This. Good code should make you go "oh...Oh that's CLEVER" Or "Oh shit... that's how that works!" These responses are genuine and human, and the same sort of 'oh that's how that brush stroke works!' from art. It's creative writing that DOES COOL THINGS.

All the people who are anti-Wii U or want to slow Wii U progress, we have one question: if the Wii U disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through a work day without Ultra Smash, Amiibo Festival, or any other Wii U title? Imagine the Wii U was suddenly banned. Would you actually give it up?

Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."

there are no words for what went down in berlin last night. i sat scrolling for hours refreshing news feeds, begging for the victims to end up alright. our chancellor jumped in immediately, when a year earlier and a kilometer away, he didn't want the reichstag building to "look like a circus tent".

i was chatting to someone on instagram who was talking about some struggles and then randomly hit me with the "but you've never felt pain so you wouldn't understand", and then when i said i've had depression since childhood, they said since it's "something natural", that means my life is "not hard"

This is my trans agenda

The most effective way to prevent trans adults is to eliminate trans children. The far right understands this, so the focus of its anti-trans strategy is to create an unlivable environment for trans children. Trans people also fully understand this. The democrats and mushy center don't understand it and react as if it's just reasonable "adult" things like transgenderism be kept out of schools and kids' media. They act as if those kids aren't trans already, in the schools already

Trans people are a wedge. Attacking gays stopped working, so Republicans attack trans people to get at gays. Trans minors are the wedge of the wedge. They pick on the subgroup that can't defend themselves and which Democrats are least likely to stand up for

To Democrats, this is a reasonable "compromise". Let go on the trans children, focus on the more winnable rights for trans adults.

For trans adults this is obviously, axiomatically unacceptable because *we are all ex-children*. Anything done to children is something that was done to our past selves

Somewhere right now there is a ten-year-old child who is, for all practical purposes, me. She is experiencing something she cannot explain or yet understand. She is in an unfriendly environment (Texas? Alberta?) that does not help her understand, punishes her when she tries to figure it out herself.

When I see trans children being legislated away, I think: I care more about what happens to this child than what happens to me. I want her to reach forty-one without being broken and damaged, like I am from all the things cis people did to me. I want the next me to have a better life than this one.

Happy Transgender Day of Visibility, everyone! We want Tiny Life to be a game where everyone can express themselves and their identity freely, including their gender, and feel safe and accepted. ❤️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈❤️

A screenshot of Tiny Life (an isometric low-resolution pixelart game) where three Tinies are sitting in a rec center: two adults and one child. The walls have a transgender pride flag, as well as a rainbow poster with a black fist hung on it. There are balloons with the transgender flag colors in the corner. One of the Tinies is wearing transgender flag face paint, while another one is wearing rainbow flag face paint.
