Wasn't in the headspace yesterday, but I wanted to ask. Who are y'all favourite trans creators in gaming? Game devs, writers, journalists, streamers, PR folk, anyone in and around video games that is cool and trans. If you don't have any, maybe look through the replies and find some to follow!

Abi in a black collared shirt and grey jumper with a black denim jacket over it. They’re wearing a brown hat with a cowboy on it. The hair on their upper lip is darkened, giving the appearance of a sparse moustache.

Abi in a long orange wavy wig with a full fringe. They’re wearing a black blouse with a bow. They have a subtle eyeliner wing and blush on their cheeks.

Abi with some real 90s-looking curtains. Their face is bare and they look sort of freckly. They’re wearing a faux-wool lined brown suede jacket.

In my experience (east-coast Ireland Wexford/Wicklow/Dublin), I wouldn’t say calling someone a yoke is *inherently* negative. Closer to being dismissive or cheeky, I guess? Like saying “whatsherface” or “so-and-so”.

As @kimkelly.bsky.social recently wrote, "To die a politicized death in America is to be forever denied peace." www.welcometohellworld.com/justificatio...

Her family will have to endure incursions by that warped, false version of reality as they mourn their wife, mother, and friend against a backdrop of cruelty and repression—just as Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, had to see her daughter’s corpse splashed all over social media by neo-Nazi trolls as she grieved. To die a politicized death in America is to be forever denied peace. Emmett Till's memorial sign has been repeatedly shot up and defaced; so has Black Panther Fred Hampton’s. Much of the media has refused to even acknowledge the murders of Palestinian journalists or the continuing genocide in Gaza, let alone memorialize the unfathomable loss. ICE has shot eight other people in the past four months, and killed four. A memorial to Heather Heyer in Charlottesville, VA was also vandalized in 2019, and community members must remain constantly vigilant to protect it. Even the dead aren’t safe, and preparations should be made to ensure that this latest martyr is protected in her eternal sleep.

I’m committing self-inflicted human rights abuses in the kitchen right now. I’m doing evil, dark-sided shit. A ghostly apparition of Julia Child just manifested in my home and choke-slammed me to the ground.
