when I was a kid I heard another kid arguing about why he had to do service for others in the gurudwara and his parent was like "if you won't help others what is the point of you" and I've never forgotten that line.

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

I cannot believe family members are actively trying to get me to promote an anti-vax agenda and support RFK JR of all people. AND CLAIM THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE POLIO VACCINE??? Like no, I'm not going to do that! Leave me alone! Have some common sense!

This is perhaps, and hear me out, majorly tonedeaf. Just a thought.

Breaking news: A 2020 paper that sparked widespread enthusiasm for hydroxychloroquine as a #COVID19 treatment has been retracted, following campaigning by scientists who alleged the research contained major scientific flaws and may have breached ethics regulations. scim.ag/4iR9bQ6

Don't call me out like this!!!!

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all." -- Arthur C. Clarke, born #OTD 1917

maybe wishful thinking, but i do hope that gamers on bsky will be much more civil than those on twitter/x while the game awards are airing! 😅 let us remember that an award doesn’t define whether a video game is incredible or not. no matter who wins, all games nominated are great in their own way! 🎮

-shows up wearing ceasefire pin -talks about how the art and magic of games comes from the creatives and devs -denounces the games made for quotas and in boardrooms -takes a shot at TGA about giving proper airtime to creatives -doesnt name drop any celebs forget the awards, this guy wins hearts man

I’m sorry but 262 words is not a manifesto. It’s a statement. Maybe a communique. Not a manifesto.

Gentle reminder for everyone who might need it. Yes, including me. Especially me. How other people treat you is often more about them than about you. As the one who decided that the worst I’ll say is “I don’t like you”, I know this to be true. What we know and feel isn’t always the same thing.

um

Oh god we've reached the point where the news is sensationalizing Among Us as a negative influence? Go after literally anyone else playing video games in the pandemic then!!!

I'm always constantly battling the need to balance my research interests and my video game insights here. And honestly, I'm too lazy to separate them into different bluesky accounts and they're both a part of me. So apologies to both sides of my followers for getting the alternative side!

You know, sometimes I'm one of those people that go "hm, maybe the Game Awards should have a little more balance instead of 90% jury, 10% voting" and then I look at the Player's Voice being three gacha games, the Elden Ring DLC and Black Myth Wukong.... maybe Geoff has a point actually

Luigi continues to have the most interesting lore of the Super Mario universe

Family isn’t always blood, it’s the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what.

Two members of my dissertation committee finalized, two more to go!!! One I think is pretty much set and just needs t, and the other one is going to be a doozy to solidify because biostatisticians are apparently very busy here which is totally fair. Fingers crossed.

Comfortable people are the first one's the throw their hands in the air: "well that sucks, I guess we'll all just have to take it." LOL, absolutely NOT, you ghouls.

You can really tell that this year was my resurgence into Final Fantasy XIV! I'm still on Heavensward though, but I'm making my way through slowly but surely. #spotifywrapped

that Korea does this, immediately, in the face of actual soldiers trying to impose martial law - when members of our own congress voted for a coup hours after the J6 mob stormed congress, and the coup instigator won the next election - is about as scathing an indictment of America as I’ve ever seen

1) South Korean President declares martial law to try and go around parliament. Protests in the streets begin. 2) Parliament convenes and unanimously votes to negate the decree. 3) Soldiers withdraw and celebrations in the streets replace protests. All in a matter of hours.

S Korean people’s revolt against wannabe dictator is the first time I’ve followed a breaking news event mostly here and it’s great so far.

For some reason I am not good at everything immediately and it’s really frustrating.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy. It’s not rocket science.
