This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

transgender will outlive the united states

we should be telling trans kids that any regime can fall

Absolute bullshit that being hungry makes me profoundly sad

Thinkin about space and how it can be used to evoke emotions and build narratives

If you don’t want to see trans people you can simply pluck your eyes out

The resistance against ICE is having an effect. Dozens of armed agents deployed along with a helicopter, resulting in ... two kidnappings.

happy pride with isaiah! 🌈✨ #oc #queer #pride #lgbtq #art

REAL TTRPG designers must wail and thrash in a lightless well for at least nine nights. There, they must flense ragged strips from their emaciated forms to weave their agonising chrysalis. Only when they slough free, ascendent, discordant, and harrowing to behold, can they upload a PDF to itch.

#mechsploitation bsky, i have somethin for ya #indiettrpg titanomachyrpg.itch.io/mech-fucker

Hot rpg take: to call yourself a real designer ya gotta start discourse. Making games doesn't count, only engagement maxing

MASSIVE good news for trans people in the United States. A federal judge has just granted class action status to transgender people looking to update their passports. This means that very shorty, the window will open to update your passports with the correct gender marker.

what if flail was really big

transsexual is a sexy word ngl

Look, I just want to merge with another trans girl, form a hivemind and pay rent together. Very relatable.

I'm too lazy to dig up my old Twitter posts but this obsession with your validity as a game designer is a pit. You don't need someone to give you permission or a badge of qualification. Just do it.

I feel this so often, especially when working on some of my projects that are a lot more iterative in regards to the "conversation" of the artform

Thank fuck for the Don't Just Let Everybody Die cavalry

started reading YOU WILL DIE IN THIS PLACE by @liz-shrikestudio.bsky.social‬ and realized i should be live-posting my reactions so im gonna do that while i go through (the game is currently available for PWYW, an absolute steal, and i recommend ppl go read) liz-shrikestudio.itch.io/you-will-die...

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

A fun thing to do when you have a shitty father is to use the money you would have spent on a Father's Day gift (had you had a good father) and instead buy something for yourself that you know he'd hate.

I wish it didn't take this much, but I'm glad more people are learning the role power actually plays in society. That law's and procedures aren't power in and of themselves, that they're a pretense easily subverted by bullies. That our power is in numbers to fight against fascist bullies

The holy trinity of indie dev: ☐ Lack of time ☐ Crushing ambition ☐ A deeply specific mechanic no one asked for but that must exist (Hint: It's fishing/farming/petting the doggo)

The idea that this political violence is the consequence of people on both sides cheering it on seems like a sympathetic point but just doesn’t hold up to history. In my adult life, I’ve seen people on the right do everything from kill politicians to kill regular citizens, and it’s shrugged off.

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression. What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

Happy Pride #AceAttorney (2023)

if ur bluesky feed is boring it’s because you’re not following enough weird trans girls

Furthermore, Minnesota is Canada.

Hey! I just published my first RPG blog post! - It's all about Solo RPG design and how we design interactions within them. Looking at The Wretched by @loottheroom.bsky.social, Ironsworn by @shawntomkin.bsky.social, Lay On Hands by @alfredvalley.bsky.social, and Quill by @scottmalthouse.bsky.social

I want to post about weird video games and all this fucking fascism keeps happening

Wikipedia... IS THE SUMMARY. THAT'S WHAT AN ENCYCLOPEDIA ARTICLE IS. A SUMMARY.

1) There shouldn't be SuperPACs. 2) There DEFINITELY shouldn't be SuperPACs in local politics.

S Baum covering the latest survey on trans life and health over at Erin Reed's place. Notably, Hormone therapy made 84% a lot more satisfied with their lives, 14% somewhat more satisfied. Surgery made 88% of ppl a lot more satisfied and 9% somewhat more. That's: Hormones: +98 Surgery: +97

i talked to @writnelson.bsky.social at gdc about sustainability and he had some cool shit to say about it imo www.polygon.com/features/602...

your trans friends are sadder than they've ever been, and would love a check in

Once again I am forced to ask why people are quitting instead of saying “fuck you make me” and rewarding the grants to the intended recipients over a person with seemingly no real authority to deny them
