hi folks! it is literally my birthday today & if there's anything you could especially do for me for my birthday: it's to check out the Galactic & Going Rogue crowdfunder & consider backing it, or even just giving the QT'd post an RT/QT/reply!! all would be much appreciated bday gifts to me!!

idk it's just kinda funny to me how there's a campaign going around about how bluesky is "mean" and "dying" right around the same time as that document molly made about the moderation team's mistreatment of gazans on here got 50 pages worth of signatures from bsky users.

BREAKING: Fans of colonialism exuberant as King, Queen arrive in Canada

i feel like everyone, but especially @tansyg.bsky.social , needs to see this excellent if unhinged fancam www.reddit.com/r/andor/comm...

Please donate or share if you’re able. chuffed.org/project/help...

We were hoping that this letter to @bsky.app could first be shared by a Gazan, but we were too worried that doing so would get their account deleted so we are sharing first. You can sign on to the letter about the unfair treatment of Gazans on Bluesky here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

i so appreciate @rowanzeoli.bsky.social giving me the chance to speak about my thoughts on Going Rogue as political project it's been interesting & challenging trying to be thoughtful about how i approach (& market) this game in that respect, & getting to talk its *limitations* was actually v nice

(translating a book in which the author is very candidly wondering intrusive thoughts about motherhood and disability, while also writing about her own illness, and barely being able to do more than 5-6 pages a day has been.... enlightening)

Going Rogue is in @aftermath.site! It was great talking with @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social about why I made it, organizing experiences I was drawing from, Gita's experience playing GR, my feelings on Star Wars, & more! Check it out & consider backing the KS here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Hey folks, the Crips for eSims for Gaza bundle is very nearly hitting a whopping $100K raised, sitting at just over $99.5K raised, do you think we could make a little last minute push and get it over the $100,000 goal? itch.io/b/2965/crips...

friends, it is the LAST DAY of the Crips for eSims for Gaza Itch Bundle! thanks to your incredible support, we've raised just shy of $100K! this seemed like an improbable goal when we started, but here we are, humbled & grateful let's push it past the limit! itch.io/b/2965/crips...

i want to be a killjoy: we need to make it socially unacceptable to ask chatgpt anything

hhhmmmmmm

May 15th is Nakba Day, the day that commemorates the on-going ethnic cleansing of Palestine by Israel. This year, it has been 77 years since Israel violently occupied a land full of people and made them into a people without land. 77 years.

Maybe boycott the singing competition platforming propaganda by a state committing an ongoing genocide, perhaps. A little proposal for the bare minimum. Something to consider.

Interviewer: can you explain this gap in your resume Me, a translator: The gap is also present in the original

since i first wrote this, three arcs of the second season of #Andor have come out, and the last one airs/is released tomorrow, and it's still good*, yes there is also a lot more to talk about around the existence of this series at this very moment in time 🧵

My original take on Optimus Primal! #mech #mecha #optimusprimal #transformers #beastwars

It has come to my attention that some Palestinians in Gaza have no money whatsoever because they haven't been able to raise funds due to lack of internet. So I am focusing on raising funds for esims right now through the wonderful Crips for eSims itch.io/b/2965/crips...
