Hi everyone I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

Highly recommended. One of the best stories about intergenerational trauma, political rebellion, and the difficulty of loving & being loved.

I did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf

For so long, I felt an immense helplessness at the tragedies in our world. Sitting on the sidelines is no longer an option, and the point of my privileges is to use it to help others. This is my answer, and I know many of you feel the same also. So let's do this together ✊

Feral cats gather at the construction site, shining like grey and white stars on the beams. When the building is finished, it will be forbidden to them; in the sawdust and between the walls, they enjoy their last taste of the space

honestly, america, you need to stop making this comparison easy for me. i was a middle school star wars nerd and you should not give me the opportunity to unleash that persona on all of you. make better choices

you don’t necessarily imagine when you look into your infant’s eyes that you’re seeing someone who will eventually stand in the rain carrying a handwritten sign reading DYKES AGAINST ICE, but life is extraordinary in so many ways

My 84 year old dad attended a no kings protest on his own. This is roughly akin to somehow pissing off a Snorlax

PSA if you're thinking of going to one of the protests tomorrow and the one closest to you has a private address that you need to RSVP to get, do not go to that one, you will end up on a list that the Feds can subpoena only go to protests that list a public address and don't RSVP for them either

If you're out protesting tomorrow, stay safe. Be like water, do not RSVP, but let a trusted friend or family know where you will be. Folks don't seem to be treating the situation with the gravitas it deserves. I hope I'm wrong but there's a very real possibility things get ugly.

Our amazing Pik-sen Lim has left us An iconic figure in so many ways, I’d seen her on TV in Mind Your Language amongst other things when I was a kid I acted on stage in two plays with her as well as numerous readings, workshops, audio etc…

Without legal protections, abuse of migrant domestic workers remains normalised in Malaysia and it's only by chance that a few like this woman are safely rescued. It's worth noting also that escaping by herself could have landed her in immigration detention www.rri.co.id/en/internati...

strongly feel that many of the conversations around bdsm are an extension of what @fangirljeanne.bsky.social said on #pagesandprejudice -- if they do sex "the right way," they can't be harmed by the people they trust. i regret to inform you, that is not the case.

I know this is radical talk but I think we can stop paying an occupying force to gas our friends and neighbors in their homes.

I'd like to hire a sensitivity consultant specializing in Southeast Asian cultures to review a chapter of text, about 6,500 words. This is a horror project, be warned. If you're available, please DM rates and a couple of past projects. Thanks.

When you see liberal scolding of protest, just send them this message below. Do not split.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to anybody. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

This year's Summer Games Fest presentation was really concerned with how few people made a lot of those games, huh? It feels kinda fucked up. Not just because they're often misrepresntating the real size of these teams, but because I think it's playing directly into a new(ish) flavour of dev hate.

Remember how, in 1984, the Party runs a massive bureaucratic operation to constantly falsify and invent and rewite history in order to make the Party seem infallible? We've done that. But for no reason at all. And given the task to a stupid machine that turns rainforests into carbon in the process.

Your reminder that Humboldt Fog cheese, Humboldt County, CA, the Humboldt penguin (Spheniscus humboldti),and the Humboldt Current that allows wine grapes to grow in Chile are all named for an 18th C gay scientist whose love letters were all burned and who left his entire estate to his “valet.” 🏳️‍🌈

Sorry to use this post for a tangential rant, but to present-day me, good work ethic is about doing your job reasonably well in fulfillment of your job description, the sliding scale of how good someone’s work ethic is as measured by their volume of output, without putting a cap on it, is toxic imo

For anyone showing up to the protests around LA this weekend, please bring supplies. Paper towels, milk, water, snacks, and any extra masks. Wear protective gear like helmets, goggles, full face protection, and heat resistant gloves. The tear gas canisters are hot and will burn

Yes! I have seen this a lot too. Please hate appropriately. We’ve been using AI for ages in the games industry, along with ML and procedural content, to great effect. What you are hating is LLMs. It’s predictive text. It has so many issues that are clear if you’ve ever used it. Stay on target!

The reason BotW is a masterpiece and the reason is is one of the FEW open world games that is actually good is that it is so hand-crafted! It's a generous, excessive huge pile of good times. Every single NPC has really cute, specific little bits of text that pop. C'mon people
