I like how he can’t even express an intent to protect women without undermining our consent.

AFAIK

lol, turns out that’s not very far

First and foremost, open, honest communication is always the top priority if you’re trying to support someone through any complicated thing. Check in with her regularly to make sure she feels supported rather than pressured.

Also, I think framing things as suggestions is probably the root of the concern here. I would back off of that.

Learning and sharing what you’ve learned can be helpful. Suggesting a course of action, especially if you have not been asked to make a suggestion, can undermine her autonomy.

The primary way trans people are attacked as they transition is having their autonomy questioned, undermined, and rejected. Usually this is from people who oppose their transition, but it is also entirely possible to encroach on her autonomy by telling her how you think she should transition.

I too would love to vote for AOC, which is precisely why her endorsement matters to me.

I trust her judgment enough to want to elect her, so I also trust her judgment that the best path forward right now is to support Harris.

The headline is a straight up lie. As per the article itself, it was conceived of in 1966 and experimentally confirmed in 2020.

I love using magic items in place of house rules. It makes it easier for everyone when “house rules” are explicitly spelled out in an item description, and helps prevent players from being confused or surprised about which rules do and do not get enforced and in which way.

To contribute my own D&D 5e specific example: I like to have enchanted weapons that each have access to one or two battlemaster maneuvers per short rest. e.g. Quarterstaff of Tripping (trip attack) or Commander’s Longsword (Commander’s Strike). To keep it simple, I use the weapon’s damage die as the superiority die.
