Artolomé, Our Lady Of Valour. It is in her nature to be just, to protect those who cannot protect themselves, and to be the blazing light of truth, who holds the sun in her palms.
She was, it is said, once a mortal, and attended in the court of the previous god of Law and Good after her first death, before ascending upon the abdication of her predecessor.

There are many gods of my Pathfinder setting, and here is the first to be fully illustrated. This is Artolomé, the LG goddess of truth, justice and so forth. She’s pretty nice, if a bit overly-pedantic.

Discord changed their TOS to disallow class-action lawsuits and enforce arbitration. It’s possible to opt out but you have to email them at arbitration-opt-out@discord.com with the email you signed up with, within 30 days. The devs are spinning it as protection from frivolous suits, but in all likelihood it’s a precursor to a move toward selling your personal info like other social media sites.

if you need an explanation of why arbitration is bad see below

https://consumerist.com/2014/02/25/why-you-should-opt-out-of-forced-arbitration-in-3-sentences/

Here’s a useful copypasta from redditors 3ybex and CreatorKami (Compiled by me)

Dear Discord,

By this email, I am opting out of the agreement to arbitrate as authorized by the new changes to the Discord Terms of Service Agreement.

I DO NOT AGREE TO THE AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE FOR THE ACCOUNT(S) LISTED/DESCRIBED BELOW:

XXXXX#XXXX (Your discord name and #number), and in the event I should change my username or discriminator, ID XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXX (Your e-mail)
+X XXX-XXX-XXXX (Your SMS/Phone and country-code. +1 for United States)

Please let me know immediately if there is additional information needed to implement my opt-out request. Finally, I would like to ask for a written confirmation that you have received and processed this notice.

Sincerely,
XXXXX XXXXX

To find your ID, follow CreatorKami’s instructions below:

“The reason being, if you change your username or the 4 digit discriminator after your name, this email is no longer valid in a legal court of law because it isn’t the same anymore as what you sent in your opt-out. The only ID that is unchanging between each Discord account is the hidden ID. I’m sure most people know where to find it, but just in case, go to your settings > appearance, turn on Developer Mode, and then right click your own name in a server userlist. At the very bottom, you’ll see the option to Copy ID.”

A wonderful piece about fandom history, friendships, and legacies.

Dee called AO3 a “candy store,” and said the fan art she has seen, in particular, has been overwhelming. “I cannot get over the art,” she said. “We would have jumped at this. I would’ve given my right tit for all this art when I was in my twenties. Because you couldn’t reproduce it, you couldn’t send it out, but [now] there’s this fabulous art coming out every single day.”

Yes. Yes. Yes.  This is how it happened.  Excellent article.

Thanks to the author for permission to share this here, and for being
just a really nice human being, and big thanks to the artist who did my
mom’s portrait, above. -Zachary

I finally managed to get hold of a copy of my dissertation! You can read it on Google Docs HERE. Please feel free to download and cite the work if it helps you with your own studies. 🙂

You guys, this is 70 pages of analysis of tumblr language and you should probably read it. I know I’m going to.

I’m sold on the strength of the table of contents alone

Hadelmach, The Twisted. It is in her nature to labour unceasingly, to reap what she has sown, and to dwell in pristine darkness. She is the patron deity of the Sunless Isles, a society of Gaunts that, despite their worship of an evil god, threw off the rule of their God-Emperors (distantly descended from Hadelmach herself) in revolution, and now are far friendlier to outsiders than they used to be. Hadelmach’s more ‘positive’ influences and rituals have become preeminent among the cold, rain-soaked cities of the Isles, and what effect that will have upon the goddess over the centuries remains to be seen.

The Sunless Isles are a very interesting and friendly place.
