I'm going to take a short break from BlueSky - all the awful news and such had been bad for my mental health. I wish anyone dealing with injustices peace. Keep your heads held high, chums! 🦸‍♀️🏆

This is part of reason I don't go to events. Plus, being disabled. If things were more inclusive and diverse, I'd likely have gone to plenty of events by now. Maybe in the future, things will be more... reasonable. That's a good word. Things aren't reasonable right now.

Another aspect of this is burden of representation - the expectation that women and queer folks need to fight to be heard despite not being the ones perpetuating the issue. A PR person tried to convince me that speaking at a convention is the only way I'd see equality. I blocked his email accounts.

I'm taking voice training and learning a lot about how we perceive voice so pieces like this are super-interesting. White male voices being perceived as dominant is a direct result of colonial oppression that simply never went away. The more we question stuff like this, the more equity we'll have. 🏆

Today, we honour the children who never came home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry this grief. We hold space for the ongoing realities of colonial violence, cultural genocide, and systemic injustice that Indigenous peoples face today.🧡

I can't reply to the post I just re-shared so I'll put this here: Another thing that's super-frustrating is that in most podcasts, the man drives the conversation while the woman merely chimes in. This is so prevalent that AI-generated podcasts all follow that formula. 🤦‍♀️ @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social

I feel this 1000% - been so hard to do the things I want to do to be more of the person I am when there's so much transphobia ingrained in the video game industry. It's like an invisible oppressive force is holding me back while that same force is waving pride flags in my face - ironic and painful.

My positive review of Garfield - Escape From Monday raised its Metacritic average but it wasn't quite enough to make it match the dog pee game. 🤏 I do important work. 😆

We had a fun evening. There was a 1-hour wait for bloodwork so we had hamburgers and ice cream at a couple of new places, saw the new baby guinea pigs at the pet store, picked up some fresh bread at the bakery, and then came back and got it done right away! 🍔🍨
