the psycho terf groups are starting to have their eyes drift towards diy hrt resources again - so it's a good time to remember that under no circumstances in no world whatsoever for the rest of time should you talk to journalists, especially regarding anything related to diy hormones.

sure there'll be huge levels of thematic dissonance, and the further social dissonance of replicating the work of a studio that was destroyed by Business in a game engine financed by the most Business company in the world, but also like...dude, it'd be really funny

disco elysium should have been a super-immersive VR experience that tracks your movements at all times and requires you, in order to start the game at all, to get into face down ass up position. like on the menu screen it checks for it and denies you access to the game if you're not doing it right

an indecisive poet trying to make breakfast: oatmeal could seal the deal, and to intake a flake for the sake of breaking the fast might last me 'til lunch, but here's a hunch: fried eggs on bread will keep me fed, and why not on rye for more fibre? yes...when pressed, would an egg be best...?

i wrote a poem about eating nuts that feels SUPER good in the mouth, try it out: blessed with endless cashews, pistachio shells are stuffed senseless and it's less roasted peanut than blissful moment with pulses raised and nuts exalted!

the unease is non-judgemental, but at the same time it IS experience-based, so I end up treading with caution. it's a shame because community-focused and especially community-LED spaces with a focus on art and on politics are what I feel we need more of right now

[John Lids] @mixolydianmode.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
my personal experience with collectives, art or otherwise, for over a decade now has been that they've tended to dissolve into disorganised cults of personality usually to avoid responsibility for various abuses committed by prominent members. this is why, when I see "collective", I feel uneasy...

it feels like all the anger we had at the decisions of these artless CEO ghouls was sucked up by a well-funded political machine and diverted into hating women as much as possible when gamergate happened, to be honest

I don't know much about what's going on with the games industry, but i feel like seeing "Playstation airs State of Play" directly after "Sony tells gamers they don't own the digital games they buy" on the trending tab is doing a pretty good job at summarising it for me

when it's absolutely SEEPING some sort of fluid from the back of the writer's brain, when it's all greasy, leaking all this fluid out from somewhere you can't even see and you try to pick it up in your hands but struggle because of all the grease, the seepage. that's good writing

Billie Méjean is an underappreciated character, it's unfortunate that conversations about characters like her tend to devolve into insidiously patronising "what a salt-of-the earth, bless her uncomplicated soul, the working class are such golden-hearted heroes, hear-hear" sugar-flavoured classism

there should have been a part in Disco Elysium where every singular noun in every music track title gets turned into a plural for about 20 minutes and then changes back without notice

there should have been a part in Disco Elysium where there's an unskippable cutscene of a white screen that you can't exit out of by any method accompanied by the first brass note of Instruments of Surrender stretched out for 3 hours, and if you input the konami code the word "POLITICS" appears

there should have been a scene in Disco Elysium where you get jumped in an alley by a gang of youths and then it turns into a side-scrolling beat 'em up where you need to punch and kick 3 different recolours of a guy called "Jackson "Beef" Sandwich" to make a giant "GO!" appear in the sky in blood

imagining Jean Vicquemare waking up at 4am (after only managing to drift off somewhere between 2 and 3) with a bad headache and sitting on his shitty couch holding a glass of water in tortured silence staring at a wall until his alarm goes off for work (he does not drink the water) <3 (^ w ^)👍

nostalgic about the lead content of solder. ranting and raving about how when they took the lead out of solder that's when the world went to shit, just absolutely losing my little mind, mind full of poison waving a circuitboard in the air but AHA, NONE of the components are falling off, SEE??
