Halford stay my killing arm!

On Twitter just now there was a post about "what do you wear on your feet around the house?" I and several other people answered "shoes."

Which sent one asshole off. Because we're filthy animals who smear dog feces and urine all over our homes, and nobody wears shoes inside!

Cue several people - including me - explaining that for medical reasons, yes, we do wear shoes at almost all times. Walking barefoot is painful for me, not to mention dangerous because I can't feel my feet!

What followed was some of the most ableist, germophobic bullshit I have ever read. None of us really needed shoes, we were all living in heaps of filth, and of course, we were all lying about our various disabilities.

I muted him when he started with the gif reactions, which are the white flag of Twitter. Muted, not blocked. Because if I just mute them, They can still see what I write and reply, but I never see it. It drives them absolutely mad!

This would be possible in Shadowrun, come to think of it.

There's a thing starting on Twitter calling for people to draw their D&D character wearing their player's current clothing.

I can't draw for shit, but I love the image of Tusker, my half-orc Paladin of Bane, wearing my crossing guard uniform with a stop sign tied to his glaive.

I imagine that Tusker would show little restraint in dealing with crosswalk blockers. . .

"Foul spawn of Honda! Bane has declared that the limit line is at the stop sign, which is behind you, and now you impede the path of those I've sworn to protect! Feel the wrath of the Tyrant!"

So, that's 1d10+4 slashing, plus 1d8 radiant, and I'm going to burn a spell slot for Improved Divine Smite, adding another 5d8. . .
