Only during Pride month, you can right click on any rodent pic in our game and pride flag hearts will randomly appear! ...joking, it's available all year, we never stop being gay

The queen herself, @ikuminakamura.bsky.social has finally revealed her super cool and stylish yokai hunting game, Kemuri, set to launch in 2027 for PlayStation 5. @playstation.com #StateOfPlay #Kemuri checkpointgaming.net/news/2026/06...

I might have discovered #retro handhelds about 24 hours ago. I might also have engaged in retail therapy on the #Retroid website. 🙃

Why are there so many therapists that only know how to harm trans folks? And how do I keep finding them? Starting to feel like it's better for my mental health to stay away.

Yes. Using a computer now feels like this at all times.

I have cited the #DnD Player's Handbook in research papers more than once, but this will be my first time citing the #Metroid Instruction Booklet and #Nintendo Power. 🤣

Hey trans & questioning friends who read The Egg Prime Directive this fall: did the book help crack your egg or otherwise contribute to your journey of gender discovery? I'd love to chat with you about that, & I'd love to be able to include a testimonial in the final published version! DM me?

The great con: "It sent a billionaire co-founder to the Vatican to solemnly intone about the specter of mass job loss and the importance of caring for the poor...[3] days later issues a press release about its massive new funding round & resultant sub-$1 trillion valuation" @bcmerchant.bsky.social:

Successful intro to #DnD with the kids. Bahamut is now canonically based on Lily Tomlin for their human form, with 7 golden butterflies.

Aww thanks, sis! I still can't believe the last time we were in-person was such a disaster phase... 😭

Interesting observation about being #trans in #academia. Pre-transition, no student ever called me "Mr.", only "Dr." or "Prof.". The amount of times I get called "Ms." since coming out, though, is quite substantial. Often with my first name.

Hearing from people who have listened to the new album over the last week about how the music is resonating with them is legitimately the coolest thing!! These songs have been the soundtrack of my life for almost 18 months—knowing they're bouncing around in other heads now feels like magic!

REVIEW: Blueberry "Blueberry very much advocates for people to seek help if they are suffering with their past, and it’s admirable how they depict the journey as one that isn’t linear, isn’t easy and is unique to every single person." @gamesmellow.bsky.social checkpointgaming.net/reviews/2026...

Today I’m proud to be trans. The world might think we’re delusional, weird, icky, and not human, but I think we’re creative, visionary, and everywhere. And tired. Very, very, tired.

The animation chat has me thinking one telling thing - in the years since AI arrived, there's not been a ground-up indie phenomenon, like we saw with earlier tech (Flash, etc). It hasn't unlocked anyone's creativity. For all the anti-gatekeeping rhetroic, nothing anyone cares about has been born.

It really does feel crazy experiencing climate change through extreme weather and have the gov cheerlead massive ai data centres and want to do away with net zero all together

Next week I'm speaking as part of this Bergen Pride event on Queer Games and AI Resistance. Looking forward to being in conversation with co-panelists Daniella Gati and Joakim Johansen Østbye. Thanks to @jilltxt.bsky.social for the invitation! www4.uib.no/en/research/...

as always, the consent violations are part of the point

I kept contemplating playing Genshin but... nevermind.

Spotted in San Diego. “WE THE STUDENTS DO NOT WANT THIS AI IS MORE HARMFUL THAN HELPFUL”

At last, as of today our new book is officially available in the US as well!

Could there be a better example of "the trans debate" than 98% of women supporting trans people and then one single lone person voting against them and getting their way regardless. It's all such a fucking sham

I just had to fill one of these out and the ADS! I could feel my computer crying out in pain.

Deeply disrespectful to the entire Australian cultural sector that the Office of the Arts can't be bothered actually reading all the submissions people are working very hard on for the National Cultural Policy, and instead will be asking genAI for a summary. www.arts.gov.au/have-your-sa...

Metroid's Samus is Trans! My first video on #videogame #history and #transgender experiences. If you enjoy, I'd appreciate sharing! 😊 I'm aiming to make these a regular thing. #metroid #samus youtube.com/shorts/kEhH0...

New article out! Its called "Leisure or Labour: An Aesthetic Reading of Playing Stardew Valley" in the latest special issue of Well Played titled 'Well Read Games'. playstorypress.org/well-played-...

I always love a good nonogram / picross puzzle and this one is one of the best. Accessible while fun and challenging to veterans. That it's built into a larger loop of setting up furniture for your customisable rat avatar is a huge bonus. #picross #nonogram #review

Cosmic Princess Kaguya #review: A heartwarming yuri love story set in the near future + an online world. It features a really fun fusion of old Japan and sci fi. The animation is fluid and as silly as needed. Bonus: no fanservice! I absolutely loved it; probably in my top 10. #anime

if any AI bro tries to claim to you (as they very often do generally) that we don't understand these models, remember: they are creating a false narrative even, especially, under scientific meanings of terms like "understanding"

Producing video is a lot of work. Which is no surprise to anyone who does it, but I feel like every friction I've run into is not actually relating to the production work. It's all just software frustrations.

A common comment on my videos about LLM "hallucinations" is that this isn't as much of a problem because LLMs "cite their sources" now. This is a category error. Citing a source implies it was consulted. LLMs do not consult, even with RAG. A citation might be *included* but it's not *consulted*.

Anyway here’s the passage of Judith Butler that the Guardian censored years ago

Surviving the Horrors, the album from Moth Mother (that's me!) drops May 25th. That's Monday! While you wait you should check out my trans resistance spoken word science fiction single: Gorgon's Daughter! moth-mother.bandcamp.com/album/gorgon...

A little #gunpla on a Saturday morning. Tiny robot head from the Aerial Rebuild. #GWitch #gundam

What a way to enshitify search...

The hell is wrong with these people?!

The way people take these bozos seriously, its like living in the twilight zone. He has carefully crafted his image as some kinda wizard, with the "ever since he was a child, he was special, played chess" stories the press served us 🙄 At least the kids don't seem to be buying this so there's that.

I maintain that generative AI is very much inherently bad, and extremely useful for the worst, most toxic applications A system that convincingly fabricates content with no designed drive towrads accuracy or ethics of humanity is not "useless". You can use it for lying, fakery, cheating, abuse

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

Every time somebody tries to sell me on some "good" use of LLMs managing large amounts of data or something I'm like

After many setbacks, I have now crafted a replica of the #NES #Metroid game manual! For better or worse, I apparently own zero staples (but at least four staplers), so I stitch-bound it with embroidery floss in a dark blue to coordinate the cover. #bookbinding

Additional #Gunpla acquired. Getting the Demi Barding gives me most of the #GWitch models I'm after!

Lovely and encouraging analysis by one of my colleagues. So happy to be #trans in Australia. #auspol www.abc.net.au/religion/gig...

I got my hair styled and tonight I discovered a new *fringe benefit* – it blocks raindrops from my glasses. (For the Americans "fringe" == "bangs".)

Good piece by Jefferson Pooley on how LLM-powered “research” tools like Google’s “Deep Research” and Elsevier’s “AI Discovery” likely strengthen the “Matthew effect”: highly-cited authors are amplified while undercited (often female) authors are increasingly ignored: blogs.lse.ac.uk/impactofsoci...

Okay, I haven't wanted to talk about this because I was afraid I'd jinx it, or that it wouldn't be real, but since I just delivered my first paid commissioned piece & have accepted another commission I think it's official: I'm contributing illustrations to the official expansion of the #MYST TTRPG!

Yeah... I switched away months ago... clear that was the right choice.

It feels really hard to just get legitimate answers to random questions anymore. I feel like we need ye olde Yahoo! powered by people organising directories of sites. Or maybe just web rings.
