not to get woo with this statement (though i am very happily a woo person lol), but it just feels like there’s something in the air and it makes me wish we had more kinds of support in place. i don’t know what. but i wish we had it because it’s needed. hell, i need it 💀

Fuck me. Working with the accessibility teams in my corner of the game dev community was literally the only truly fulfilling part of my job. Helping developers consider accessibility and building their games with it in mind from the ground up was a huge part of why I slept well at night.

I don't know much about MAGA but I do know this: There is no fuckin way Eric Schmitt feels "humiliated". They have no ability to feel that way. He will be angry and screaming and throwing a temper tantrum and taking it out on those closest to him, but humiliation ain't it.

I'm friends with someone who doesn't know her actual age because she was rescued as a feral toddler. Absolutely deadass. Wild shit. She's an amazing adult with a very happy life now, so it's okay.

Unpopular opinion: Stop teaching us (women, trans, MINORS) how to avoid being catcalled, assaulted, and raped. Start speaking up and showing up for us, tell them to stop. Call them out loudly for THEIR ACTIONS. They should be shamed, not us.

Because my fundamental truth is "I don't give a fuck about the investors or shareholders or making my boss look good via deception", I truly think this makes me unemployable in tech right now. This entire era is defined by sycophancy, bootlicking, deception, theft, and grift: all shit idfw

I'm gonna put my not-so-humble "community professional for over 20 years" hat for a second, and say that the Bluesky HEAD of TRUST & SAFETY using automated blocking tools to "stay unbothered, moisturized, in my lane" is truly a fundamental malpractice of the very core of what this job entails.

This you?
Distracted boyfriend meme: An attractive woman walks towards us, and her caption says "Remaster of a 10+ year old game announced". Walking away, but turning around to look with an ogling look on his face, the "distracted boyfriend" glances back at her. His caption says "Yes, been meaning to play that". Meanwhile, his partner, another attractive woman who is holding his hand, has a look of annoyance on her face and her caption says "The original, sitting unplayed in your backlog"

This is a deeply personal story, but important to share. I've never been a Black parent to a Black child. I've got Black nephews and a niece, so I've seen SOME of the differences in their daily experiences, but I would never claim to understand the extra stress that raising Black boys entails. Damn

I think ironically, and perhaps a tad optimistically, we are going to go back to seeking out knowledge and experience from our communities and our elders because the internet as it is now has made it near impossible to find real info.

Yeah sex is great but have you ever tucked a cute girl in and snuggled the blankets up close to her chin and brushed her hair out of her eyes and given her a lil forehead smooch and made sure everything was perfect before quietly leaving the room and closing the door softly behind you?

i hope that men notice how whenever a rape story gets widespread coverage, women use it as an opportunity to vent about how fucking disgusting we think many of you are and how many have made our lives measurably worse, and take a few moments to deeply process that.

Hey folks, I had a big thread about AI and art that really popped off, and now I have some attention, so why don't I make a little thread of upcoming indie games I'm looking forward to that have neat artstyles? And a lot of these games will have demos to check out, so maybe give them a try?

Why does St Thomas the Apostle sleep like this.... And in the weirdest places....
A tuxedo cat lays on his back, jammed up against the wall with his legs spread wide open and his front paws curled into the air. It's a weird place, it's a hard floor, and it's in the corner of a stairwell.

Two panel comic. Panel 1: a bat hangs upside-down from a telephone line at sunset. The bat is in front of a billboard advertising the Florida Mega Jackpot, which is valued at $5,318,008 - represented with a digital ticker. Panel 2: the POV flips to the bat’s upside-down perspective, which makes the digital numbers look like they spell “BOOBIES”. The bat appears delighted.

A digital illustration of two fursonas side-by-side, wielding different swords. On the left is Felicia Stannse, with her signature italian rapier. She is a wolf with long, spiky dirty blonde hair. She is wearing a teal headband, red spaghetti strap shirt, and blue jeans with a belt.

On the right is Persephone Blueheart, with her sword Ballad, which is a 16th century European bastard sword. She has blonde hair and a blonde tail, and is wearing striped prisoner pants and a black tank top. Persephone has six visible tattoos. One, on her right shoulder, which is a crosshair surrounded by red and blue flames, and the other shoulder has a superman ice-cream colored bomb tattooed on it. She also has a war stripe painted on her snout. Then, lastly, she has three knuckle tattoos, which are obscured by the angle in which she is holding her blade. But most visibly, on her ring finger, is a pink heart.

Not only is this one of my favorite songs from the 80's, the music video is also clearly one of the times when the record company gave a bunch of money to a director and they went about to make a weird art project. Horseback riding? Do it. Aliens? Of course. A dude in a sailor outfit? Sure, why not.

When my dad was in his 40s, in the late 80s, he latched on to the phrase "Kool dude, radical", his last attempt at using the lingo of the era. He still uses it. Now I'm late 40s. I wonder if I too am going to lock in some last attempt at sounding relevant and stick with it for the rest of my life 🤣
