Finished my Marauder from Battletech Gothic today. First time using decals and I got them *mostly* where I wanted them.

oh hey! guess what got a proper logo? thats right its clutch to your heart! when a lowly janitor meets a strange talking bunny plushy they may find that their life finally will have to change... and hopefully for the better. #art #animeart #transartist #clutchtoyourheart

hi, cis folks in california! this headline leaves out that newsom has another 5 days to sign these bills into law. if you’d like to tell him he should do that to protect trans californians, you should to reach out. he also has a phone: (916) 445-2841 want to know what to say? next post! 🧵

Consumer Reports explainer for turning off AI

Been talking about this trend for years when it comes to games spending. Why are there premium gamepads, $149 collector's editions, Pro consoles and general rising prices? Because the price-insensitive, affluent players are the ones doing more of the spending as everyone else shifts more to f2p.

Part of me is interested in the FFT remake/remaster/rewhatever. Then I remember the Mandalia Plains and I don’t think I want that grind again. OTOH, I didn’t do it alone. There were three of us passing the controller. OTOH it was most of an evening. lol.

I don’t want to be ‘a downer’. I want to just post about video games and art and battletech and photos of me in my goth girl era. But man I am so tired with— everything.

anyway, reminder that Brando Sando is a mormon in good standing aka he tithes 10% of his income to a church that just announced they filed a brief saying that protecting trans rights infringes on their religious freedom ✌️

Begging people to switch to a browser that can be made safe.

oh look, it’s literally the thing i wrote about for @rollingstone.com happening in real time. as we speak. like exactly what i reported, like a carbon copy. as a reminder, here’s what i said people within the party and trans care advocates believe will most likely happen next.

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

Start putting their feet to the fire again.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

reminder to folks: Disney backing down was 0% because of a principled stance, purely a financial panic, they are not on our side and the moment they think they'll earn another dime next quarter by siding with a dictator or accepting an elon check worth more than every subscription combined they will

oh look it’s a helpful list of all the Nexstar and Sinclair ABC stations that I guess one could call if they wanted to complain about them not airing Jimmy Kimmel tonight

Call your senators and your house rep. Make a stink by being clear that abandoning trans adults and children is a no-go. Cis people, call and be loud for us. We are tired.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Ok fellow Michiganders, it’s happening here. Whitmer would likely never sign such a measure, but its existence is enough of a problem. Flood them with calls. All of them.

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

Visa hit me with the "we've given you everything, so we're hanging up now" But you know what? I just redialed and spent more time on the phone with a different agent. Payment Processors do not want to hear our opinions, but they're out of luck. Keep calling, and tell them you're not backing down.

Oh, hey. Visa and Mastercard now say you can't pay for WoW. Magic the Gathering. FFXIV. DnD. Lord of the Rings. Because they're all "adult" content against their ToS just for being "fantasy". Let that sink in. Spread this like wildfire and have people in those circles call them. No quarter.

Not to engage in petty tribalism, but listen, New Yorkers, when the time comes are we going to say we couldn’t scare off Donald Trump and his goons as handily as Chicago did? I sure as hell hope not.

Is there a luxury tax on British accents making all these actors broke or is it just the terf island background radiation making them all ignorant assholes

1. You may have heard of book bans before, but the new one in Alabama takes the cake. The Alabama Public Library Service has a new proposal that would ban—get this—only "positive depictions" of trans people. The hearing is next month. Public comment is open. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I am sincerely hands and knees begging people to do this. The existential threat is getting pretty immense and it's not slowing down, not with the gov't *openly stating* that "consensual porn" is in the crosshairs. *Please* call. Please write physical letters. Please keep the pressure on.

Last year I represented college kids arrested, suspended evicted, and expelled for bravely protesting against genocide across this state. I was one of many lawyers doing that work pro bono across the country. You know what kind of mass material support they got? Zero.

Listen to me: Our profit from the post office is the post office. Our profit from a library is the library. Our profit from a school is the school. And our profit from our lives is life. Our life. Ours.

More reasons to be anti-AI

We all need to take this seriously. Payment processors are serving as extrajudicial arbiters of speech. This cannot be allowed to continue.

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

This sums up this payment NSFW fiasco pretty well.

This is why I keep reminding everyone to keep calling. They're not backing down, they're doubling down. I know you're tired of seeing it, I am too, but we can't afford to stop. They can't be allowed to get away with it. Don't stop calling.

I refuse to accept that our future will be to live in puritan hell states. Keep calling!

This is just getting worse and worse. The payment processors are squeezing stores harder by the day, despite denying any involvement publicly.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.

shit like this cannot be ignored and is everyone's problem. there is real evil and danger happening and you will start seeing friends and family disappear if people dont step up. this is not just some guy talking shit. do your research outinstl.com/republican-c...

While defending the luddite argument in Discord, I stumbled into this IMO succinct explanation for opposing generative AI: At every step in the process, it impoverishes us.

Keep pushing, we can't let up now! This isn't just about games, it's about censorship. And they WILL censor the SFW furry and LGBTQ+ spaces, we're already seeing examples. Now is not the time for complacency, nor smugness thinking your group will be spared and only the undesirables will go.

People WILL die

He'Ll NeVeR uSe ThE miLiTaRy AgAinSt CiTiZeNs Hel military folks in case you're wondering... This is kind of the line you shouldn't cross. There's been erosion of lines already but this is it. This is literally being asked to take up arms against your own country

We hope you'll still support us through this delay - it's tough on everybody as we were doing a massive push to the finish line here, and now we're looking around like zombies. But you'll get more game, more polish, and we'll try to make it worth your while. Still would've liked to fight Silksong.
