To every one of my neighbors back in Boston, know this: You belong here. This is your home. Boston es tu hogar. Boston se lakay ou. 這是你的家. This is our city. We are the safest major city in the nation because we are safe for everyone. #Boston #Congress #CongressionalHearing #Immigration

This. Inflation affects us all, unlike big businesses we don't generally hike prices for profits. Its a miracle if we break even. >.>

Spending some time this morning with @yellowbrickgames.bsky.social 's Eternal Strands, trying my hand at slightly shorter streams to get my rhythm back. :) Would love to see you: twitch.tv/intelligame

Meadhbh, the Warrior I had the pleasure to paint for @oldoakgames.bsky.social She is from the Quick Start of BEYOND THE WOODS, an upcoming ttrpg adventure based on Irish mythology. If you like dark fantasy, exploration and survival, the Kickstarter is launching soon. 💙 #ttrpg #darkfantasy

Hey. Hey. Al Green did the thing. Instead of only being mad at the people who didn't, let's celebrate that.

Don't say DEI. Use the full words so when people say they're against it, they say exactly what they're against: diversity, equity, and inclusion. Speaking as a former Microsoft manager, a diverse team is stronger, more efficient, and makes a lot fewer dumb mistakes.

A little rule of law, as a treat

⚠️ PSA to trans folks going to GDC by plane ⚠️ SFO doesn’t have TSA. It has private contractors called CAS (Covenant Aviation Security) Their track record with trans folks is not good. Be careful If they give you trouble, stand your ground No matter what, DO NOT let them take you to a private room

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!

I'm not sure which of you need to hear this, but: If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present. Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

People have done this to Kitsune Tails. I wish it was an indie megahit so I'd be set for life instead of in the uncanny valley of financial anxiety (buy my gay fox girl game store.steampowered.com/app/1325260/...) but please understand that this is still what a top performing indie game looks like

We need more elected Dems who hate politics. We need folks who aren't "go along to get along" types. I want Dems who understand that the old ways of doing things are dead and that friendships with elected Republicans are now a conflict of interest.

Just saw a post where someone said that use of em dashes (—) was a giveaway that you're using AI for writing. Uh, no. It could just mean you like to use em dashes.

Reminder: You don't need to watch any political event to be informed, and I definitely recommend against watching tonight's speech. It will benefit you not at all. Read the news, ignore the event.

“No” is a full sentence.

Please please ALT TEXT YOUR IMAGES. I'm seeing so many cool things lately that I can't share because they don't have alt text. If you want your art, your screenshots, your message to get to a wider audience on here, the simple action of writing alt text for it will help.

LEGISLATION INTRODUCED IN ILLINOIS TO DECRIMINALIZE SEX WORK!! “The bill would remove criminal penalties for adults engaged in consensual paid sex, and remove arrest and conviction records for prostitutes. It would also create a sex workers’ bill of rights.” #SexWork 🧡🖤

I feel like we're rushing to conclusions here. Did anyone check to be sure they didn't spontaneously explode when someone turned them on?

Game writers, you'll be glad to know that Yarn Spinner rejects using GenAI. "What troubles me most is how AI threatens to devalue human creativity by suggesting that the creative process itself—the vision, the intention, the evolution—doesn’t matter." hey.paris/posts/genai/

Auditions are steadily coming in, and we have five roles available: Patrick, Fionn, Orla, Laura, and Cat. We would LOVE to hear more auditions for Orla, Laura or Cat.

“We mustn't burn bridges with the USA. Because we have so many eggs in the American basket. But what the UK and Europe have to do, is to start moving our eggs out of that f***ing basket - and quickly.” @pimlicat.bsky.social

No Other Land Co-Director Yuval Abraham: "The foreign policy in this country is helping to block this path. Why? Can't you see that we are intertwined? There is another way. It's not too late for life, for the living. There is no other way."

At max, you can expect to infect 5-7 people with COVID. That’s considered pretty transmissible, which is why we (tried to) lock down about it. An infected person will give measles to 16-18 other people. It’s extremely virulent It’s long past time for you to wear a mask again.

The 2025 Oscar winner for best documentary "No other land" which describes the horrors of living under Israeli occupation and settler efforts to expel the Palestinian citizens, hasn't found a distributor in the USA. You can watch it LEGALLY FOR FREE here. nootherland.mekomit.co.il

THIS IS HUGE! For the FIRST time ever, researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have successfully discovered a molecular switch that can actually REVERT cancer cells BACK TO NORMAL by capturing the critical transition state before full cancer development. 🧪🧵⬇️

Benefits of wearing masks: - Befuddle any would be DOGE facial recognition programmers - Health - Considerate of the immunocompromised - Similarity to comic book characters - The worst people in the world don’t want you to do it, so they’ll be big mad.

Saddened to learn that JD Vance’s family vacation was ruined due to protesters. Do better, guys. You don’t have to wait until he’s on vacation—every day that ends in Y is a chance to revel in that man’s misery.

Ramadan Mubarak! Keep an eye out for your communities and your Muslim friends in the west, and ALL eyes on both Gaza and the West Bank as attacks are always spiking this time of year. Doubly so during Eid, at the end of the month. (And yes, Ramadan Mubarak or Kareem are both good greetings!)

It boggles my mind that some people who loved Superman and Captain America as kids grew up to cheer for Lex Luthor and the Red Skull.
