Good moment to remind ourselves about causes of terrorism- from DOJ: “militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States” and that “the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism”.

ICYMI on Thursday: Hawaii's Supreme Court keeps releasing opinions that denounce the U.S. Supreme Court. They call the Roberts court “pretend law.” The latest? A ruling that requires the police to record all interrogations, with more shots at SCOTUS from Hawaii Justice Eddins.

It hasn't even been a year.

It should be needless to say, but it is perhaps at this moment worth saying, that transgender individuals have the same right as anyone else to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I'm a mess but we COULD potentially finish by the #yaoijam deadline... LOL #indiedev #yaoijam2025 #omegaversejam

charlie kirk has received infinitely more sympathy and support from liberals than every single trans person, immigrant, and palestinian combined

Turning Point USA made a literal watch list of professors, primarily women, queer folks and people of color, and made us targets of political violence. I’ve received hate mail and harassment and death threats off and on for nearly a decade in part due to that man’s organization so 🤷🏽‍♀️

George Floyd was a father too and Charlie Kirk called him a “scumbag.”

A whistleblower has revealed that the Trump administration is uploading the confidential Social Security information of millions to an insecure cloud server, putting our data at a high risk of being leaked or hacked.

Because some people haven't heard it yet: PAYPAL IS NOT A BANK, DO NOT LEAVE MORE THAN A COUPLE HUNDRED DOLLARS SITTING IN YOUR ACCOUNT AT ANY TIME. MOVE IT TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY. Paypal can and will close your account and steal all your money without warning. And have done MANY times.

It’s not that people aren’t mentally or physically incapable it’s that these are jobs people need to have skill and experience to perform and they’d prefer to believe it’s about “grit” and genetic predisposition.

Friends (esp if you live in CA) we REALLY need signatures on this petition supporting Bill AB412 - the AI Copyright Transparency Act. TLDR = this will require AI corps to be transparent about what is in their datasets! Signing takes 1 min. Once you sign, PLEASE SHARE!! tinyurl.com/4uxbp963

how I feel since 2016 or so

Yes! For anyone who missed the news, the government must now allow those impacted by Trump's order to receive a passport with their correct gender listed while our case proceeds. The State Department issued guidance for how to apply for a new or updated passport. We recommend applying now.

First Amendment, we hardly knew ye.

Cuba now allows trans people to change ID gender markers without requiring surgery - LGBTQ Nation www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/07/cuba...

you're gonna wanna make sure your game is as friendly to payment processors as possible, something like an online casino that connects 10 year olds to 45 year old roleplaying partners

(pleaseeee share! it costs $0.00 to share a small disabled/queer/Asian/Native -owned shop 🩷 it helps a lot! ;w;) pink plushies assemble !! 🩷 if u like pink, i gotchu~ which one is your fav? 🥹 💌 strawbunnycake.com #kawaii ♡ #plushies ♡ #cute

really good write-up of this whole situation with payment processors enabling right-wing censorship of adult games www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

Lying by an officer should be a one-strike-you're-fired situation, and the officers who did so should all be prosecuted. I won't hold my breath. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

i've written an article on how the group that went after itchio/steam's payment processors used the most morally objectionable content they could find to target queer and adult media and how they are definitely part of the religious right: mimidoshima.neocities.org/main/posts/2...

Somehow, ValiDate was not unlisted on Itch despite all of our tags. fuck censorship, you can pick up a copy for FREE until the 31st enjoy ;) validategame.itch.io/validate-str...

Fuck the SCOTUS six. Trans kids deserve care.

The fact that a term such as “reverse discrimination” exists is an admission that gives away the whole game: Even they are defining the normal discrimination as being against people who aren’t white and straight.

a collection of crabs! 🦀✨ #art #captaincrab

Happy Pride Month! #LGBTQ #TransRightsAreHumanRights #ProtectTransKids

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect. This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus. www.supremecourt.gov/docket/docke...

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

PSA: Disabled people do NOT deserve to: - Go hungry - Be made homeless - Lose their scooters & cars - Be discriminated at work - Dehumanised as “scroungers” - Receive poor care - Abused - Attacked In fact, no-one deserves those things. So why is it ok for disabled people?

"When Kimberlé Crenshaw’s intersectionality framework is banned, when Nikole Hannah-Jones’s 1619 Project is deemed dangerous, when Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and other literary masterpieces are labeled “inappropriate,” the message is clear: our full humanity threatens the established order."

The metaverse budget could have funded literally one million indie videogames, instead we get Second Life’s suburban cousin, who was once at a party where someone smoked weed but didn’t go near enough to smell it because they had work the next day and didn’t want to be weird

The fantasy genre is so great. I love it. It has endless possibilities like dragons, sky islands, flying whales, and affordable living

I’ve been trying to find the best fragrance/perfume podcasts available and have found some gems, but also some podcasts that are completely insufferable (I won’t name names but…woof). My favorites (so far): -Perfume Room -Paperback Perfumes -Smell Ya Later #fragrancesky

Hey, Black Owned Perfume Business by a Black Perfumer during Black History Month. Can I get some love on the timeline folks?

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Today in US History: On Feb. 3, 1870, the 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution was ratified, granted black men the right to vote. It was passed by Congress on February 26, 1869. Black Americans were set free by the 13th amendment. The 14th Amendment guaranteed citizenship. #BlackHistoryMonth

grind the government to a halt stop voting for any nominees, object to every unanimous consent, do a rotating talking filibuster on the senate floor going over the transformation of the United States into Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s personal fiefdom act like what’s happening is happening

It would be nice to see mainstream media acknowledge that every alarmist in their ranks about Trump and his henchmen has been correct, and every single "Let's all calm down" guy--a posture of blasé detachment that is consistently over-rewarded in legacy media--has called it wrong from day one.

Can we please remember that very recently South Korea showed us all what we should do when the president does illegal shit

You know, if a small percentage of the US Electorate were just fine with a woman President, I'd be sitting here on a Saturday morning, enjoying my coffee, and not Doom Scrolling wondering what on earth is going on

In gamedev, we joke about how we shouldn't care so much because "we ain't curing cancer" so chill, right? But you know what? These last few weeks reminded me that the Arts, esp accessible Art like videogames is incredibly important because games have a big place in sculpting cultural norms.
