i kindof hate that i feel the need to look at my selfies with my geoguessr eyes to see if i'm doxxing myself. im seriously considering restaging my favorite recent selfie in a more nondescript area than my actual front door. (just to be clear no one's trying to dox me right now)

Y'all I WILL be the last person standing at any wedding I go to, not even a competition

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

i never feel more like a real game developer than when the programmers all gather at my post and say nice things like "wow i've never seen an error like this"

im on my self-actualization arc, straight up life-maxxing out here

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

What if I decided to have no free time

Really on some "my weekend as a 28 year old in Chicago" type shit this weekend which feels embarrassing

I don't think I've ever made my dad more upset on the phone than tonight when I told him I thought the AMC Gremlin might be a fun car to restore if I ever got into restoring cars which I'm not doing.

Just watched a huge bug sprint across my wall, presumably lose it's grip, and yeet itself in a beautiful parabolic arc into my bed where I now cannot find it.

He just like me fr fr

wish I knew how to subtweet

when agent dale cooper twin peaks says "that's a damn fine cup of coffee" what you've got to remember is that its most likely some 1990s bunn-o-matic slop and yet he still loves it and cherishes the experience and i think that's beautiful and really important

Maybe we could find out. Mastercard (US): 1-800-627-8372 Mastercard (Int.): +1-636-722-7111 Visa (US + Can): 1 800 847 2911 Visa (AUS): 1 800 125 440 PayPal: +44-0203-901-7000

And we have known that this was the fail point for years, because SWers told us. But too many folks can’t imagine their work being classified as “obscene” (or illegal, etc) even as history gives us any number of examples of just that.

what's this?! a SECOND role at KO_OP?!?!?! that's right, we're hiring another programmer!!!!! www.workwithindies.com/careers/ko-o...

So you know how Steam updates their TOS to restrict "NSFW" content at the request of payment processors like Visa and Mastercard? The group behind that pressure campaign is coming after Itch.io. If you are selling books on itch, this concerns you. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Sorry but personally if a miniature horse woke me up from anesthesia by banging out nonsense on a miniature keyboard it would send me into a liminal space between life and death from which I would never return

Turns out people who only touch grass don't know about the phrase touching grass

The grass has never been more touched

A very happy 30th birthday to bisexuality, born this day in 1995 🎂

Valve just updated their Steam rules to ban content that “may violate rules set by payment processors or banks.” Sounds boring. It’s not. It’s the quiet normalization of financial censorship and it’s going to hurt LGBTQ+ games and devs

come work with me!

every couple of years i find my backups of the dj mixes i made in ableton live intro in 2012, before i knew what an equalizer or a compressor or a loudness standard was, before i'd ever been to anything resembling a live dj set, when i was just a lil farm kid with a computer and uTorrent and a dream

The thing about going to small niche concerts on a Tuesday is no one else wants to go with you. I'm ALSO busy, I ALSO have work tomorrow, I'm ALSO skipping other plans.

if you cancel your NYT games subscription there’s great alternatives for newspaper games like @puzzmo.com … www.puzzmo.com

"mommy why is Teheran a green crater" "well, this one video game about depression got a good review from an ex boyfriend..."

9 years ago the NBA pulled the All-Star Game out of North Carolina because of their anti-trans Bathroom Law. The choice had massive public support and was applauded Less than a decade later and half the country has those laws, including Congress itself, and barely anyone blinks LESS THAN A DECADE

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago. What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored. Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

With July coming up, I've got some availability for more audio projects:

When Dobbs came down, the media rightly saw it as the culmination of a decades long effort to eliminate abortion rights by the conservative legal movement. When Skrmetti came down, the media blamed trans people and not that same conservative legal machine. It's the same court and lawyers.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every state is a purple state. Today is a great reminder not to abandon the good work being done to organize in politically isolated areas.

Folks, remember

Fuck em up LA

I was going through old playlists and found the old demo ep of my friends band from college. it made me feel a kind of way so I recorded a cover and sent it to them and now it's 5am. sorry about the days aparts and in betweens.

I don't really consider myself an audio programmer but I do be programming a lot of audio these days, much to think about...

The game industry is a little chaotic right now and I'm trying to do something about it: We're working to raise funds for diverse video game music composers. If that's you and you're interested, please fill out this form! and please share far and wide!! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Last night, we were one of the first outlets to report the ADULT ban on gender affirming care for Medicaid recipients who depend on it to access it. This morning, that bill passed 215-214-1. It now goes to the senate. It's a bleak day for transgender Americans.

I know, probably couldn't hurt an evil tech giant like this, but also couldn't hurt to share this again anyhow.

I have to wear a glucose monitor for a study for 14 days and I just got home and immediately hit my arm on a door and pulled it out after like 3 hours. I guess I'm just used to moving through the world with sub-centimeter accuracy and the monitor really threw me off.

Hey, I know it's been over a month and that exceeds the usual working memory of the games industry, but Microsoft via its gaming interests are specifically a target of BDS. www.rockpapershotgun.com/bds-calls-fo...

I don’t care if you hate porn. Please for the love of god don’t get stuck there cognitively. Anti-porn legislation + how trans and NB people (even cis drag queens/kings) are being consistently described as sexually deviant = the groundwork is being laid for all queer expression to be made illegal.

The critical part to remember is this: These people do not define pornography the way you do: they mean LGBTQ+ representation, they mean sex ed, they mean Netflix, they mean literature, they mean video games, they mean healthcare, they mean political speech. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

92 years ago today, the Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld Institute for Sexuality, where the first study of trans people was conducted, and burned all of its contents. Fitting that today is also the day SCOTUS greenlights the project of the eradication of trans people from society in the US.
