Ahmad is back online, thankfully www.gofundme.com/f/dnmxx-save...

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Support some Irish game devs with wishlisting their upcoming horror game #EyesOfHellfire being published by Blumhouse!

omg, there are 2.6K of you here... hi, I'm Ladz, my pronouns are they/them, I write dark fantasy for weird queers, I speak Polish, my cat is cute

🍉 Please help us continue to keep the thousands of eSIMs we bought active so Gazans can connect with the outside world For more: chuffed.org/project/crip...

Do not give this woman a dime of your money. 1. Do not watch the new show. 2. Do not stream any of the movies (yes, that includes Fantastic Beasts) 3. Do not buy any of her books. She has a pen name Robert Galbraith. www.advocate.com/news/jk-rowl...

every time I come across adore delano on my fyp on tiktok I think "oh wow, she looks just like adore delano"

UN chief Antonio Guterres says Palestinians in Gaza are enduring “the cruelest phase” of Israel's war. He denounced Israel’s blockade, calling the 400 trucks cleared to enter Gaza so far “a teaspoon of aid” when “a flood of assistance is required.”

#REFUGE: Stories of War (and Love) is now available for pre-order from online & from your favourite independent bookshops. Pre-orders are ESSENTIAL to books and all too often decide their fates. So please support my newest book geni.us/RefugeWarAnd...

Gearing up for “Ben Affleck Summer” where I wear way too many layers and let a giant iced coffee drag me around from shady spot to shady spot while I try not to cry

I've been making my way through Vanessa Angélica Villarreal's Magical Realism very, veeery slowly, but only because I love it so much and I'm taking tons of notes and putting in so many tabs. It's probably gonna be my favorite book of the year or one of the top ones. Everyone should check it out 🩷

President Michael D. Higgins "No other event in our history can be likened to the Great Famine...either for its immediate, tragic impact, or its legacy of involuntary emigration, cultural loss, increased decline of the Irish language, & demoralisation,” www.thejournal.ie/president-hi... #spéirghorm

This is happening right now. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

as European countries are celebrating their public holidays for VE day & giving themselves a pat on the shoulder for "defeating fascism" this week, 2.1 million people are facing annihilation in Gaza

UN Human Rights office: "Escalating atrocities in Gaza present an urgent moral crossroads and States must act now to end the violence or bear witness to the annihilation of the Palestinian population in Gaza – an outcome with irreversible consequences for our shared humanity and multilateral order"

good to see, more of this from everyone please

Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations. For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together. Share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

South of Midnight is out!!!! No one shall hear from me for the next 5-15 business days

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

🤖 Android here we come! Spread the word! Share this far and wide—yell it from rooftops, tell your rich uncle about it, slip it into casual conversation at the grocery store.

🚨 BREAKING: A senior "israeli" official reported to Channel 13 that "the ceasefire has ended" as IOF warplanes attack across the entire Gaza Strip. Netanyahu released a statement that the attacks will intensify with time.

“If we accept that war is inevitable, that inequality is inevitable, that environmental destruction is a necessary cost of progress, then we abandon the possibilities of transformation..” President Michael D Higgins What’ll we do without him?

glad to have been in Beograd today to witness history. Amazing work from everyone making this protest happen at such a scale while keeping it peaceful and not falling for any attempts at provoking violence. Ceo svet za srpske studente 👏🇷🇸

"I want to keep boycotting Amazon, but I also want to support indie authors. How do I do that?" Many indie authors have their books on Barnes & Noble & Kobo! There are also places like Smashwords & Campfire that are almost all indie books! Itchio now has a THRIVING LGBTQ Indie Book Scene.

I keep debating if I should pivot my career away from design and into the void.

This isn't meant to be "performative" stuff, but if I cannot deDRM a kindle book and convert it to a format that lets me use a not-shitty text to speech program, than the book isn't accessible to me and I won't be purchasing it on Amazon. If Amazon is the only place I can get it, I'm sorry.

Are their any Dublin voice actors on here with their own recording set up available for a quick turn around on some trailer VO this week? I'm looking for an authentic accent. Reposts welcome! #gamedev #voiceacting

I often hear people say "yes, but, with AI, we won't need alt-text we can automatically generate those". But, how good will those be? Dries Buytaert did a giant deep dive into testing multiple AIs for writing alternative text. The current conclusion is: it’s not perfect, you can’t fully trust them.

Weird time to be writing a book about trans workers in the tech industry anyway if you want to do an interview with me on signal about your job, feel free to message

one of my most anticipated games for this year

may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence

Reminder: Don't use "accessibility overlays" on your site, ever. If the concept seems to good to be true, that's because it is. Hot on the heels of AccessiBe being fined $1m by the FTC, there is now a class action lawsuit against UserWay. accessbydesign.uk/userway-face... Info follows..

I didn't watch but it is my understanding that Drake lost the Super Bowl
