If I've ever done you a favor or you've enjoyed my content, I would appreciate boosting this. An open letter, on behalf of every tired Washington family. medium.com/@doomcookie/...

Experiences like the one @mizdoomcookie.bsky.social's family faces, hits close as someone who grew up with ADHD-IT. For all of the wealth around areas of Seattle, I fume at stories about how the funding of area schools falls short for those with more unique needs. medium.com/@doomcookie/...

I hope every laid off dev who poured their soul into a project understands and allows themselves to recognize that you need to grieve after. Like, seriously grieve. It's a loss, a big one, and if you don't process it like grief, it will get stuck inside and rot, like any trauma.

So it's my *official* cover reveal day even though it's been creeping through as a preview on links lately. LOOK AT IT. IT'S SO PRETTY. #booksky #romancelandia

The real story of Cassandra wasn't that she had magic powers it was that the bad guys test their strategies on those with the least power first and then execute them on a broad scale. www.salon.com/2025/02/24/w...

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

This is isn't just another pointed attack at the LGBT+ community, but also violence against women, and women in public service. I feel sick. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

From the article: 'He added, “This post is for any LGBT folks who think that the Trump admin isn’t targeting our entire community. Expect moves to remove us from antidiscrimination laws, plus lawsuits aimed at giving the Supreme Court the chance to overturn decisions that gave us rights.”'

the only way forward for video games is self-published games made by properly-organised studios corporate ownership will fire all of you in the end.

The Marvel Rivals team layoffs are so fucked. I guess it was fun playing it while I did...

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

happy presidents day

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

Ugh I’m so close to this being finished. 😩😩😩

Alternatives to calling someone or something "crazy" when they're doing fascism. instead of "crazy" → fascist instead of "lunatic" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "psycho" → fascist instead of "bipolar" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "insane" → fascist

Don't trust consumer-facing "AI" for anything

Yeah? And you think I stopped calling Chicago's tallest building "the Sears Tower"? Please...

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist. Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.

On one hand, it's kind of funny that his idea of a golden age of arts is definitely just the Rockettes and Cats. On the other hand, it's fascism 101 to suppress real art and instead elevate nostalgia and kitsch

Okay, so joy as resistance has been completely removed from its original context, and that’s why what you know of now doesn’t really work. In the Roaring 20s, during the Harlem Renaissance, Zora Neale Hurston found herself at odds not only with conservative whites but also neo-abolitionists

Excited to frame this Pokémon team piece I commissioned from @julesdrawz.bsky.social ~✨

We were just told that they won’t let us in. They are denying entry to 2 dozen members of Congress. Elon Musk has all our private information & we have no idea what he’s doing with it. This is happening completely behind closed doors. HELL NO. It’s illegal. We demand oversight!

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.
