Paizo: what should we do next after being outed for treatment of minorities and women that was so bad that our workers formed the first union in TTRPGs to protect themselves?

Paizo: let's add some white male friends of Lisa's to the exec team

unitedpaizoworkers.org/2021/11/04/upw…
here's the thing

you can "voluntarily" recognize a union (because your freelancers have essentially shut down your company's operations and your customers are canceling subscriptions en masse until you do it)

and still attempt to obstruct them in every way
companies have had a LONG time to learn anti-union tactics and not all of them are as obvious as hiring a union-busting law firm to investigate sexual harassment claims
"But Jim is gay!"

Yes, and I'm sure he's very nice.

That doesn't change that the company is stocking the exec team with white male friends of Lisa's.

Also I feel like I shouldn't have to say this, but a lot of white gay men in games are not exactly allies to other minorities.

I feel like a lot of social media has forgotten about how during the Bush era, evangelical Christians (including Bush) were pretty open about refusing to try to stop global warming and other environmental destruction because they wanted Jesus to come back in their lifetime.
Like, it’s interesting to me that we didn’t really see a resurgence of that rhetoric in the Trump era, given that his presidency represented the apex—at least, so far—of evangelical power and willingness to say the quiet part out loud.
I think the difference is that Bush was an enthusiastic Christian and represented the height of openly evangelical power.

Trump was the age of Qanon, of marketing evangelical norms to people who wouldn’t self-identify as evangelical (or even as Christian).

cool so I went to a coffeeshop to work for the first time in like two years and there are two guys sitting at a nearby table loudly discussing their faith and how they don't want to be like the Jews who let their "jealousy" of Jesus make them ignore the message

cool, cool
like it's not like I go looking for this stuff

this is a very normal coffee shop, like, I checked to make sure it wasn't secretly part of a church before I decided to audition it for my new Coffeeshop From Which To Work
oh cool there's an older couple at a table nearby loudly talking about how their immune systems can handle COVID just fine and they aren't getting a vaccine that hasn't been tested

interesting, since supposedly you have to show proof of vaccination to get into this coffee shop

Paperback-to-hardcover bookbinding project is almost done. Have a bunch of old paperbacks that I love and are falling apart, but I decided to do a trial run on a random book from my collection that is easily replaceable if it didn't work out. Image
Did some autumnal edge-gilding to start. I ended up not being super-happy with it--it's too casual/modern--but those were the stamps I had available at the time. I got some Victorian embellishments for the future. Image
Took off the cover, which was the scariest part because the spine glue was pretty cheap and fragile. Image

Max is very concerned that I am not feeling well

Almost his entire life has been in quarantine and I don’t get sick the way I did when I was working in an office, so he’s not used to me lying down and moping around during the day Image
Normally a hot bath fixes most of what’s wrong with me but the only bathtub is in my housemates’ bathroom

Turns out a tankless water heater and a shower large enough to lie down in make a decent substitute
HOLD STILL MOTHER

MAX WILL MAKE YOU BETTER

MAX WILL GIVE YOU MAXSSAGE™️

IT IS MASSAGE AND ACUPUNCTURE IN ONE Image

K-Stew was born to be an action hero, with steely stare and gritted jaw. Let her do her thing, and she's sublime.
just gonna quote the Toast here because obviously I cannot do better than the Toast; no one can:
"Kristen Stewart is Heath Ledger, I assure you. She has the same handsome face, the same winsome, masculine smile, the same reluctance to make direct eye contact."

‘Twas I!

I am she who wrecked the housing market!

‘Twas I who <checks notes> bought this house off-market, to live in, from investor for less money than if investors started a bidding war & stopped investor who owns the one next door from completing a row of rental properties.
You have found me out! I am an evil millennial wrecking the housing market for all those Boomers by buying a house Lo live in (with housemates!) and blocking poor retired people from buying a fifth home!
Won’t someone think of the poor investor who just wanted to turn this entire cul-de-sac into rental properties?
