I strongly encourage readers of indie queer and especially trans books to start using itchio as more of us authors move away from Amazon. Authors get a bigger cut, you can tip, and, most importantly, you will actually own your ebooks instead of just licensing them from Amazon.

If you didn't realize, Lumpley Games has bought you genius games like Apocalypse World, Dogs in the Vineyard, and so many more. Psi Run was transformative for me. These people make the games that blow game designers minds and other people figure out are amazing 10 years later. Don't wait 10 years.

being trans is a lot like being an x-man elected officials & weird industrialists are always screeching about how dangerous we are & trying to eradicate us from society but instead of having psychic powers or those eye beams that punch you really hard, i'm just a lot happier & prettier

The California Fire Relief Bundle features more 400+ games, TTRPGs, asset packs, and other projects (no genAI). All proceeds go to CORE (Community Organized Relief Effort), a LA-based org which offers support for survivors, and projects for fire resilience. itch.io/b/2863/calif... #TTRPG

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

With the demise of Joann's, I'm going to share a few online resources I've found. It's by no means exhaustive, but hopefully it helps folks find what they need. 🧵

Can we get to $10,000 by the end of the day??? That'd cover medical supplies for over 1500 trans people across the country for a year, that's so many people with one less gd thing to deal with in this twisted world and you get dozens of incredible games in exchange! itch.io/b/2889/hrt-h...

I really need everyone to stop thinking in terms of laws and procedures and start thinking in terms of power and balance of forces. Like, yes, they intend to instruct the military to repress the people. They always did. The moves they're making are increasing the likelihood of army refusal

If you’re in any way queer or late-discovery neurodivergent, or otherwise have grown up in an abusive environment as a kid, your 20s are your discovery phase, your learning-about-the-world phase, something your teens were supposed to be. We’re running on at al least a 10 year delay.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

Remember that Mitch McConnell's blueprint for our hellscape started with the GOP taking over vacant and uncontested local offices. School boards, city councils, and others are the hidden battlegrounds of our culture. This is why Run For Something is so powerful and important.

For reference: Procedural generation is shuffling a deck and dealing from it. genAI is feeding every card deck you can find, including ones not for the game, into a wood chipper, slapping a handful of the bits on some glue, and pretending its a playable hand.

As a political scientist who studies countries that managed to stop the slide into authoritarianism, I can assure you that refraining from provoking the authoritarian is not how it works. Without further ado, I will now go tear out another chunk of hair.

dee said yesterday that she doesn't think players want choice, they want cohesion. a million meaningless choices don't feel as good as one choice that echoes through the whole game
