i sewed the hems and elastic channels in place today, as well as my tiny lil ears, therefore i am a god and nothing will ever stop me

listen, i love my big, dumb, melodramatic cinema, especially related to dinosaurs…but wow uh, not even 15 minutes into JW rebirth there’s already two instances of product placement…and one was a plot device????

my girlfriend thinks i am so fucking old because i call my phone my instagram machine WELL THE JOKE IS ON THEM NOW!!! IM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO CALLS THINGS WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTIONS [FUNCTION] MACHINES

Hey hi hello the Aurora Borealis is doing stuff in Kansas again.

ok so, one thing about me. i’m insane and i like what i like and will rewatch and replay things a zillion times, unless I’m aghast by the ending. AOI has inspired me to kick up TOTK again. TELL ME WHY I JUST NOTICED WHICH DRAGON IS THE FIRST DRAGON YOU SEE RIGHT AS YOU START THE GAME IN TOTK

my heart wants a beautiful, neatly arranged home like the ones featured in architectural digest. but my spirit wants to adopt as many cats and dogs as my living space humanely allows. very difficult dilemma.

Nearly sobbed on my break at work today because I realized I could read nearly every note in a violin solo piece from TOTK today and it actually seems somewhat feasible for me to play in the future 😭 I’M DOING THE FUCKING THING

Chatting with Future Class inductees for my latest at @theguardian.com. They paint a pretty clear picture of the perils of performative allyship. Thanks to all who spoke with me, and always, to Keza for the chance to do important work!

i lovingly call my metal allergies the silliest allergy on the planet because i’m literally allergic to ✨forks✨ but it’s even sillier because i can’t even do minor home repairs without setting my skin on fire becAUSE OF RUST GODDAMMIT

Hi writers! I’m looking to assign a couple of features for Slate before the end of the year. If you have anything in mind that you think would be a fit please send me a pitch! Jenée.Desmond- [email protected] or dm me. RTs are appreciated so this can reach more people. Thanks!

Hi-Fi Rush's Soundtrack Delisted From All Major Streaming Platforms Without Warning (OST still on Steam) www.thegamer.com/hi-fi-rush-s... also worth noting that the game was removed from PC stores (stores that sell Steam codes) last month. Not sure anyone else noticed at the time

recession indicator: Nintendo is actually allowing discounts on 7 year old Mario games

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

For non-subscribers, here's a gift: For the next 30 days, Aftermath subscriptions for new readers are on sale at $1 for your first month: aftermath.ghost.io/11-06-2025...

Despite the ravages of age and an internet steeped in misinformation, your eyes – in this one case – do not deceive you: Website different. It’s taken an immense amount of time and effort, but welcome to Aftermath version 2.0: aftermath.site/aftermath-rela...

i will repeat: this is psychological torture for SNAP recipients.

*whispers* It is a faithful adaptation of an early 1800s novel by a woman about an arrogant self centered man Why are people

bluesky branding refresh unveiled

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

your honor, every single crunchwrap is more supreme than this court

we’ve now landed on the ✨god-tier✨ nickname, and it’s Jibotle

so proud of all the marginalised devs who have refused to shut up and be grateful. the fight for justice continues, all the stronger without "allies" who are anything but kotaku.com/game-awards-...

"the SNAP recipients can go get a job" WHERE?! WORK WHERE?! There are no jobs.

The current U.S. government shutdown is now the longest closure in American history. From SNAP benefits to travel concerns and small businesses, we track the economic impacts.

i’m not deleting Future Class from my bio. they might have deleted the archives, but they can’t take that achievement away from me. Geoff was not involved in the process at all, and so he gets no say on whether i can still claim being inducted into the first class.

Games industry forces RTOs (often involving moving cities for a job that may not exist in a few months) because being in office together on zoom is just ~*so heckin valuable*~ but then replaces as many people as they can get away with with chatbots because the human connection doesn’t matter Hmm!

looks like all mention of the future class program (which started in 2020) has been wiped from TGA webpage 🤪 the only archive that proves it existed is through the wayback machine. Here's my cohort (the last one): web.archive.org/web/20241119...

it's so important to have one cat who never leaves your side for one moment and another cat who just yells at you for food

age of imprisonment,,,Nintendo got me so bad guys

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

A seeming bit of history tonight as Ghazala Hashmi becomes the first Asian American to win statewide office in Virginia - and the first Muslim woman to win statewide office *anywhere* in the United States.

not like us blaring in the background of the NBC newscast on the NYC mayoral race is just too 🧑‍🍳👌🏻

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

i love being almost identical to my older sister because when she’s having trouble with her makeup, all i have to do is reference my own face and bone structure

I love women

gave out old Bluesky invite codes to trick or treaters this year. they set my lawn on fire and called me a bitch

it begins (my Covid vaccine curse)

i simply did not have the spoons to do a proper costume this year, so please enjoy my costume from last year! It was my first time doing drag and I made the wig myself. Aside from the blur and sparkles, all of this shoot was practical. (i stg if bsky flags this is adult content - IT IS NOT!)

Pantone-san and their favorite outfit: subscription models and DRM

With corporate America pushing AI to replace workers, our education system putting AI into classrooms and kids using AI to do their homework for them, feels like we're on the precipice of another Dark Age. Which is ironic and unsettling since tech is ostensibly to give us all the world's info
