Jax O'Lantern has had a long day of splashing bandits🎃✨️

I'm Jax! I'm a writer and analog game designer focused mostly on horror, romance, and character-driven stories. Pronouns are she/they/fae. Itch: rufflejax.itch.io Microfic (mostly ES): bsky.app/profile/ruff... AO3: archiveofourown.org/users/ruffle... Everywhere else: linktr.ee/rufflejax

Hey remember that time I went to a godawful LessWrong Halloween party and forced one of the chief execs of MetaMed into my flowery cape? I still have that cape. Metamed died more than a decade ago and at least one of the founders is in the Epstein files (Michael Vassar, not pictured).

"... and in her dalliances she found that the shadow of her spurned love hung over each of her new paramours. She caught herself judging them by Her measure, trying and failing to force them into Her shape—for of course none of them could ever compare. It was cruel of her to let them try ..."

is full of sweet, pleasant, and unspeakable comfort to godly persons,

And the playspace felt so much more real with it! (sincerely, artist and tape dispenser)

Been sleeping on and off since 3pm yesterday and I'm honestly not mad about it

I want my foreign friends to understand the magnitude of this popular mobilization against fascism. 90-year-olds in wheelchairs, isolated Indigenous communities walking miles, and poor neighborhoods fighting for hours after far-right mayors halted buses to suppress votes. And we won.

codifying a concept im calling "virtuescaling", which is for tumblr girls, the way that powerscaling is for reddit boys. you virtuescale by listing all of the morally good traits a piece of media has and contrast them to a piece of media that you don't like. you can do it with characters too

trying to help a Hinge match understand that a digital copy of their brain being uploaded doesn't mean they're immortal now because they don't "get" to be the copy and their meat body will still die someday and really understanding why Catherine just gave up trying to explain that to Simon in SOMA

Read this thread. God it’s relieving to see someone who isn’t trans even mention that there are actual people being hurt

jax truly gives her most broken dollies to her toughest soldiers. this game was such fun
