When I was young, I ended up watching folks running some carnival games. I peeped game to how when little kids came up to play, the person would demo and mess up, so when the kid lost, no big deal. When it was a cishet couple, the person would make it look SUPER EASY, to get the guy to spend money.

Something nobody tells you about being trans is that everyone is lying about finding trans people “unattractive.” Like literally all of them. They all think we're hot and are just way too scared to admit it

happy #OVER/UNDER anniversary!! one of the wildest months of my life, and only getting wilder, as apparently Tuesday Knight are putting art of the bosses on card packs, making it even stranger that i used my actual name and face for my OVER/UNDER character lmfao.

6 mothership card packs including art that is clearly of my face lol

I am entirely serious when I say that this should be seen as a moderate position. It specifically and surgically dismantles institutions that did not exist pre-9/11 and assigns their functions much as they were assigned pre-9/11.

I genuinely hate how people have appropriated inclusive language to argue that interpreting or portraying a masc-leaning woman as a lesbian is "stereotyping" or "regressive". "I'm gender non-conforming but TOTALLY cis and het" isn't fucking boundary-breaking and I'm sick of the pretence it is.

New: I pulled the Character ai bankruptcy documents. They show: - They were spending $14 million/month on compute alone at a time their revenue was around ~$1 million/month - Currently losing $9 million a month - They admitted they enshittified & that it didnt work www.404media.co/character-ai...

Character.ai's Bankruptcy Documents Show the Economics of AI Don't Work

Character.ai enshittified its product but was still burning tons of cash, its bankruptcy documents say.

It's royalties day! Royalties should be standard practice in any creative field. If you spend your life on something, it should keep taking care of you. Today, we're passing $120,000 in royalties distributed to the artists, writers, and designers of Triangle Agency. I am so proud we get to do this.

Relationships are not just personal, they are political, and we rehearse them in games. I'm running Common Ground in my UCLA classes. It begins with a consent compass, a take on @jdragsky.bsky.social's palette grid. Someone wrote “harming ocean life” as a hard no. Guess what happened? 🙃 🧵

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence
they did the research in the first place because they believed you and wanted to tell people about it. they are not our enemies.

reblog by aphony-cree

people always go "Instead of spending all that time on a study they could have just listened to us when we said these thing happen"

they did listen, that's how studies work, they asked people about their experiences and put all the data together in a nice package that can be cited

the two main characters are fine (altho i truly am sick of the drunk gay priest only having two character traits, and then immediately getting replaced by his brother) but everything else..... yeah yep

its crazy to me that thomas doesnt listen to delphine more. the two of them fought a fucked up cloud demon and a swarm of evil corpse fish and stuff! and every time shes been right! what is Wrong with him

a thing i really appreciate about delphine-as-saint is that the book really emphasizes how the great quality of a saint is spreading compassion beyond your reach — beautiful things rippling outwards that youre never present for

two straight guys flirting with each other heterosexually. dropping their hands to rub their hilts iykwim

This Théobald looked familiar; he was a little younger than Thomas, with sandy hair, a small patch of beard on his chin, and clever bug-eyes made for mockery. The squire was a dandy.
Théobald saw Thomas looking at him, winked quickly, then whispered something to the squire. The squire snickered.
Thomas's hand dropped to where his sword hung on its belt.
He just rested it on the pommel. This gesture was not lost on Théobald, however, who winked again, even more provocatively than the first time.
Thomas grinned at him, suddenly boyishly happy at the probability that he would be swinging a weapon at this man in the wee hours of the morning.

jay Dragon 🔜 Metatopia @jdragsky.bsky.social · 11/10/2026

thomas is ostensibly heterosexual but it seems he never thinks about women except in the abstract, but he loves having involved flirtatious scenes with men revolving around touching them with violence
