The film is written, directed, and co-stars Hitoshi Ozawa, a legendary Yakuza actor who is a villain in Yakuza 0, who got his fellow legends involved. This was his passion project inspired by one of his best friends, a trans woman, and he worked with the community for representative casting.

Hey. We're dialing back the people pleasing at our own expense by .01% today. Think of it as the same sh*t you did yesterday, just a little less. No one's asking you to make seismic changes today-- just prove to yourself a .01% shift is doable & safe. This is how we recover.

Disability support policy is a giant test of the principle “Innocent Until Proven Guilty”. Systems that gatekeep disability benefits to prevent supposed grifting are betraying that principle by deciding it’s worth making many innocents struggle & starve to stop a few bad actors. Same with welfare.

We're conditioned to think shame is "necessary," that it "protects" us from being a "bad person"-- but the reality is, shame only punishes us. And decades of psych research confirm that punishment tends to make humans bitter, not better. Shame is not a trauma recovery tool.

I've read so many "hot takes" about accessibility in my ten-year career; this, though, takes the absolute cake. No, accessibility is not responsible for closing studios, wasting millions, or causing layoffs. Don't be like this guy.

A screenshot of a LinkedIn post by Richard Boisvert a Principal Technical Cinematic Artist who said: It's an unbelievable thing to see that menu narration is enabled by default in the new Halo game, a feature that caters to blind people. What Halo Studios / 343 is essentially saying is this:

"We need this option on by default because a blind person is incapable of navigating the menu to find and enable it. However, once enabled, they can play the game just fine."

This is the end-state of the inclusive and accessibility mafia. They cater so hard to the edge-case, that they actually make unreasonable defaults to the majority. Why don't they also enable the colorblind filters too? What's the difference?

It doesn't matter that you can "just turn it off" or that it's "no big deal". The fact that they went with that as the DEFAULT is insanity. It shows how warped the frame-of-mind and worldview is of these people. This shows, by proxy, the beurocratic bloat of AAA.

These are the kinds of decisions and infrastructures that kill companies, waste millions, cause layoffs, and I am sick of seeing it. We are not in a gaming crash because of "greed", we are in a crash because of stupid shit like this.

Mask Oakland @maskoakland.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Extreme wildfire smoke hits US and Canada. Here's our tiny California wildfire smoke org's advice from 9 years of watching and responding. (slides 1-4 of 8) #wildfiresmoke #canadawildfires #airquality #NewYork #Chicago #Toronto

Mask Oakland on Crisis:
US + Canada Wildfire Smoke
JULY 16, 2026

During West Coast Wildfires since 2017, Mask Oakland has distributed over 500k N95 and KN95 masks to vulnerable communities in the Bay Area and beyond. The current smoke levels in many Northeast US cities have passed 400 AQI (below 50 is normal), reaching hazardous, catastrophic levels. Even through major wildfire seasons, most have never experienced 400+ AQI, except if they were living down the road from a major wildfire. This is likely the worst smoke event in North American History in terms of severity and population affected.

Most people and governments are under-informed on how dangerous this is. You may want to help. Here is some advice.
@maskoakland 1 of 8, July 2026

N95 Masking helps protect against smoke,
staying inside helps, air purifiers help

AQI 150 is unhealthy, you should wear the best mask you can when outdoors.

Which mask? P100 > N95, KN95 > Surgical Mask > Cloth > No mask

Wildfire smoke negatively effects everyone, even if you consider yourself healthy or that it doesn’t bother you much. It is full of toxic junk, including PM 2.5, tiny particles so small your lungs cannot filter them. Those particles then enter your blood stream and essentially scratch up your circulatory system and your organs.

It is very unlikely to be lethal in small or moderate exposure, but each exposure very slightly reduces your long-term lifespan and quality of life. Over time this can add up to significant impact. Hospitalizations do increase during wildfire smoke events. Check on people you know with respiratory challenges.

Indoor air quality is better than outside, during wildfire crisis, but is not perfectly safe. Close windows, use air purifiers, and mask if you sense levels rising indoors.

Driving is an exposure risk, web search the model of your car and see if it has a cabin air filter, older cars may not. After going outside in smoke, change your clothes and shower, and bag up your dirty clothes.

@maskoakland 2 of 8, July 2026

Track the smoke / AQI levels in your area.

Levels can change quickly and you want to be informed

Media recommends airnow.gov, but it updates using longer and wider averages versus the below which focus more on individual sensors that update every few minutes.

We recommend these apps:
IQ Air / AirVisual
WatchDuty, and PurpleAir.

But also take breaks from monitoring, or delegate one person in your family or circle or organization to monitor to reduce fatigue from constant tracking.

@maskaoakland 3 of 8 July 2026

For very high AQI (300+), start combining strategies, just masking is not enough

The worse it gets the more important it is to combine smoke mitigation strategies. At the highest levels: Masking + Indoors + Air Purifiers + Windows Closed + Reduced exertion.

Every 50-100 AQI above demands new level of response, by 400+, 500+, 600+ we are talking catastrophic levels where even the percentage that gets through your masks filter is not a healthy amount to be taking in.

We’ve helped community members on the frontlines of fires, and when the air is at 600 for an extended period, they end up with significant cognitive impacts, even when huddled on the ground next to their air purifier and wearing a mask as much as they can tolerate.

If you monitor air quality and see somewhere you can drive to that’s below 50, and you are in say, 500, it would offer significant health benefits to even temporarily travel to a “green” air quality area.

Hey #portfolioday! This time around I just want to share my cover art for TRANSIENT VOLTAGE. transientvoltage.bandcamp.com

A great bird with plumage the colors of the pride flag spreads its wings and screams as it pulls upward against the cables and wires that hold it to an unseen ground. A vibrant burst of electrical current flows from its eyes and erupts from its mouth.

Text reads: Transient Voltage, a compilation of trans metal discharge
