Talarico’s argument is simple: Stop treating marijuana like a crime.

Legalize it. Regulate it. Tax it.

Stop wasting police resources on low-level marijuana offenses.

Clear the records of people whose lives have been derailed by nonviolent marijuana convictions.

Thanks everyone for sharing and/or backing this campaign. So far, I’m handmaking just under 300 zines. I’m so excited to return to my past, printing, cutting, and folding.

This one closes tomorrow.
Just launched: Press Pot Games' Mini Handmade #TTRPG #Zine Anthology Bundle

In this, you can grab a bundle of 4, single-sheet, 8-fold zines, hand folded by me! Or you can grab a PDF and print on your own.

You'll find games about a cat, a mosh pit, and a revolution. It's my love letter to my past.

I just returned from our local library. I am still awed by the whole idea of libraries. Borrow a book and bring it back. So many books. Thank you Mesquite Library!

This is veteran Thomas Begay, one of the last two living Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. The Trump Administration is removing Navajo Code Talkers from military websites as part of its DEI purge.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

Don't miss this!!! Travis's games are amazing!

The Portal at Hill House, the first solo game I ever played, was so foundational for me.

Also, my scenario for "this world is not yours" was the first time my writing ever appeared in a printed game! It's about a tenement house in underwater Glasgow.
I'm trying to figure out my space in the indie #TTRPG and game design world, so I'm clearing space in my house.

I'm hosting my first ever sale:

-> 50% off all of my physical zines/RPGs
-> Discount code is "GETOUT"
-> Ends March 3rd

Head to presspot.games/store to grab stuff.
Please share!

Open message to Elon Musk:

Rumors are swirling that you’re spending $40 million on Super Bowl ads targeting USAID. If there were truly fraud, wouldn’t you not need to spend millions trying to convince people?
