people do get on henry jenkins' case for being overly utopian which i feel doesn't need to be reheated at this point, but it really does get the full spectrum of "eh that's a bit optimistic" to "oh my fucking god"

YEAH JENKINS I WONDER. I FUCKING WONDER HOW THAT WOULD GO
Who would have imagined that Donlad Trump could emerge as a populist spokesman, or the sympathetic images of corporate control could feul a movement to reclaim democracy? A curious mix od cynicism and optimism, the video made Democrats laugh at the current administration and then rally to transform it.

it was smart of jacob geller to only post about what he did to his 50k followers on here instead of to his 1.5 million youtube subs or on his patreon. that way fewer people know about it and he limits the financial hit

i should stop replying to obvious ai grifters but he then told me he runs an "if platform" that at one glance was full of ai and bootleg harry potter fanfiction. which is a bold strategy to attempt on a trans person

accidentally took up most of the space in the newsletter for queer games festival going live this year. whoops
Festival Judges Blocked From Accessing Trans-masc Game

Award-winning LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST delisted on Steam in Australia
 
Judges in the 2026 Melbourne Queer Games Festival have been blocked from accessing a semi-autobiographical contemporary coming-out story by a trans-masc author on the popular games distribution platform, Steam.

LATEX, LEATHER, LIPSTICK, LOVE, LUST is an award-winning game from the United Kingdom that is a "snapshot of the current culture and discourse". The situation for trans people in the UK is so dire the country has earned the nickname "TERF Island" and in this hostile climate, a game like this takes on important cultural and political speech aspects. It's also a great game that the Australian public should be able to make up their own minds about.

The de-listing happened in the middle of the festival judging period in September when Valve, in a kind of "malicious compliance" with the Australian government's Material App Distribution Services Code, acted to block pornographic games and swept up many LGBT-themed games regardless of their political, cultural, historical, autobiographical or artistic merit.

Will this be the year Indiepocalypse finally breaks even?? Andrew funds this project largely out of the goodness of his own heart and wallet because he is a SICKO who cares about ART and the PEOPLE that make it. If youve ever shared that sonic meme, heres a chance to put your $ where your mouth is.

I love videogames. As an entire medium. Sometimes a game can be a Commercial Product for Games Machine, made of Light And Sound that Generates Dopamine. And sometimes it can be an anomalous web-page, and a spiralling tangle of genres and styles that makes you feel complex, messy feelings.
