My favorite sign from today. We can do hard things. We can take action. We can wrench our future from the abyss together, and no one gets left behind.

if you're trans your job isn't actually to overthrow the government rn. focus your efforts on making sure you and your siblings survive until rising malcontent makes them collapse on their own they're bound to crash and burn. make sure you're still around when they do

Probably screaming into the void here, but damn everything feels so exhausting these days. How am I supposed to do the whole executive functioning thing, even for the things I really want to do, with all this shit going around?

my loves--please don't let the first time you reach out to your trans/nonbinary colleague be to be "more inclusionary" in your work--build relationships with us first we can tell when you are tokenizing us let's be relational, not transactional, my loves

“No amount of normalisation and ‘validation’, however, can alter the fact that AI imagery looks like shit. But that, I want to argue, is its main draw to the right. If AI was capable of producing art that was formally competent, surprising, soulful, then they wouldn’t want it.”

This is what coming out as trans, gay or whatever is like. It's the choice to stop dying and start living.

This holiday on Stained Glass Woman, we're holding the Black Sheep close, and talking about the reasons families are dysfunctional. And no, it's not your fault. It was never your fault. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/black-sheep

who knew “you’re just like the 1st preserved dinosaur butthole” could be such a good compliment?

in retrospect, should have probably spent more time asking how exactly Carmen Sandiego managed to get the liberty bell to Peru, sounds like performance levels at Customs is even worse than anyone imagined

This reddit post is a gift that keeps on giving www.reddit.com/r/techsuppor... It's five years old now, and every few weeks or months I receive a new comment from someone who had the exact same issue and also feels very dumb about it once they realized what it was.

If you want to support actual autistic people and the respect and dignity of folks who have this kind of brain as well as are adults and have jobs and lives and kids and stuff (yes we do that) check out the Autistic Self Advocacy Network. They actually have real skin in the game and do great work.

If you hit play on Dark Side of the Moon as soon as you see the Universal Studios preroll in Wicked, you will get thrown out of the theater. I have no idea if it syncs up.

I really need to figure out what I should actually be posting here before people decide I'm not a real person, lol. Never really did get that into social media, but there's been some fascinating content here that I've been enjoying seeing ❤️

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. Trans woman: These cups are either half full or half empty depending on my level of dysphoria today.

I think there should be more movies and books featuring sex scenes that add negative value to the plot. The characters are so busy fucking they miss important story points

Let me show my hand as a narrative designer: It's all narrative all the time whether you intend it to be or not. Mechanics are not just abstract tools, they mean and imply things too

Please subscribe to this, especially if you're new to the site. I would like to treat everyone with respect, and the subbasement of respect is calling people their correct pronouns.

Well, Shit. This week on Stained Glass Woman, it's time to get ready for what's coming after the most recent American election and what protections we have in place right now that'll help us fight. Shoulder to the boulder, folks. Time to get to work. stainedglasswoman.substack.com/p/well-shit

There’s all this talk that we need a leftist “Joe Rogan.” And I think that’s the wrong way to think about it. Rogan, or more explicitly people like Trump, Matt Walsh or Ben Shapiro are all selling a story - we need to be figuring out how we better sell our story over the tale of white supremacy.

Remember the eclipse back in April? Since eclipses are rare I practiced camera settings and timing... then changed travel plans, watched the weather like a hawk, and ended up driving quite a bit. It all worked out. I'm proudest of this image and would love to do projects like this more often.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Last week I learned that @unrealengine.bsky.social supports outputting logs as structured JSON. If you are doing any sort of log parsing on UE build or cook logs, you can UE_LOG_JSON_TO_STDOUT=1 in the environment setup for the process you're going to run. #gamedev

It always bugs me whenever I see stuff like "how come modders can do this but professional devs can't" the answer is just modders have essentially infinite time they can devote to one thing, and zero corporate bureaucracy to go through

I have recently learned that falcons are, genetically speaking, closer to parrots than they are other raptors, and thus from now on I shall refer to falcons solely as "tactical parrots"

doesn't it seem like if we just make life good the loneliness thing will work itself out. like what if it doesn't cost 10 hours of minimum wage to do an activity for 2 people. what if.. stuff just wasn't miserable and cold and cruel. seems like that might help.
