The #Overwatch2 Team has unionized 🛡️ Nearly 200 Developers across Art, QA, Engineering, and Design have joined the CWA. Key reasons include pay gaps, remote work limits, and a push for clear protections around crunch, time off, and severance in case of future layoffs.

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

Also, money received through the app is witheld from the creator for 75 DAYS. So not only are you as a member being charged extra, the creator has to wait 2.5 months to get it. It's bad for everyone. Sub through the mobile site or desktop!

You don't need to be in brooklyn for this. Go get some books!

Rando friends me, then begs for money. No darlin’, there’s no money to be had here. Have a block.

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.

The Pacific Rim engineers that spent weeks building a 30-foot bowie knife for a mech suit to draw from its ankle sheath must have been muttering “Hell yeah” the whole time

Learned about the #SudburyBasin tonight at the gem and mineral club meeting. Neat place.

“I would never apologize for photographing rocks. Rocks can be very beautiful…” 🪨📸 February 20, 1902 , birthday of American landscape photographer and environmentalist Ansel Easton Adams (1902-1984). He is best known for his black-and-white images of the American West.

February 15, 1848, German Geological Society is founded. One of the oldest scientific organizations, naturalists like Alexander von Humboldt (famous for his travel accounts) & Leopold von Buch (introduced the Jurassic & guide fossils) were among its founding members

Don't bust into people's mentions to say that something potentially good doesn't matter. Don't bust into people's spaces to discourage them from fighting however they can. Why is this hard for some of y'all?

The stunning Indigenous Canada flag created by Kwakwaka'wakw artist Curtis Wilson. His design for the flag is meant to represent First Nations in Canada to the public. In reflection, with gratitude and humility 🙏.

“If a married woman hasn’t paid $130 to update her passport —assuming she has one, which only about half of Americans do— she may not be able to vote in the next election if the SAVE Act becomes law,” @wendyweiser.bsky.social tells Glamour

Note, this only applies to institutions in AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MA, ME, MD, NV, NJ, NM, NY, NC, OR, RI, VT, WA, and WI - because the injunction applies only "within Plaintiff States" Institutions in states with red governors/AGs - Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, etc. - remain screwed

Picking up sketching and coloring again. It’s been way too long. Had to buy new supplies because I haven’t found my old ones (chronic health issues), but got new colored pencils that I like.

Bandcamp lets us keep 85% of revenue. That is the best rate of anybody out there. Over a period of about 15 years, I have taken home ~$3000. Every album is "pay what you want", so you all rock. If you bought an album for $5 then you gave me more than streaming the whole album ~300 times.
