Our love will never tapir, Ume! ❤️ The adorable endangered tapir calf was born on Feb. 2 to mom Yuna. Ume sports the signature white spots and stripes of a newborn tapir, making her look like a tiny, fuzzy watermelon. 🍉

In our continuing Zine Month coverage, @rowanzeoli.bsky.social curated a list of crowdfunding projects by trans game designers

“this trope has been done before” idc i want to read the exact same thing in different words

Once you've seen the same bad headline 9x it's good to stop scrolling and put on an alternative rock CD

✨It’s interesting that 4 days of posting about Black games has gotten me blocked by more people than anything else I have posted here, so let’s just do this now. Black Lives Matter Gender Affirming Healthcare Love is Love Punch Nazis Defund the Police Land Back Abolish ICE Sex Work is Real Work

Found elsewhere:

Amazing article. "More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media ... actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action. The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of ..fear and anger... instead of organizing against [our oppressors]."

A lot of things seem bleak right now which is why it’s so important that we do small acts of kindness. Compliment a stranger, hold the door for someone, help someone carry their groceries, etc. It’s easy to forget that kindness exists when hate is so loud. Let’s try to be louder.

This is VERY good news. Love bookshop.org and all the stuff they do! www.salon.com/2025/01/28/b...

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro

Abandoning trans rights means abandoning ALL rights. They are inseperable. Abandoning trans people is to abandon all people, and indeed our very humanity. Think about what the fascist asks for, and then think of the totality of its cost. And then say no. To all of it.

Discworld QOTD, from The Wee Free Men "Them as can do has to do for them as can't. And someone has to speak up for them as has no voices."

One of the first pieces I ever wrote as a journalist was about the global history of transness. We have been here since the beginning, and we will be here until the end.

When people "need" alt text to "see" images, their screen readers read aloud the descriptive text (if provided). It's not *just* for blindness but any vision-related impairments. Those w/migraines, vertigo, or chronic fatigue, say. Or garden variety "I can't read small text on mobiles anymore."

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

No biggie, just an ancient equivalent of a clay photograph that shows a man walking his dog 3,800 years ago in the city of Borsippa 🥹

Washington state residents, this bill provides support for trans youth in public schools. The link below goes straight to the comment form, but you can read the bill by searching “5180” and ticking off the advanced search box to see Bills only.

The minute you learn how the sausage gets made on any creative endeavor (especially collaborative ones) you start to appreciate what a miracle it is that anything decent ever actually makes it out of the creative process.

Government workers, military, jury members, etc. should all take heed, regardless of the story’s original veracity. They cannot succeed in their aims if the people don’t allow it, at all levels.

OKAY. Here is how to actually turn off Gemini AI for your google workspace! 1) contact google support from admin panel and keep asking for a supervisor/to speak to a person. 2) ask them to enable settings in "Gemini for google workspace" 3) turn it off. I just did this and it worked.

Never forget the script!

Here's the first of probably periodic warnings to remind yourself that the "firehose of falsehoods" disinformation tactic is about to go into full swing. You do not need to watch the news to bear witness. You do not need to watch hideous videos of violence. They will be circulated to keep you upset

An update on the TikTok situation from our monitoring on Reddit. Now you get TOS'ed for saying negative comments about meta and Zuckerberg, left-wing politics get flagged as misinformation, and you can't tag #fucktrump #fuckelon or #fuckmeta but you CAN tag #fuckbiden and #fuckkamala

this also applies to instagram, took me a minute to find it but it was there
