Some Progressive Political Resources

The Action Network is online organizing tools, like those used by President Obama's team in 2008 and 2012 (it says so on their site). The goal is to facilitate grass roots activism by making it easy for activists to find each other, to sponsor or host events, and to just get things done.

The Progressive Independents G+ group. As you'd expect, a lot of people fed up with the DNC, but also just people wanting to organize and figure out how to keep Progressive goals on the political radar against the corporate lobbyists.

I'm a little less clear about the Working Families Party, but I have it on good authority that their main goal isn't so much to get their own candidates elected, as to help support and encourage Progressive candidates across the board. Specifically, they're organizing to pressure President Trump* to help all Americans, and generally do good deeds.**

The WFP say: "We need to stick together and defend our allies, friends, and neighbors against the Trump Presidency. It'll require hard work and a lot of organizing in our communities. If we want to build the seeds of a future that's safe and secure for everyone, we need to rise up together now."

(* Yeah, I threw up a little in my mouth just writing that.)

(** And by "do good deeds," I mean "don't be himself.")

Basic Fuckanomics

You're born with a ton of fucks to give. So you spend them like a kid with a credit card. You give a fuck about your friends, about your grades, about your fashion sense, about strangers opinions ..... you give away too many fucks about way too many things. You have so many. then, as you get older you have maybe ten fucks per month.... so you learn to budget them. You allocate fucks to your family and career, but there aren't enough fucks left to give the newest shit. So someone at work has something they need my help with that's outside my job title? I'll do my best to allocate some fucks, but this month is pretty tight. Then you get even older, so you're down to one or two fucks a month.... and those fucks are damn precious. You give them to your family, your hobbies, your job... and that's kind of it. It's not your fault fucks expire too quickly. I would have liked to save my fucks when I was younger, but I can't. Then you hit fuck insolve...

Slings for FHRPG

Some vids detailing historical use of slings. Again, in most version of D&D, this is a Simple Weapon that anyone can use. Halflings usually get some nice bonuses with slings, and some editions of D&D go absolutely bonkers with halfling-only sling feats that produce some damage potential to easily compete with longbows and crossbows. (I can't find the character sheet, but I had a 4e halfling ranger/rogue who, in natural terrain, take 5 foot step at the start of her turn, then use her sling to cause 5d6+4 damage. That was awesome.)
