When humanity’s spaceships tried to leave the solar system we found an invisible barrier. Unmanned probes could pass through, people could not. On closer study scientists discovered the elliptical orbits of the planets formed a pentagram

I've been really appreciating people whose work isn't always explicitly political but have still been making space to stand up for goodness and compassion! It's very meaningful to see, imo!!!

Tough thing about social media is you keep connecting with people you click with and would really get on with if you met offline, but are unlikely to ever cross paths with IRL. All you can do is continue sharing little jokes and thoughts, and standing outside their window at night, breathing heavily

oh my gosh! so cuuuuute! i have two senior pups myself and they are absolutely planning to shut the government down, they’re trying to figure out how to make dems own it. dems’ response should be “sounds like a you problem, mike!”

Some localised Other Games screenshots, because this is probably not something I've talked about enough! Localising a project with 20 different games into 20 different languages runs into a lot of little problems to figure out!

Does anybody out there still have a BX Foundry BX-110 SNES joystick? I am wondering how the sticks I built in 2019 are holding up after 5-6 years of use

this is what serving your country really means and it should be something we admire and these assholes are turning it into a dirty phrase and throwing away these people like they’re nothing so many dedicated public servants, gone for no reason

King Théoden shit right here

Last spring I was asked to write a piece with tips on how to suss out AI-generated images.

What strikes me now…1/n

Would it be helpful for there to be like. A social media account that is just very short interviews with federal workers who have been let go, explaining what they did and what is not going to be done now and what that means for people

It’s true!!! Some of the minis featured in the trailer were painted by yours truly 😊 More to come, too!

Word on the street is that the the gorgeous paint jobs on the models are courtesy of the amazing @daggers.tv. So hyped for this!

Toronto peeps!

I’ve never seen this spread before but wowww I love the way the lettering just throws legibility to the wind and leans in on pure vibes. It’s so expressive!

Presenting "Terry's Other Games"! A messy little collection of short games I've made over the past 20 years, out now on Steam and Itch! <3 Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2824580/... Itch: terrycavanagh.itch.io/terrys-other...

Sure the world has never in our lifetimes felt more precarious but also I just ate a beet salad in my ivory Aran sweater and manage not to ruin it so I’ll take this as a win.

Ireland is now at 84.91% of it's threshold to count as one of the seven #EU countries to get this initiave to ban LGBT conversion "therapy" which means we need 1,383 more signatures here.....#Spéirgorm
