CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

I've been keeping this a public secret for over a year. I can't wait for folks to experience my work on it, but mostly I can't wait for you to watch the incredible amount of amazing micro TV shows that I got to be one of the earliest fans of. Blippo+, on PC and Switch this fall.

My thoughts before #WWDC25 begins this year. More than anything else, I’d want to see the ship steered in the right direction. https://marquiskurt.net/wwdc-2025-will-be-the-awkward-conversation-id-be-weary-to-have/

As a child, the U.S. government forced George Takei and his parents to live in an American internment camp during WWII. After the war, his family was left without a home or any resources to get by. He went on to become an award-winning actor and a lifelong advocate for immigrants' rights.

I haven’t posted much about #Alidade since the postmortem, but I’m already at work on some new updates! Some of this requires custom UI that #SwiftUI doesn’t have out of the box, so I’ve made a small demo app that lets me prototype these components more easily. #iosdev #macdev #indiedev

This deeply concerns me. I've already contacted my senators, we cannot let this pass. If you need a quick start, you can use this petition I wrote up: resist.bot/petitions/PJ...

Tbh It's actually okay to suck at stuff you enjoy doing. You don't have to gear into competition or be the absolute best. Existing and having fun is just as worthwhile. You don't have to make money off it. You don't have to get published. You can literally just create it, fail, learn, and make more

With #Alidade now available on the App Store, I figured I’d write a #postmortem documenting the major milestones in the development process, and how it came to be. https://marquiskurt.net/alidade-postmortem/ #ios #macos #swiftui #devlog #indiedev

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Displacement announced - a first-person survival-horror game, from indie studio Obelisk. The devs have been open about announcing earlier than intended due to dried up investment threatening project closure. Any shares/coverage helps! (Wishlist on Steam)
