okay but I did not know that there is a story about f. scott fitzgerald nervously showing ernest hemingway his penis because zelda said he couldn’t satisfy a woman with it and ernest hemingway was like “lol no dude you’re fine”

what are the modernists even

the best part of that story in context is that before they pull out their dicks, hemingway spends the better part of a chapter physically describing fitzgerald in great detail, claiming to be grossed out by him but obviously, obviously uncomfortably attracted

oh my god, it got better. I just went to find an excerpt and

Scott was a man then who looked like a boy with a face between handsome and pretty. He had very fair wavy hair, a high forehead, excited and friendly eyes and a delicate long-lipped Irish mouth that, on a girl, would have been the mouth of a beauty. His chin was well built and he had good ears and a handsome, almost beautiful, unmarked nose. This should not have added up to a pretty face, but that came from the coloring, the very fair hair and the mouth. The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more.

ernest hemingway calm down and control your thirst a little

“The mouth worried you until you knew him and then it worried you more“ is a hell of a line

“I’m in favor of immigrants who come to America to not do anything remarkable, who just hang out and sometimes spend time with their friends and family, who are flawed, regular people. I’m in favor of immigrants who don’t have to be superheroic or economic martyrs to justify access.”

Visually impaired tabletop merch!

[Image description: A tweet from Dots RPG product, @DotsRPG, reading: “Help us spread the word about @DotsRPG! We are bringing #braille rulebooks, #rpgdice, and various gaming aids to the #blind and #visuallyimpaired. Head to our site, shapeways shop (bit.ly/2ugzieM) or thingiverse (bit.ly2GfwEaH) to get your own braille #dice!” 

Below that is a photo of a polyhedral dice set with a D4, D8, 2 D6s, 2D10s, a D12, and a D20 in green. All dice have raised edges about each face. The D4 and D6s have the braille for a number preceding each number while the D8 and above have textured edges to denote the bottom of most faces.]

This seems pretty cool so far. Apparently they had some input from a visually impaired person that inspired the project in the early stages but that person unfortunately passed away. Looking at their Twitter they do seem to be taking feedback from visually impaired users though!

The dice that are available to purchase are unfortunately pretty expensive (>$50 for a set) but that price is set by the people doing the 3D printing for them and they are working on that.
