every time i talk about how chill my doc is about getting me HRT and i hear about non-Americans struggling to get access to basic shit this conversation always pops in my head

Video games make companies billions in profit yet we are still getting laid off at alarming rates. If this is a reality you know all too well and want to fight against, come find us at GDC!!

it's so crazy reading all these articles about the gender marker change/bathroom ban in kansas and all the interviews are done with my friends lol

If the state has a rational interest to compel adults to “appreciate their sex” I shudder to think about the possible implications for the autonomy of any and all persons. How far might such sex appreciation interest & enforcement extend?

Come stop by our booth to get buttons, ribbons, zines, and anti-spiking drink-cover stickers! You can also talk to an organizer about what unionizing might be able to do for you and our industry!

The marketized monarchy of the alt-right paradigm is nothing but long-form improv and an endless implosion into the infantile image of the self.

Idk who needs to hear this but ACAB includes ICE concentration camp supervisors

This is important if you don't want visa or MasterCard to tell you how to spend your money.

its been genuinely so funny that the two massive “scandals” for james talarico so far is that he follows a few onlyfans girls on socials, and that he respects trans people. sounds like a normal guy to me

rt if u hate nazis and love boobs

Bring on the ground penetrating equipment. Canvas the 'neighborhood' and interview people who serviced that ranch, saw the traffic, sold their own kids to wealthy men after being promised 'careers' for the kids.

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms. This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.

can cis people fucking do something about this shit for once

there was a new study published *today* in Nature showing that state-level anti-trans laws increase suicide among trans kids up to 72%. when we say that the New York Times (and other rags of equal repute) is killing us, that's because *IT IS LITERALLY KILLING US*

being earnest, what libs miss is we have "held our nose" and "voted for the lesser evil" our whole lives and look where it got us we're done running full speed down that dead end- run a good candidate, or piss off "there are only two choices" wrong, there is always a third so get it together

Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?

who could have predicted that members of a regime you have publicly promised to end both as a political body and as a collection of individual lives might proceed as though you said that

"slay the spire"? u mean bottom surgery?

Indeed bsky.app/profile/rich...

When we talk about genocides in the U.S., there are the many genocides of tribal nations that have been ongoing for centuries. There is also the genocide of Black people, the conditions of which have never gone away. This can be useful historical context for things happening now.

you prepared to be lucky every time white boy

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

is it good that Iran is putting mines in the strait of hormuz? we asked this group of Iowa republican voters, who agreed that the real problem was trans athl

My honest take is that I want to pass enough so cis folks dont harass me, but not so much that trans folks worry about me doing the same to them

I don't normally check ClearSky because I'm not really about social media minmaxing or starting stuff about blocks, but I *did* check what lists I'm on recently and apparently I'm on an "anti-binarist" list. As in, they think I'm against binary trans people, as a binary trans woman

the most dead-eyed soulless capitalists can read fossil fuels’ writing on the wall and are investing in clean energy. the problem is there are more people exist who romanticize fossil fuels because coal miners and roughnecks are men

gender turns out to be a harder problem to solve society-wide than decarbonization

trans athletes were first allowed in the olympics in 2004. the first 4 openly trans athletes to compete were in the 2021 tokyo summer olympics. only 2 are trans women. of these two, neither chelsea wolfe (bmx freestyle, eliminated) nor laurel hubbard (weightlifting +87kg, dnf) placed in the top 10.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

Truly a perfect news alert

highlight of my professional game dev career

government small enough to fit inside every child's bedroom and pick out their clothes every school day

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking. I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

If you took your kid to the doctor recently for any reason, there's a one in five chance you walked away with an off-label prescription. Nearly half of all pediatric prescriptions are off-label.

My sense from GDC so far is that everyone is trying to metabolize the fact that we just don't know what the fuck anything is going to look like in five years.

Extra, Extra, Read All About It ! etc . Leaving the replies unlocked but please be thoughtful, thanks loves

I love having to air out my private business with @b0tster.yeag.gay to feed the transexual rumor mill

please stop spreading false rumors about me 💔

I sometimes worry that too many people think being a good critic means being a self-righteous dick about every little thing and I think far too many miss the point that you can't critique anything if you don't know how to love something.

This is amazing. When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels. That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.

???

when the most prominent meme about a minority is that the attempted suicide rate approaches half of the *surviving* population of that minority, yeah, they know what they’re doing when they target us. every trans crackdown is an attempted mass murder.

The one thing I've learned about game dev is that you plan to do one thing and then you end up doing maybe a quarter of the thing and fix 600 unrelated problems and thats on a good day

“Several years ago, nephrologists attempted a first-of-its-kind effort: remove race from a key clinical algorithm, and attempt to undo the harms… A new study found the change had big results, impacting 27% of Black patients and resulting in 5.3 more transplants per 1000 Black candidates.”

i would apologize for getting drunk and yelling about the bullshit trans people have to live with on their shoulders and pretend nothing is wrong at the witching hour every few days or so but like i'm a trans person who has to live with this insane bullshit like

Lowkey ally
