Whelp…. I've now signed up (and paid) for 3 months with a reverse recruiter. Let's see what happens, hope it gets me something within that time.

Uuuuugh!!! First rental application after my legal name change, and I'm getting a background check back saying denial due to lack of rental history. Because they didn't check under my disclosed F.K.A. (dead) name.

I can not overstate how utterly and completely disappointed I am. I expect *BETTER* Promoting a right wing hit piece on progressivism? FUCK everyone even slightly right of center. You assholes needed to stop the fucking NAZIS (MAGA) from taking over the GOP and failed. FIX YOUR OWN HOUSE FIRST.

I'm stating this on the record. If you are even COMPROMISING about Trans people, I'll not vote for you. I'll write in a 3rd party that I trust. If you lose the election to the "greater evil" this is YOUR fault for saying I'm not worth protecting. And Democrats? DO NOT BLAME LGBTQ+ when you lose.

I was just telling people this yesterday. VC dried up in Games, and went to AI, I saw it firsthand. It is yet another way AI has fucked over creatives. People with no artistic creativity were jealous and made a theft machine, and the VCs gave them all the money.

Just discovering the magic of a fine grain glass nail file. These are amazing for smoothing natural nails and preventing them being jagged and rough. (and cracking/splitting)

Nope, I'm off social media for the day.

Jade Strom🏳️‍⚧️ @jadedfox.net · 20/06/2026

And THERE it is…. rando sent me a friend request, and while it's taken over a week of humoring them, finally got the "would you like to commission me" pitch. At least the art they threw at me is all the same style and doesn't appear to be AI.

Nope, brain turned rancid (depression) time to sleep early.

Me at work as soon as I am done helping someone else while I had been having a mental breakdown of some sort.

Why is it whenever I am the most inspired and wanting to draw is when it's the LEAST convenient? Okay, at least I'm trying to push myself back into it!

Okay... that was amazing. I feel they really stuck the landing.

This has been going around, to be CLEAR, the Polygon article says that it's referring to PUBLISHING not Developing. So this isn't quite as bad as it seems. First Light was Self-Published by IO Interactive, future games will be published by Amazon. This does not rule out a sequel developed by IO.

I hope MrHappy is banned from future FanFests, and effectively persona non-grata with the entire dev team. Right wing people were viciously attacking Sena online, and they have no place in the FFXIV community. Get fucked fascist shits.

There *DESPERATELY* needs to be something like a Game Genie for modern consoles. Because some devs do *NOT FUCKING UNDERSTAND* difficulty. Is there *any* story in your game? Cool, make it an option so you can kill any normal enemy with a single hit. EVERY game needs "story" mode where you can win.

I think every assassination attempt against Trump has been real. His ego wouldn't allow him to take part in a fiction where someone doesn't like him, or that requires him to be seen running away.

@feybeasts.bsky.social Just as asked, you are awesome, talking to you makes me happy. I sincerely wish I was capable of doing VR more regularly, but my own mental stuff has me struggling. But you are a bright spot in my life.

That was fucking TERRIFYING and miserable… I just took an uber home, the driver was listening to conservative talk radio, misgendered me at least twice, loudly agreed with the radio's transphobic ranting, and was smoking during the drive.

Crosspost from Tumblr, regarding the energy required to actually initiate performing a task being higher than the energy the task actually then requires you to expend. ( www.tumblr.com/dykeselfcest... )

Text: "it is unfortunate that there's no reason for most people to remember high school chemistry because the best analogy I have found for "the amount of energy it takes me to initiate a task, which can be higher than the amount of energy it takes to actually complete the task" is "activation energy" and it's not precisely perfect, but.. (Then a picture is included of a graph, the Y axis being potential energy, the X being progress of reaction. As the line begins, the initial state (reactants) starts low, climbs high to reach a point indicated as Activation Energy (transition state, activated complex), which is much higher than the energy further down the graph which depicts final state (products).

There's a personal win for you out there somewhere, just waiting for you to find it and claim it.

I'd like to share a personal win.

And a message for you.

Back on August 21, 2021 — the day after I walked away from radio, and my first day as myself, an openly trans woman named Dana — my weight was 191.9 pounds.

When I moved back to Colorado at the beginning of 2023 to take the job at Indie 102.3, my weight was up to 221.2 pounds.

By last January, I was up to 256.2 pounds.

On the first Monday of 2026, January 5, I was 234.7 pounds and decided to get very serious about getting my health in order — specifically my diet.

This morning, I just weighed in at 199.5 pounds.

No, I haven't reached my goals yet, but ... this is a nice milestone.

✨🥰✨

But there's a bigger lesson here:

The world may be feel scary and chaotic and devoid of hope, but you still should and can have some personal wins. In fact, there's no better time than now to chase those personal wins.

Find your joy, chase that light in the dark. The more the world around you spirals out of control, the more you should defiantly take control of your own destiny.

You know that dog with a hat, sitting with his coffee mug in a room that's on fire, who says, "This is fine"? Maybe he wasn't being sarcastic after all.

We are all going to be OK. ✨

Let's see if THIS works... after four scam calls today I set my personal VM message to this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWuU... Carrier hasn't been helpful, Do Not Calls have not been helpful, I'll see if this works. And frankly, I'll just watch for missed calls that I care about.

"To put it bluntly, an X post today receives less than 3% of the views a single tweet delivered seven years ago." If you think it is necessary to be on Twitter to communicate your fact-based worldview, the reality is that worldview is being smothered.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

An open letter to cis people: First, let me get to the sticking point we’re probably at already. Cis means you are not trans. It’s not a slur, or an insult, it an adjective used in all sorts of disciplines that means on the same side as. Trans, means the inverse, on the other side. … 1/16
