It seems we reached 3.5% of the American population protesting yesterday. What if we could get those 11 million people… ➡️ Involved in building community resilience and the infrastructure to strike - mutual aid networks, community meals and gardens, tenant unions, childcare networks, resource hubs?

every memorial day I think about what my dad (who is Canadian) has told me since I as a little tiny kid: memorials to those who have died in war should never be a way to glorify dying in war, but rather a reminder why we should try to do everything we can to prevent war from happening to begin with

I love that there is peer reviewed research calling ChatGPT bullshit so much 😭

To quiet her mind before trying to go to sleep, my 10-year-old has been drawing a pile of cats--adding one new cat every night. ❤️🐈‍⬛️🐈

The air feels heavier now, you know? It's difficult to function in a world where Empathy is called a sin. Where the bad guys are winning a lot of battles. Where you find out entertainers, celebrities, coworkers, friends, and even family support making life worse for others...

The abuser’s classic playbook is to isolate you from your friends, create a sense of helplessness, make it difficult to connect with others and force you to simply think about your survival from one day to the next. We are seeing that playbook applied to the nation as a whole.

How we use the internet is largely shaped by a handful of US-based tech giants. US gov't surveillance laws allow them to demand access to your private data without your knowledge or a warrant. Read the thread below for the list of European alternatives that put your privacy first. 1/16

Something I’ve heard a few times lately is some variation of “Why don’t you charge for more of your games? Why do you devalue them like that?” And like, my dudes, I’m not the one here devaluing them based on their price. Free games hold a lot of value, especially now.

The two new cats at my local animal rescue are named Catalope and Clawliflower 🥰 whoever named them deserves an award

We're running a Patreon campaign to help fund Dreamsettler, the sequel to Hypnospace Outlaw. Patrons can play a WIP build of one of Dreamsettler's minigames now, and in two weeks we're releasing Dreamsettler's Page Genie. I look forward to making silly pages together. 🌎patreon.com/Tendershoot

We recently asked why people love to support their indie bookshop and overwhelmingly folks mentioned how these spaces build community. Thank you to all the indies that champion and help build connections within our local communities ❤️ This work is noticed and deeply appreciated!

Proud of all of you worldwide! The boycott is working—Tesla shares are now in their seventh straight week of declines, marking the company’s longest losing streak since going public in 2010. Look at the stock today—beautiful work!

if we're gonna be interrogating power fantasies in games on here I regret to inform yall that you will also need to interrogate the Productivity Fantasy that underlies nearly all sim and casual games

Anyone who thinks ideation is a bottleneck in game design, in game development, is not qualified to be involved in or have influence over the process.

This Guardian article about RPG Maker is so wholesome www.theguardian.com/games/2025/f...

SEATTLE JUST VOTED TO ENACT A TAX ON MILLIONAIRE BUSINESSES TO BUILD SOCIAL HOUSING. Late results tend to favor left wing results, so the chance of this flipping in the coming days is near zero.

Closing my amazon account was such an exhilarating feeling, like oh shit but also I'm freeee

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

periodic reminder that your local animal shelter is probably full of senior dogs and cats who will bring just as much love and light to your home as a puppy or kitten. please don't overlook the old ones if you're looking to adopt, they don't deserve to die forgotten in a shelter
