Hey everyone sorry I’ve been quiet for a bit but I’m back because we really need help. I know some of you had started following the stories I started sharing about our life as queer refugees but I haven’t been able to post another update lately because I’ve had serious issues with my internet and account. It’s been hard just staying connected. Tho we had really a pressing problem and emergency

We’re still in Juba a small group of us queer refugees who escaped to find some safety. But we’re now facing a new emergency. We don’t have beddings no mattresses, no mosquito nets and it’s gotten worse because some of our people have already fallen sick with malaria. We’re trying to care for them with almost nothing. We sleep on bare floors in the cold and there’s no food left. We’re trying to raise almost 589$ to get basic things for us. Please find the support link in my bio or profile. If you can help with anything donation, sharing this post or even just words of encouragement please know it means everything to us. I’ll keep sharing updates when I can but this moment is really tough and we need our community. Thank you so much

With gratitude, Cyara Kaira

A more simple time

20 hours old in this photo. Mama is taking care of them, just grabbing a snack so this is the first proper look we got at them.

Is this the same as watching your own poop flush down the toilet?

Hello nice people.Hello nice people.

I recently lost access to reddit :( and therefore I lost my favorite community 4tran4 :( which I'll miss dearly, those were most beautiful people in the world. And with that I also lost my support group.

I'm hoping somebody here would be able to give me some recommendations.

What I'm looking for is slightly dooming community, people who are not super cheery but rather somehow depressed,

What I'm looking for is slightly dooming community, people who are not super cheery but rather somehow depressed, slightly toxic but always good to each other. Supportive, but when somebody is being stupid they would tell them. Not overly affirming, not celebrating every fetish under the world, calling out BS... but still nice to each other.

Can somebody recommend me something? please

Hey, Lemmy!

I’m a somewhat experienced TTRPG designer and my latest project is an RPG based on the first generation of Pokémon games.

You can download the complete game for free here:

https://heavenlyspoon.org/pocket-monster-adventures/

My focus was on ease-of-play and simple prep. Many of the other Pokémon RPGs out there seemed to involve a lot of overhead—especially for the GM. I prefer a more improv-heavy game, and having to do a lot of prep makes that basically impossible. 

Sticking to gen 1 made it so I could keep the scope small enough to allow for simple encounter tables, pre-prepared Pokémon sheets for every Pokémon, and a simple set-up for every Pokémon controlled by the GM.

The game is designed to be played with one GM and two or three players, and every aspect of the original games has been changed where needed to accommodate this.

I don't know how much interest there is for this kind of thing, but hopefully at least someone will get some joy out of it!

Found this little eastern worm snake adrift at "sea" on my pool thermometer and airlifted it to shore. It must have entered ~~fight, flight, or~~ freeze mode, poor thing, because it was a good 10 minutes before it departed its makeshift raft.

PS, I do have escape platforms for critters in the pool but the dumdums never seem to use them. Then again, I'm obviously not getting to meet the ones that did find and use them.

PPS, I can't get over how teeny this little one is! I'm experiencing some acute cute aggression!
