For the past year, @fractalecho.bsky.social & I have been trying to understand what the shifting meaning of "accessible," from something democratic to something disabled means as public access is increasingly being revoked. We hope you read The Rise and Fall of Access. buttondown.com/TYFYFL/archi...

The kind of people who want social media debate clubs are generally also the kind of people who don't want to accept the links between those conversations that normalize saying horrible things about marginalized groups and the normalization of horrible behavior that harms marginalized groups.

I want to make it very clear that if it is THIS easy to pedojacket a trans woman with no evidence and have a lot of others ostracize her and create a harassment campaign against her, then the only eventual result will be that the number of "non ped*phile trans people" is actually 0

fwiw, here's how to quickly apply this setting to all videos from the Creator Studio. note, apparently Shorts can only opt out of video remixing, but still HAVE to allow audio remixing, for some reason insane that this has to be a per-video setting in the first place bsky.app/profile/jord...

Guess I won't be buying any more Sony games 🤷‍♀️

Feelin pretty strongly about this one 😐 youtu.be/Gz2Y9xJ9IIE

You're not supposed to hear about @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social's Dreams on a Pillow according to some very influential forces - so how about we make sure that game happens. You can crowdfund the full development of the game here. www.launchgood.com/v4/campaign/...

Yeah, I dunno I'm gonna feel pretty weird if people review this new ZA/UM game without mentioning anything of this tbh.

just got back from a vigil for juniper blessing at uw. a beautiful evening surrounded by grieving people who came together to learn and remember someone most of us never met. i feel so privileged to have heard those stories, and to be able to carry them with me. together, we save us.

idk if anyone remembers I exist but my wife and I are really really struggling right now and could use some help. any help rn would make an enormous difference. also USD to CAD conversion rates are really high so a little goes a long way 🥺 www.paypal.me/lottieblix

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

I’m afraid that too many people don’t understand just how terrible the Biden pandemic response was—and how it contributed to Trump’s return. I also fear that given how much this administration has dismantled public health, the appetite for looking back and identifying points of failure is low.

It's heartbreaking that games as a medium remain out of reach for people telling the stories worth telling most. www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfe...

Sharing my big turn-based interview one more time before the weekend, because I like it that much - insight from Naoki Hamaguchi (FF7 Rebirth director), Kenichi Goto (Persona battle planner), Thierry Boulanger (Sea of Stars director), and more. gameinformer.com/feature/2026...

if you're trans and scared and exhausted and furious and lost at sea in this cruel and spiteful epoch, i love you and i'm sorry and i know. i know. i know. but you have to stay alive anyway. if they want you dead, make them kill you first. trans rights forever. solidarity forever. we will win.

from the creator of my favorite video of last year comes a sequel to my favorite video of last year, which is probably going to be my favorite video of this year. both of his videos on AI have so heavily influenced and put shape to my vague poorly defined ideas in ways I didn't know i needed tbh

Youtube friends! Need someone to edit your audio? If your VO sounds like you're recording from the bottom of a swimming pool or eating a handful of pop rocks, let's chat! Down to send before/after audio samples. Flexible rates :D

Did a whole video on why male socialization is bullshit as a concept. Trans women are not “male socialized”, we are all socialized under patriarchy and have our behaviors policed to enforce it, & when trans ppl transition we learn the new ways in which patriarchy polices us. youtu.be/Duwf2lUkHOI?...

Out now: AI and the Murder of Truth. And Air Bud. On AI, education, fascism, paying the Dane-geld, and why there ain’t no rule says a dog can’t play basketball. The follow up to last year’s “You are a better writer than AI.” If you liked that video, this is worth your time. youtu.be/sETvPBVKBAY

A friend of mine here in Cyprus released the demo for the game he and his team have been working on. It's an action sokoban-like that looks REALLY cool and you play as a cute Witch! Please check it out and wishlist it, I love to see my local community putting out gems like this

I'm in this!!

This video is important for all of you. From AI-lovers (I don't think you follow me?) to AI-haters (I gotchu fam)

Wanderstop was just what I needed. A surprising amount of depth in places I did not expect I will be thinking on for a while, but mostly just the experience and mindset I was able to be prioritizing just playing this.

my review of Wanderstop, where I get a little autobiographical and talk more than is necessary about our relationship to labor www.grouvee.com/user/167841-...

We've started a running project to really clean up captions on the channel, so if there's any of our videos where I got lazy and let auto-captions do the work or the timing and line breaks are bad let us know *in this thread* and we'll add it to the list.

I think an uncomfortable truth we have to sit with that Biden's CDC had the same rhetoric. Obviously, what RFK Jr says here is horrible but pervelance of eugenics is a both party problem.

If you voted for Kamala, you're responsible for everything.

Some dumb stories about how I find cool communists/socialists/anarcho-cuties to hang out with. youtu.be/P1YsdCK6mYE

I need to finally start having some personal rules for blocking. First up: anyone who wastes time saying shit like “this is what you get for not voting for Kamala.” You are deeply unserious or do not experience time and this cannot see patterns

I am so incredibly hyped for this!

If you’re trans & born before 2000, when asked who you are you can legit answer: “Do not ask me for a single title, I have crossed millennia under different names and worn more than one form besides. Revered by some and feared by many, I am remembered differently in each age that survives me.”

People have gotta stop unironically using shots that include Google’s AI summary to do the “i searched the internet” thing. Please.

🧟‍♀️!!NEW VIDEO!!🧟‍♂️ In which I talk about the end of the Resident Evil series, the closest thing we currently have to an ending, and what inevitably happens to a never ending story. youtu.be/60bOlnEDCWQ

Can confirm. She actually asked me to show her how to edit and it was fun teaching and now every video I work on has an extra layer of collaboration. It makes the videos better and it makes them more meaningful to us because it's a labor of love from both of us.

I am not done yet, but already this is so good. This hits hard.

They don't make as much money on disabled bodyminds if they're at home.

NEW VIDEO! For the @theessaylibrary.com Remake Jam, I'm once again celebrating one of my all-time favourite games. No surprises but it stars Wario 🧄 📼: youtu.be/UvLEW2Oj9EM

"With Final Fantasy IX embracing the series’ roots, it also became one of Final Fantasy’s strongest political statements to date." @solfleet.bsky.social analyzes the anti-authoritarian message at the heart of Final Fantasy IX:

Oftentimes, "mutual aid" feels like a synonym for GoFundMe or Food Bank. Here's how to get creative around creating systems of community support & care. youtu.be/pngsxNze-5A

Microsoft losing the plot to the extent that games running on Linux through a compatibility layer are now not only faster but *assumed to be faster* than games running natively on Windows should be an even bigger story than it already is

We've taken money out of employee perks like private healthcare and paid pension, and put it into what we do best: Union Busting

👀

Even if you follow me, you likely can't see my last repost: a Palestinian gamedev working on the lovely Dreams on a Pillow launched a promised follow-up crowdfunding campaign. But @moderation.bsky.app labeled him spam for daring to be Palestinian, so you can't see reposts, repost him, or tag him.

being trans rules actually and the only downsides are deliberately manufactured by cis people

Very happy to reveal that Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector has been nominated for a 🚀Hugo! 🚀 I grew up reading Hugo winners and nominees, and many previously nominated and awarded books are among my biggest inspirations! www.thehugoawards.org/hugo-history...

Having one of those "I have too much going on, I could really use a day to ignore it all and play a game or something" days and just self hating a bit that I know I can't.

YouTube has removed The Ship of Theseus for containing "violent graphic content," with the offending images including a screenshot from the music video for "California" by Wax and a drawing is Charon, the ferryman of the River Styx.
