This bundle is absolutely worth it for The Cosmic Wheel Sisterhood alone! I absolutely love Deconstructeam's games though, they always get me thinking in the best way possible. Plus, all the music for their games? 10/10, @fingerspit.bsky.social never misses.

You cannot understand US politics without understanding racism. It's impossible.

From mocking Serge Kovaleski to ASL cuts to “let them die” sentiments shared without shame to firing dedicated civil servants—slowly, but surely, Trump's dangerous #disability rhetoric has become public policy. Essential reading from E.Tammy Kim in @newyorker.com: www.newyorker.com/news/deep-st...

The horrors persist, but Honey came out of her annual checkup being told she's a very healthy kitty and an absolute sweetheart 🙂‍↕️

Oh, to be blissfully unaware of the horrors… and that we're about to have a fight in an hour (aka my cat vs. me with her carrier).

hi, cis folks! if you said you’d stand with trans people, we need you now. the FY26 budget bill gets a vote by 9/30. the GOP wants to jam a ban on federal funding for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. we need you to call senators: reps.fyi more info & script downthread.🧵

They say "lol just kidding" about the prices of the Switch 2 and its games.

Roland couldn't wait to go to school. The other kids were gonna be totes jelly of his sweet-ass new kicks.

I'm not going to lie, the Korean memes and meltdowns over Silksong happening over on Tw*tter are absolutely hilarious.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

this is nightmarish and should alarm you no matter what your opinions on pornography are

I am excited to announce the Games for Palestine charity bundle page is now live!!! Over 300+ games with proceeds going to UNRWA USA in support of Gaza relief. Thank you to everyone for your support. The bundle launches on Sept 2nd 9am PST. Link: itch.io/b/2979/play-...

better, smarter people than me have spoken on this but this is one of the main issues with kpop all up, imo. Black people's involvement in kpop goes largely unacknowledged despite the fact that the entire music and dance style is hiiiiiiiighly derivative of Black American culture.

I also really want to encourage people to check out the work of Korean artist Ayoung Kim, who did a powerful multimedia work about the treatment of Syrian refugees in Korea, for which she was a finalist for the Korea Artists Prize in 2019 koreaartistprize.org/en/project/a...

BREAKING: Silksong will be out on September 4. Two weeks from today. Really. Often, games that take 7+ years to make are plagued by mismanagement and painful burnout. But for Silksong? Team Cherry was having a blast. They still are. This is their story: www.bloomberg.com/news/newslet...

TWO WEEKS??? (iykyk)

Yesterday was my cat's birthday, so here's a blurry photo of her looking completely surprised for some reason, haha. I also adopted her around this time 5 years ago, so this post is just to express how glad I am to have her, even if she yaps like no tomorrow and is constantly seeking attention!

It's the best fruit season of the year, aka 참외 (Korean melon) season!! 🥰 I'm also so happy that I can find them at the farmers' market near me!!!

ALL Haymarket Books are 40% off through August 22nd! ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽

FYI Bookshop.org has anti-prime free shipping rn!

happy birthday to bill watterson who gave me the gift of encapsulating my entire ethical approach in one comic panel.

US empire needs to fall if you want to see liberation here and globally, but that's a conversation many USians (including left-leaning folks) aren't ready to have, because it means letting go of comfort and privileges that most don't want to give up.

Honor the sadness and despair and grief, but reach out if you feel it's consuming you. If it's too much, reach out. If you're holding it together and you see someone not? Reach out. We gotta start somewhere, and that's with ourselves and each other.

It, on average, takes 25 years to fix a bad bill. This bill destroys higher education and will for generations. Our public health and healthcare infrastructure are GONE. Generations will feel the burden of this. The entire country has changed.

I was feeling REALLY anxious about the course I'm teaching this summer, but after this week and based on convos with some students, I think everything will be okay—

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

Yikes, massive English fail this morning at the coffee shop. Me: I can coffee have? … wait, that's… sorry, English not… working??? Barista: You… want a cup of coffee? Would you like room for milk? Me: Yes please. And not milk… black. I mean just black. Barista: … I'll make sure it's extra strong.

The “largest landback deal in California history” was just completed, and it could be a model for the future.

I forgot to add this crucial point, but one reason their word choice surprised me is because they're Korean immigrants whose view of LA was very colored by the 1992 uprising. If you know the history, well… you know.

My immigrant parents said 시위 (protest) and not 폭동 (riot) to describe what was happening in LA. This may not seem all that revolutionary, but it's huge to me that they're (very slowly) becoming more aware of what words they're using.

Why did your police help ICE then?

Gender segregation was better in the old days

Having recently experienced martial law in Korea, what happened yesterday in LA, and is ongoing nationally, does not look very different. 
Wikipedia says, “Martial law is the replacement of civilian government by military rule and the suspension of civilian legal processes for military powers.”

Oh, this is the good shit right here.

Dragging myself across the finish line, today's the last day of class… then I have to grade/give feedback and prepare for summer teaching right after… I feel like I haven't had a chance to breathe since winter break 🫠 Something something the quarter system is brutal…

there is something intangibly gross in how asian features are so frequently used for artificial, machine personas it's almost as if in popular imagination asian features are associated with a sort of controllable autonomous programming, but no soul.

Feeling giddy seeing Pitta KKM post the tattoo he did for me on his IG story 🙂‍↕️

I'm so disappointed, ugh, especially with how they market Kobos as a good/better alternative to Kindles. And I really like my Kobo 😞 (Ugh, I really hope this is addressed by the company…)

South Korean politics is really special in its own way 😅

Just one week left to get abstracts in for our targeted CFP

Does anyone know the best frame to get for a B2-sized poster (20.3x28.7in) without it costing an arm and a leg in the US? Right now, I can only think of getting a 22.375x34in frame with custom matting, but if someone has other ideas…
