It always frustrates me how autistic people are expected to put in all this effort in social situations, while allistic people don't even try to meet us halfway, and then say we're the difficult ones. How are we supposed to communicate if you won't even try to reach out?

autistic people are often told they are inconsiderate for not naturally knowing how to do things or navigate situations, but damn dude, maybe neurotypical people could just stand to chill out sometimes

A picture of a 3-inch anti-generative AI rainbow holographic sticker with a formline design on it. The design has a black border with sparkles lining it. Text within the border reads “you cannot automate the human experience.” The formline design depicts a decapitated robot head with vacant eyes. Next to it are two ravens, with one raven perched on the head with a piece of the robot’s antenna in its beak.

An explanation on why Big Walk isn't available on Xbox. bigwalk.game/xbox
Regarding Xbox

In June 2026 we announced that the release of Big Walk would be limited to computers, Switch 2 and PS5. Since then, we have received many messages and comments, asking about a future Xbox release. We would like to address those questions here:

We have made the decision not to release Big Walk on Xbox, in accordance with the Palestinian-led BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement’s call to boycott Microsoft, and their designation of Microsoft Games (and Xbox) as a priority boycott target. If you need help understanding our motives, we would recommend reading about why Microsoft is a BDS priority target, the successes this kind of pressure has already had on Microsoft, and especially, watching this great introductory piece by People Make Games.

It has always been our intention for Big Walk to be played by groups of friends, and we know that keeping the game off Xbox runs counter to those intentions. This decision means that some people will miss out on playing Big Walk with their friends, and we understand the disappointment we’re causing. We are disappointed too.

We would love for people to be able to play the game on Xbox, but not until Microsoft and/or Xbox have been removed as BDS boycott targets.

We’ve made this decision with the belief that meaningful change can be made in the world, that coordinated collective action can confront even the most powerful interests, and that one day, Palestine will be free.

Thank you for your understanding.

Sincerely,
House House

the message is always, "You are not entitled to the sweat of your brow, nor your neighbor's, only we. You do not own what you produce, individually or collectively, only we." Solely those whose money makes money are given ownership and thus access; the rest of us may only borrow at a higher cost.

Today google turned on even more genAI features for businesses who pay for google suites, which means a lot more things to turn off. It automatically turned on reading all your email and docs for generative AI learning so that probably already happened. Turn it off in your admin panel here:
in admin.google.com the "gemini in workplace" tab is shown, and I have everything turned off, but there are fields for gemini basically reading anything you ever do with google.

GLIDE (2026) Acrylic - 24” x 36” Few paintings come easy…and that was almost the case here. I saw the environment in a dream but awoke before getting a complete visualization. The art went through a number of essential transformations before settling into a form that felt right to me. #art
Soaring over a labyrinth of mossy ridges, a woman in white silky robes reaches out towards a transparent orb lit from within by a solitary flame. With her arms out wide, the silky fabric spreads to form a long triangle rippling as it tapers to a point well past her feet. Doves glide around her. From the top down POV, we can see the barest glimpse of water glistening in the recesses of the verdant maze.
