There’s not a lot of contact info for Udon available, just their customer service email, but Capcom USA has two offices fans can contact to let them know about the problematic director of publishing working on their IPs.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

If you are able, speak up on behalf of your friends and colleagues who are in a precarious position and do what you can to push leadership to do the right things. It hasn’t lead to anything public but I sent a message to my CEO. Silence is obeying in advance

5calls has pre-written prompts that make it even easier for you to contact your reps - if you haven't yet, take a minute to do so today. 5calls.org/issue/usps-u...

some talking points other than the obvious if you need them: - this is governmental overreach - this increases the chances of having to strip at the airport for *everyone* - what about intersex people - this is wasteful and inefficient and a dumb use of government resources

Hey fellow Americans, actionable thing you can do to help trans people.

Are you disabled? Do you Amazon Prime? Here's a cool way they don't advertise to get almost 50% off! Go to Amazon Prime. Change plan At the bottom, discount for students or EBT. Click EBT. Choose other. Here, you can submit a document proving you are on SSI, Medicaid, SNAP, Etc. That's it! Enjoy!

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

Hey I know times are scary but it's super easy to bitch publicly at these institutions in a way that matters so please do!

saw this on twitter, Stephen Worth made some extremely good points about what originality is animation production design these days and how nostalgia sometimes passes this point of no return in terms of relatability... ...and what it means to be a consumer vs a creative as an animation artist

I just added more things to this list today: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

hello cis friends this is what people mean by trans genocide if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

Transgender men's invisibility is violent erasure. Sam Nordquist, a 24-year-old transgender man, was tortured for over a month to death, and his slaughter is not being considered a hate crime. The media has gone to disgusting lengths to minimize Sam's transgender identity. Hardly anyone is outraged.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

'woke' was a term black people used to remind each other to stay aware about institutional discrimination. 'stay woke' was said to not take cops at their word and they are not friends, keep focused on what they're doing. it just occured to me if you're a decade-plus younger you might not know that

HEADLINE: Texas measles outbreak rises to 48 cases. It’s the state’s WORST in nearly 30 YEARS. There is absolutely NO REASON measles outbreaks should be on the rise. Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% EFFECTIVE against measles. So, let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND others. 🧪🧵⬇️

My thoughts on realism in movies and games

Go to this page, scroll down to the bottom, inform them the page was not helpful, and then you get 500 characters to tell them how disgusting removing every mention of trans people on the website is.

Happy Valentines Day! Remember, even if you’re not in a romantic relationship, today is a day of love. So tell your friends and family that you love them (platonically). And, as always, remember to love yourself 😊

Give your Disney Plus subscription to a marginalized artist's Patreon instead

This is beyond pseudohistory, it’s dangerous. Pure fascism. It is a FACT that Stonewall, riots that changed LGBTQ rights globally, would not have happened without the lead of trans & non-binary people. To erase them, in this way, is despicable, cowardly & to appease Nazism.

Please, if you haven't yet after all that's happened, just leave that awful site. It actually does absolutely nothing for you.

KEEP YELLING. KEEP SUING.

AI-bros use the term 'AI' to refer to LLMs and AGI because they WANT to confuse you; they want you to associate the term 'AI' with those products. AI just means artificial intelligence - anything designed to execute logic. That word has a wide range of uses that aren't generative or derivative

Tesla's stock is ridiculously overvalued, and even a modest consumer boycott could tank the company, which accounts for the majority of Elon Musk's wealth. The divestment movement weakened apartheid South Africa. Let's do that again. slate.com/business/202...

You might be in need of good news today so here's some from NJ, where the Superior Court just ruled to protect trans and gender diverse students in three school districts from forced outing 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Wikipedia is rolling out anonymity features piloted in countries with authoritarian governments in the US & is making a change to not show editor IP addresses in response to a global "increase in threats" from Elon Musk, Heritage Foundation, and governments www.404media.co/wikipedia-pr...

A lot of people are saying some variation of "BIG TECH ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS" and like yeah of course they're not. No shit they're not. But for all of us who know that, it's still fuckin' sad and scary and infuriating.

If you can do nothing else, please help share this so that it may reach eyes who are better equipped to help in the times to come. Trans rights are human rights.

I knew the Super Bowl was coming soon, but I legit forgot it was today. I don’t really watch (or care about) football, so I hope everyone else has fun

watch out for this! for folks who don't know: - windows+R opens the run window which lets you run any program - ctrl+V pastes so this puts some malicious command on your clipboard, then convinces you to run it yourself. don't.

This is great reporting, it's also an extremely important story to track.

thank you to evegwood on tumblr for making people (including me) aware: comicfury has put out a call for financial help and is asking for patreon donations to keep the site running. comicfury.com/forum/viewth...

Costco, which has come out saying it supports DEI, will make no changes to its existing programs, AND pays workers a minimum of $30/hour, is up 15% YTD. Target, which announced it is ending all DEI programs and has a minimum wage of $15-$24/hour, is down over 4%. Keep voting with your wallet.

Just a reminder: Seattle has until this Tuesday (Feb 11th) to turn in ballots that can both hit the wealthy where it hurts while also building the long term public-housing-for-all we've been waiting for. Please vote Yes on 1A, please tell your Seattle friends- turnout is only 15% right now.

HEADLINE: CDC posts, then deletes, data on bird flu spread between cats and people. The data which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. It is evident the CDC is being muzzled SO let’s talk about what YOU can do to PROTECT yourself AND your pets. 🧪🧵 ⬇️
