I'm very long-winded, but for good reason. I talk about disabled advocacy, plurality, public health, trans and queer advocacy, accessibility, witchcraft, fun facts and tidbits, media I love, and more things I'm definitely failing to think of.

Well, I& found out today that I& owe $575 up front for my& MRI tomorrow. This is important imaging, we're trying to look at a problem area that we can't see otherwise, so I& can't really afford to reschedule. If you've got a few bucks, every bit makes it easier to cover. ko-fi.com/maelstrommin...

It's wild to me that I'm being asked to donate to Palestine by every white person on the face of the fucking earth, but when black folks explain our material conditions, right here, right now in America, people ignore us. people blame us. people shame us. Ya'll are so fucking unserious.

So good news! We've made it to the first 6% of our goal so far, which has set up a corresponding bonus stream. Next milestone is at 25%, or $1000. Big jump, but every little bit helps. Please keep sharing and giving as you can. Thank you.

I've got an opportunity lined up that should keep me solvent once it starts, but it won't be until about mid-late January, and I'm essentially at the last of my savings now. The $4000 I'm asking for here (ko-fi.com/sjhdoesgames) should be enough to keep me covered until that time. (2/3)

Covid is a social justice issue. Mitigations like masks, anti virals, air purifiers and tests cost money. We should have free respirators in public places. Mandatory masking in hospitals. Clean air benchmarks. Paid time off. Those steps would drastically reduce spread.

1/ I don’t know how to say this without sounding harsh, but I need you to hear it. COVID — or SARS-2 — is not “just another cold.” It doesn’t leave you the same. Every reinfection stacks damage: brain, heart, immune system.

Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect. As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.

Progress! Five others dice boxes are almost to this stage but need more sanding before pictures. Anyway, they feel close to the end. Which is always more work than you think. But the no fun work of gluing magnets and posts is done.
Five round dice boxes made from walnut. Two have epoxy incorporated into the top. One looks like a ringed planet or some kind of space phenomena. The other an ethereal moon is partially obscured by iridescent green clouds. The others don’t have epoxy but have quotes etched into the tops. One says Always With You Sis, another says What are men to rocks and mountains, the last saying I would have gone with you until the end

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

Since I roasted that (probably-not-a-real-person) account the other day about Gen AI stuff, I might as well add this. Not something new, but I'm saying it in case someone needs to hear it: using Gen AI is *not* going to help you if you are neurodivergent or disabled. It won't. (1/5)

I think people underestimate their ability to help support a game just by telling a friend about it. If I hear a designer talk about their game, I'm not usually convinced. If my friend Will tells me to check out a game, I'm looking. Your words, oftentimes, are just as powerful as your wallet.

Generative AI is *literally* eroding everything vital about the experience of being a living being on this planet. Saying that "it didn't have to be like this" is very true, but it *is* like this, so let's focus on trying to do what we can to make it so that it's not like this anymore. (5/5)

The claims of what AI will be capable of grow ever more outlandish and remind me of the kind of marketing hype NFT shills were spouting right before their bubble burst, like "What if you could own Mario?" only now it's "the AI will build you a Breath of the Wild." It can't and it won't, Tim Swindle

Full on eugenics. Reminder disabled people exist in ALL social groups— this is aimed at eradicating us too. “… [CBO] estimates 13.7 million people will lose health coverage. LGBTQ+ people — especially those living with HIV, people of color, and low-income families — are among the hardest hit.”

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

Why does “learning to live with covid” mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable? Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability? That’s not “living with it”. That’s giving up We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.

Vestibular disorders affect people's balance as well as their visual perception of their world around them. Don't make animations, sliders, videos, or rapid movement start automatically, as autoplaying elements could trigger a bad reaction in people who have vestibular disorders.

I saw advice to buy extra cans of food when you’re at the grocery store to donate to the food bank. I want to politely nudge you to give the money directly to food banks (or to mutual aid groups if you know of any). We can usually stretch a dollar farther than a dollar’s worth of canned goods

I've always believed the cost of rent is way too high and exploitative. I checked the price of renting a similar house in my neighborhood. And it's about 1k more than I pay for my mortgage. That's just so wild to me that people are exploiting others this much.
