing that happens in this game is triggering to any of the players in any way. [...] P.S. To my fellow sufferers of PTSD: You probably have a creepy feeling about this game's title. Please allow that creepy feeling to serve you as a warning.
